ITunes gifting - "Cannot complete your request"

I used to gift songs and music videos all the time - worked like a charm.
Whether it's connected or not, who knows, but since the advent of Snow Leopard and/or iTunes 9 - I have lot's of issues with gifting.
Buying stuff for myself - no problem - it works.
When I try and gift a song or video , invariably I get a message - "iTunes Store cannot complete your request .... try again later".
Last time I did this (try again later) -I kept trying, and I kept getting the same message - but I found that in fact, it had worked every time - and the gift arrived 6 times, and I was billed 6 times.
I have followed the links to this on Apple troubleshooting - and the suggested action has not made a scrap of difference. Still, the issue remains.
Has anyone else had similar iTunes "gift" issues?

@Mylenium: My computer is running 64 bit Windows 7 Pro, 16 GB Ram, AMD Radeon 6900 series with I don't remember how many GB of ram (I installed it maybe 2 1/2 or 3 years ago). I have 4 physical hard drives with Raid 0 and Raid 5 configurations. I have been using my system full bore since I built it, and the entire configuration has been excellent for my processes until now. Is there any other specific information that you would need to have an idea of what the problem may be? Thanks.
@ JJMack: My scratch disk available volumes were wide open with 62 GB available (S: drive) and 52 GB available (O: drive). I'm puzzled because I have used this configuration on my computer for the past 2 1/2+ years with flawless function. I'm not new to setting up and configuring my computer, but I'm new to this odd error message.

  • I am getting the error "We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time. Please try again later." on both my iPhone and iTunes on my computer. What is wrong with iTunes? Is the server down???

    I am getting the error "We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time. Please try again later." on both my iPhone and iTunes on my computer. What is wrong with iTunes? Is the server down or what? I need to download some things and update some apps...

    I've been getting the same message for like an hour now.  Since everything was working fine a few hours ago, and nothing changed on my end before it stopped working, I'm guessing it's something on Apple's end.  They probably already know about it by now, and are hopefully working on fixing it, so there's probably not much we can do but wait for them to fix it.

  • We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time.

    "We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time." http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/7452/screenshot20110601at608.png <- what gives? One moment I'm downloading an iTunes movie rental and a bunch of music, the next second every completed download, attempted new purcase, and trying to start playing the partially downloaded movie resulted in this error.
    I paused the downloads and restarted iTunes. Downloads and Rentals were gone in the sidebar and every single secure request to the iTunes store (trying to login, trying to check for available downloads, trying to buy anything else) results in this error. However the music that had sucessfully downloaded was present in my iTunes library. However nothing new shows in my 'Recently Added' playlist... weird.
    I then tried restarting my router, ADSL modem, and my Mac. No good. I tried a different OSX user account. No good. I tried logging into the UK store (I'm usually in the NZ one) where I also have an account - no good, same error.
    iTunes store pages load, but anything secure results in this error :-(
    What has happened? One second all is well, the next all secure iTunes connections result in "We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time."

    I always try to download movies and TV shows in advance, although this is the first time in quite a while that I've had problems with it on Apple's end -- normally I'm just worried about my internet flaking out, which was happening pretty regularly for a while, or just slowing down way too much and taking hours to download anything.  It's a good approach when you can manage it as it eliminates the risk of this sort of thing messing up your whole night.  If you still have enough movie night left tonight though, you could try renting something from Amazon.  It's streaming rather than download, so it's vulnerable to inconsistencies in internet speed, and it tends not to be as good quality as iTunes video (at least in my experience), but at least you might still be able to get a movie in tonight.

  • ITunes Error, "We're sorry we cannot complete your request..."

    I am getting the error "We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time. Please try again later." on both my iPhone and iTunes on my computer. I know my password and my Apple ID are ok because I can log on to here. Are the servers down? I need to do updates and want to download some things.... Thanks for the help!

    Exact same problem here. Might be coincidental, but it started after upgrading to 10.6.5. Strangely, I have two accounts and only one of them is showing the error. The other one logs in just fine.

  • Keep gettting "We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the iTunes Store at this time."

    When I try to access itunes, I get this error: We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the itunes store at this time. Please try again later. Is this a common error? Is there a fix?

    Sorry, I don't have any suggestions at this time. You can try running the Network Diagnostics in iTunes:

    and post the results here. That may provide some clues that someone can use to diagnose the problem and offer suggestions.

  • I cannot sign into App Store. "unknown error" and then "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"

    I cannot sign in to the App Store.
    I changed countries a few months ago and updated all my account info and everything was working fine, until recently, while trying to upgrade my softwear to Mavericks, which I cannot do. My apple Username and password work fine on iTunes and on my iPhone. I can also access all my account info when I sign in through the website. It just will not work for the App Store on my Mac Pro.
    When I click "Welcome" under Quick Links it asks me to sign in. I sign in with my Apple Username and Password and then it DOES NOTHING
    When I click on "Free Upgrade" and then "Install" on the mavericks software, it asks me to sign in again. This time it says "unknown error" and then it says "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
    I''m completely blocked. I cannot procede without being able to update my software.
    Please help me.

    You could try this.
    Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Getting message: Cannot complete your request because it's not the right type of document

    I am taking a CS6 Photoshop class, I downloaded the data files from cengagebrain.com, my task in the book is to click File on the Menu bar, then click Open, then navigate to the drive and folder where you store you Data Files.  When I click the corresponding file (PS 1-1.psd), I get the following error message: Cannot complete your request because it's not the right type of document.
    Can anyone help please?

    Good day!
    Cannot complete your request because it's not the right type of document.
    Are you sure the file has the correct suffix?
    It might have been damaged in downloading, unstuffing, copying …, so if you are certain that the site is legit you may want to try re-downloading the file.

  • Cannot complete your request because the scratch disks are full

    When I attempt to crop a photo I get this message: Cannot complete your request because the scratch disks are full. In fact one scratch disk has 62+ GB and the other has 52+ GB available. Does anyone have a solution for this?
