Does iTunes store always have all these glitches or just today

Someone gave me a 25 dollar iTunes card. I am trying to buy and download some songs today but the site keeps having one glitch after another. Is this normal for the iTunes store? What should have been a 20 minute shopping experience has now gone over 2 hours in delays and frustrations. I was able to finally buy 11 songs in my wish list, but then when I added 7 more and even though I still have $9.15 left in credit for these songs that cost $9.03, the website gives the repeated message when I try to purchase them, unable to process transaction at this time. How will I know when it is able to process? Am I supposed to check back once an hour? Or will the iTunes store send me an email when it is able to process transactions again?
If this is the way the store website always behaves, I cannot believe Apple would put its name on it. I hope it is some overdue maintenance they need to do and soon because if I cannot purchase music from their store with the remainder of the giftcard given to me, I am surely not ever going to purchase music from their store with my own money. Apple/iTunes has made a very bad impression with me today for all the problems with this glitchy website.
Peace and God bless.

When you add a new episode to your feed and upload it, it appears immediately for subscribers because their iTunes application reads the feed directly and the Store is not involved.
However because of the huge number of podcasts in the Store (thousands) the Store caches the feed and checks it for updates periodically. For this reason it usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear in the Store: sometimes it can be less, and occasionally the whole process seems to get stuck and it can take several days.
You podcast is up to date in the Store with an episode posted yesterday; if you've been used to quicker results you've just been lucky; you can't rely on it always happening.

  • Does iTunes Store have a Genius button?

    I mean does iTunes Store have, like, recommendations for songs that would go great together? Well, if, say, I'm interested in this one song, and I click somewhere, and it will tell me some other songs that are going great with the song that i'm thinking of buying?

    These articles explain how the iTunes Genius works.

  • Does the iTunes Store still have $4.99 movies?

    Does the iTunes Store still have $4.99 movies? If they do, how do you find them? It seems that the iTunes Store no longer links to discounted movies.

    Thanks to Jesse M for the "See all >>" suggestion, which is better than nothing, and to iNexxFear for all your hard work, but I absolutely need the search results to come up with full functionality. The possibility of searching painstakingly by separate categories for Composer, Album etc. merely puts me at the mercy of the overworked, undereducated interns who have to type in such information, unaided of course by iTunes' hopelessness at categorising anything other than pop songs.
    However, I've found a fantastic solution of my own. It's called Amazon. Only 69p a track. Searching isn't perfect, but it's far better than this appalling leap backwards by Apple.
    Yes, I'm upset. But I see the thin end of a wedge that's turning Apple into Microsoft.

  • No matter how many times I start itunes on my pc I have to agree to the terms of service gain and when it does open my settings have all been changed.  why is it doing this and how can I satop it?  reinstalling does not fix it.

    No matter how many times I start itunes on my pc I have to agree to the terms of service again and when it does open my settings have all been changed.  Why is it doing this and how can I stop it?  Reinstalling/repairing does not fix it.

    McAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?
    Or it could be an issue with the SC Info folder. See TS1277 - iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization for details.
    Or a repair install of iTunes from the Programs and Features control panel might fix the problem.

I never send anything from there but I have the same email in yahoo but delete them and they still show up in apple mail from day one how do I get rid of these once and for all.Please help
    <Edited by Host>

    I am soooooooooooo confused now.  Ok, if you are having problems with Yahoo Mail and Gmail but you do not use Apple's Mail you need to do the following:
    1 - Post in Yahoo's Mail forums and/or contact their tech support.
    2 - Post in Gmails forums and/or contact their tech support.
    Neither of the above are Apple's products.

  • I have rented a movie from apple tv but cant watche it,it says go to itunes store and check for rentals, but its just lowding

    just rented a movie from my apple tv, accidently got out, and cant play it back, it says that go to itunes store and check for rentals, but it just show lowding and lowding                              please some one help, how can i play it back????????????????

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

    You don't have the typical symptoms that I associate the following issue with (normally the error kicks in just when folks visit the Store), but just in case try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:

  • HT3842 Does iTunes store the original music file and copy it into a separate folder? If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library?

    Hi, on my last PC when transferring music to my new MacBook Pro i noticed i had about 6 duplicated of each song in every album i took hours in removing them.
    I Just wondered Does iTunes store the original music file and then copy it into a separate folder?
    If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library or vice versa. I didnt want to lose any music like i have some how managed to on my old computer.
    Or should i keep both files of it in the Music folder and also iTunes library folder?
    Which is best ?

    It does both at the same time.
    When you add files to iTunes, it copies them into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder. The original file remains where it was.
    You can drag a file to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.
    This will add to iTunes and move it to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/.
    I keep a shortcut of this folder on my desktop then simply drag files to the shortcut to add to iTunes.
    Then there are no "extra" files around.

  • I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only). However no itunes playlists. i have all my playlists on my iphone and pics etc however when im trying to sync to my new computer itunes deletes all data

    I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only). However no itunes playlists. i have all my playlists on my iphone and pics etc however when im trying to sync to my new computer itunes wants to  deletes all data off of my iphone so i click cancel
    i want to update to iOS 5 and still have itunes be able to copy my playlists from my iphone. for free. why does apple provide a recovery from iphone option?

    If you have a backup, restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the computer.  This restores the library and device association files.  If for some reason you chose to only back up the media and not the entire iTunes folder, then the only option is to let iTunes wipe the drive and re-sync.

    I have a problem with the iTunes Store, I have an ipod and an iphone 2. I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
    ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

    Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country.  Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are. 
    Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

  • Why does itunes in France have a complete lack of english language content on the TV programmes... prefering to release dubbed programmes and not the original english language content, surely it will cost nothing to release both?

    Why does itunes in France have a complete lack of english language content... prefering to release dubbed programmes and not the original english language content?
    It would be just as easy to release both a dubbed version and then a subtitled version.
    I am a native english speaker but live in France. My father has just moved over to live with me in France and speaks very little French.
    The price for a television series is very often more than a dvd box set but does not offer language options.
    My French is passable but I would still prefer to hear the programme in English.
    Using itunes uk is not an option as my cards are french or english with a french postal address.
    The content has been adapted for the french site all i want is to access the original.
    The series i have been trying to buy is HBOs 'boardwalk empire'.
    The stupid thing is to please my father i would buy up most the HBO, BBC and Channel 4 content a cost of a couple of thousand euros.

    Try giving Apple feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback and also contact the Apple headquarters at http://www.apple.com/contact  We are all fellow users and not Apple employees and often raise questions like yours ourselves.  If enough make Apple aware of a market/need then something may be done about it.
    France has come a very long way with regard to other languages.  When I lived in France, mid-880s, there was an entire Ministry devoted to the purity of the French language...that was the time the PC came out.  A TV news person was cashiered for using the term 'computer' on-air instead of the French created word 'ordinateur'.  They took the language extremely seriously at that time.  At least today there is recognition and even use of English by the masses

    Hi my itunes program crashes when i try to access the itunes store.  Have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no avail.

    Me too - running iTunes 10.5.3 on Windows 7.  Will allow me to sign in to iTunes, download app updates and then if I either close iTunes or try to sign out of my iTunes account it all freezes.  So frustrating, because my understanding is that iTunes saves the library file when exiting.  So, everytime I update apps I lose all the downloads.
