Itunes store busy error message

I've been trying to activate for the past 8 hrs and keep getting the error when I plug my phone into Itunes...message..."Could not complete the Itunes Store request. The store may be busy.
Check your internet connection or try again later.
Internet is fine, Itunes store is fine (I even bought a song). Apple Support says the Iphone uses a different server and I may be overwhelmed. But come on...8 hours????
Is anyone else getting this error

I was having that problem from 7:45pm last night until finally getting "in" at 5:15 this am. Now all is fine. Stick with it!
MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   Oh, and an iPhone!

    i been trying to purchase music and get into my itunes account but error -1202 won't allow me to get into my account or purchase music. I spoken with the so called experts at apple and they've been putting me through the ringer with their suggestions that don't work. i've been purchasing music all before with no problems why all of a sudden this problem? Can someone please tell what to do or give any suggestions as to why this is occuring.

  • TS1368 unable to connect with the apple itunes store. no error message, it just keeps "accessing" the store, and it is never successful. How do I overcome this?

    I am unable to connect with the iTunes store. ITunes keeps "accessing", but that can go on for an hour. No error messages. It just never connects. How can I overcome this?

    The question for me becomes what motivation do I  (Apple's customer) have to download Autoruns from Windows, open a compressed folder, try to determine which Winsock Provider is mine, check for updates and then run whatever it is I need to run to fix this.  All these steps just so I can access the Itunes Store and buy from Apple.  It would seem that Apple would find a fix on their side so their customers don't have to do this.  Is anyone from Apple listening???

  • How can I connect to itunes store when error message -54 prevents connection?

    The error message -54 is not defined properly or sufficiently, to attempt specific troubleshooting by the the user (not user friendly). Does anyone in the community have any experience with this error message? If so, how did you solve the issue? I suspect the impending migration to iCloud may hold the answer.

    Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors
    http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/best-fixes-for-cannot-connect-to-itunes- store-errors/
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126"

    I was today invited to upgrade my iTunes when I logged on.  Update failed. Every time I now try to open iTunes I get error messages.  Second message reads "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7. Windows error 126". I now can't sync my iPhoneand I am worried that if I re-install I will lose all my contacts,calendar, notes, etc.

    I too had this problems (Windows 8.1).  A few weeks ago after the previous update before this version of itunes, I'd had a problem with the itunes store crashing and at that time I followed instructions to copy QTMovieWin.dll to the itunes folder, which fixed the store crashing.
    Today I fixed the problem by:
    Delete QTMovieWin.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Uninstall ALL Apple Software using Control Panel / Programs and Features.  I uninstalled:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    Delete the folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
    Restart the computer
    Reinstall QuickTime
    Reinstall iTunes
    Everything works GREAT now, including the iTunes store.  You will not lose your media files, I got everything back, all my settings, playlists, etc.

  • Help getting"use itunes to restore" error message

    I connected my ipod to my friends computer to copy a program i had on their to his computer and i then i take my ipod out and get the "connect to your computer use itunes to restore: error message. I know i can just restore it im not going to do that becasue it would be the third time doing so. I get a error with the ipod software but when the ipod updater program comes on the only option is restoring. So i am wondering is there a way to reupdate the software? if not is there any other solutions not involving reformatting the whole ipod.
    Thanks in advance

    hey kurtis,
    seems like you and i were having the exact same problem. i took mine to an apple service centre today. the guy said if he can restore it in store it'll cost me $44- for a service fee if not he'll send away for a replacement iPod for free as it is under warranty.
    got 10 mins down the road and recieved a SMS from the apple account saying it couldnt be restored and therefore had faulty hardware or the like and so i should be recieving the new one friday.
    i recommend if you're still under warrenty (you can check by entering the seriel # on the back of your iPod somewhere on this site) that you follow my lead, even if they fix it in store $44 is better than $450.
    cheers!
