ITunes Store Bandwidth Problem Today

I've read a few posts here today about problems connecting to the Store. I got to the Store, made a purchase, and the download is still going because it is so slow.
Over the past week I have downloaded 5 episodes of Battlestar Galactica and they all went very fast at ~6000kbps. But today my download is only going at 500kbps!
They must be having some kind of server problems today.

DrGoo's post here might be worth checking on:

ITunes Store Connection Problem and R6025 Error

I have a problem with iTunes (v 7.6.2.9) on my desktop machine that I haven't been able to resolve. The same version works without problem on my laptop, both are fully up-to-date XP SP3 installs with no iTunes add-ons.
iTunes starts correctly, but then does one of three things:
1) It hangs during connection to the Store, with the bargraph almost at the end of the travel.
2) It brings up the Store page, but although I can move the cursor around to click the Store links, nothing happens. Eventually the 'Accessing iTunes Store' bargraph may appear but it never connects.
In both of these two instance, no error messages appear, the Store simply locks up. I can still use iTunes perfectly as a player, access my library etc. However, I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL to close the iTunes process from the Task Manager.
3) As per (2), but about five seconds after the Store appears, an error box pops up:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Programe: C:\Programe Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe
R6025 Pure Virtual Function Call
Pressing OK closes iTunes.
I've done all the obvious things - removed and reinstalled, cleaned out registry errors using jv16 Powertools 2008, I've even used Process Explorer to examine all the dlls in use with iTunes and compared the version numbers to the correctly working version on the laptop - they're all the same. I've also run a low-level memory error checker, but it passed with flying colours.
So I'm a bit stumped to know how to take this any further. I know other people have had R6025 problems in the past, but they seem to have generally been resolved by installing a later version of the application... which isn't much use to me, as I'm on the latest already. Incidentally, I did try going back one version to 7.6.1, but that behaved in exactly the same way.
If anyone has any ideas about how to troubleshoot this sort of problem, I'd be very interested. I'm assuming that I have another application conflicting with iTunes, but I've no idea how to find it.
Thanks,
Steve

Yay! I've found the culprit...
For historical reasons, I still maintain my old Compuserve 3 account as my public e-mail address. Part of the CS3 installation is a Remote Password Authentication system called Virtual Key. I noticed that these dlls were being invoked during Store connection attempts, which I thought was a little odd.
I deleted the following files from Windows/System32: (annotations courtesy of the Compuserve info text file for Virtual Key)
RPA.DLL - The dynamic link library that implements the RPA protocol for Virtual Key.
RPACFG.DLL - The dynamic link library that implements the Virtual Key accounts wizard API and other configuration APIs.
RPAWINET.DLL - The dynamic link library that is required to enable Virtual Key for Internet Explorer, version 3.0.
RPASSPC.DLL - The dynamic link library that is required to enable Virtual Key for the Internet Mail client and other non-web clients.
RPAEDIT.EXE - An editor application for editing Virtual key Accounts as well as viewing and deleting sites from the Virtual Key Site List that is created by Virtual Key when accessing secure sites.
RPAUI.HLP - Help for Virtual Key features.
VKUNINST.DLL - An uninstaller program for Virtual Key.
RPAINFO.TXT - This file.
As I only access Compuserve through the proprietary CS3 front end, removing Virtual Key has had no impact on my Compuserve mail system and iTunes is now working perfectly.
I hope this information might be of some use to others in the future!

Why do I keep getting an error message saying that I need to check my internet connection when I try to listen to Radio? I ran diagnostics and my internet connection is fine. I can also access iTunes Store no problem??

Why do I keep getting an error message "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service.Check your internet connection or try again later." This happens when I am trying to listen to Radio (obviously). I ran diagnostics and it said my internet connection was good. I can also connect to the iTunes Store with no problem. Any ideas?

Hi,
Maybe the radio connection on the other end is not working. Hope this helps.

Can you help with a iTunes Store Connection Problem?

Hi I've tried to fix a problem by following steps as outlined by Apple support but to no avail. I can't access the iTunes Store or App Store from my Mac but can do from our iPhones and iPods using the same log-in.
The message received is: iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (-54).
Any help in simple steps would be appreciated.

Hey Apple surely you can give us a reply!

ITunes Store is Broken Today - Downloads Don't Work

Hello - For the past 1 hour I have tried to purchase Season 2 of Mad Men on iTunes with my Mac. I am running the latest version of iTunes and every time I hit the buy button I get "accessing the itunes store" message and nothing happens.
I then tried to download a small application for tip calculations and the same thing happened.
Is the store down today? What's up? I made sure to update my credit card information.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Unplugging the AirPort is essentially powercycling...that just means restart it, or turn it off and then turn it back on.
Do you have any other user accounts on your computer? You might want to see if you can log into one of them and use the store. If you don't, try creating one, logging into it, and seeing what happens:
1. Open System Preferences from your Apple menu
2. Click on the Accounts icon
3. If you see a closed padlock in the lower left hand corner, click on it and enter your admin password to allow changes
4. Then, click the + button
5. Enter the information you are prompted for, and then click "Create Account"
6. Restart the computer and log in to the new account

ITunes Store download problems

Hi, for the last few months if I purchase something on the iTunes store (Apps, Music, TV Shows, Movies) regardless of what it is the purchase is made and it downloads fine. However, if I close iTunes before the download is completed, whatever was in the download queue disappears. If I click on "Store" in the menu bar and select "Check for Available Downloads" I see the "Checking For Downloads message, followed by a pop-up the reads "Unable to check for available downloads, The iTunes Store in temporarily unavailable, Please try again later". When I select the "Downloads" section in the Sidebar, it tells me (at the bottom middle of the screen) that i have "388 iTunes Downloads Available", but when I click on the download button I get the same message about the iTunes Store being unavailable. When I go to the actual Store and select "Account" from the Quicklinks menu on the right it shows that I have 400 Downloads Available, however when I click on the "Download Now" button I see the Checking for Downloads message at the top of the screen and then nothing happens, I don't even get a pop-up saying that iTunes is unavailable.
Is there a way i can fix this? or should I contact Apple...
I've read a few similar posts about this and tried a few suggestions but nothing seems to help.
This is getting incredibly annoying now as I've spent well over $200 over the last 6 months, I even receive E-mails for my Season Passes letting me know a new episode is available for download, but guess what....I can't download them! (sorta rubbing salt in the wound hey?)
I have a HP Laptop running Win7 64-bit, on this I've updated iTunes and am running 10.5.0.90
I've run the Diagnostics test and passed with no errors. I have my firewall turned off, I am using SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0, and have also disabled "Check for server Certificate revocation"
I also own a 20-inch iMac Alum (Mid-2007) running OS X Lion 10.7.1 and iTunes 10.5b112 (112) 64-bit and am having the exact problems on my mac as well. Although iTunes on my mac will download Apps I've purchased on my iPhone 4 Automatically, where-as this doesn't happen on my PC.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

c'mon guys! someones gotta have something to say?

Itune Store Connection Problems

I downloaded the latest itune update yesterday morning (7/31) and now I am unable to connect to the Itune store.
I have done all the diagnostic checks suggested but still having problems connecting can anyone help?

you have probably tried this already, but restarting seems to solve many of the 7.7.1 issues.

Itunes Store Gift problem

I sent an Itunes Store Gift to my daughter but, not thinking, (stupidly?) we redeemed with my account open instead of hers. She has fiddled around with work-arounds (dragging the songs to thumb-drive then uploading on to her Itunes account) but can't get the songs to sync on to her Ipod. I suspect this is a simple security issue as Itunes/Ipod thinks she is basically trying to get the songs without paying. Is there any other option to fixing this problem? She is 13 years old and quite "emotional" about not being able to get her gift. The issue may be complicated by trying to fix while running between Itunes 8 on the iMac DV and Itunes 9.2 on the MacBook Pro.

Try playing those songs through iTunes - perhaps they just need to be authorized. In case you'll be asked to authorize those tracks enter your ID/PW.

ITunes Store page problem

When I click on the iTunes Store link the page does not open with pictures, links, etc. What I get in Headings, text, link, no pictures. Any suggestions?

Glad I could help! As per my post in another thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15998237#15998237
The new iTunes 10.4.1 seems to fix the problem without going through any more steps. I'll wait a little longer to see if any glitches/bugs crop up before updating it, though, but that's just me.

Itunes Store View Problem

I am using itunes on a PC and recently upgraded to the newest version of itunes.
Well, now when I visit the store, I cannot see the entire tracks names. For example if a track has remixes all I can see is "1. Vertigo (Jacknife le......)." 2. Vertigo (Jacknife Le......) and so on. I contacted itunes, and they told me they could not fix is. Does anyone else have this problem?
And ideas to help?

I have just visited the iTunes store and viewed a few albums to see if I have the same problem and I do not have it.
This is what I see when I am looking at a album on iTunes.

Purchase of email gift certificate in the iTunes store - having problems?

I tried for 15 min. to figure out how to buy an email gift certificate from the iTunes store via my Mac. I read the HELP instructions and they did not corespond with what was on my screen (and Apple presented no pictures to illustrate and use to match). Problem was this - beware - especially with the holiday shopping coming... you might end up frustrated by this too:
If your iTunes home page is displaying via their "Just for You" personalized feature, it won't display the buy a gift certificate, etc. commands. So - turn off that "Just for You" stuff. The screen will refresh and present you with access to those purchase commands. Funky funky... both the instructions and the interface.
Lastly, right now the purchasing engine ain't working at all. I tried to make a purchase there and the display just kept saying that there's a problem at their server level or something like that and to try again later.
Like I said, funky...

I have PayPal set up for purchases. I ordered the egift for email delivery to my self and keep getting the message that the purchase did not go through, contact support. I contacted them and they told me they had fixed the problem so I tried many times again and got same message. I do nto understand why there is always some problem with Itunes. Seldom is it a smooth process. This is the only account I have with constant problems.

ITunes Store & apps problem

What happened to the iTunes Store & Apps for my iPhone 4, it is virtually unusable. It takes so long to load and the previews stop after a second. Is this due to installation of iOS6? Take me back a week. I haven't been this frustrated since my Blackberry.

There are problems with the store that are affecting a number of users : http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
As I'm a fellow user I don't know when it might be fixed, but you could check that page occasionally to see when it's back up.
