Itunes store suddenly won't let me buy music - I click on "buy" and nothing happens

Up until today for some reason I cannot purchase music from Itunes. I logged in this morning and added a giftcard I was given and also updated my card details as my card had expired. I click on any other link in itunes so for instance to hear a sample of a song, but when I click "buy" absolutely nothing happens. I have checked that current itunes is updated which it is, however it is not the latest version as my software does not support the latest version - but this shouldn't affect my ability to purchase music, as my parents have an older mac computer and are still able to purchase. I have not therefore updated any software today as I am up to date as far as I can be on this computer. It was working fine a couple of weeks ago when I made some purchases - I have no idea why it is not working now? Perhaps Itunes itself is having problems?
Any suggestions?
Help much appreciated

AlexCarey, I've been having issues purchasing recently and place a number of calls to the support team. On Oct. 5th, and on my own decision, I went into my itunes profile and re-entered my credit card expiration date and security code. (Notice, it is not displayed for safety measures.) Today, I received an email from Apple support verifying if I made changes made to my account. For the heck of it, I logged back into itunes; click "Buy". It's working again after three days of failure. However, diagnosis still displays "Secure link to itunes store failed". Very confusing state of affairs, lately. See my post on "Itunes dilemma"

Premiere Elements 13 won't launch in Windows 8.1 (Click the icon and nothing happens)

I'm running the trial version of Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64-bit. It's a brand new PC built for video editing. Everything worked perfectly for about a week and all of a sudden I'm unable to start the program. I click the icon and nothing happens. No splash screen, no error code, no spinning circle cursor.
I have the latest video card drivers for my graphics card.
I've tried uninstalling the program, removed every last Adobe file from my PC, uninstalled all instances of Microsoft Visual C++ and reinstalled Adobe Premiere Elements 13. I tried the same with a fresh download of the program. Neither worked.
I've tried installing a couple .dll files based on a similar thread (where a program called iLivid was the issue). I don't have iLivid on this PC and adding the new drivers didn't work.
For the few days that the software was working I loved it and was ready to purchase. Unfortunately I won't be able to buy it until I can get it to launch on my PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

My major problem was with the reliability of the uninstall reinstall of Premiere Elements 12 Windows. I did not encounter any issues in this regard with 11. And, I have only looked at the 30 day tryout of 13 from Adobe. My computers are Windows XP 32 bit, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8 and later 8.1 64 bit. The following describes what got me through the worse of these hassels.

I am not sure if the above will work for you with 13. But, it would be worthwhile to check them out.
Since you are dealing with current version 13, it might be a good idea to get Adobe via its Adobe Chat involved, with the hope of some remote control of your computer troubleshooting to try to get to the core of the issue. Chat Panels have been hard to come by for some of these issues, but let us try this route.
Please click on the following link
Contact Customer Care
Premiere Elements
Adobe ID and signing in
Adobe ID, sign in, and account help
Chat Panel
If the link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
Depending on the outcome....if you purchased Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe direct within the last 30 days, you can request your
money back from Adobe. If you purchased elsewhere, then you are left to deal with the return policy of the seller.
We will be watching for further developments.

My Mac Hard disk recently broke and was replaced. Now, although my computer is authorised in itunes store, it won't let me re-download purchased items (esp OSX Lion). How can I make computer re-download previous purchases?

Never mind - I didn't realize that I just needed to wait a while for the Cloud stuff to cycle through and load. Solved!

Believe we have same problem, you need first to spend the money you have on your account before moving to a different one. My issue is that have only one dollar and can't find anything for that amount to buy

I can't connect to the itunes store. I've tried everything in the articles for trouble shooting and nothing works. My library comes up, my ipod syncs, and I get no alert messages. I'm running Vista.

I bought a book on iTunes (pamphlet on upgrading to Mountain Lion) and I double click on it and nothing happens.

I bought a book on iTunes (a small pamphlet on upgrading to Mountain Lion) and I double click on it and nothing happens. iTunes store does indicate that the file was downloaded.

I am not a hundred per cent sure but my guess is that you have to sync that pamphlet to an iPhone or iPad to read it just like ebooks

Hello there, gleab.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews the ways to import content into iTunes:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
Also keep in mind which formats can be added:
You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

I have an email that is sent but won't disappear from my screen. I push cancel and nothing happens. I can't get back to my accounts. What do I do ?

I have an email that won't disappear from my screen.
I push cancel and nothing happens.
I can see my accounts "behind" the email but I can't access them.
I have turned machine off and on again.
What else?

Go back to your homescreen, then completely close down your mail app by double clicking the home button to open the multi-tasking bar. Hold your finger on the mail app icon and then click the red circle that appears on the left of the icon.
Once you have done that, reopen the mail app and you should be sorted.

I click buy and nothing happens

i click buy on itunes and nothing happens, literally nothing at all

I too had this problem after I redeemed two $50 gift cards. I solved the problem by uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it. Give it a try.

After an update, I keep getting a pop up that says accessing itunes store. It will let me find music but keeps interupting with the pop up. When I try to buy music it eventually says session timed out, try again

It will bring up the store but I keep getting interupted by the pop up. I can find music and then when I try to buy it, everything is ok and then it says my session has timed out? I have had itunes on this computer for a couple of years.

had a lot of trouble with this too. I had tried everything, from the internet time zone changing, restarting computers, physical time zone changing, firewalls, all that, and nothing worked.
but i just tried this and it worked.
1. in iTunes, go to Store, then go to authorize computer
2. sign in with your AppleID, and authorize your computer to purchase iTunes stuff.
that's it.
I scoured the internet and found nothing that said that had that as a solution.
hope it helps

My itunes store wont open to let me buy songs

my itunes store wont open

If a solution is found I hope someone posts it soon. I have followed everything iTunes has asked for: new account, new pass, new info, and finally upgrade to iTunes 10. After attempting to Download 10. I was told that my iBook did not meet the system specs. I had looked earlier and found no sys specs, so I presumed it would download. I was wrong. After going through all of that I still cannot access the store. I had none of this problem a mere 2 weeks ago. So somebody please post a reasonable solution.
thanks,

ITunes/my phone won't let me put music on my phone? I can see it but it won't let me select it in "on this phone"

Hey there,
I have had my iPhone 5 since October and every time I would do an update the phone would crash and I had to start from scratch every time (thank god for back ups). So I finally got the chance to switch out my phone at an apple store about a month ago. Since then though, I have not been able to sync any music on to my phone. I have tried the newest versions of software possible, tried restoring my phone from the last back up of the old phone and other various things I could think of. Even when I got to the "on this iPhone" tab, it shows me all the music that is supposed to be on there. Problem is that it is all unselected and it won't let me select them. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
