I'm sure you are aware Apple recommends backing up your iTunes purchases  >  How to back up your media in iTunes
When you post for help, it would help to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thank you !

    Hi,
    Thanks for your suggestion. I tried to "reset" the device, but it was still no go.
    Thanks & regards.

  • Cannot access the iTunes music store.

    Is there a block on iTunes music store when you have a Polish address for your iTunes account? Since changing my address to a Polish one, I can no longer access the music store, only the software applications.

    I have not been able to assess Itunes for many months - or the online software update function either. I noticed an Internet Explorer logo pops up every time I launch either function (software update or Itunes music store), then it shows the bar download at 1/3rd, where it stays until I get the timed-out message.
    I went to update Explorer (in case that was the problem) and Microsoft says it stopped supporting Mac in 2005!
    Is that the problem? Is Mac still using a Microsoft browser to access their updates and store, when Microsoft doesn't even support Mac anymore? I suspect so, or else why does the Explorer logo always show up?
    I expect Apple is losing a lot of Itunes sales because of this. It appears I am not the only one having this ongoing problem.
    Will upgrading my OS help. or will I get the same Explorer logo?

  • Can I access the I Tunes Store on different computers using my settings?

    I see that I can't download apps etc. Unless I'm connected to a computer and wonder if I can use my settings and go on someone elses computer to download apps?

    Oh my. You need to start doing a little manual reading with your iPad. You download apps directly to your iPad by using the App Store app that comes with it. You need to sign into your iTunes store account (you need to be online, obviously). Sign in under "Account" at the bottom of the "Featured" screen. Any apps you've purchased elsewhere will be available for free download this way on your iPad as long as you purchased them using the same account you log into the store with here. And yes, the only way you can get applications onto your iPad is this way or by syncing to a computer where you bought them through iTunes.

  • HT201272 When a song is purchased from the I-Tunes store, is it essentially "recorded" onto your i-pod, or only "rented" when you are able to access wi-fi and the I-tunes app?

    When a song is purchased from the I-tunes store (and we used a gift card to do so), is it "recorded" to your device (an i-pod, in this case) and you own that copy, or is it just "rented" for your listening when you are able to access the I-tunes app (and therefore need wi-fi).???

    I thought the same thing, however, our son did not have access to Wi-Fi in the car earlier and said that he could not listen to his song because he couldn't access the I-Tunes Store--? Then once we were in a location with Wi-Fi again and he could get to it, he was able to listen to the song...? We are new to all this and not sure that we "did it right" in the first place.  Thanks for your help!

  • Error message -3221 - Could not connect to the I-Tunes Store

    I last accessed the I-Tunes store on November 3, 2007 with no problems. The last week of November I received the following error message. "I-Tunes could not connect to the I-Tunes store. An unknown error has occurred (-3221)." I have the latest version of I-Tunes (7.4.3.1). I cleared my DNS server and am sure I-Tunes isn't blocked in my firewall. In fact, I followed all the suggestions given on the I-Tunes diagnostic website. I cannot find any mention of anyone else that has received this particular message. Can anyone help me????

    Macafee security center is the culprit.
    Open Macafee then: select;
    Internet & Network > configure
    Firewall > Advanced
    Programm Permissions > scroll down to Itunes
    Highlight (click on)
    Then Grant full access to Itunes.
    APPLY then OK
    When you select store from Itunes you will need to register with Itunes

  • My connection to the I Tunes store is incomplete

    I can access the I Tunes Store but my connection is incomplete.The Home Page does not display and when I try to do a search it is unsucessful.

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed, you can download it here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you still see the problem after updating iTunes, this Apple document is a good place to start -> iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshooting

    Any ideas?

    Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store.  Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

  • I cannot connect to I tunes store using I tune 11.1 I get the error 0x80092013 "secure link to I tunes store failed" does anyone know what this is?

    I cannot connect to the I tunes store after recently downloading I tunes 11.1 I just get the error code 0x80092013 so not sure what to do. I have tried deleting and then reinstalling I tunes with no luck. I tried to flush my DNS but that did not work, I tried the diagnostics in I tunes and it told me my connections were fine but said the "secure link to I tunes store failed" Looking for an answer thanks!

    Okay I was able to connect back to the I tunes store in I tunes 11.1 taking care of the error 0x80092013. I did this in XP going to the firewall controls, selecting the exception tab. I tunes was already in the exceptions tab but I deleted it anyway, then I added I tunes back using the Add Program button then browsing to the I tunes.exe location in the C drive then selected that as the program. I tunes showed back up in the exceptions once again. I then shut down the computer and restarted it and I then had a connection with I tunes. So the I tunes in the exceptions tab in the firewall was not working I just replaced it with a fresh one.

  • I added Gmail to my iTunes store/account.  Now I cannot access the Store and after I enter my Apple Id password it tell me I need to verify my Gmail acct, press ok for details.  Once I press ok, the screen shows my Gmail address and underneath it states m

    I added Gmail to my iTunes store/account.   My gmail account is:  [email protected] and it shows up on the settings in iTunes, and my account.  The problem is I cannot access the store with this ID.  A response says:  You have not verified your ID, press ok to review instructions to verify your ID.
    Reply to this is:  An email has been sent to the address below with a link to verify your Apple ID.  Make sure to check your email and follow the link to complete the creation of your AppleID.

    Hi Michael,
    Yes it is now resolved but not after I send iTunes a request for help and explaining the problem.  They send a first reply explaining how I needed to verify my account and gave me the link to do that.  You and I know that this did not help, so I replied telling them that this was not working and iTunes did the reset for me.
    You may want to open a help ticket with iTunes help.  That is the only way it works.

  • IPhone no longer syncs with computer--"Cannot access the iTunes store"

    My iPhone 2G has decided to no longer sync with my iTunes. I do not have internet on my computer (I'm doing this on a friend's), so when I connect my iPhone to my computer, an error message pops up that says "Cannot access the iTunes store". Since my iPhone is normally synced manually, I can still drag new files onto it; however, any movies/podcasts on the iPhone keep reappearing even after I've deleted them (from the iPhone itself). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Delete then re-install iTunes & Delete the following files:
    The iTunes application (located in /Applications)
    com.apple.iTunes.plist (from ~/Library/Preferences)
    iTunes.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
    iTunesX.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
    then re-download the latest version of iTunes.

  • HT201209 Cannot access the iTunes Store in iTunes.

    Cannot access the iTunes Store.  I have downloaded iTunes 8, but still cannot access the iTunes Store.  It shows my Apple ID once I login, but no error message and no right-hand column (or anything) under the iTunes Store window.  Any ideas?

    This might provide some help.
    Can't connect to iTunes store
    It could be a firewall or security software confict that is preventing the connection so you could try disabling those and see if that helps.
    Restart/reboot your iPad and maybe that will help as well.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • HT204053 I cannot access the app store because it wants to access an @me Apple ID that no longer works. How do I eliminate this ID so I can access apps?aid

    I cannot access the app store because the iPad is requesting a password to an Apple ID that does not exist. The app store seems to be using an @me iCloud address as the Apple ID. This is not my ID or email addresses. How can this be changed to my Apple ID?

    Easy, just sign out then back in again.

  • TS1424 Cannot connect to the I tunes store, even though i have all ready an Apple ID and i have allready purchased many applications

    Cannot connect to the I tunes store eventhough i already have an Apple ID

    Depends. If you disable them just for a little while, and then reenable them, you should be okay. Contact the maker to see if you can disable any security software on a timer, and that will allow you to be protected when it turns itself back on.
