I need help! "Unable to check for purchases" for over a month!!!

I have been getting the same error message for over a month! Every time I try to check for purchases from the iTunes Store, I get a message saying: "Unable to check for purchases. The network connection timed out." I have 269 items waiting to be downloaded. I am SUPER frustrated, I contacted iTunes customer service twice now, the first time with no response and the second time the response I received didn't help any, I followed up to their answer, again with no response!! I really would like to download these items (most of which I paid for; some were free downloads...). I think this may have happened to me before when my computer crashed and I need to redownload everything from iTunes. I think there is just too many items to download all at once, but they won't even come up in my iTunes, so that I can download them a smaller number at a time! I also had a hard drive failure on my laptop about a week and a half ago (after this problem had already been occuring), and I'm pretty sure any of the items pending downloading that had already begun downloading and was stopped suddenly (a few; maybe a third of what is awaiting downloading...), those items' temporary files were deleted. Could this be causing a problem as well? I've read maybe trying to check for purchases at a less busy time of the day, really early in the morning, or really late at night...Will this work?? I've tried nearly 100 times repeatedly from 8-close to midnight since this has been occuring. I just want the items I paid for. I have been waiting for far too long. I've tried everything suggested and I don't know what else to do!!

First off, make sure Norton isn't blocking iTS access
Here are Norton directions

Secondly, you're the third or 4th person to post here that having hundreds of downloads cuases problems.
Contact iTS again, using the email they already sent. Don't start a new ticket.
Give them the URL of this topic, and ask them to reduce the number of items in your download queue. The magic number mentioned in the other thread was 69 downloads didn't cause a problem. (Apparently, 70 does)

The iPad 1 can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1. If you haven't upgraded to iOS 5.1.1, see the info below.
If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

Two different things
If you forgot the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

Need help Installing Flash player 10.3 for firefox. It stops at 50%

So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use." I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working. I even uninstall google chrome thinking it was the problem but I'm still having that problem so I really don't know what to do because now the only place Flash player is installed seems to be Google chrome that I had to redoawload, but everywhere else tells me that I need to install it.

Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my SL

Hi...Im in needs of help in my new OS Mac World.Had my Logic Pro 9(9.0.2) install in my Snow Leopard(10.6.3).Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my Snow Leopard.Just a real basic audio interface that works with my Macbook pro Specification.You're help will be much more appreciated..
Best Regards:RatzyMazzy

In any case I would suggest to get an audio interface which is *Core Audio* compatible. This means that you just need to plug it in and it will work with OS X’s integrated driver. I once had an M-Audio interface which needed its own driver and it had latency problems because of them. I am currently using the EDIROL FA-66 with 10.6.3 on my MacBook Pro. It still works flawlessly and has worked without problems in the past with 10.4 and 10.5, too. Here is how it looks like: http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=731
I have also heard good things about the FireWire interfaces from Presonus, like the FireBox.

This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
All the music is on an 2T external drive.

TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

Take it in to an Apple store or authorized service center for evaluation and possible replacement.

I plugged my iPad in to charge last night. I plugged it into the wall and I have never had any problems. I have had this iPad for a little over a month. This morning, when I went to look something up, it wasn't responding. It won't turn on, I get nothing on the screen, and if I plug it in to charge, to the wall or my computer, nothing happens. Has anyone else had this issue? I can't think of what else to try or what to do next.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help I suggest having a technician look at your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
