ITunes Store down again!?

Is the iTunes Store ever up anymore? I know I was told it would be back up in a week or two when I called back in November, but I just checked today and I'm still getting the 'iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable' message. Has Apple discontinued the store for iTunes v8 on OSX 10.4 and below without bothering to tell anyone? What a sucky thing to do right before Christmas!

I got an iTunes store gift certificate for Christmas. Given that the store is STILL down, is there any way to redeem it for cash, given that Apple no longer seems to supply the service that they claim to?

  • Is the iTunes store down again?

    I do not have access.
    Thanks.

    It is NOT only an iTunes 8 issue. I was unable to make any purchases on the iTunes store last night before I updated to 8, and still cannot make any purchases now after I upgraded.
    It is quite frustrating that I can browse the store and find things I like, but I cannot actually BUY anything. Apparently my money is not THAT important. Nor is anybody else's.
    In today's society, it's completely unheard of for any company, big or small, to go longer than 8 hours without the ability to process purchases, it's usually a fatal business mistake. Yet we just sit back and let it happen?
    This from a company that is already behind the times in online multimedia purchasing to begin with. iTunes is one of the only companies left who do not keep records of content purchases that allows users to re-download content in the event of a hard drive failure or similar. Once you buy, Apple washes it's hands of you as a customer. I'll call that the "as long as we got OUR money..." syndrome.

  • Is iTunes Store Down

    I have been trying to purchase stuff for my iPad all evening, and it isn't working. Is the iTunes store down?

    You know what would be nice... a website from apple to tell us these things.  There is NOTHING wrong with admitting you are having technical issues, but to leave us blind with no phone tech support and customer service tells you they cant help and here is the best one... Customer Service does not allow their employees to have a test iphone for things.  Sorry but after 2 hours of this I am a little ****** off. FML

  • ITunes will not connect to the iTunes store once again

    Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? There have been reports that some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
    Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes. Consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure; you can find instructions for Norton on Symantec's web page for iTunes. You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
    Hope this helps.

  • 5002 - Error In itunes Store - Try Again Later?

    New to iTunes, Windows7 - Logging in to iTunes Store - I get 5002 error.  Should I just do what's suggested and "Try again later" ?  My Apple ID is good on the website and I was able to change my password, rebooted my computer and even obtained this support forum id. I just keep getting the 5002 error when logging in to the iTunes store.  Help !

    So you already followed these steps?
    This alert is often the result of an issue with verifying your billing.
    Quit iTunes.
    Open iTunes.
    Test the issue.
    If it persists, sign in to store.apple.com using your iTunes account
    Click on Change account information
    Modify or remove your credit card information.
    Click Continue.
    Test the issue.
    If you have I'd try calling AppleCare back and telling the it is error 5002 and already tried troubleshooting steps as listed in TS3297 and that you have already tried to email iTunes support and have yet to recieve a response.
