ITunes store forces columned browsing on music genre

I am trying to get to the home page for the Christian & Gospel section of the iTunes store but this stupid columned browsing keeps showing up. Removing the columned browsing feature sends it back to the main music home. I have reinstalled iTunes, deleted plists, EVERYTHING but it's like the program is hellbent on keeping it in columned browsing. I've tried in seperate users too and it changes nothing. All other music genres have their main pages displaying properly.

I just replied similarly in another post of mine. I hope this helps. Yup, iTunes removed the genre. Here is the response from iTunes support:

Dear Robert,
This is Benex from iTunes Store Customer Support.
I understand that you are concerned that the Christian & Gospel category disappeared from the iTunes Store.
Unfortunately, these are no longer available. However, Apple is constantly working with content providers to expand the iTunes Store catalog and to make more items available. Just check the Store for updates because new items are added everyday.
Your comments and suggestions are an integral part of this continuing effort to provide quality content. To request that certain items be distributed, please visit this web page:

I wanted to look for some new music and the Christian & Gospel genre is gone. What happened? If you feel like it is not a viable genre, I am very saddened, especially since the no. 1 albums in all of iTunes for the past 3 weeks were Christian albums. Can you tell me why it is gone, is it coming back, and what are you doing to the genres. Please, please do not take it away!

You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

HT2731 how do you enable cookies from the iTune store so I can download music

how do one enable cookies from the iTunes store so I may download music?

Search for music and then buy it.
If you already have music you want to import to the iPhone, connect it to your computer and open the iTunes application on the computer, and start a sync (in the lower right of the window).

HT204406 I just downloaded music from Itunes Store but all of the music did not download.

I just downloaded music from Itunes Store but all of the music did not completely download.

You could try emailing iTunes support, giving them your order number, etc. or you could just take the hit and pay the 99p. I know what I would do.

ITunes 9.1 Column Browser

Is there any way to use the "colomn browser" in iTunes 9.1 to view the top songs when I try to "view all" from iTunes home page, or at least add an additional colomn to sort by? In every other iTunes version before this one I was able to use the column browser when I viewed the top songs?

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I've been away from my computer for a while. No. When I'm on the iTunes home page and I click on "see all" for the "Top Chart" songs, I just get a list of the songs with no way to sort through them by changing the column headings. Example: Say I want to sort through all of the "Top Chart Songs" by genre, I can not find a way to add that heading and sort by it. In earlier versions I could view those songs in a colomn browser way and sort by genre. Now when I try to use the column browser when I'm viewing the Top Chart Songs, it goes to a colmn browser but a colmn browser for everthing not just the Top Chart Songs.

Need Help with iTunes 11.0 Column Browser - PC

In the new version of iTunes 11.0, I can't seem to get three columns when using the column browser. I want to see Artists, Albums, and then Songs in that order, but it won't allow me to move the Songs panel as a column. I was able to do this with the older version of iTunes. This is a waste of screen space since the artists and albums don't require wide columns at all. What is up with Apple these days?

I'm using iTunes 11.0.2 on a 21" iMac that's 2 years old. Today iTunes started playing on it's own and it's never done that to me before. I had to Force Quit iTunes twice and I restarted my computer. As soon as I restarted my computer I did not open iTunes, but within 10 minutes it not only opened itself but it started playing. This is super frustrating and I need it to stop. Can anyone help?

ITunes Store no longer remembering apps/music already downloaded

Hi,
i've got the latest iTunes, and it occurs to me a phenomenon that itunes store previously remembers and indicate the status of apps/music already purchased.
to make myself clearer, for example i have already downloaded Whatsapp a long time ago, but now if i go to the App Store, it used to display as "purchased" or "downloaded" just beside the app icon.
Now it no longer does, applied to hundreds of apps and hundreds of songs.
Is it a bug ?

Make sure that you selected the correct iTMS country when trying to logging into your account.

Itunes Store menu does not have music, movies or tv

Why would my ITunes Store menu only show apps, podcasts and ITunesU? I want to download music.

Why would my ITunes Store menu only show apps, podcasts and ITunesU?
Because Apple hasn't secured permission to sell enough music and videos in Indonesia to justify opening other sections.

"Cannot connect to iTunes Store" when access from Video/Music

When I open "Video" or "Music" app and try to access iTunes Store from inside the app, the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" appears. I have access to internet and still can download applications from app store. Please help me fix this. Thank you.

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

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.

Itunes Store Busy only when Gifting Music

I can access the store, buy music for myself and download, but I can't seem to give an album as a gift. When I get to the "Buy Gift" stage, I get the following error:
"Could not complete the Itunes store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later."
This is not a problem with my date/time synchronization and I'm running the latest version of Itunes. I've been getting this error for 24 hours now. Help!

Have you tried a Hard reset on your Device?
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Purchased ringtone from itunes store and it appears in music list. how do I get it over to ringtone?

I purchased a 'ringtone' from the apple itunes store - as a ringtone, but it is showing up in my itunes library as music. How do I get it over to tones and as a ringtone on my iPhone 4s?

I have the same problem! Let me know if you manage to sort it out. My iPad did the same thing but to full restore from iTunes sorted that out. Have you tried that? No such luck with my iPhone.

ITunes Store force closing on IPhone 5 iOS 7.0.2

I have recently encountered an issue with my iTunes Store, it force closes every time I try to open it and this prohibits me from buying songs. Does anybody else have this problem? How can I fix it? And is apple aware of it?

Reset your phone: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

TS3274 Could any IPAD USER please advise how I can go back to the Itunes store/library from the movie, music, etc. page? Only the options for movie/tv/music etc show at the bottom but nothing that will take me back to the side bar. PLEASE HELP, THANKS?

Could any IPAD User please advise how I can go back to the Itunes/Library/Devices side bar from the music, tv, movies pages? The only thing that shows at the bottom are the selections for music/movies/ etc. Thanks

You don't get a sidebar in the iTunes app on the iPad. Your downloaded and synced music, audiobooks and audio podcasts will be in the Music app and your videos and TV shows will be in the Videos app - the iTunes app on the iPad is just the iTunes store.

When will Itunes store be available for buying music? I know it was probably redesigned and all with the Iphone 5 but are they going to open again soon?

When will Itunes store reopen?
It seems to be closed right now due to some announcement of the Iphone 5 and all and redesign. Is it going to open back up for purchasing tomorrow or anytime soon?

If you're seeing a blank iTunes Store, see this support article:

If that does't help, try resetting Winsock. This has solved the problem for some people, at least.
1) Click on your start menu.
2) Go to accessories
3) Run the Command Prompt application. For those with Vista or Windows 7, right click on Comman Prompt and choose "run as administrator".
4) Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
5) hit Enter and it should say something like Winsock reset successful.
6) Reboot your computer and try the iTunes Store again.
Regards.
