ITunes does not allow me to download at Store "You do not have authority to write in iTunes Media files. Adapt your authorisation in explorer and check for available downloads in Store

As administrator of my pc icannot download musc/video from Store: the message (translated from Dutch) "You do not have authority to write in iTunes Media files. Adjust your authorisation in explorer and check for available downloads in Store

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

  • Check for available downloads does not work HELP

    I had previously bought about 100 songs on my laptop, but we encountered a problem were my wireless network would not work. The support at HP wouldn't help us out unless we did a system restore first, so i lost all my stuff.
    when i installed itunes again after the restore, it gave me one song from the check for available downloads option, and it says all available purchases have been located. Also, when i try to download a song I already had before it recognizes that I already downloaded it and tells me to use the check for available downloads button, which obviously is not helping me.
    anyone else have this problem? I dont really wanna be out a hundred bucks...

    and * is wrong with you guys!
    The only people who participate here are we your fellow users, so please don't yell at us.
    your making music even more expensive! $1.29 for a song i could get for free! *?!
    It's the record companies who are controlling the pricing. They forced Apple to accept having more popular songs be more expensive as the price for allowing Apple to remove the copy protection. Rant at the record companies, little good though that will do.
    Look for a folder called "Downloads" in your iTunes Music folder. If there is such a folder, look for files that would be the partial download and delete those, so that the download starts over from the beginning. Then try again using the "Check for Available Downloads" command under the iTunes Store menu.
    If that doesn't work, contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their web page and explain the problem to them.
    Hope this helps. Next time, though, it would be better if you started your own topic rather than tagging onto someone else's thread.

  • I'm trying to download songs that was transferred via Carbonite, not getting message that states "Unable to check for available downloads, iTunes is temporally unavailable"

    I'm trying to download songs that was transferred via Carbonite, not getting message that states "Unable to check for available downloads, iTunes is temporally unavailable".  What do I do?  Any suggestions??

    Same problem, I have a season pass for Mad Men and suddenly cannot download, says iTunes is temporarily unavailable. Problem occurred before I updated to the new iTunes and afterwards, on two different computers. Here is what Apple had to say:
    "I have verified that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections, which indicates that the issue is related to your internet connection, local network, or your local computer itself. This article outlines some of the likely culprits:

    puchased music in itunes. but no file can be found. Have checked for available downloads but nothing available. Went to purchase again thinking i would not be charged again, but it warns me that i will actually be buying again and may have duplicates in library after purchase. Normaly after i purchase from itunes, it is a free download any time after, and on my other devices.
    Why can't itunes locate these files?

    It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of the important files and data on your computer.
    Use that backup to put everything back.

  • What does "check for available downloads" do?

    I bought some movies on my iPad while at work today.  I didn't have enough space on the iPad so I checked "later" when the option came up about downloading now or later.  When I got home, I saw that iTunes was showing the movie in my library with the cloud icon in the upper right corner, meaning that I own this movie but have not yet downloaded it.  I thought clicking on "check for available downloads" from the Store menu would locate the purchased movies and download them, but instead I get the message "all purchases have been downloaded for this apple ID" (see image below).  So I had to manually fish through the library and locate the purchased movies and click on the cloud icons to start them downloading.
    So if "check for available downloads" doesn't do what it sounds like it should, what is it for?
    I have the latest version of iTunes: 11.4.0.18

    I thought I'd bump my own thread since it's three months later and iTunes is now at version 12 and the "check for available downloads" still does nothing.  I am subscribed to a season pass of American Horror Story and every week I get an email saying that a new episode is available for download.  But when I launch iTunes and click on "check for available downloads", nothing happens.
    Que sera, sera.

  • I bought and was charged for some music.  It is not in check for available downloads or my purchased file.  However it shows up in recent purchases.  I just recovered from a problem and had to uninstall and reinstall.  Where could this purchase be?

    I bought and was charged for some music.  It is not in check for available downloads or the purchased file.  It does show up on my view my account recent purchases.  Where could this music be?  I recently recovered from an iTunes problem and had to uninstall and reinstall and finally manged to get everything back to work.  Except for this most recent purchase which just happens to be my son's band so I would really like to have it.

  • ITunes 9 - Error: Unable to check for available downloads - Grrrr

    I'm getting this frustrating error message while trying to download a digital booklet for Jay Z's Blueprint 3.
    Furthermore, it's not allowing me to download any new content. This is very frustrating.
    I'm getting the following message:
    Unable to check for available downloads. An unknown error occurred (1008).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I also have this same problem with iTunes 9 - I bought a song from the iTunes store successfully, but it hasn't downloaded. When I go to the "Store" menu and select "Check for available downloads" it works for a while and then gives me an error message saying:
    "*Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection timed out.*
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again."
    It seems that there are others experiencing the same problem, any help from Apple on this one would be greatly appreciated.
    I know my connection is working fine, and I can access the store with no problem - it just won't let me download stuff!

  • I can't seem to download anything on my iTunes when I use Check for available downloads. I have preorders that I can't download cos it just says 'iTunes store temporarily unavailable' even tho when I actually go on iTunes itself it work fine..

    I've been in contact with Apple support team regarding this issue. I have about 9 items available for download(preorders mostly) but it's not listed under download. When I click on Check for available download, a message with 'iTunes temporarily unavailable' appears but when I go to the iTunes store itself, its working just fine. I've already been charged twice for the same movie which Apple have kindly refunded me for one of them but I still haven't managed to download that movie yet. Apple says its a problem with my computer and given me all sort of ways to rectify the issue and still no hope. Everything else seems to work just fine including the actual iTunes store, wifi syncing and cable syncing etc. Can somebody help me with this if you know how to solve this problem or if you've had the same issue now or before?
    I am using the latest Software updates on my iTunes and these 9 items were purchased whilst on this new updates

    Launch iTunes on your computer.
    From the menu bar click iTunes > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.

  • HT1725 When I click on a Movie I get the following "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu." Then get err = 11111

    iTunes quit unexpectedly during the download of a movie.  When I click on that movie now I get the following message: "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu."
    I follow the instructions, but the download still doesn't resume - err = 11111
    Any advice?

    Yeah, I am going to blast my iPhone for the 4th time today and pray this goes away. I had 6 apps showing updates, the 6 badge icon shows on the App Store on my iPhone and, having run them all, the 6 apps have two copies each on my iPhone: one that is the old version of the app and will not run and the other is a faded version of the app with an empty progress bar on the icon. Click those and you get an error message about connecting to iTunes, etc. as described in the article I linked to above.
    It gets stranger than this. If I install a completely NEW app, the 6 that are stuck mid-update heal themselves and appear with the new version only, however now completely different apps (Hold Em for instance - which I did not update and didn't need an update) will not launch "app name Cannot Launch" message comes up.
    Agh!

  • Cannot check for available downloads nor download media from iTunes store.

    Here's what I can do: 1) I can access the internet. 2) I can access and purchase media from the iTunes store. 3) I can stream radio through iTunes. 4) I can download podcasts.
    Here's what I can't do: 1) I cannot check for available downloads. 2) I cannot download purchased media. I receive the following message in a pop up window. "Unable to Check for Available Downloads. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

    I have also removed my router out of the equation and connected directly to my cable modem so port forwarding is not an issue either. The only idea I have left is to call my ISP. Seems like a long shot. I know it is going to be something obvious.

    I just realized that I posted this in the wrong forum. If you are an administrator and want to move it, please feel free. Sorry.

  • Check for available downloads in the Store menu not working!

    I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen and use my it mainly for the applications, and that's where my problem is!
    Normally I click on Get updates on the apps I have already bought and they normally download for syncing with my iPod but for some reason they aren't. It says "x updates available" but when I click on them it comes up with a message like :-
    "You have already purchased this item but not downloaded. To download it, select Check for available downloads in the Store menu"
    Which I do. As soon as I click ok it comes up with a network connection timeout and the same when I click on Check for avaiable downloads - EVERY time! Done a diagnostic and network connection is ok and also can still buy stuff.
    All I want to do is update these apps, what's wrong???

    Contact itunes support.

  • Not the normal "unable to check for available downloads"

    This is my problem: I had my iTunes running for about a week now, during which i have purchased passes and music. These are the regular items that would be updated daily. The thing is i have not been able to get iTunes to get the updates(there have have been an outstanding of 10 of these) and i have not been able to download my music either... It's not a firewall problem because i still can download and receive podcast. I have check automatic settings as well as attempting manual updating, neither works providing "Unable to check for available downloads." I attempt downloading the updates through the email links... which shows that i have updates but when loaded the iTunes nothing happens. This is ongoing for the past 48+ hours.... Please help?

    I have the same problem, going on five days and 8 backed-up downloads.
    I contacted them and they have not been able to help me even though they've tried.
    I am pretty much 99% sure it's not my computer/internet/firewall that is the problem. I didn't change anything and this suddenly happened.
    msconfig showed no conflicts and diagnostics ran clean.
    I am very frustrated.
    I have checked elsewhere and one online forum said that a digital booklet might be holding up the queue. Have customer service delete it and reinstate it to the back of your queue. I don't think I have a booklet downloading (I'm really not sure) but I DO know SOMETHING is holding my DLs up. I'll edit this again to let you know if that was the problem. I just sent them another message.

  • "Check for available download" "itunes store unavailable"

    Every time I click on "Check For Available Downloads" A window pops up telling me to check back later because iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Though I can go in and buy stuff off iTunes still but I can't download it. My connections and everything are fine and I have run all my diagnostics and they've passed. This has been happening for months and nothing has worked. This isn't only happening on my Mac but also on my PC's.

    I know exactly what happened. You had an old download in your queue that wasn't fully downloaded that became unavailable. This same thing happened to me (no problem if i let things fully download in one sitting--just couldn't check for available downloads) and the apple techs could give me no answers for a very long time. Finally, one tech went in and analyzed all my purchased items and found I had some freebie tv show in my queue that I'd never allowed to fully download. It was no longer available and was causing an error. The program was removed from my queue and everything I'd lost for weeks immediately started downloading from the point I'd lost it. Write to iTunes help and SPECIFICALLY ASK them to check this, explaining that you've done everything else possible to try to fix it.
