ITunes Music store hung up with a white screen

When I open iTunes after booting up my computer, it opens just fine. I can get into and manage my stored Music. But when I click on the Music Store tab, the black "loading bar" at the top of the screen loads virtually all the way but stops just short of loading completely. Where the Music Store graphics and screen would normally appear, it remains white. I can click on other stored music tabs on the left, but clicking back on the Music Store doesn't help.
And then, when I close iTunes and try and open it back up, it won't open. I then try to restart my computer and before it shuts down, a small iTunes-Program Not Responding window pops up, loads completely and then I shut down my computer.
When the re-boot is complete, iTunes opens up just fine, but the Music Store still doesn't load.
Any thoughts on the problem.

  • Video purchased from iTunes Music Store not compatible with my video iPod?

    I purchased the White Stripes music video for "The Hardest Button to Button" from iTunes, but when I plug in my video iPod, it says it can't copy it over because it "can't be played" on my iPod. I don't understand what to do! All the other videos I've purchased from iTunes has copied/played fine...
    Can someone please help me figure out what to do? Is it a bad video and I need to seek a replacement from Apple? I'm using iTunes 6.1, not the newest iPod updater (because of all the problems with it), video iPod, and Windows XP.
    Thanks!

    I need help! I've followed some suggestions from people at the IGN forums, but nothing has worked so far. I'm in the process of waiting on a reply from Apple.
    Please help!

  • TV Shows from iTunes Music Store will not sync with my iPod

    I have a video iPod (5th Generation). I just downloaded some videos from the iTunes music store and they will not sync with the iPod. I get the message "...some videos cannot be played on this iPod."
    The error log says that the videos are not in a supported video format. How can that be? I purchased these from the music store.

    This is actually the iPod nano (3G) forum. You might get better help, faster by posting in the iPod "Video" forum: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=157

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can i share iTunes music between my kids with different apple id's?

    Can i share iTunes music between my kids with different apple id's?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, even though they have their own IDs for the iTunes Store, if everyone uses the same ID for home sharing, you can share the content.

  • New Episodes of my Podcast are not showing up in the iTunes Music Store?

    this isn't really an "itunes for mac" question, but since i do my production on a mac, i'll ask it here!
    i produce and record a weekly podcast (about 2 hours each week) which has been listed in the iTMS since it started (last february)
    this last week we recorded episode 31 and uploaded it to my .mac account, and all went well... the new episode is downloading to anyone who already has subscribed to the rss feed (homepage.mac.com/airplayradio/podcast.xml), but it hasn't shown up in the iTunes Music Store... the software i use to upload the shows generates an automatic ping, and i've done a manual ping a couple of times a day since wednesday, but nothing...
    any ideas? absolutely -nothing- (software/hardware/etc.) has changed since i uploaded episode 30 a week ago, and that showed up within an hour...
    many thanks for any advice!
    cheers

    well, i never got a reply directly to my question, but i was directed by email to post my problem within itunes... go to the podcast page of my podcast and then select "report a concern"... i always thought this was to report offensive podcasts, but if you click on that button you'll see a pull down list with a bunch of problems... i selected "difficulty downloading" and then explained the problem completely... as i said, i never heard back from anyone, but about 4 days later my podcast episode showed up... and this past wednesday we uploaded the latest episode and it showed up in the iTMS almost immediately... go figure?!
    if anyone's interested, the podcast name is Schnauzer Logic and its comedy and talk and music and pop culture (i used to be the host of a morning show)... good for a giggle once a week for a couple of hours.
    cheers!

  • 2nd Gen (Touch Wheel) won't play audio book from iTunes Music Store

    I have a 10GB Touch Wheel iPod (2nd Gen). Software version 1.5.
    I recently purchased the unabridged version of The DaVinci Code from the iTunes Music Store. The 7-part audio book plays just fine on my iBook and on my daughters' Nanos but it does not play on my older iPod.
    What happens when I choose the first part on my older iPod is that you can see it cycle through parts 1-7 without playing anything and then returns to the main menu.
    I don't have problems with other music or previously purchased audio books.
    Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

    I figured it out on my own... somehow my device got switched to "shuffle" mode. I have no idea how that happened, but there you go. Since I never use it in that mode, it never occurred to me to check that. Sigh. I switched it back to 'play in order' mode and now it is just fine.

  • Cannot connect to itunes music store

    Over the past 2 days, iTunes will not let me access the music store coming up with the error message
    "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection timed out.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again"
    I haven't changed my network settings at all and have no idea how to solve this.

    My firewall is Norton Internet Security. I haven't been able to access the music store for over a month. Have tried every fix, in every post, including allowing iTunes in the programs section of my firewall, uninstalling and reinstalling both iTunes and Quicktime with no solution. When I click on the music store, iTunes closes every time. I could use iTunes 6.0.4 for a few weeks before these symptoms started. I upgraded to 6.0.5 today and no change. I read that my issue might have something to do with me having a Dell and Windows XP. I don't know, but it's frustrating the H#@* out of me. I'm an IT manager for a large company, to boot! I've spent more time on this issue than any IT problem ever encountered. The discussion board is riddled with people experiencing the same issue as I with no solution. What caught my attention was the model and OS of the poster's computer. Same as mine and many others. I am still interested in resolving this issue, but will be looking for another music purchasing solution in the meantime.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • 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.

  • HT203433 I cannot find some of my previous purchased songs on iTunes Music Store? Lost?? Strange!

    Hi,
    I have lost many musics in the same album which I had purchased on iTunes Music Store.
    I bought an album named "100 Supreme Classical Masterpieces: Rise of the Masters" about a year ago. It is a collection of classical music. It was a 100 piece of music but now I want to re-download it but it only shows me 15 tracks. I've checked it is not hidden. I've tried to search for it in iTunes Music and I found it. It is a 100 track album and it says that you've purchased this but in Purchase section only gives me 15 songs. Please help
    Any idea?
    Thank you.

    I'm having the same problem with iTunes 11. When I purchase songs for the iTunes Store, they don't appear in iTunes for me. They appear immediately on my mobile devices, but in order to get them to appear in iTunes, I have to turn off iTunes Match and then turn it back on, and even then they only appear as being available for download. Oddly enough, if I go into the iTunes Media/Downloads folder, the original downloaded files are there. It's as if they aren't getting fully processed by iTunes and indexed properly after they are downloaded. It's incredibly annoying. I could probably drag those files into iTunes to add them, but I haven't tried that yet. Hopefully Apple will resolve this issue quickly. In the meantime, check your iTunes Media/Downloads folder. The files are probably there.

  • Why can I not buy songs from iTunes Music Store?

    Earlier this year I moved from the U.S.A. to Sweden... changing my 'Mac.com' account address while doing so.
    Last week, I tried to purchase some songs from the iTunes Music Store with my American MasterCard (a debit card) which is listed with my Swedish address at my U.S. bank. As I had never purchased at the iTunes M.Store before I was instructed to 'review my account'... which I did. It had my present Sweden address and my Mastercard listed as method of payment. Upon submitting the form, it was rejected, saying that my MasterCard was 'invalid for Sweden'! So I then go to the Apple-Sweden Store and purchase an iTunes Music Card which I receive in the mail the following day. Now I follow the Apple advice posted for purchasing music by redeeming an iTunes Music Card without listing a credit card (http://www.apple.com/se/support/itunes/store/giftcard/#GCA)... except there is no selection for NONE as indicated in these instructions.... So once again when I submit the form it is rejected, meaning that this time I have already spent money for the iTunes Music Card that is now worthless to me!
    Is there another way I can redeem this card without going through that 'review account' window...?
    I don't care to set up another account by setting up another e-mail address just to do this... as I want all of the Apple business to go through my Mac.com account as it should be configured to do so!

    O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
    I don't know what happened but this is the results....
    After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
    A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
    So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?
