ITunes Error - Album is being Modified (Northlane - "Discoveries")
Hi,
I've been trying to purchase the album by Northlane - "Discoveries", and it is coming up with the error that the album is being modified. I've searched for this issue on the forums here and understand its an iTumes/Apple issue. Can iTunes please resolve!
Thanks
D
I am experiencing the same issue with free and discounted apps. I have successfully purchased a few non-discounted, paid apps since this problem started. As tgroman mentioned, I am experiencing this issue across all of my devices (iPad, iPad 2, iTouch), so it is almost certainly an account related issue.
There is one other thing that I will mention that may or may not be related. Around the same time as I started noticing this issue, I had attempted to re-download a "previously purchased" free app (Ccmixter), but the download failed for some reason. Since then, most of the time when I update apps, I will get a message like "CCMixter could not be downloaded." Despite getting the message, the apps do update successfully.
The last time I got the message, it said something like "CCMixter and 7 other apps could not be downloaded." At that point, I had been able to download CCMixter, and it was actually installed when I got the message.

Updating Album Art, when iTunes says "Album Artwork Not Modifiable"
How can I go about updating or adding album art when the Artwork area at the lower left corner of iTunes says, "Album Artwork Not Modifiable"? Every effort to add the artwork from iTunes has failed. When I paste the album photo from another site, it doesn't save.
I figured this out. I found that the folder and files only had "read" privileges and not "read & write" privileges. I did the following:
1. In finder I right clicked the parent folder for iTunes and selected "Get Info".
2. Selected my user and changed the rights to "read & write".
3. This step is the most important. With my user still selected in blue, you click on the options "cog wheel" below the users, at the bottom. Select, "Apply to the enclosed items". It may ask you again if you are sure, say "yes". By doing this you will apply your users "read & write" privileges to all folders and files underneath your iTunes folder.
This worked for me and I wish you the best! -
When i open itunes, you just see the outline and then it says an error occured and closes. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling about 20 times. Whats gooooing ooooooonnnnnnnnnn?
hi Sinnful Dayz!
okay, i think we're still probably on the right
track. it's a little disconcerting that QT refused to
launch without an error message for you. but
when you did the standalone reinstall:
"Error Number: 0x80040707
Description: DLL function call crashed:
QTInstallCode.QuicktimeUnInstallProc
... in this context, that usually indicates a broken
existing QT where the QT installation configuration
information has been compromised in some way. so
we'll keep proceeding under the assumption that your
itunes error message is being caused by a
broken QT.
we'll try applying the standard tactic for getting
past the 0x80040707.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp
utility. use it to remove any existing
QuickTime installation configuration on the
PC:
Descrip
tion of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
... then use the QuickTime component of the
complete uninstall instructions in the following
document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover
QuickTime program files and folders:
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime
software in Windows
once we've scraped away all the old QT, let's try
another careful standalone QT reinstall.
does the QT reinstall go through okay this time? if
it does, does your itunes launch again?
love, b
Got this far with same exact problem, b, but I can't scrape away the old QT. I get a access denied error when I try to delete the QT folder, specifically the qttask.exe file. I also can't stop the process in the Task Manager, same reason.
I am logged in as the admin, I can't think of anything else?! -
Album downloads do not work - Error "Content Being Modified"
I am trying to download an Album from the artist "Enya" (Album Title "...And Winter Came"). For the past week, I try every day and continue to receive the following error:
"Purchase of this Item is not currently available. The item is being modified - please try again later."
It was officially released on Nov 11, 2008 so I know it's not an issue of waiting for it to come out. Has anyone else had this kind of problem in iTunes before? Either with this or another album? What kind of resolution should I take? Apple's support page is not very helpful, or it is not obvious how to actually send them an email without going through 10,000 menu options (none of which actually pertain to my issue).Many people have posted the same problem about that new Enya album. The message you saw means it is not available in the Store just now. You can try again another day, or check out other online music download stores.

Error message: "Item is being modified, please try again later"
I'm trying to buy Dhafer Youssef album "Digital Prophecy" from finnish iTMS. When i click "Buy Now" in my shopping cart, iTunes will give me various error messages,
"Item is being modified",
"Your shopping cart's contents have changed." or
"We could not complete your Music Store request. The server was not found."
I've bought several albums from iTMS before with no problems. I know for sure that there is no problems in my credit card or so. Also "the item" i am trying to buy, has been "being modified" for more than week already, so the problem must be somewhere else than just that it's price is being changed or so.
Anyone with a fix for this problem? I am running the latest version of Tiger, and all the latest updates from Software Update, both Quicktime and iTunes are as up-to-date as they can be.
G4 iBook & Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)They've been having problems with various albums. it's listed at two different prices but appears to be the same album. Others who have had this problem have clicked on the review page and downloaded their selection from there. I don't see that for this selection.
Try to purchase the $7.92 version. -
It's telling me "Item is currently being modified. Please try again later." Its really starting to make me mad; Is there any way to get rid of that message?
PS. The reason I'm downloading directly from the iPod is because the laptop that had my iPod synched to it crashed and the recovery disk didn't fix it. I don't wanna lose all my songs. :/If it says it is temporarily being modified than you should wait until tomorrow or later tonight. If it keeps happening, try downloading something else. If it has the same message, it is probably a problem with iTunes on your iPod. If it downloads regularly, there must just be a problem with the album.

I'm trying to purchase an album via iTunes and I keep getting the message:
"Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later."
What does that mean? Why is it listed in the store if it's not available? When will it be available?
iTunes 10.7.0.21
Thanks.It means it's being modified, try again later.
Sorry, but which part of that do you not understand?
Perhaps they're changing the price, so while they are doing that, you cannot buy it. It'll save you moaning later that you bought it and then the price went down. Or perhaps they've found that the album is faulty and so it has been removed until they can upload a non-faulty version. In either case, it will be available when Apple are ready to make it available. No one here knows when that will be.
Wait 24 hours and try again. If no luck, wait another 24 hours and try again. Obviously, Apple would prefer you to buy the song from them, so that's why it's still listed. But it's up to you how long you wait before deciding that you've waited long enough and you simply buy the album from another store. You have that choice, it's not compulsory to buy from Apple you know. -
I am trying to complete an album of which I bought 3 singles and every time I hit "Complete Album" for $4.83, it says "Purchase of this Item is not currently Available. This item is being modified. Please try again later." Ive tried multiple times over the past week and get the same error every time. Can anyone help? Thx
All you can do is keep trying. It happens sometimes.

I have been trying to find a solution to this problem by browsing this forum but I can't seem to find a solution.
As many others have decided to do I want to copy my Aperature library to an external FW 800 drive as my laptop space is dwindling. It seems all you need to do is copy the Library from the finder which can also be revealed in the preference if Aperature. When copying it seems to transfer for a few seconds but then I get this error "The operation can’t be completed because an item is being modified." I have formatted the drive correctly and there is no issues with Aperature itself so why do you think I am having this error? What can I do to copy this Library to my external?Reboot your machine make sure Aperture doesn't start (as Lion is liable to do) and try it.

Album artwork disappeared after an iTunes error... how can I get I back?
I've been using iTunes for years and out of a clear blue sky I get this error message, "iPhone cannot be synced because the sync session failed to start." After trying a few different things I find a fix that works- turn my iPhone all the way off and then turn it back on. Then when I added a new mp3 song to my iTunes Library and tried to sync it to my phone, the album artwork refused to show up on my phone even though it shows in iTunes. Nothing I did to fix it worked. I tried to add another mp3 song. Same problem. Then as I tried the various 'fixes' I read about here in Apple Support Communities, it made my problem worse! At first only the two new mp3 songs I added were missing album artwork. Now half of the songs I purchased from iTunes are missing album artwork! To add to that, many of the songs that have album artwork at all have the wrong artwork.
Stuff that didn't work:
Erasing all the music on my phone and resyncing made it worse
My manually added album artwork is already ID3 tagged v2.4
I have never checked the box that converts higher bitrate songs
Manually adding artwork and using iTunes' "get album artwork" feature
Restoring iPhone from a backup
I am using a MacBook Pro with OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.8.
I have iOS 6.1.4 on my iPhone 5 and I have not updated anything for the past two months.
PLEASE HELP.You dont have this:
Check your iTunes > Preferences... (or in Windows iTunes: Edit > Preferences...) > General tab > is Books checked? -

Download Error - "Item Being Modified"
Curious if anyone has any insight on an error I'm receiving while trying to download a book. It reads: "This item is currently being modified. Please try again later." Trouble is, that I've been getting the error for a few days. I was able to download a sample of the book, but not the rest. Any insight would be appreciated - very frustrating!
This is an old thread, but the problem is happening now to me, too. For me, it all started in the last month or so. A real pain. Most apps download fine, but a significant minority do not, ever.

Apple Support:
I have tried to purchase albums by Muse dated 2003 and earlier from the iTunes Store in Denmark.
For all of these I am getting the response:
"Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later.".
Well its been like this for one week now.
Is it still "being modified" or is it an access error that should not be there and that I am getting a misleading error message?
Apple please help !
Thanks,
AlexAll you can do is keep trying. It happens sometimes.
