Error 504 when trying to purchase an app

I was trying to purchase personal assistant and Vlingo and I keep getting that error.
I select purchase, log into paypal, select buy now again and it starts downloading. Then I get the system error 504.
Free apps download just fine.
I'm running OS 4.7
I've tried pulling the battery
I've tried removing app world and re-installing it

I resolved this problem for myself.  I don't if it was the reason but I had a PayPal account that I had for years, only recently adding a debit/credit card as the credit card pay option.
I created a new paypal account with a different email address and 1st added a credit card (AMEX to be precise) to fund the account.  Verified the account through email, changed the login in MyWorld (don't know if that was necessary).
I purchased an app, with no 504 errors!!!!

    I can purchase songs in itunes, but not the in-app purchase for Kingdoms at War. I've checked the parental controls and all the other obvious things in settings. Let me know if anyone knows how to correct this. Thanks.

    Here is an update and more information:  I actually have two MBP's.  One is a mid-2009 model and one is a new, mid-2012.  I transferred files from the mid-2009 to the mid-2012, but I use both computers frequently.  This problem only occurs on the mid-2009 and not on the mid-2012.  I have authorized both computers.

    We have tried deleting and re-installing the apps and attempting the in-app purchase again.  Still get error messages. Any suggestions?

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

    I get an error message when trying to purchase addtional icloud storage.  All of my credit card and account information is up to date.

    This behavior was described here many times.
    Apple delivered a technote about that.
    Go to my public BOX (address below)

    uninstall iWork '09.zip
    Expand the archive then run the script.
    After that, reinstall the application (or the entire package)
    If you bought Pages thru the Mac App Store, there is no need to pay one more time.

    If you used iTunes on your computer to download the app, suggest you download the app using your iPad. Should then install correctly.

  • Has anyone heard of error 45054 when trying to purchase music from itunes?

    Has anyone run into error 45054 when trying to purchase music from itunes?

    I had this problem just recently.
    I discovered that the problem was located here: ROOT / Users / Shared  -- if you open that and the "adi" folder has a little red minus symbol in its corner, your permissions have somehow been lost. (If you can't see your root directory, open Finder Preferences and, under sidebar, check "Hard disks." That will make your root drive visible.)
    If the "adi" folder has the red minus symbol, right-click the folder and select GET INFO.
    Sharing & Permissions is probably set to "System: Read & Write | wheel: Read Only | everyone: No Access"
    If so, your user account has no permissions, and that means iTunes can't use the folder properly.
    To fix this, first unlock the folder using the padlock icon in the bottom-right corner of "get info." You will have to supply your admin password to do this.
    Then click the little + sign in the bottom left corner to add a user, and select your user ID from the list of choices. Give yourself Read & Write permissions. (Alternatively, you could change the permissions of "everyone" to Read & Write; others have done that, but I was leery of doing it).
    Re-lock the folder when you're done.
    Hopefully that will solve it.

  • Does anyone have experience with error 504 when trying to download a podcast?

    Does anyone have experience with error 504 when trying to download a podcast?  I've been a subscriber for two years without issue and in the last two days can't download this particular podcast (everything else is working fine - music, other podcasts, etc)

    The album was released on the 27th March this year, so the error occurred almost immediately after it was supposedly available.
    In the manage pre-orders section of my account, it says AVAILABLE but does not give me any choice over whether to download it, just to cancel it. Is this normal?
    iTunes customer services reset my password and tried to download the album themselves, but they also got the 5002 error, so it's been passed off to the engineers. How long does that usually take?
    If anyone has any other suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

  • Error 20 when trying to update my apps from Macbookpro 15' 2012

    When trying to update my apps, with appstore, I get error 20... I'm stuck on that message from 1 week... :-(
    any advices ?

    In the lower right corner of the App Store window is a round button with the image of a flag. Clicking that button takes you to a page where you can choose your country by flag. You may have to scroll to the bottom of the window to see the button. The country must match your billing address on record.
