ITunes permissions error when downloading from Store

When I try to download music or an app from the iTunes Store I get the following error after clicking the button to download the item:
" *ITunes couldn't download your purchase*
You don't have write access to your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store > Check Available Download."
I checked permissions on my iTunes Media folder and I have Read/Write access. I also applied Read/Write access to all enclosed items. I went into the iTunes Media Folder and manually created files and deleted them without any problem, so it appears I do have write access.
Unfortunately I hadn't use iTunes for a few weeks , so I'm not sure when it quit allowing downloads. Everything else appears to work fine.
Any suggestions on where to go from here would be appreciated!
OSX 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1.1 (4)

Thanks so much! I contacted iTunes support and they kept telling me to mess with my permissions in terminal but no one thought to mention the shared folder at all... This ended hours of frustration for me! Glad I found this discussion.

    windows 8.1 account limit problem when downloading from store        
    I have 250 windows 8.1 tablets.
    I figured since you can use the same account on 81 devices id create 4 accounts.
    I need to download more than 25 free apps from the store
    on each tablet. Putting the same account don't work. (comes up with an error after putting on to many devices that you cant use this account now).
    Whats the best way to do this ? and what if I need to download a paid app ?
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, One Microsoft Account may bound at most five Trusted computers. There is no way to break this limitation.

  • Application error when downloaded from different country Itunes site

    Hi,
    I recently got a US gift card for the US Itunes store and downloaded an application but it won't sync (get a sync undefined error). I tried the troubleshooting directions supplied (deauthorise and re-authorize etc) but I suspect that it is becasure I now have two Itunes accounts (one in the AUS Itunes site and one in the US site) any ideas on how to get both US and AUS content working? I have tried authorising two accounts on the this computer but it didn't seem to work either.
    regards

    You can only purchase from the iTunes Store in your country of residence.

  • TS3297 error when downloading from iTunes song from store. sail away says file corrupted, yet continues to repeatedly try to download this song. can't remove it or delete it from iTunes, shows up with an exclamation sign.

    It says file corrupted yet continues to attempt to download the file. It is stuck in a loop. I can't seem to delete this file either. i've tried several ways, dragging it to trash (it still appears), hitting the delete buttin on my computer.
    Any suggestions as to how to stop the downloading of this corrupted file?

    Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • Error when downloading from iTunes Store

    I'm trying to download an album, and one of the tracks is a video. When that video tried to download, it gave an error 42003. It said to check network connectivity and try again. Did that, but still the error. What does this error mean? What can I do to fix it?

    Disable any firewall, anti-virus, etc software you may have and try again. This includes most things by Norton, McAfee, and so on. Also, if you're connected wireless or through a router, try accessing the internet directly via your broadband modem.

  • Error when purchasing from store via iTunes

    Hi
    I am unable to purchase anything from the store as I keep getting the following message when I press purchase & login with my Apple ID :-
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (2001).
    There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later"
    The only option is to press ok & it goes no further. I know the ID works, as I've logged in here for this forum.
    Any clues ? Am I an idiot & am missing out something ?

    I have the exact same problem. It started last week when I upgraded to iTunes v9. I can't purchase any music. I get the same error message. I even tried the suggestion to log on first and then try to purchase. Same problem existed.
    I contacted Apple via email and they had me completely uninstall v9 and reinstall from a fresh download. I did all that and I have the same problem. In addition, I now also have a problem in that some of the songs in my music are corrupted or don't start playing at the beginning of the song. I guess the real lesson is to never, ever upgrade iTunes.

  • Mission impossible errors when downloading from iTunes

    We've been trying to download the latest digital copy of Mission Impossible from iTunes and have had no luck.  It stops downloading and gives an error message (unknown error occurred (-50)) and have received (err - 8008).  We've checked for software updates, rebooted the system and tried again, but nothing.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Me too. But mine is odd in that I HAD the file - downloaded on the day it came out, and then watched.  But then it disappeared.  I've emailed Apple support and they've resent the file, but I get the same answer.  They tell me to try again, but itunes seems to think I've already downloaded it.
    I got the iTunes extras, but not the movie.
    Please let me know if there's any resolution! Thanks.

  • Error when downloading from a certain website. image scrambled. (kepguru.hu)

    I have been downloading wallpapers from kepguru.hu for about a year, with no difficulty or errors. This (hungarian) site is successful and user friendly, even though I do not understand the language. <br />
    About 3 weeks ago, this all just stopped working for me. I can access the website, view pages of thumbnails, and reach the big thumbnail stage. But when I click on download, and wait for the image to load, all I get is a partial, and scrambled image. In other words, it is as if the image has been cut into pieces and put back together in the incorrect order. <br />
    I have tried almost every setting I can think of, including resetting Firefox....twice, with no positive results. If I opt to 'reload' the tab/page, Firefox tells me "the image cannot be displayed because it contains errors". (it is not possible that every one of the millions of images on this site can suddenly contain errors.)<br />
    I have written to kepguru.hu directly enquiring as to whether there are problems with the site, and they have replied in the negative, and suggested I try a different browser.<br />
    I downloaded, and tried Google Chrome and internet explorer. I have also tried Google, Bing and Yahoo as search engines and all these produce exactly the same results.<br />
    I do not think the problem is with my computer, since I have 3 computers in the house all working independently of each other, and the results are the same on all of them.<br />
    I am connecting by means of dsl/wireless router/wifi. My computer is protected by Kaspersky anti virus.<br />
    I sincerely hope that there is someone who can help me find a solution to this problem.<br />
    Thank you<br />

    Works fine here ([[http://kepguru.hu/dyn/download.php?id=19082&size=w2 *]]).
    You can check the network.http.* prefs on the about:config page.<br />
    Reset network.http prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu -> Reset if they are user set (bold).

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • Unreadable file error when downloading from Iphone

    I recently updated my Macbook Pro to Mountain Lion OS and iPhoto 11.  Now when I try to import any video or pics I get the "unreadable file" error.  I think it may have to with my system preferences or something because when I try to back up my phone on iTunes it says not enough disk space when my hard drive says there is 200gb free.  Anybody have any idea where I should start?  Go easy on my this is my first post.

    Actually if the files download on her husbands computer then the problem is unlikely to do with either the files or Blackboard
    Blackboard inc would be the wrong contact as they are simply the company that sell the software - the people to contact would be the support people at the institution hosting the blackboard installation who look after all the configuration of the servers - however if they download fine for some users for some then  it is unlikely to be a blackboard issue.
    The most likely cuprit is the internet connection which is probably timing out before the download finishes - the other possiblity is that something running on your computer i momentarily breaking the connection with a loss of data.
    Normally if you have the adobe browser plugin for IE the file will actually open in the reader in the browser but this doesnt always work in other browsers.

  • Error when downloading from Blackboard

    I am getting the following error message.There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. I am getting this message when I attempt to open anything from the internet; specifically from Blackboard. I am using a Dell, but if I get on my husband's Acer and open the exact same files they open every time. I have removed and reinstalled Adobe reader, and even tried Adobe Reader X, which is what my husband has on his. I am out of ideas. What can I do to fix this?

  • Permissions error when migrating from Access 2000

    Hi
    I have an Access 2000 database that is pretty small - only has 8 tables, total DB size is < 24MB. I've gone through all the steps of creating the Oracle model etc and all went without a hitch. However, when I come to migrate table data I get the following error:
    Unable to migrate data from source table "tbl Case" to destination table CDSS.tbl_Case : CDSS.tbl_Case; [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] You do not have the necessary permissions to use the "C:\Customers\Vancouver\CDSS\Database\CDSS.mdb" object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you.
    There is no security on the Access database so I'm a little unsure as to what is causing this error to occur; does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks very much

    There is an option in the users guide for switching off any security in Access. This should solve the problem with permissions

  • NS Internal Inconsistency Exception Error when downloading from OS 10.6.8 to OX Yosimite

    I am getting this when I am upgrading from 10.6.8 to OS X Yosemite I am receiving the NS Internal Inconsistency Exception Error.
    Screen shot below..
    What do I have to do.. I have checked all the requirements before upgrading..  How can this be fixed?

    There seem to be a number of 10.6.8 users getting this error...if you have at least a MacBook Pro3,1 you may want to wait a day or two for the server load to drop so you get faster and more reliable data transfer.  The file is 5.16 GB and an take long enough for packets to get messed up on the way.
