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.

  • 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.

  • When trying to purchase anything from itunes/appstore via clickandbuy safari cannot load last stage page...any solutions?

    I am trying to purchase apps from the app store. As the app store is declining everytime telling me my details are wrong after many attempts at re-entering and reloading the page, i decided to try the click and buy option which doesent seem to work either. The detail process is fine, its the final stage of verifying everything and loading to process the account/order? (not sure as havent got past that stage). Is anyone else having?had this problem and is there any solutions??

    iTunes 9 uses the Safari 4.0.3 interface to access the iTunes Store.
    If you don't have Safari 4.0.3 or higher on your computer, get it here: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    Be sure to choose the version for Tiger (OS 10.4.x).
    You can set Safari to accept cookies only from sites you visit (blocking third-party sites and advertisers) in the security tab of Safari preferences.
    BTW: The iPhone 3G requires Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later. Is your forum profile up to date?

  • Error message when trying to play music in  iTunes 8

    I just upgraded to iTunes 8.0.1.11. When I now try to play any music (except for iTunes store purchases), I get an error message that says...
    The song "x" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? Then shows the cancel and yes buttons.
    I never had a problem with iTunes upgrades before. I see all the songs in my library, but just can't play them. All the music was playable and worked fine before I upgraded to this version. The only thing different I did notice after installing this, was it made a new "previous iTunes library" folder dated the day the upgrade was done. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

    there is a temporary fix that seem to have worked for everyone who has tried it. it's on a different discussion thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15721591#15721591
    Basically if you run iTunes 10.4 in 32 bit mode the plugins will work!
