Getting an error -208 when trying to buy music

When trying to listen to music in the music store, purchase music or listen to music that I have previously purchased I am requested to authorize my machine by typing in my username and password. (I have no problem listening to songs that were loaded from CD's.) I am then prompted that I have authorized 1 machine of 5 available. When I have closed this window I recieve the prompt "We could not complete request. Unknown error occurred (-208)."
What should I do?
Thanks for your help.

Whart does the message say?

After installing lion get an error -50 when trying to burn music to cd - hand no problem before lion

Is anyone else having this problem?? I always burn audio books/music to cd and have had no problems doing so UNTIL
I installed Lion. Now I keep getting an error message. It is error -50. This NEVER happened before. I'm very frustrated - -
I tried downloading the books into iTunes again, but still when I try to burn to CD, I get the error message... HELP!

Sorry that I'm not any help, but I got that same message when copying over a music CD and now, it's as if it doesn't read that a CD is in the drive...did you have this problem??
Good luck,
chris

Getting Error 9812 when trying to buy music from ITunes store

I want to buy one song from the ITunes Store. I am able to access the song, but when I push the "Buy Song' button, it says "Unable to access Itunes store - an unknown error occurred - 9812". I have tried to fix ITunes through the Control Panel - this did not help. I tried switching ethernet cords - this did not help. I am able to access the internet and receive email so I don't understand why I cannot access the store.

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.

Why am I getting this error message when trying to buy an album?

"Your credit balance is out of date. Click Ok to refresh, and try your purchase again."
I don't understand, my credits are from 2 prepaid cards I got for Christmas. Anybody know what's going on here? I'm trying to preorder the new Jack Johnson cd and it won't let me.

I'm having the same issue. Did you resolve it?

I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the pick a username screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists...." despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
"How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.

I also found this in another post
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)
