Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this!

Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this! Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to fix it? Thanks!

Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
- Close iTunes, if it's open
- Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
- Select 'Security' on the top
- Untick all the security options in the menu
- Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
- Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
- Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
- You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
- Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

When it comes to confirme=ing my details - it always tells me that my session has timed out even though I have gone through all the pages so quickly!!

I am trying to download an app from the App Store, but everytime I try is insist I answer 3 security questions. After I answer then I click done and it never fails to tell me that my session has timed out. EVERY TIME. Thus meaning I can't download anythin

It's driving me nuts and it happened before I downloaded iOS 6.. Someone please help.

SOmeone else posted a similar post. Check your settings to make sure your account hasn't disabled downloads/updates or restricked to a data amount/Wifi only, or secure Wifi, etc.
IMO you need to go to the Apple Store if none of what I typed is helpful.
Hope this helps you.....I assume your phone is not jail broken.

It is asking to verify your info. Select None for the credit card.

Try doing it on your computer with iTunes and then sync to your iPad to see if it clears the problem.

ITunes store keeps saying that my session has timed out when trying to buy a product from the store

I Tunes is telling me that my session has timed out when trying to buy a gift voucher, which i have done many times before.
The most recent change i'v made to my computer before this happened was to download an update (MacOSX updatecombo 10.7.3dmg)
a couple of weeks ago. I'v turned off the firewall as suggested whilst trying to transact and turned it back on again, but don't know
what else to try. The problem is three days old as i left and came back to it to see if there might be a glitch in the system.
I'v been able to access the credit i have in the store, but not buy the itunes voucher to email to my own a/c. Please help someone if you can
Sandystone.

Thanks for your suggestion Ned01, I tried this as a last ditch attempt, unfortunatly it made no difference in my case, but i'm pleased it did for you. However, because you reminded me to have another go at this problem, i tried something else (which i'd unsucsessfuly tried before), that is, i deleted the 'CLICK & SAVE " a/c i'd set up recently, and reverted to my previous payment me and would you know it , this time it worked !! I set up a trail purchase and it worked.
It seems to me that other poeple with this problem have to solve it by trail and error, but thank you for your help.Sandystone..

HT2736 I'm trying to send a tune as a gift but, every time I fill out the info, and press "continue", I get a message that my session has "timed out".

Well, first, why are you running such ancient versions of Firefox as 3.6? i would immediately update to Firefox 15.0.1 as Firefox 3.6.28 is no longer supported and is critically insecure.
As for the dreamweaver thing, I'm not sure this is a Firefox issue, so I'd check again after updating Firefox.

Purchased Direct Access from iTunes. I cannot locate the download and I cannot download it a second time. Any ideas as to where the original download might reside?

Hi rogerfrommilwaukee,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
Previous purchases can be located in the Purchased section of either your iOS device or in iTunes on a computer. The purchases will be available to re-download as long as they are still available in the App Store and you are using the same Apple ID. Please use the attached article as a reference.
Download past purchases
Cheers,

ITunes keeps asking for my password, and every time I go to look at my account info it says my session has timed out?

I'm trying to change my payment information, yet everyime it asks for my password, I'll enter it but it just keeps asking? And when it finally gets through and I click on payment information, it says my session has timed out. How can I fix this? I've tried to do it on multiple devices but it's happening on all of them.

You might want to double-check that you are trying to open the document with the latest version of Numbers that is in your main Applications folder, not the old version that is in a subfolder named iWork '09 or Numbers '09. Instead of just clicking the document, you could open the latest version of Numbers and then File > Open. Or you could "right-click> Open With ... and choose Numbers.app (3.5.2).

HT201303 Trying to put credit card details in put it keeps telling me that my session has timed out

Have an existing apple account and now have bought new iPad
Trying to buy new apps on existing account so it asks me to verify payment details which I do straight away.
