Itunes store is temporarily unavailable - please check back later

Hi All,
Can't connect to iTunes store - "iTunes store is temporarily unavailable" - unable to update any of my IOS device apps - iPad2, iPhone4, iPod Touch. Any ideas? Anyone else going through this?

Same problem for me.
But the problem exists only for my AppleID which is linked to all my Apps.
When I create a new AppleID, my problem is gone.
The same problem I have when I try to authorize my Mac.
With a new AppleID I've no problem, but with my active AppleID I get an error (iTunes Store temporarily unaviable).

    itunes store is temporarily unavailable. please try again later

    Update on my previous post.
    iTunes showed I was logged in, displaying my Apple ID on the screen (left bar where it normally is) but I couldn't access my account, with the same error message coming up again!  (seriously this is total BS)
    I deleted EVERYTHING under
    C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    or YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Some people have had success only deleting everything in the cookies folder
    C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies

  • TS1424 Its says iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable.Please try again later.

    It also says it when i try to buy something.

    Turns out I had the same issue on WIndows (which I do not use a lot ...°.
    Here is how I solved it on Windows 7:
    - Quit iTunes (and Safari if you have it)
    - Openan Explorer window ("My Computer" for example)
    - Well hidden in the upper bar under "Organize" choose "Folder and search options"
    - In the "view" tab, make sure that "Show hidden files, folders and drives" is checked and click OK
    - Navigate to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies or YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies if that is easier
    - Delete everything in that folder
    - (I am not sure this is necessary) you might want to also trash items in the YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Cookies folder
    - Launch iTunes
    - Connect to your iTunes account
    - Smile :-)

  • The Itunes store is temporarily unavailable please try again soon.

    Yesterday I downloaded Itunes onto my family's computer (Windows 8) I have been having problems signing into my account. I can go onto the Itunes store and look around, listen to sample tracks etc.
    This keeps popping up - We could not complete your Itunes request. The Itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
    Well I did and still nothing. I checked to make sure my Apple ID is working (it is)
    Is there anyone who can help me figure this out?

  • 8/27/08 Itunes Store is temporarily unavailable ?

    Is it me or the store's just down ? I can't make any purchase or download anything from Itunes Store, I can't even sign in to view my account any more. "Itunes Store is temporarily unavailable, please try again later." was the message, any explanation from Itunes staff ?

    I am having the same issue. I thought it was because I just updated my itunes so I went back and reinstalled it. No luck fixing the issue. I called apple support and they said that itunes was NOT down. Not sure what the problem is but would sure love someone to point me in the right direction!!!

  • Itunes the itunes store is temporarily unavailable

    I had a hard drive crash on my windows 8 laptop, so I reinstalled windows 7 (as i didnt like 8) I then reinstalled all my software including all the Apple stuff however when i attempt to log into Itunes I get the error message "we could not complete your itunes store request" and on the next line, "The Itunes store is temporarily unavailable, please try again latter".
    I changed my Apple ID, and can log in to all the other services including itunes on  my iphone5 and my ipad mini. I can also log into icloud and even download purchases to my iphone.
    ive removed and deleated Itunes from my laptop and reinstalled but still get the same error.
    ive also tried de and re-authorising my laptop.
    theres obviously a file somewhere causing this problem which is strange as it was a fresh windows install on this hard drive.
    any ideas??
    thanks in advance, Lee.

  • We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

    Please can someone help. I keep on getting this when I try and buy a song or upgrade my iPhone aps. I have got the latest iTunes on my 15" MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.5 (12F37). Last week I changed my password on //appleid.apple.com I could the access my account in iTunes. I have tried to log on to my account / view my account in itunes / buy a song and tried upgrading my apps, but I can't do anything now. it is frustrating. Please, please, please can someone help. :-)

    Unsure if this will help anyone but I had the same problem with the message always coming up when I tried to login: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    What I couldn't understand was that I could log into iTunes online, but not through the iTunes app, becoming very frustrated I went to drastic measures to get everything working again - although I found this post after I had success.
    To add to the issue, my iPhone (4S - iOS7) was visible on iTunes (latest version), but some of my apps had failed to sync (showing grey on my iPhone and being unable to delete them), causing further issues and adding to my frustrations....which attributed to the drastic measures posted below.
    (You may want to try following the above posts before following my method)
    **** Apple support provided me with an email containing many links, all of which didn't really help me, but I'll post anyway, just incase they assist someone else:
    "Dear Luke,
    Thank you for writing to iTunes Store Customer Support, my name is Indra and I'll be assisting to you with your concern.
    I understand that you are unable to login to your iTunes store account and getting message that the iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. I can imagine you must be eager to access your account and I will do my best to resolve this issue.
    Luke, as an advisor for the iTunes Store, I handle issues related to billing, downloading, customer accounts, and the items available on the iTunes Store. Although your question falls outside of my area of specialty, I will be happy to assist you with resolving your issue.
    I have verified that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections. The issue could have been temporary, related to your internet connection, your local network, or your computer itself. If you’re still unable to connect, this article outlines some potential solutions:

    Firewall, virus-protection, and web-acceleration software can prevent you from connecting to the iTunes Store. You might not be able to connect even if the software appears to be configured to allow full access to the iTunes Store. You can use the MSCONFIG utility to determine if software on your computer is preventing access to the iTunes Store. For detailed instructions, please refer to the following article:
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista and Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
    If the articles above don't help you connect to the iTunes Store, I suggest testing to see if this issue occurs while you are signed in to a new user account on your computer. To learn how to create a new user account in your version of Windows, please read the article below for your operating system:

    Once you are signed in to this new user account, open iTunes and try to connect to the iTunes Store. If you can connect without error, then you’ve identified that the issue is with the previous user account that you were using. You may want to consider adopting this new account as your user account and transferring your files from the old account to your new one.

    But if the above doesn't work for you then you can follow my method...in the end, I perfomed the following actions which did work:
    1).  Uninstalled iTunes from my computer (via Control Panel > Programs & Features)
    2).  Located the iTunes folder containing media, Previous Libraries etc (normally located under your Music folder) and simply moved it to my desktop. (can't afford to delete)
    3). Downloaded iTunes.
    4). Plugged my iPhone into my laptop and moved all contents across to my desktop (photo's).
    5). Restored my iPhone erasing ALL data (extreme but desperate measures were required) - you may want to back it up, but I personally didn't have anything that I couldn't afford to loose on it.
    6). Set-up my iPhone (set language etc...) including iCloud, but did not plug it into my laptop.
    7). Chose the following iPhone settings>   
              > iCloud - Contacts turned off
              > Mail, Contacts, Calendars - iCloud Contacts turned off (same end result)
              > iTunes & App Store - made sure I was logged in via Apple ID.
    7). Closed Outlook.
    8). Re-installed iTunes, saving it on the C:> default location.
    9). Followed the normal iTunes install prompts, setting it up as new. (making sure I had NO apps or music - clean slate)
    10). Plugged my iPhone into my laptop, waiting for it to appear as it normally does.
    11). Checked for iOS updates and iTunes updates (all good)
    12). Checked Sync Contacts with Outlook (opening Outlook at the same time) - Calendars I left to the iCloud
    13). APPLY....once sync finally completed (this time SUCCESSFUL) I was able to click iTunes Store and LOG IN.....finally!
    I probably didn't have to perform all 13 steps, but that's exactly what I did to get everything working again!
    There is probably someone out there who will be able to explain why I couldn't login to iTunes, why many of my apps didn't load onto my iPhone correctly, why everything failed to sync and probably able to shorten the above 13 steps to a quick fix.... but for now, everything is finally working and my 48hrs of frustration has come to an stress free end!

  • SOLUTION - iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

    I have had this problem three times in the past few months. I think I've found a solution. (I just posted this solution on a question in the iTunes for Windows forum, but I think there needs to be a thread here for users with an Apple TV.)
    The first time I spent over a week emailing back and forth to Apple Support with no fix. Nothing they tried seemed to work. They tried to tell me it was my Mac or my Apple TV, but I was always able to purchase and download iPhone Apps, songs, and podcasts. The trouble was when I tried to download App updates and TV show Season Passes purchased on my Apple TV. Once the problem started, I would always get the "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later" error. The Apple TV would give a similar error message.
    I knew I had a few iPhone App updates available, but I couldn't download them in iTunes. I made sure all of the Apps with available updates were installed on my iPhone, then downloaded the updates through the App Store app on the phone. This cleared the download queue of any App updates. At this point all I had was TV shows. Within 24 hours the Apple TV was able to begin downloading the episodes.
    The first time I tried this I couldn't be sure that my solution was the actual fix, since there was almost a day between what I did and when the Apple TV began to download TV shows. But, I have since had the same exact trouble two more times and each time I have used this method with successful results.
    So, here's the steps to follow:
    1. Sync your iPhone or iPod touch and make sure all apps with available updates are on the phone/touch. Using iTunes, you may have to install apps that are not currently on the device (but are in your iTunes Applications list).
    2. Using the App Store app on the phone/touch, download and install all updates. Restart the device and sync again to iTunes. This will tell iTunes to stop looking for the app updates in the iTunes Store.
    3. Hopefully, within 24 hours your downloads will resume normally.
    As I said, this has worked for me every time, but it doesn't work immediately. Give it a day and you should see results. I noticed this problem again just this morning, so I tried these steps during my lunch break and now, six hours later, my Apple TV just downloaded the latest episodes of Top Gear, ATHF, and Breaking Bad.
    Good luck!

  • "The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

    We got the "The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." error after purchasing the movie "Tammy".
    Tech support thought we had a connection issue with our Apple TV because we could watch this movie from our computer; that did not make sense really because all the other movies we purchased in the past still worked and we could watch previews for others. This process with tech support took a long time...in the process we reset the Apple TV and a bunch of other things. We finally gave up and watched in on our 27" iMac.
    I do not know how apple security filters on Apple TV, but the Apple TV had been set-up with the original defaults for years.  I clicked on the security and put in a password because that is the only way I could changed the content filter from "PG".  I changed the content filter and restarted Apple TV and I was able to play "Tammy" which was rated "R".  I'm not sure if this was a coincidence, and I do not know why I was able to purchase a movie that I would not be able to play.  Maybe the purchase was allowed by iTunes at the time because they are not checked because the content can be played from other devices like my computer, and the restriction was on Apple TV, but then again, the "PG" filter on Apple TV should have prevented me from viewing to purchase the movie in the first place. Anyway the content filter has been changed and we can watch "Tammy" on our TV.
    Just Sharing...

    Yes, it does sound like software on your comptuer may be preventing you from accessing the iTunes Store. You may want to try using MSCONFIG to determine what software is conflicting. The process is not difficult, although it is a little time consuming. Here's how:

I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?
