Error -9808, cannot download from iTunes store! Please help!

Everytime I try to login to buy something from the iTunes store, I get a message saying to try again later because an unknown error (-9808) has occured. But I try later and it's always the same!
I have run the diagnostics on iTunes and it says that I lack a secure link to the iTunes store.
I've also tried all of the solutions listed on the Apple Support section, including security issues but nothing has worked!
Please help! I just wanna buy some music!

so you've tried connecting to a wifi signal/network?

    Sorry, yes iTunes on your computer.
    When I updated my iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th generation to iOS 6 a few months back, I was able to update the iPad effortlessly over WiFi. but I kept getting error messages when trying to update the iPod over WiFi, so I used iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
    Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update
    If you are using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar at the top - so the sidebar is visible.

    When I try to download my updates it keeps saying cannot connect to iTunes store please help I'm going mad!

    a lot of people have posted about this and i have seen one weird thing fix this. people said they where going into date and time under settings and changing  the date to some time in the future and then going to the itunes store and it would give them an error that there date and time was wrong. then all you need to do is go back and set the date and time right and go back to the itunes store and try again.
    Im not sure why this did the trick but a bunch of people said that this helped them out..... Weird i know

  • Cannot download from iTunes store

    Due to a severe crash that affected my computer and TM back-up I lost all my music. The iTunes music store was so kind to give me the possibility to re-download all my purchases.
    But when I click 'store -> check for available downloads' iTunes asks for my password and starts spinning for a while and then I get a message that either there is an error in the Store and the connection got lost, or I get the message that the store is unavailable at the moment and I should try later.
    I can see when I clcik the download pane (in the short time it shows during the 'spinning') that there are 766 items waiting to be downloaded, but I cannot connect to them. I tried this with several computers (running OS 10.6 and 10.7 and Windows), latest iTunes software, even diiferent locations (different internet connections). All the same. It looks like something is blocking this amount of downloads and resulting in a timeout. Even new purchases will be blocked from downloading (there is one purchase 'pre-ordered' among the downloads that I never downloaded yet, but I have paid for).
    The iTunes support that were initially very helpfull has given up on my problem. So I got stuck now with a blocked, and therefore useless account and still '766 items to download'
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jos

  • TS3694 error -39 leads to error -50 when downloading from itunes store and the download will not resume

    I download a TV Show from itunes and usually as soon as it begins, it tells me that my TV Show is ready to watch and I can choose to "Play TV Show Now" or "Watch Later." I choose Play TV Show Now. Then after about 20 seconds of watching, and error message comes up with the error code -39. The download stopped and when I resume, it will download for 5 more seconds but then I get another error message with the code -50. I click the Resume button and it won't resume no matter how many times I click it. So I have to go to Music, iTunes, iTunes Media, Downloads, and delete the folder with the name of the TV Show that wouldn't work. Then i open iTunes again and Check for Downloads and it starts over downloading.
    The errors only occur when I start playing the TV Show while its downloading. Its fine if I let it download.
    How do I fix the errors?

    That's not the issue (waiting for the download to complete).  The issue is that the download never ever completes.  The Computer says "Hey, you can watch your show," but then just a few moments have downloaded, and you get a "-50" error.
    The published solution for the -50 error is to navigate to the wack place that itunes has decided to store your download (if you can find it) and delete the partial file and try again.
    I have "tried again" 5 times now.  It's not working.

  • HT1527 Cannot download from itunes store because store thinks i don't have 10.6.1

    I get this error saying i cannot download the requested item because i don't have itunes 10.6.1. I do have - it is the 64 bit edition, windows home premium 64 is my OS. Appears store checks for 32 bit and ignores presence of 64 bit itunes.

    However, I can no longer access the iTunes store as the PC just sits there in limbo.

  • Error -3150 when downloading from iTunes Store

    For the past several days since upgrading to iT8, when I've tried to download files from iTunes, it has errored out at some point of the download with error -3150. I got this error when downloading a 9MB podcast file, and also a 1.64GB HD tv show.
    When I got it on the podcast, it reset all of the file's progress and started over. Thankfully, it did not do it with the TV show (which was 999MB through) or I would have been considerably more upset, but it did waste all the time I was using to download it. ADSL is terrible in the country I'm currently staying in, but it's all that's available to me.
    In any case, I have not seen any mention of this error anywhere, and would appreciate knowing what it means, and more importantly, what Apple is doing about it.

    Well, I guess that will have to do. Thanks for the heads up. It is a DSL connection, and there's not much that I can do about intermittent connections because cable/satellite is literally nonexistant in this country. However, Apple might want to consider revamping their file transfer protocols if this is going to be a standard problem - this would be in their best interest especially since they're going to be releasing the iPhone all over the world, and very few places have Internet speeds like USA and East Asia.

  • Cannot connect to itunes store, please help

    it is not a firewall problem, i checked it and itunes is on the list of permitted things. my connection to the internet is strong and working. i ran the diagnostic test and it said the problem is "secure link to itunes store failed". should know that last night i had to recover everything on the computer after a faulty download and i had to re-install itunes.

    Which firewall? Have you seen the many posts just from Norton users alone who had itunes listed, so it looked ok.....but after they took itunes out of Norton and re-added itunes & ituneshelper, could connect?
    The Windows firewall certainly recognizes new versions of iTunes, but the other ones don't seem to.

  • Downloading from itunes. Please Help!

    I am thinking about buying and Ipad 2 and was wondering if items I bought for my ipod can also be downloaded to the ipad or do i have to rebuy them for the ipad. Thank you

    If the apps are also optimized for the iPad, you can re download past purchases using the same Apple ID for free.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Launch iTunes and find one of the apps you have already purchased. On the left side of that window you should see: Requirements. Example; Compatible with iphone, iPad, iPod touch and version numbers.
    Not all apps written for an iPhone are compatible with an iPad or iPod touch and vice versa.

    IOS 6 WIFI FIX FOR NOW!!!!!
    The only quick fix for now is to reset your Network
    Setting/General/Reset/Reset Nettwork Settings
    Make sure you copy your password somewhere. I did so on  Notes so that i could copy and paste.
    This will work for a while but the problem keeps coming back in a day or so but at least its a quick fix.
    I have the problem on both my Iphone and Ipad 3 with IOS 6
    The only other permanent fix is to go back to IOS 5 which I had back when I tried IOS 6 bata and had the same problem which I thought Applw would have Fixed.
    Apple better get there act together or Android is going to Kick there *** SOON!

  • Cannot connect to itunes store Please help me sniff sniff..

    yet again I have had to upgrade my itunes to a newer version and it has completely killed my connection to itunes store. I have tried everything, reinstalling, switching off my antivirus, switching off my firewall, replacing the host file it goes on and on. The only thing I have not tried is to delete everyhting I can find with the name itunes in it as I don't want to mess up my playlists etc.. Can anyone suggest anything?

    I read on another discussion that apple are aware of the problem and working on a fix. I'm fed up with itunes I constantly have issues with it and it's not just me nearly everyone I speak to says exactly the same. Does anyone know of a decent alternative to it??
