Itunes Could Not complete the music store request, the store may be busy,

I get the error "Could Not complete the music store request, the store may be busy, check your internet connection or try again later." I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have complete firewall access to it and I have no clue what is wrong with it. It used to always work but it hasn't worked at all in the last several months.

hi miles4!
Could Not complete the music store request
are you getting an error message number with that message? (i was thinking that the message itself looked a bit like the message that comes with the -50.)

  • We could not complete your Music Store request.  There is not enough memory

    I have been using iTunes successfully on my PC, Mac Mini and MacBook Pro. I upgraded to the latest iTunes on my MacBook and Mini and then bought an album. iTunes on my MacBook asked me to authorize the computer (which it was already, weird). When I tried to do this, I got the following error:
    We could not complete your Music Store request. There is not enough memory available.
    There was an error in the Music Store. Please try again later.
    Every time I try to authorize after getting this message, my authorization number goes down from 5 to 0. What gives? This was working yesterday.

    I have this same problem. It's like it is not Authorizing this Mac.
    What happens when you try to listen to a preview on the Music Store?
    Mine asks me to authorize again and gives me the error exactly as you said above.
    What happens when you try to view your account information (in Music Store, click on your account name in the top right corner)?
    Mine lets me authorize sucessfully and shows me my account information.
    I have emailed iTunes support about this and they replied with a generic answer about Deauthorizing and re-authorizing the computer.
    I even tried, to no avail, the tips here...

  • ITunes could not connect to Music Store

    Okay here's my problem: When I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, it wouldn't open after the download was complete. So I went into the discussion about iTunes not opening and found this msconfig thing that you could do in order to make your computer start up differently. It told me to go to Start, click on Run. Then type in msconfig and hit enter. And after that I needed to change the startup selection to 'selective startup' and deselect 'load startup items'. Then I was supposed to go to the Startup tab and select only qttask and iTunesHelper. Next it told me to go to the Services tab and make sure that 'Hide all Microsoft Services' was selected. And Disable All. Then it told me to select iPodService. Then click okay and restart my computer. Now after I did all of this, iTunes opened. But when I tried to play my purchased music it gave me a message that said 'This computer is not authorized to play '_' (it said the name of the song here). Would you like to authorize it?'. And below there it had a space for me to type in my password, but my Apple ID was already typed in for me. So I did it correctly and typed in my password and clicked on Authorize....then I got an error message that said 'iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was refused'. I just figured that I typed in my password wrong and clicked on the purchased song again but this time I clicked on forgot password, but then got the same error message. It's been a difficult for the past few weeks not being able to listen to my favorite music. Could someone please help me, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now. I tried calling Apple Support, but since you are only able to use it for 90 days, they wouldn't help me. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

    Hi, I get the same error when I try to connect to Music Store or even get the songs info from my original Cd's, like song info and album art, it shows:
    iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was refused.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.
    I did try everything, I checked the windows firewall, the antivirus program's firewall, the LAN's router configuration and in all of them Itunes and all the Ipod related programs have permission but it still can not connect to the music store. Is there any way to solve this?
    Thank you

  • ERROR MESSAGE 401 - ITUNES COULD NOT CONNECT TO MUSIC STORE

    I've rencently tried to download some tunes from the Music store but keep getting this error message:
    "ITUNES COULD NOT CONNECT TO THE MUSIC STORE - AN UNKNOWN ERROR OCCURED (401)"
    "MAKE SURE YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION IS ACTIVE & TRY AGAIN"
    This message happened before I downloaded the latest version ofITunes & is still happening after the download!
    I've checked all possible settings & everything is fine
    What is going on????

    Problems connecting to the iTunes Music Store usually stem from issues with the Windows firewall, a privacy filter (such as Mcafee) or a download accelerator. Start here:
    iTunes for Windows: Overview of Music Store Errors
    for some basic tips to start isolating the cause of the problem. Your ISP (or your network administrators if you're on a company network) may have also changed something that is now blocking access.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes could not connect to Music Store. The network connection was reset.

    For 3 days now i've been unable to connect to iTunes music store, every time with the same error message (above). Yes I'm connected to the internet, no I do not have this problem with any other software/site.
    I miss my music ;(

    Ok, this is an update and then I'm going off to bed, so if anyone has any bright ideas I will see them first thing.
    I now wonder if limewire may be the problem, even though it is 'listening' currently on port 33782 which is nowhere near to iTunes or anything else for OS X. Why? Because up until today, I could only connect to limewire during the daytime - evenings and weekends it wouldn't connect and discussion forums suggest that tiscali (my ISP) is one of the worst offenders for blocking UDP traffic at peak times and may be specifically targeting limewire. Today, when I have had the problem with iTunes Music Store, I have been able to connect to limewire all day and all evening, no problems.
    However the problem with this theory is that when I could connect previously to limewire only during the day, I could still connect to the Music Store as well at the same time. So it may be irrelevant.
    I have checked everything else from the article - the discussion boards, keychain access, firewall, it all checks out. So if anyone has any ideas about this, I'd be very happy.

  • ITunes could not connect to music store. An Unknown error has occurred.

    I get the above message when I try to log into the ITune store. The error code that I get is -9813. My password is current and my account is current and I followed all of the other suggestions such as:
    1. Resetting the date and clock on the computer.
    2. I replaced the mother board battery so I won't be affected by the above problem.
    3. Unplug the modem and the router then start the computer back up to make sure that there are no problems with these two items.
    4. I am running the latest version of iTunes 6.0.5
    5. I can log in from another MAC (power book) using my account so it isn't the ISP blocking me from phobos.apple.com
    So far this has been happening for a few days and is very frustrating. Any ideas will be appreciated. I will also check with the Genius bar at the local apple store to see if they have any ideas.

  • "Could not complete the iTunes store request..."

    I'm having the same TYPE of issues everyone else seems to be having, but with this message:
    "Could not complete the iTunes store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later"
    and it ONLY occurs at:
    1) iTunes HOME page
    2) Browsing Music Videos
    all other iTunes pages work. What is going on? I thought Apple beat Microsoft when it came to usability, but this really stinks! I've run diagnostics and iTunes has NO problem seeing that I have a working internet connection!
    Anyone else have this exact problem and have suggestions?

    I am getting this excact same error message, except for me no page will load except for the Account Settings page. I've tried nearly everything short of reformatting, I have the latest version of iTunes, I used the Repair Disk Permissions tool, verified my KeyChain, checked my firewalls.
    However, I have found a detour around this problem. If you use the Browse feature (the little eye icon next to the Eject botton) when the iTunes tab is open, you can find artists, however, the Popularity ratings don't seem to work

  • Error - Could not complete the music store request, the store may be busy .

    I get the error "Could not complete the music store request, the store may be busy, check your internet connection or try again later." I have uninstalled and reinstalled,Tried on and off with the firewall, tossed the prefs, tried older and latest versions. It used to work but it hasn't worked in the last few days.
      Windows XP Pro  

    I found the problem to the iTunes Music Store connectivity. When iTunes version 6 is installed, it places a configuration / preferences file in the following location:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref"
    This file contains several very large keys:
    Preferences:129= (41,826 characters in length)
    Music Store= (1,722 Characters in length)
    Somewhere in these keys is stored are references to userid's, connections or other TCP/IP / internet connectivity objects that are being used when iTunes is installed. By deleting this file, these old setting appear to be cleared out.
    In my case, one or more of the keys in this file appear to have been storing a property from my old dial-up ISP connection that was no longer valid for my new, Comcast cable modem connection.
    Once I deleted this file, and re-started iTunes, it was as if I had never run the software before. I bypassed the option for searching for and importing .mp4's from My Music, and Itunes opened correctly, with full access to the music store. My library and playlists were intact and all is well.
    Apple should re-write the protion of iTunes codes that stores anything pertaning to an internet connection that may change over time. Alternatively, iTunes should either A) Prompt for this information B) Enable user access to this parameter in a settings dialog C) Access this information dynamically at runtime.

  • Unable to activate :: Could not complete the iTunes Store Request?

    Just got my iPhone and i can't activate it.
    The error in iTunes is "Could not complete the iTunes Store request. The store may be busy".
    It's been like this for an hour. Is the store down or are there firewall ports i need to open?
    edit: I was able to download the iPhone firmware upgrade, but still unable to activate.

    Figured it out. You have to turn off any Webservers on port 80 and restart iTunes. Then it will work.

  • Could not complete the itunes store request. the store may be busy check ..

    I am trying to activate an Iphone (UK) and get the message:-
    could not complete the itunes store request. the store may be busy check your internet connection.
    No matter what I do, turn the firewall off, allow cookies...
    Can anyone help?????????????? I've being trying for hours

    Are you using a USB hub? If so, try connecting directly to the USB port. This may help. Also, make sure you've got a USB 2.0 and not 1.1. If none of this helps, try reinstalling iTunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Activation Error: Could not complete the iTunes... (help!)

    Activation Error: "Could not complete the iTunes Store request. The store may be busy. Check your Internet connection or try again later"
    Ok that is the error I get every time I set my new iPhone in the dock.
    Details:
    I bought the 8GB iPhone at the Kenwood Mall in Cincinnati OH, brought it home installed version 7.3 of iTunes, plugged in the dock and the iPhone, I went through the activation process and after agreeing to all the terms and licenses, the iPhone said "activated," but iTunes was still trying to connect to AT&T for something and eventually timed out. I remove the iPhone and it seems to sync and all features seem to work fine including making and receiving calls. BUT... everytime I place the iPhone in the dock, I get the above error. I click OK and every works fine. This happens everytime I place the iPhone in dock. How do I get rid of it??? Is there still something else that needs to be done on my account. BTW, my Internet is working fine, as I am typing this message via my Internet connection in IE on apple's site.
    Thanks

    I bought the 8GB model, only had a 45 minute wait in line at ATT store. Performed activation via iTunes over 10 hours ago with porting of old T-mobile number. Still receiving message that activation is not completed. Called ATT and after 3 transfers, 35 minute hold times and then a recorded message that "due to extremely high call volumes" we will not be able to answer your call" it then proceeds to disconnect you. Finally kept trying and talked with ATT rep. in portability and they confirmed my porting has been approved but that my account still shows iPhone not registered. They then provided 877-800-3701 for problems with iPhone activation. After speaking with this representative, he would not work with me until I provided Web Order #. I told him that I purchased the phone in person at store, so he said that I would need to contact the store to obtain this number and without this number they could not verify that I had the phone and therefore it couldn't be activated. I called the store and left message. A store rep. called me back and told me that I would need to contact that same 877 number as they could not support me. ***!! To make matters worse, my old phone is now been ported and deactivated so I am phone-less and have a iPhone sitting in the dock that is completely useless. I am very disgusted at this point and don't know what to do. I was not expecting such an awful customer experience with an Apple product. Anyone have any thoughts? I drove by the AT&T store and there is a huge line of buyers, so I am not sure what to do at this point.
