Deleted everything off my Mac mini now it won't let me download OS X

After not using my Mac mini in a number of years I decided to reboot to factory default. I followed instructions to do this however I must've done something wrong. When I am in disk utilities and trying to create a new partition it won't let me. Error code 61 pops up. So I tried to by pass this and download OS X snow leopard anyway but when I go to do that it says that it can't be installed on a disk with MS-DOS (FAT32) format. I'm stuck. My computer won't run.

If it is an Intel Mac Mini, you will need to set the Partition Map Scheme to "GUID Partition Table" and Format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If it is a PPC Mac Mini, you will need to set the Partition Map Scheme to "Apple Partition Map" and Format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Then reinstall the OS X on your Install Disc and Update it.
1. Boot from your install DVD or Bootable Clone and open Disk Utility.
2. Highlight the HDD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
6. Once that is done, then you can do a clean Install from your Install Disc.

Do you have enough funds in your bank account?
otherwise iTunes sometimes black lists card if there are too many fradulent purchases
Reason why they might black list a card is possibly you call in for alot of fradulent purchases
One more reason can be because iTunes does actually limit the amount you can change payment methods
Call AppleCare Phone support and have your call directed to iTunes Store

HT2688 My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now.

My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.

In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

HT5312 I forgot my security question answers and answered wrong too many times so now it won't let me download anything even though I know my password, what do I do?

You need to add a valid payment method to the account. An iTunes gift card can be added.

My ipod has been accessed from another ipod and now it won't let me download anything what do i do

my ipod account has been accessed from another ipod and now it won't let me download anything...What Do I do?

Not sure what you are talking about.
Your ITUNES account can be accessed from any device or computer that has itunes, as long as you have your username and password. Using your itunes account from another device does not affect your ability to use the account from your device.
What is the issue?
You tried to do what?
And what was the result?
Error message?

Purchased a TV season and now it won't let me download next episodes

I purschased season of Sons of Anarchy and downloaded first episode but now it is telling me to download the other episodes I must pay $2.99. What gives and how can I download next episodes without paying for what I have alreadt purchased?

Hey there 3202hill,
It sounds like you purchased a season of a TV show, and after downloading the first, you are being prompted to buy the rest of the episodes rather than just download them as previous purchases. I would first doublecheck my purchased history and make sure it wasnt a single episode purchase.
iTunes Store: See your purchase history and web order numbers
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2727
When you confirm that you purchased the entire season, I would next sign out of the iTunes Store, and then restart the computer, sign back in, and try to download the other episodes again.
Choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
You can also sign in to your account by clicking Sign In at the top of the iTunes Store window:
From: iTunes 11 for Mac: Manage your iTunes Store account
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12299
When you confirm you purchased the season, I would next use the following article to report an issue to the iTunes Store support directly:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1933
To report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase, follow these steps:
Find the email receipt for your purchase.
Click Report a Problem under the app that is having the issue.
When prompted, enter the Apple ID and password you used to purchase the item, then click Report a Problem.
Click Report a Problem next to the item you are having an issue with.
From the Choose Problem dropdown menu, choose the appropriate issue.
Follow the onscreen instructions and—if prompted—type a description of the problem into the text field.
Click Submit to have your issue reviewed.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
