Error message when trying to make a purchase in iTunes store

I can connect to iTunes store fine, browse around etc but as soon as I try to do something eg make a purchase, download an app, log in etc I get an error message saying ;
"We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-9808).
There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later"
Been like this for days now, no change to PC setup so no idea what to do....
Any advice?

I too am having this problem and have had, for about a week now.
I've found that by logging off itunes (if I can), closing it down, and then restarting it, sometimes allows it to work for one transaction (say downloading an updated app). After that it's back to the same error.
Really annoying.

Keep getting error -45054 when trying to make a purchase from iTunes.

Whenever I try to make a purchase from iTunes, I get a -45054 error. On the Mac, this error is tied to disk access rights; my problem is not the same. Any ideas? Thanks

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...

Error Messages when trying to install, uninstall or run iTunes 9

I get the following error message when trying to Install iTunes:
The path C:\DOCUME~1\Frank\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP206.TMP\iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
I search my entire computer for the file but it's not there.
Then, when I try to uninstall the iTunes and start the install from scratch I get another error:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
Catch-22, I can't install or uninstall and when I try to run iTunes I get:
"The action is only valid for products that are installed"
Very frustrating but I'm stumped and I don't know how to proceed. Any help would be very much appreciated.

wooooooooo!!! got it working again!! having spent the last 6 hours..no joke six f*cking hours trying to sort it ive finally got iTunes back!!
ok here is what you need to do:
go to the link below and download the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Facility.
http://www.locksleynet.com/2009/06/09/missing-itunesmsi-problem-resolved/
once you have downloaded it, install it and run it from the start menu. once its up and running remove everything to do with iTunes (so iTunes itself, quicktime, bonjour......the lot). Dont worry about removing iTunes completely, all the music is still there when it works again trust me!!
ok once you have removed everything restart your computer, im not sure if this is a must but i did it.
next download quicktime from the apple website (go to the 'downloads' tab near the top. download and install quicktime and restart your computer so the new settings are put in to place ( i think it asks you to restart anyway).
go back to the apple website, 'downloads' tab and download iTunes itself. install that bad boy and you will be up and running with all your library intact!
Hope it works for you mate!

"Incorrect address" error message when attempting to make a purchase

I am now suddenly getting "incorrect address" when I try to make a purchase on iTunes. Why?? I have been purchasing items with exactly the same info for months. HELP!

POSIBLE SOLUTION, PLEASE READ!!!
I changed my billing address entering the original address used when creating the Apple ID, and it went fine for me. Try it if you have changed your billing address from the original address used to open the Apple ID.
Previously my IPHONE was giving me strange messages about ID confirmation when downloading stuff, but it still was downloading after all. Today, after updating itunes version, I noticed the same issue you all are experiencing. After reading the suggestions related to change the address to the exact info as the credit card, it just clicked me. I'd removed my credit card about two years ago. I've being using itunes gift cards. Also, my current billing address is different from the one used to open the Apple ID, about 5 years ago.

Error message when trying to import a CD into iTunes

I get an error message when I try to import a CD into iTunes that says the disk cannot be found. I recently requested to uninstall Tune-up because I kept receiving annoying messages to purchase the software. It looks like Tune-up is deactivated, but now I can't import music. Any suggestions?

Without much to go on I think your drive is having problems. It may be something minor such as dust which could possibly be removed using a drive cleaning disc (computer supply store or CD store), or it could be an irregular error in a laser, or tracking, or loose cable, or...
One way to eliminate any iTunes possibility is if it is consistently doing this with a particular CD then try an alternative ripping tool such as XLD or Max.

"Entitlements are not valid" error message when trying to sync ipa file from iTunes to iPad

Is anyone else getting this error message, "Entitlements are not valid", when trying to sync .ipa file from iTunes to iPad?
The issue I'm having is getting the ipa file that was built by the 'Adobe Flash Packager for Iphone' installed into my iPad.
So, I have a swf file that works and was able to publish it into the Android Market. I then compiled and build the same flash project with the Packager for Iphone into an .ipa file. But when I try and install this .ipa file into my iPad to do my testings, i'm getting the error message.
I would like to test my ipa file in my iPad device before submitting it to the Apple Store.
Any help would be appreciated. thank you.

Developing for iphone can be amazingly complicated and frustrating. (even before you start coding). The process of having to create a Certificate, to approving the Certificate, to Assigning the deviceIDs to the certificate, to creating the AppIDs, to creating the provisioning profiles and then creating the .p12 file... is just too tedious.
I solved the problem of the "Entitlements are not valid". The AppID i had set in the iPhone Developer Portal did not match that of the AppID i had set in the Adobe Flash CS5 -> Publish Settings. (ie. com.yourdomainname.yourappname). After I re-entered my AppID and compile, i was able to sync the .ipa file into my ipad.
I wish the error message had been a little more descriptive. Could have saved me a whole day.
I hope this helps others. But my guess is, if you don't set the 40 character device ID correctly, or the email in the signingcertificate correctly, you'll get this same generic error message.

I get "Unknown Error." when trying to re-log into the iTunes Store for Windows

My AppleID and password work when using a web browser and logging in here, but not when i try to log in through iTunes for Windows.
My events leading up to the error are below. Any suggestions for a fix/solution?
1) "Unauthorized Computer" message when trying to play newly bought iTunes movie.
2) Authentication Failed using AppleID
3) Sign out completely
3a) Try to sign in, but get "Unknown Error."
4) Uninstalled iTunes
5) Reinstalled iTunes
6) Login attempt: Unknown Error
7) Tried deleting "SC Folder" from User Tips
8) Login attempt: Unknown Error
Any thoughts on what I could do differently to get this resolved?

How I solved my UNKNOWN ERROR login issue:
I figured out that I had downloaded the 32 bit version of ITunes but I have the 64 bit version of Windows 8. So I uninstalled the 32. and downloaded and installed the 64 bit version of ITunes and everything worked just fine. The Windows 8 firewall was not an issue.
How to determine your version of Win 8. Go to Control Panel, System & Security, then System and that screen shows the version.
I just brought home a new Toshiba laptop and was surprised to see that I have the 64 bit version. But pleased that I fixed the agrivating ITunes issue.
Good luck!

Error messages when trying to make selection

Hi, I am new at Photoshop, I use CS6, and today I followed a tutorial on how to make a robot on a picture and at first everything went ok but when I was almost done and tried to make a selection with the lasso tool I all of a sudden got an error message that says "Warning: No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selection edges will not be visible." And when I press OK my selection is not there. I had no problem when I started the project but now it won't work.
And now I get this error messages everytime I try to make a selection and it doesn't matter if I use the pen, marque or whatever.
Anyone here who knows what I'm doing wrong?
Best regards

Basically, what that warning message is telling you is that the "marching ants," will not be fully representative of your Selection.
Now, if you want to make a Selection, that includes 100% of the pixels, check the Lasso Options, to make sure that you do not have something like a large Feather, with a small Selection.
Good luck,
Hunt
