Download Error - "Item Being Modified"

Curious if anyone has any insight on an error I'm receiving while trying to download a book. It reads: "This item is currently being modified. Please try again later." Trouble is, that I've been getting the error for a few days. I was able to download a sample of the book, but not the rest. Any insight would be appreciated - very frustrating!

This is an old thread, but the problem is happening now to me, too.  For me, it all started in the last month or so.  A real pain.  Most apps download fine, but a significant minority do not, ever.

  • Album downloads do not work - Error "Content Being Modified"

    I am trying to download an Album from the artist "Enya" (Album Title "...And Winter Came"). For the past week, I try every day and continue to receive the following error:
    "Purchase of this Item is not currently available. The item is being modified - please try again later."
    It was officially released on Nov 11, 2008 so I know it's not an issue of waiting for it to come out. Has anyone else had this kind of problem in iTunes before? Either with this or another album? What kind of resolution should I take? Apple's support page is not very helpful, or it is not obvious how to actually send them an email without going through 10,000 menu options (none of which actually pertain to my issue).

    Many people have posted the same problem about that new Enya album. The message you saw means it is not available in the Store just now. You can try again another day, or check out other online music download stores.

  • Item being modified  in appletv

    Why is it that when I try to download a movie most times I get the message "item currently being modified try again later" This is usually (but not always)a rental and I can buy the movie. This happens about 80% of the time the other 20% it works ok. I'm using windows vista and itunes 10.0

    I've had the same problem. I've had my 2nd gen apple tv for about 8 mo now and have yet to sucesfully purchase a rental on it. i always get the "item is currently being modified." i've tried the same items at different times, completely resored my box, checked the network and so on. can't get it to work. i've even attempted to get in touch with apple however since i'm overseas (military) they will only "support" me through a phone call. said phone call puts me on hold for ages and is simply not worth it.
    Long story short, just download the movies online (torrents are great) and if they aren't already in itunes-friendly mp4 format simply convert them over (i use quicktime 7 pro) and drag them into your itunes where they will usually play quite well.
    -as a footnote if qt doesn't work you can find a plethora of freeware conversion software out there-

  • Item being modified?

    Ok so today I went to buy the third volume of the TV show "Invader Zim" I have enough money on my account so I click to purchase the season and I get an alert telling me that the purchase of this item is not currently available and that the item is being modified and I should try again later.
    How long does this typically last so that I can buy the volume?

    This happened to me too. I bought this yesterday to install on my 2011 macbook pro, 7,1 (I also have snow leopard 10.6.8). I tried to redeem the code and it keeps saying the item is being modified try again later. I did read a post somewhere that said have a friend with a mac log into your app store account on their mac and try it. I'm afraid to do that just yet.  Maybe we need to wait a little longer? Someone said it shows that message because they are updating the software?

  • Item being modifyed

    I keep geting "This item is being modifyed. Pleas try again later" every time I try to purchase an app... Does anybody know why or have a solution?

    I believe the developer/publisher is doing changes on the APP.

  • Can't buy anything. "this item being modified" message

    You guys at Apple REALLY don't like to talk to anybody when your product is faulty
    My question is....again...I cannot buy anything on ITunes. A message comes up "Purchase of this item is not currently available. The item is being modified. Please try again later,"
    It's not just 1 item...it's all items. How long do I have to put up with this? There is no point wasting money with you if you can't supply the product.

    Nobody from Apple is here. This is a user to user support forum.
    There appears to be an issue with the iTunes/App Stores right now. Try again later or tomorrow.

  • Can't Download (Item being modified)

    How long does it take to modify something? I've been trying to download an album for the last 2 hours. Is there a way to report this to I-tunes besides the "Request Music" feedback?

    It's been known to take upwards of a few weeks, depending on the problem.

  • Error message: "Item is being modified, please try again later"

    I'm trying to buy Dhafer Youssef album "Digital Prophecy" from finnish iTMS. When i click "Buy Now" in my shopping cart, iTunes will give me various error messages,
    "Item is being modified",
    "Your shopping cart's contents have changed." or
    "We could not complete your Music Store request. The server was not found."
    I've bought several albums from iTMS before with no problems. I know for sure that there is no problems in my credit card or so. Also "the item" i am trying to buy, has been "being modified" for more than week already, so the problem must be somewhere else than just that it's price is being changed or so.
    Anyone with a fix for this problem? I am running the latest version of Tiger, and all the latest updates from Software Update, both Quicktime and iTunes are as up-to-date as they can be.
    G4 iBook & Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    They've been having problems with various albums. it's listed at two different prices but appears to be the same album. Others who have had this problem have clicked on the review page and downloaded their selection from there. I don't see that for this selection.
    Try to purchase the $7.92 version.

  • App store error message - Item is being modified

    I can not download a couple of game apps. The error message says the items are being modified and I should try again later. Since these apps are free today only, I won't get the sale price if I download later.
    Whats going on at the app store?

    No one seems to have any answers so far, but you may want to watch/add to this thread:

  • Can't copy Aperature Library to external.  Get this error "The operation can't be completed because an item is being modified."

    I have been trying to find a solution to this problem by browsing this forum but I can't seem to find a solution.
    As many others have decided to do I want to copy my Aperature library to an external FW 800 drive as my laptop space is dwindling.  It seems all you need to do is copy the Library from the finder which can also be revealed in the preference if Aperature.  When copying it seems to transfer for a few seconds but then I get this error "The operation can’t be completed because an item is being modified."  I have formatted the drive correctly and there is no issues with Aperature itself so why do you think I am having this error?  What can I do to copy this Library to my external?

    Reboot your machine make sure Aperture doesn't start (as Lion is liable to do) and try it.

  • Okay, so I'm trying to download an album from the store on the iPod. It's telling me "Item is currently being modified. Please try again later." Its really starting to make me mad; Is there anyway to get rid of that message?

    It's telling me "Item is currently being modified. Please try again later." Its really starting to make me mad; Is there any way to get rid of that message?
    PS. The reason I'm downloading directly from the iPod is because the laptop that had my iPod synched to it crashed and the recovery disk didn't fix it. I don't wanna lose all my songs. :/

    If it says it is temporarily being modified than you should wait until tomorrow or later tonight. If it keeps happening, try downloading something else. If it has the same message, it is probably a problem with iTunes on your iPod. If it downloads regularly, there must just be a problem with the album.

  • The SharePoint item being crawled returned an error when attempting to download the item.

    I get this error when I run full crawl.
    The SharePoint item being crawled returned an error when attempting to download the item.
    I did make sure that the crawl account has full read access to the web application. I am able to access the page and site just fine from a browser. I am not sure what is causing the problem.

  • What does it mean when it says "This item is being modified. Please try again later."?

    I tried to download Thor:The Dark World by redeeming the code, but this message popped up.
    What should I do?

    It likely means just that. The item is currently being modified in the iTunes Store and you will have to try downloading it again later. Usually this type of thing is done in 72 hours.
