ITunes store gets buggy with Genius on, won't register mouse clicks?

I am having a problem in the iTunes store on my MacBook Pro. If I turn on Genius, iTunes ends up not responding to my mouse clicks. I will have to click multiple times in quick succession to get it to register the click, then often those multiple clicks will finally register and it will tell me I've already purchased an item (several times) because the clicks will finally get recognized.
Anyone else finding Genius to cause problems with their mouse in the store? At least, I think it's Genius, because when I turned it off, my mouse clicks were once again recognized on the first click.

Hi,
I had the same problem once in a while, until I noticed that it was not actually an iTunes issue.
Don't ask me why, but I noticed that iTunes did not have the "focus" (in spite of the iTune Application label that shows that iTunes is the front app). So "double clicking" is a way to first get the focus, then click. Then iTunes' main window loses the focus again. Again, don't ask me why.
My solution is to CMD-TAB until iTunes is the front application and then single click works again.
So pay attention the next time it happens and see if it works for you.
I hope this helps.
/p

You will not get recharged if you download them from the Purchased section of the iTunes Store and you are signed in with the Apple ID they were originally purchased with.

I have also the same issue with iTunes on pc, with -50 error.
Is this an apple server error?!

Thom_d, you mean your 4s work smoothly? my 4s also 32gb look to be more laggy especially playing asphalt8, infinity blade2, etc... the graphic will stop for few second while you racing.. Are you sure you didn't encounter this kind of problem? About battery life, it only last for 5hours without 3g services(only using wifi). Pretty shock saw what you mention above.

Dakota-- I received a notice from them once about the same thing.They just want you to spend some more.All I have ever done is buy and redeem itunes cards.When I do that,I have a credit balance.To "access" your credits,you simply need to buy something.

See if any of the following fix it.
Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

HT2589 I keep getting the message that the itunes store is temporarily unavailable. It won't process the order after all information is filled out.

After I type in my visa info, I get the message that the iTunes store is unavailable temproarily. What can I do? Is this something that happens often?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

ITunes Store Not Loading with no error message and have gone through all online support procedures

Hi I am trying to conect to the iTunes store here in NJ via my laptop and my school's Wifi network, but nothing ever happens...
I click on the iTunes store button and it comes up with the loading bar at the top of the screen where the song time marker would be, but nothing ever happens. It just loads and loads and loads, I don't even get an error message...
I have followed all the iTunes online support procedures for trying to reslove the issue including: reinstalling iTunes, wiping the ipconfig cache from the run dialogue box, adding iTunes to the firewall "allow" list, and even running the iTunes diagnostic for store connectivity. The diagnostic comes back saying that everything is fine but that iTunes cannot make a secure connection to the store, when I try to follow the help button from the diagnostic, iTunes tells me that it cannot connect to the internet and to make sure that my computer has all network cables plugged in etc. but obviously that is not the issue, or I wouldn't be able to be online to post this message...
I know that it has nothing to do with my campus' network, because I am able to view the iTunes store via my iPhone 3GS on the same network.
I am using a Dell Precision M6300 with an intel Centrino Duo and Windows XP service pack 3.
HELP!!!!!

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

How do you get to the DOS prompt so that you can type in the info to help get into itunes store??? One post said search cmd, right click, run as administrator but where is the search cmd??

Have been struggling for days trying to get into the itunes store. Have contacted support with no help. I have been reading how some have typed something into a DOS prompt and have resolved their issues. One stated to "search cmd, right click, and run as admininstrator" but where is this? There was also a post about typing something into the DOS prompt....how do I get to this? Can someone please help??? SOOOOO FRUSTRATING. Thanks much...Carrie (Mike's wife:))

One stated to "search cmd, right click, and run as admininstrator" but where is this?
In the search field in your Vista start menu, type cmd
Next, right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".

ITunes crashes when I access iTunes Store/get Microsoft error message

I run iTunes on XP. I can open/play/synch iTunes just fine.
But over the last two days, as soon as I access the iTunes Store, I get a Windows error message (that iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close, etc.). The event viewer indicates that the faulting module is usually an Application Error ("Faulting application itunes.exe, version 9.1.1.12.faulting module webkit.dll.version 5.31.22.7, fault address 0x000f24de") followed a few seconds later by a problem with the Bonjour Service.
The odd thing is, I can log into iTunes Store to check the details of my account such as credit card billing address.
I reinstalled the latest iTunes but that's not fixing the problem.
Help!

TS2972 I downloaded text me ap from the itunes store onto my computer but it won't open, how do I use it?

Hello I just downloaded "text me" ap from the itunes store to my desktop computer, but it won't open!! How do I use it? I tried right clicking and double clicking but nothing happens... Please advise.

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

Itunes store locks up with no error message

I can move around the itunes store for a while, browse, download, etc. But sooner or later I click on a link (doesn't seem to matter what link)and itunes will not return....ever! The itunes bar shows the store is being accessed. Any thing else I'm running also becomes very slow. I can close itunes and open Task Manager and I notice itunes is still using 99% of my CPU. I've loaded itunes and ipod to my laptob and get the same problem. Any body else having this problem. I'm running the latest versions of itunes and quicktime.

I am also having this problem. It doesn't happen everyday, but the days that it does I can only go so far into the music store before my CPU hits 100% and the itunes application uses around 50,000K of memory thus causing the program to freeze. I have the most recent version of itunes, I have turned off my security program and all other programs, and I have plenty of memory left on my computer, so perhaps it is a problem with the program itself. Could it be an issue with wireless connections? Is there anyone who has figured this out yet??

My itunes store, app center, safari and mail won't work after upgrade

I am very dissapointed in the new maverick upgrade. My app center, itune store, safari, and me mail won't work with the new upgrade. I called the help desk and they had me uninstall and re install the upgrade. he said i should have everything backed up cuz I will lose everything, but nothing was lost. It worked for a day, but now it doesn't work at all. it just gives me the hourglass circle symbol and finally times out. A couple of times my computer gave me an error code that i wasn't connected to the internet, even though I could use chrome no problem. Another error code I got was that I wasn't signed in, but I am. Any suggestions?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Now not able even to connect to iTunes store- to do with iTunes7?

over the past few weeks i have been able to at least search iTunes music without upgrading to iTunes7- starting yesterday, though, & all through today, i can't even get that far- get an error message which says the store may be busy & tells me to check my connection to web- my connection works fine for all other sites- is anyone else getting this? could the fact that i have a very old version of iTunes (4.7.1) have anything to do with this?

multilogue,
Even though you still get other internet fine, try "cycling the power" on your cable modem/router..
For example, if you have only a modem, power it off by removing plug from AC outlet, wait 30 seconds (at least), then power it on and restart computer.
If you have a router, then power off modem and router, turn on modem, wait, then turn on router and wait for at least 30 seconds more before restarting computer and attempting to connect to The iTunes Store
