ITunes Music Store broken links everywhere

I recently had to install a new hard drive. Everything went very smooth. I went to the iTune Store and downloaded a couple of songs, no problem. Then I remember I had not ran updates, ran the updates. I restarted and went back to iTune Store and there are broken links everywhere. No images, just broken links. I never head of this or seen it. I went to the Apple store and ask someone at the Genius Bar and they pulled someone from the back and they have no clue. So if anyone out there has seen it and has fixed the problem, please pass it on. Thanks.

I simply assumed it was on Apple's side. I think they are receiving more traffic than they had anticipated. The song "new soul" from the MacBook Air have gone through the roof. And I must admit that after watching the keynote at MacWorld I wanted to rent Transformers right away and watch it with the kids! I think they are simply being bombarded. At least that is what I think, only time will tell.

  • How to create a link to album in Itunes Music Store?

    How is this done? Would like to send someone a link to a specific album so they can purchase & download it.

    Easy. Find the album or track in iTunes Music Store, then control-click (or right-click if you have a two-button mouse). One of the options you'll see is "Copy iTunes Music Store URL". Then go to your email (or chat window, etc.) and hit Command-V to paste.

  • Link to iTunes music store from a web page created in iWeb

    Is there a way to create a link to the iTunes music store from a web page made in iWeb. I'd like to make a list of songs, and link each one to the song on the music store.

    James, am I right in assuming, then, that one has to
    have purchased that iTune from the iTunes Store? So,
    logically then, if I have song that I copied from a
    CD in my iTunes, iWeb would not link to it?
    Sure, you can link your own music .mp3 files this way...but it doesn't go directly to your music library. What you would do is to have a copy of your music file saved to the desktop. Then make a link to file (one of the options in the Inspector Hyperlink tab) to this music file. When you publish your page, a copy of the music file will be uploaded to your site as well...so that people clicking on the link that you made can download the file.
    You can also drag in your music file to iWeb and use QT to play the music file on your webpage.

  • Podcast feed not updating correctly in iTunes Music Store

    Hi. I doubt anyone is able to help with this question, but this is where Apple "support" directed me...
    I've created a podcast feed:
    http://wwf.org.au/podcasts/rss
    I've registered it with the iTunes Store:
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=168761907
    We added a new item to the feed yesterday and it is not appearing in the iTunes Store feed. Subscribing to the feed manually (that is using the feed from our website) works fine, correctly showing the three items. But the iTunes Store feed only shows two items.
    I clicked the "Report a concern" link in iTunes but it went 404 (resource not found).
    If anyone can shed any light on why this might be happening, and more importantly how I might be able to fix it, that would be much appreciated.

    48 hours later and it's finally appeared in the store...

  • New podcast page not appearing in iTunes Music Store yet

    Our latest addition to the WhiskyCast podcast series, WhiskyCast Virtual Tastings, was added to the iTunes Music Store last weekend. However, it's still not showing up in search results unless one types in the complete name of the show, and then only shows up as a single episode -- not with a page of its own like our other podcasts. I know it takes a day or two for new podcasts to show up in the search results, but without the page, there's no "Report a Concern" link for me to check with the iTMS team on whether there's an issue or not. Should I wait a few more days to see if the problem straightens itself out, or is there someone within Apple that I can reach out to to see whether there's a problem with my feed that's keeping the page from showing up.
    Here's a link to the debut episode in iTMS and what iTunes displays:
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskycast-virtual-tastings/id460281190
    Thanks!
    Mark Gillespie

    The link you give is to the Store page for your podcast - this is what the Search results will link to once they become available. Your page does have the 'Report A Concern' link but I shouldn't bother (iin any case it's really meant for people to complain about content or whatever).
    It can take some days for the Search results to show; it's been eight, so it should happen any time now. If you want to contact Support (though I don't think you will find them at all helpful), go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

  • Ipod will not play itunes music store purchased music

    I know this topic has been discussed here before, but i still have yet to find a valid answer, so i figured i'd start another thread to see if anyone has found a solution yet. sorry for the repeat subject.
    I have a 30GB ipod (with the 4 buttons above the scroll wheel) which suddenly will not play music which has been purchased from the itunes music store. everything which was imported from CDs plays fine. the songs in question play fine through itunes - both from my library on my G5, as well as from the ipod, so it does not seem to be an authorization problem. i've reset the ipod numerous times, trashed itunes preferences, updated to the latest version of itunes, and updated the ipod itself to the latest software version... all to no avail. when i select an itunes purchased album on the ipod, it simply cycles through, song by song, without playing anything.
    I haven't restored the ipod to the factory settings yet, as i would like to avoid doing so because i will loose some music which i previously only had on a now dead ibook (faulty logic board). besides, i know from reading old posts, other people with the same problem have tried this as well, to no avail.
    can anyone offer any other help/advice on how to remedy this problem? thanks in advance.

    It appears that some songs in the iTunes store that were added to the store since the end of November will not play on 1st generation shuffles. They transfer to the shuffle fine but will not play. These same songs transfer to other iPods and play just fine. Many people are having these problems (see the Apple discussion boards). The only known solution is to burn the tracks to a cd and re-import them into your library (a royal pain in the butt). And, yes, I have tried all of Apple's recommendations and even went through troubleshooting with tech support over the phone. I was told they'd call me in a few days after speaking with their engineers but never heard back from them.
    PLEASE contact apple either by the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/ipod/
    OR by calling the support number:
    1-800-275-2273
    Hopefully, with enough complaints, Apple will be forced to correct the problem. It seems to me (and quite a few other people) that something changed on the encryption/the way they are encoding new music in the store that has made the music incompatible with our shuffles.

  • Can not connect to the itunes music store

    yea, I can't connect to the iTunes music store. a message pops up saying, "iTunes could not connect to the music store. The network connection was refused" then it goes on to say that "Make sure your network settings or correct and your network connection is active, then try again." well this started happening on and off before 6.0.3 came out, then when I upgraded to 6.0.3 it would always do it, not letting me access the store. I have deleted iTunes and reinstalled it, reset my modem and router, restarted my computer. And the internet connection works fine, because I am typing this on the computer I am having the problem with, and I can connect to services like aim. also, i have another comuter on my network, and it connects to the music store just fine. please help, thanks!

  • Cannot access ITUNES music store

    similar problem as others: recent download of ITUNES, first no audio now no access to Music Store-- broken chain symbols after long delay. All other sites work well. Has anyone with windows XP been successful since yesterday? If so, how? And how did you get ahold of someone at Apple?

    Thought you all should see this!!!!!!

    Our podcast has be listed in the iTunes Music Store for a while. 24 hours ago our podcast is now gone from the iTunes Store but can be found at this direct link:
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=263153505
    The feed is in the valid iTunes format and is a "clean" podcast. Can someone please tell me how to get the podcast relisted?

    Try this - It works for music downloads:
    Delete the video from iTunes library and choose move to trash.
    Take it out of the trash and put it on the desktop.
    Click on it, and it opens iTunes and plays.
    Depending on your settings, this should also add it back to your iTunes Folder. Once you're sure it's there, you can delete the copy on your desktop.

  • How to Remove the iTunes Music Store Arrow?

    OK, I may be totally missing something, but how do you get the little arrow (that now shows up next to songs, albums, artists,etc) to disappear? I can't do it in view (only manages columns) or preferences or music store...
    annoying to have my homemade tracks/obscure stuff come up with that little arrow...no you're not going to have it in the itunes music store....

  • ITunes Music Store - Singapore

    Hi everyone,
    I'd like to find out how can I access the U.S. or the U.K
    sites to purchase tracks out of these stores. I am currently located in Singapore. It seems I am unable to
    purchase these tracks although I have setup the PayPal
    account linked to my credit card.
    Thanks a mill.
    ET

    Then as has been said elsewhere, you will not be able to use any of the iTunes Music Stores. Your credit card billing address must be in the country of the iTMS, even if you're using PayPal as the payment handler.

  • Slow Connection with iTunes Music Store

    Hello. I just got to college with a 1.83 Intel Core Duo Macbook Pro that I've had for a couple of months so I am familiar with it. My Broadband Ethernet connection is fine except for the iTunes music store, which is incredibly slow. It takes about 5 minutes to connect to every link within the store, and finve minutes for the initial connection. I have tried all of the troubleshooting suggestions, un-installed iTunes, re-installed iTunes, emailed and telephoned apple care, and this is my last effort. I do not have a firewall, but still the Music store is incredibly slow. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I just screwed?

    Download speed has improved a lot compared to last week. Yesterday I downloaded several albums and it took just a few minutes. I must say it was faster than importing from a CD. That said I must say that there may be some issue with your internet connection. Maybe the ISP is blocking the downloads. Check with your ISP first.

  • How do I redeem a gift card in iTunes music store, without upgrading iTunes

  • Slow response from iTunes Music Store

    This is a problem for a lot of iTunes Music Store customers. Many people have complained that they get "cannot connect to the Music Store" error messages. Apple replies that repairing the Keychain can fix the problem, but I and several others in various discussion forums find that doesn't help.
    After upgrading to iTunes 6 and repairing my keychain, then restarting, I find that I can connect to the Music Store only after repeated attempts. I get the error message repeatedly, but if I keep trying enough times, I finally get through.
    A similar problem happens when I try to preview or buy songs -- I get several error messages, then finally connect.
    Using the Radio feature is similarly frustrating. I have to wait ten minutes or more after clicking on a genre to get a list of stations, and often I have to face a long wait with no error messages after selecting a station.
    I don't have this problem when connecting to the Music Store from other computers, but I have no other problems connectin to the Web from Safari or Firefox, or with any e-mail program.
    However, Apple's site seeems wonky -- lots of "document contains no data" when I click on forums or even to log in.
    I am using an iMac G4 (the dome computer) with Mac OS X.2.8.
    Apple, what's the solution?

    You're not alone. Since Saturday I seem to be experiencing two problems;
    1: The previews of tracks don't work properly - that is to say, they don't download correctly - I'm on 2Mb broadband and I've had to switch it into download the whole preview before playing due to it only playing 12 seconds of the 30 seconds if I leave it 'on the fly'
    2: I have repeated problems downloading tracks from the ITMS. THey get 50% of the way through then I get ;
    "There was an error downloading your purchased music. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
    After repeated retries I eventually get the track downloaded but it's painful.
    Again - this has only started happening since Saturday (I've been using ITMS on my mac since it opened in the UK), and like I said I'm on 2Mbits/s broadband with no other issues.
