I have been receiving the error message ...'iTunes store is unable to process purchases at this time.  Please try again later"  over that  last month with increasing frequency.  What is the cause and solution?

Hello e-b p,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
When encountering iTunes Store connectivity issues, the following resources provide the best solutions. To isolate the issue further, I'd be curious to know if it persists on other Wi-Fi networks (assuming you are using a portable computer). Either way, please attempt the steps outlined in these articles:

  • The Mrs. and I are receiving "The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time. Please try again later." message whenever we try to update apps or purchase new apps. This is on two separate iPhone4's running 4.3.3

    I haven't updated the iOS this week because I'm still working on resolving a separate issue, syncing playlists back to iTunes from the iPhone after a Snow Leopard restore.
    FWIW-- The Mac Store on my MacBook also returns a similar error message when I try to update pixelmator and evernote. I get "The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time.  Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store. Please try to make your purchase later."
    After that error in the Mac Store, I immediately get the following error message: "We Could Not Complete Your Request.  There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)"

    Try contacting iTunes via email to check if there is an issue with the account. go to apple.com/support/itunes
    Click on iTunes Store account and billing and select inquiries. On the right side click on "email us".
    Before doing that trying viewing your account information first. Open the iTunes on you mac, look at the menu and select store and select view my account. Try removing the card (this is only applicable if you don't have a pending charges with iTunes) and hit done. Sign out, quit iTunes and sign back in and try updating the apps again.

  • The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time.

    Trying to buy a Season Pass to a show and all I get is the error "The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time. Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store. Please try to make your purchase later."
    This has been going on for the last 6 and a half hours.
    Anyone else having probs? The system status page shows no problems...

    Try it on the computer in iTunes. I've been having this problem for a few days on my iPad. When I logged in on the computer it said something about having a billing issues and I had to log in and reverify my info. It said I had an almost $10 balance due which was weird, because I'm linked with Paypal and have plenty of money in there at all times. It keeps saying "your Paypal transaction was declined" which I can't even begin to figure out. I re-setup the Paypal payments and it works fine now. Everything is sorted out. I wonder if a payment agreement as they call it, expires after so long and has to be re-verified?

  • My Apple TV keeps saying The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time

    WHy does my Apple TV keep telling me that the iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time when  I try to buy a movie

    Hello Johnson,
    It sounds like you are trying to make purchases on your AppleTV but are being met with this error message. I would start by restarting the Apple TV with this process:
    Apple TV: How to restart your Apple TV
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3180
    Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
    If the issue persists sign out of the iTunes Store, then restart it again, and test the issue.
    From the main Apple TV menu, choose Settings > iTunes Store.

  • The itunes music store is unable to process purchases at this time.

    Any body getting this message b/c it is really frustrating when i want to buy mausic and this message pops up. everything is current and up2date. i got an e-mail from i-tunes telling me that the problem has been fixed, so i went to buy some songs today and the message came up again. what 2 do? "The itunes music store is unable to process purchases at this time. Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable."

    I have the same problem, too. I was using paypal, but switched my account from paypal to mastercard, still no go. I can't believe there is no phone or web chat help from apple. Hope they choke to death on their iPod Nano profits. HIRE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR CURRENT, PAYING CUSTOMERS. There are alternatives out there...

  • HT1689 How do I resolve error message "Cannot connect to iTunes at this time, please try again later"

    When I try to update my Credit Card information in the app store and submit, I get a message, "cannot connect to iTunes, try again later" and "iTunes is unable to process your request, try again later" My billing info IS CORRECT.

    Unpower it.  If it still  happens on a restart give it time - Apple's servers sometimes have glitches.

  • The iTunes Sore is unable to process purchases at this time

    I've been trying to purchase a song for almost a week now and keep getting the subject message. In addition the message says ...
    Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store. Please make your purchase later.
    Please respond if you are also having this problem and know of a solution.

    Since the stock market is not open today, I hardly doubt this is true that stock is dropping. Further, as of Thursday, shares were up by 6.6%. Apple's quarterly earnings just reported were up 27%. All indicators say that Apple is doing just fine.
    People need to keep in mind that there are bound to be bugs in any new release of just about anything these days (except maybe a Mac -- my daughter has an iBook and we've never had a bit of trouble with it). Look at your computer -- bugs are precisely why we have service packs as add-ons to Windows. I remember older versions of Windows that were chock-full of issues.
    It is the weekend, and while I am sure there are Apple staff out and about, this is just how it goes. Try to reauthorize your computer through the Store menu in iTunes and that may very well solve your connectivity issue.
    Hang in there!

  • Is anyone getting "unable to process purchases at this time" messages?

    For almost a week now i've not been able to buy anything on itunes, including the ipod touch upgrade and it's incredibly frustrating. Every time i try to buy something it says
    "The iTunes store is unable to process purchases at this time. Payment processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store. Please try to make your purchase later."
    Can anyone help? Can i fix it myself or is it a problem at Apple's end?

    I'm getting rather narked at the term 'temporarily' in the error messages since it's been the case since 5pm on Tuesday..
    Phoned the AppleCare helpline on Wednesday, they suggested deleting iTunes from my machine then reinstalling, which I'm extremely loath to do..
    Took laptop into Apple Store in Glasgow, they couldn't suggest anything other than very heavy traffic on the server from people downloading the iTouch and iPhone upgrades. I guess patience is a virtue, but it would be at the very least polite of Apple to flag up the heavy traffic so customers don't waste time thinking the problem is with their own devices..
    Grr..

    When starting a rental movie, I get the message: "An error occured loading this content, please try again later". Any ideas how to solve this issue?

    Firstly, I should have typed speedtest.net previously.
    Now that's an interesting comment you make, out of interest do you have any purchased HD movies in your iTunes collection, if so, do they play on the Apple TV with your new tv.
