ITunes 6 and Music Store Library Browser

Did the upgrade to iTunes 6. So far so good until I accessed the Music Store. When I try to browse the Music Store using the library I get "Could not complete the Music Store request. the store may be busy. Check your internet connection and try again".
So, whats gone wrong with this then???

I upgraded to Version 6.0.1.3 a month or so ago. This is still the latest version as of today, 12/4/2005. Everything was fine until I upgraded from a dial-up ISP service to Comcast broadband.
Now I am getting the same error the you described and am completely unable to use the iTunes Music store.
Everything else on my PC works 100% fine with the upgrade. With iTunes, however I'm getting the message:
"Could not complete the Music Store Request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later."
I purchased the AppleCare Protection Plan for iPod with the thought that Apple support would be able to offer some assistance with problems such as this.
The support technician asked me to uninstall and re-install iTunes. This was not successful. He then said that that was all the assistance he could provide and suggested that I send an e-mail to iTunes Music Store support! What a joke. Is this the best support Apple can provide throught the AppleCare Protection Plan?
Today, I heard back from iTunes support. They merely sent me a link to their website and said that going through the steps outlined there should solve the problem. I had already tried these steps unsuccessfully including the following:
1) "Your copy of the iTunes application may be out of date." Check that the version is the most current: Yes, installed version is 6.0.1.3.
2) "You may need to reset your keychain." I am using a Windows 2000 SP4 system so this does not apply.
3) "You upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2." I am running Windows 2000, with Service Pack 4. There is no firewall included in this release of Windows, and I have no 3rd party firewall installed.
4) "You upgraded to a high-speed or wireless Internet connection." Recently I switched from a dial-up ISP to Comcast broadband access. I have no firewall software installed on my PC. I am also not using a router with this
system that could include a firewall. Symantec anti-virus, is running on this machine. It has been installed for over a year and I have had no problem connecting to the iTunes Music store with it running.
5) "You switched to a new ISP." I contacted Comcast technical support. It is their policy NOT to block any ports. I also use the same cable modem with my laptop from work to run database and software development tools that require ports not to be blocked and have had no problems. Therefore I believe their statement is true.
From what I'm hearing on this board, this is a common problem that Apple has not addressed. If anyone has any hotfixes for this iTunes defect, please let me know.

How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?

I just received an email receipt from Paypal showing a $12.99 purchase from iTunes. I almost NEVER purchase anything over around five dollars in the app or music store. Since PayPal does not show what this purchase was for, I have not received the receipt from Apple yet, and I cannot find anyway to look up online what this purchase was for....I need help to find out ASAP what this purchase was. If my account has been compromised or if I have been incorrectly charged for something, I would like to get the issue handled immediately. I do not want to install iTunes on my PC (nor should I have to for Pete's sake), but I cannot see anything recent at all in my app or music history on my iPad (not that I would ever purchase anything for $12.99 anyway...I just don't). Thanks in advance for any tips!

No.
If my account has been compromised
If you even think this may have happened, immediately change your password.

App Store and Music Store

When i upgraded my iPod to the latest software about 3 days ago. i noticed that when I accessed the app and music store, all the text had changed from the english language into an asian language. thats the only thing on the ipod that was wrong. the ipod settings show that the ipod is set to english so I dont see how this happened. Any ideas on how it changed and how to change it back?

Check that you are signed in to the USA store in iTunes on your computer. Go to the iTunes Store home page and scroll to the bottom where it says "My Store". Select the proper store and then sync your iPod. See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311

Some images won't load in Safari, iTunes, iBooks and App Store

Since my upgrade to Mavericks, some images on Safari, iTunes, iBooks and App Store wont load some times. I can't figure out the source of problem, but I've tested all four apps and the same problem exists across all of them; I've also tested Chrome, Firefox and Opera to see if they are suffering from the same problem, and surprisingly enough I've found that they are not; They load images perfectly well, and I've never encountered one to not load images. I'm totally confused and frustrated, what is preventing Apple products to load images? Here are some screenshots:

Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

Toggling Between iTunes Library and Music Store

Does anyone know if there's a way to toggle between the Music Store and the most recent view in your iTunes Library? For example, if my current Library view is of a particular Artist, then I go to the Music Store, when I return to the Library, the display defaults to All Genres, All Artists, All Albums.

Try double clicking the music store to open it in a new window. You can do the same for any playlists etc. In seperate windows, they won't affect one another.

ITunes very slow downloads of apps, podcasts, and music with library stored on a Windows Home Server (WHS)

First, some history. I setup a Windows Home Server (WHS) to store all my media. I had configured itunes to store its library at \\server\music (this would be whatever shared folder you choose to store your music on for your WHS (and possibly NAS box)) and itunes was managing my library. Once everything was imported into the server, I found I was getting horrible speeds for downloading apps, podcasts, and music. We are talking 10 minutes to download a 14Mb file on a Fibre connection where I consistently get 25 to 30Mb / second performance. Syncing my iPad / iPhones was a nightmare due to the time needed to be invested in it.
The server, the PC, the router and corresponding switches were all gigabit and yet I was getting dial-up speeds. Transfering files between systems was well within spec, but itunes was running as if it were using smoke signals. I spent some time searching various user groups and support sites to no avail.
To correct this, I only had to log onto the WHS (or NAS) and disable the iTunes Server.
Reboot of the server, reboot your iTunes PC, and you are good to go. My podcasts went from a 20 minute download time for an average episode of T.W.I.T. to about 7 to 10 seconds.

UPDATE
Please disregard the above. While the above did improve performance for a short time, the problem returned. I spent the next week running a full Spinrite on all 4 1TB HDDs that were in the NAS. All drives were fine. I then did some research on the individual drives, and it turns out that 3 of them were 7200RPM Hitachi's and the latest drive added was a 1TB Western Digital GREEN drive (WD10EADS). This was the source of the issue.
Additional information available at http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32179
I replaced the WD10EADS with another 7200RPM drive (seagate this time) and the NAS has been working flawlessly again (again, disregard the above post)

Access to ITunes Home Page and Music Stores in Other Countries

In the past two days, I haven't been able to access any
other ITunes music store except the US and only when I press
music and not the little house (home) symbol.
As I am an independent musician and my tracks sell on ITunes
in US and abroad, I've been checking on how my tracks,
particularly, Senza Fine, are doing in other countries
(which top songs are currently posted on my Itunes webpage).
But in two days I can't seem to access the home pages of
countries other than the US, and I'm wondering why the
"Could Not complete the Music Store Request--the Store
may be busy" BOX keeps coming up. My internet connections
seem fine.
Other than that, I think ITunes is the best. I'm also happy to see the Starbucks connection and availablity of dvd's.
Thank you for any input,
Elyse O
Custom made system Windows XP

I just fixed it, thanks to another poster's info. I had to
uninstall my old ITunes and 70.2 Quicktime and install the
new ITunes 7.0 with 7.1.1.3 Quicktime player. Now I have
access to all files, all countries.
Best,

Updated to itunes 6.0.4.2., and music store is acting strange. please help!

i just updated my itunes today, and now whenever i move the cursor over ANY clickable object, a translusent gray rectangle appears on top of it. i have SP2,and have tried changing mouse settings, rebooting the laptop, etc. nothing worked, and these gray rectangle make it very hard to read any text in the music store. please help!!

Well I understand your pain, but microsoft and everyone is SLOWLY switching to 64bit. Id say by the time Vista comes out in January 07 apple will have some basic support for 64 bit built into its program. Im not that mac savy but I believe the mac already operates on a 64 bit apple OS and Vista will support 64 bit so apple will have to switch iTUnes to it sooner or later on the PC side most likly in iTunes 7.0 but we will wait and see til then

Mac mini iTunes crashes when music store accessess anything but music

My Mac Mini crashes whenever I try to access anything but music from the iMusic store. I can play song previews fine. However, once I try to access video or podcasts, iMusic will crash. iMusic then continues to crash as soon as the music store is connected. If I remove my iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml files it reverts to the original symptoms.
iTunes always crashes at the same exact traceback statement,
here are the last few traceback lines:

ITunes movie and music sharing advice needed

OK, I need some adavice from some of you itunes experts out there.
First, let me explain my setup by going room to room.
Home Office: Airport Extreme, sitting next to an Intel Dial Core Mac Mini. Mac Mini has an external 1TB hard drive with my music and tons of movies.
Living room: Plasma flat screen. Will eventually have an appleTV or mac mini connected to it. Currently I use one of my two Macbooks to connect to the TV if I want to play a movie.
Bedroom: LCD flat screen TV. Like the living room, will eventually have an apple tv or a mac mini, but right now I use one of my laptops.
All computers are running OSX 10.5.8 and iTunes 9.
Here's what I want to do:
- I want to quickly browse my movies and music (movies more important) from any one of the TVs
- I would prefer to use a remote, like the Apple Remote or a programmable one from Logitech, to browse through the movies. With two kids under 5, the last thing I want in the living room is a wireless keyboard and mouse that they will easily destroy.
- I would like to browse the movies according to categories (comedy, drama, TV shows) instead of a big long alphabetical list (alphabetical lists are a pain when you have complete TV series collections like 24 or Curb Your Enthusiasm, shows that might have 100 episodes. Scrolling through them is a big PITA).
- I want to maintain a centralized library of my media, and not have copies of movies and music sitting on different computers. That's why I have it all on the Mac Mini in my office. This makes it easier for me to do a backup or to add movies I have ripped from my DVD collection somewhere else (copying 30 gb across wireless takes too long)
So far, Front Row has been a bit of a disappointment. Browsing a shared collection is klugy, and requires me to put an alias in the movie folder on each machine. BAlso I have not noticed any way to browse movies by their categories/genres.
So, what should I do? Will a product like Media Central, or Plex, do the trick? Or am I missing something about the new Home Sharing feature> When I tried Home Sharing, it COPIED the movie from one machine to another, it didn;t just create a link to it. Should I move the music/movie drive to the Airport Extreme, instead of having it connected to the Mac Mini?
Any advice folks? I would really really appreciate it.

right click the movie file, get info and 'options'. Apple have moved the drop down menu!

Moving itunes folder and music to external drive

I moved my itunes folder and all my mp3's onto an external hard drive. As a result, all of the songs that appear in itunes has a ! and says they cannot find where the songs are. It seems that I have to re-import everything all over again including re-ripping all my CD's to itunes again. Is there a better way to go about retrieving my library? Is there a way to import what is on my ipod into itunes or is it only a 1 way thing? Please help.

Go to edit-->preferences Click the advanced tab
Change the location of the iTunes music library to the current location. I don't recall if it will then update the links. If they still show up with the ! after the change, post back for instructions on how to tell iTunes they are there all at once.

Will changing location for Itunes Apps and Music files to different drive (from dive C: to drive E:)now effect how they work. And will Itunes be able to find them, when I do a sync?

Will changing the location of folders effect how my Itunes will run? As I am runnig out of room fast on my C drive. And have almost a 1 terrabyte of room on the drive I want it to all to go to. I was thinking of just cutting and pasting.

No, but do not simply move files around else you will have a lot of grief...
Do NOT move files then change iTunes prefs to a new location as this will not work.
Quit iTunes.
Copy your entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (and everything inside it) on your C: drive to the E: drive.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library and select the iTunes folder you copied to the E: drive.
That is all you need to do. You do not need to change any other settings.

HT204406 I authorized a second computer on my iTunes account, and downloaded my library from the Cloud to my new computer. However, many songs only partially downloaded, and now I'm having a hard time getting rid of them to do full downloads.

I authorized a second computer on my iTunes account and tried to get my first computer's library on my second computer via the Cloud. Many of the songs only partially downloaded, and I am having a hard time getting rid of the library with the partial downloads (so I can get full songs). I am considering nuking the current iTunes on the second computer and re-installing, giving myself a clean slate to work with. Is this the right way to go?
