Is it just me, or is the iTunes Store slowing down?

Seriously. Does anyone else notice that download speeds are getting slower? I do...

I just bought all of the season of Psych since all the HD seasons are on sale for $16 including the current season. Downloading the first episode alone which is just under 2GB i going to take 89 minutes today
Again it's Sunday though, most likely a high volume day for iTunes so slow speeds are going to happen.

I cannot play a movie I just recently downloaded from the iTunes store

I cannot play a movie I just recently downloaded from the iTunes store

I purchased an album from the iTunes store VIA the wish list Purchase option.
The 2 albums and 3 songs were purchased. However, one of my songs was stuck in the "Computer is not authorized / Already Authorized" loop. Where it asks me to authorize a song, but then says the computer is already authorized and doesn't play the song.
I noticed looking at "Get Info" there were two key differences.
The songs that were valid and would play have:
Kind: Purchased AAC audio file
Purchased by: **********
Account Name: *****@gmail.com
The one song that would NOT play and caused the authorization loop has:
Kind: AAC audio file
Purchased by: <this field was NOT PRESENT like it was on the other files>
Account Name: *****@gmail.com
(**** = redacted, however the two Account Name fields were identical)
As you can see, the Account name match, but the "Purchased By" field is missing and the Kind is not marked as "purchased".
THIS IS A BUG. As the entire album was bought under the same method, same time, and same account, yet, one file is improperly tagged, and does not play. The trouble file was found in iTunes store, added to Wish list, and purchased in the same session, no other log-off, shutdown, or iTunes restart to cause a selection of anouther account name.
This leads me to believe that iTunes is not properly tagging a file after it is downloaded that it has been purchased, thus, causing the loop.
Apple can't blame anyone else here, as only apple hardware and software were involved in this. MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6. iTunes 10.7 (21)

Is the itunes store currently down for anyone else?

I currently cannot activate my phone because the itunes store cannot be accessed. Is anyone else having this problem?

The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download iOS7 at the same time.
There is a chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day.

I purchased a song from the itunes store and down loaded it to my ipod. The song will not play. I attempted to listen to it on my computer and itunes asked me to authorize my computer. I did so and it told me I authorized one out of five computers .

I purchased a song from the itunes store and downloaded it to my ipod and it will not play what happens now?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Is the itunes store still down?

It seems like I cannot connect my Ipad2 to the Itunes store..thus not allowing me to set up my Ipad

ITunes Store slow down

Hello everyone,
For about the past week the iTunes store has been very, very slow, sometimes taking five minutes to load a search query. I have not noticed slowdown with my wireless network––that is running as fast as ever––but the iTunes slowdown continues to persist. I do not want to buy songs and risk waiting hours and hours to download.
My version of iTunes is 7.0.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
benlen

Please pardon me if the answer is right in front of my face on the screen.
When there appears to be a widespread, lots-of-people-posting issue (like a persistent slowdown of the iTunes Store or iTunes Search capability), is there a place to look around here for some sort of official Apple response?
Even Earthlink eventually posts a response when they're having a regional or system-wide problem ... and I pretty much hate their not-in-North-America customer service/support. Unless heck freezes over and I can get the gun-chewing, Jolt Cola-drinking computer guy in New Jersey who KNOWS what I'm talking about and doesn't work from a script!
So, does Apple eventually tally up a bunch of complaints/concerns and, at some point, decide to provide an explanation? Or do we just wade through a boatload of Apple Discussions posts about essentially the same thing, hoping to accidently stumble across an answer?
Sorry if I sound cranky. It may just be that my own ignorance is decidely NOT bliss.

What happend to "just for you" in the iTunes Store?

This may be a stupid question...but I just downloaded the update (iTunes 9) and can't seam to figure out how to find the "Just For You" catagory. It used the Genius info from my library to find new music that I may enjoy. I LOVE that feture and purchase a good bit of my music that way. I'm sure it has to be there....if not iTunes will slow my pruchase rate big time.

I answered the question myself not one minute after I posted. I was looking from the "Home" page of the Store...once I clicked on the "music" tab..there it was...maybe this was on the homepage before?

There is no "Deauthorize all computers" from the iTunes store drop down menu (12.0.1.26 latest version)

Just purchased a new iMac and somehow all of my licenses are consumed between existing/old computers and I am not allowed to synch my iTunes library using Match. Looking at the on-line help provides guidance to choose a "deauthorize all computers" option from the Store drop down in iTunes but I only have these options:
Obviously, I need to figure out how to do this and then reauthorize from each of my 5 machines. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I can't access the itunes store on both of my computers.

I cannot access the itunes store on either of my computers. I can access my itunes music library however. One computer uses Windows 7, the other XP. The "accessing progression bar" freezes at about 50% and I get a white screen that just says "itunes store." I have tried unistalling itunes, quicktime and safari, and then reinstalling them. I have itunes 10.5 installed now. I just can't get the itunes store to load. Why would this happen on both of my computers?

How to get iTunes Store to Work with Windows 7
First, Remove all iTunes and supporting software – and all “remnants” using Revo Uninstaller. Ensure you set Revo Uninstaller on its “Advanced” setting.   You should be able to download a Revo trial software version at no cost. Recommend one follow the directions posted at this website:   http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
The goal/intent of these directions/procedures is to ensure complete removal of all iTunes and its supporting software. Make sure you get all of it, or you will end up repeating this lengthy procedure.
Next, before reinstalling iTunes:
Start-> Programs -> Accessories -> (Right Click On Command Prompt) ->Run the Command Prompt as Administrator then type in:
netsh winsock reset, hit enter, restart PC.
After this procedure, then reload the latest version of iTunes Software and see if you can access the iTunes Store.
If the iTunes Store does not open or completely open after installation, then run this procedure:
Start-> Programs -> Accessories -> (Right Click On Command Prompt) ->Run the Command Prompt as Administrator then type in:
netsh winsock reset, hit enter, restart PC, open iTunes… then open iTunes Store (yes, this is a repeat of the command line you ran prior to installation).
After this procedure, you may find the iTunes Store’s “initial page” will open. However, you may not be able to access any music within the iTunes store…   Ensure you are logged in with your name and password…
Once you know you are logged in with your name and password, then:
On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return on the keyboard.
You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
But wait, there’s more! Now you need to go to the “Edit Button” of iTunes and select “Parental”.   Under “Parental”, check “Allow access to iTunes u” and then ensure iTunes Store is “unchecked”, then press “OK” to ensure this configuration “takes”. Then, stop and restart iTunes. You should now have a smooth running version of iTunes with full access to the iTunes store. If not, then please modify these directions for those requiring a solid solution. Thanks

How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes? It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync. I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

When I click review i then clicked continue and everytime that I agree to the terms and policies on the second page it just sends me back to the top of the page and doesnt allow me to go any farther in the itunes store process any idea of how to get this to work?

Have you done as the message tells you and contacted iTunes Support ? If not (these are user-to-user forums) :
- go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
- click on your country's flag
- click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column

HT4913 when i try to look at music at the itunes store i just get a blank white screen

i log in then press itunes store it processes then i just get a blank white screen. no music to look at or download

If you're seeing a blank iTunes Store, see this support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
If that does't help, try resetting Winsock. This has solved the problem for some people, at least.
1) Click on your start menu.
2) Go to accessories
3) Run the Command Prompt application. For those with Vista or Windows 7, right click on Comman Prompt and choose "run as administrator".
4) Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
5) hit Enter and it should say something like Winsock reset successful.
6) Reboot your computer and try the iTunes Store again.
Regards.
