ITunes store temp out of service...HELP!!!

I have been trying to get on to the iTunes store now for over 24 hours...my message says "*We could not complete your iTunes store request* : The iTunes store is temporarily out of service. try again later"
Is anyone else having this problem!? I am getting quite annoyed!!!

Yes! I'm having the same issue, and it has been coming up for about a week now. It started with an error about Itunes not being available in the US and now I'm getting a message that says "We could not complete your Itunes store request. The itunes store is temporarily out of service. try again later."
I've tried downloading a new version but it times out every time I try to install it. I've also deleted McAfee off of my computer. Not sure what else to do.

I am trying to open iTunes on my windows laptop and it keeps saying that it is temp out of service and to try later. I know yesterday I tried a million times with old passwords trying to sign on and it stated it was locked?

Apple’s having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to resolve the issue.

Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next.

i tried to re download a purchased audio book after i contacted apple support team for iTunes they said it would be ready for re download or they said id have to re download it from iTunes store i cant remember, so i tried both couldn't re download it from purchased menu and the book id have to re download from iTunes store costs money as if i have never purchased what do i do? I don't have any warranty any more or money to purchase another warranty.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have bought 1 MacbookPor 17, 1 Macbook air, 1 MacbookPro 15 , 2 ipads, 3 iphones, and this iMac27 and 2 of iMAC24 or 20 not sure   but I do not recall ever doing what you are telling me in your reply.   When you get a extended car warranty, you don't   sign up for it.. it is just there and is included in the sale.   You don't buy this warranty to use it.. You buy it, in case something happens.   Here a perfect iMAC with minimum 100 hour useage has a dead drive. That is not normal and I should not have to even be requesting anything since most MFG offer a 3-5 year warranty on their disc drives and I believe that is probably passed on to Apple regardless if an extended warranty is purchased or not.   Customer service dictates a more flexible approach to make sure the lifetime value of a customer is not lost due to some misunderstanding.
I was in the MacStore that I purchased the unit..and they found and pulled the invoice and confirmed
the purchase of it in front of me. I had paid with credit card and fortunately it was there in their system.   I do not also recall recieving any box or paper although most everything I ever get remains sealed.. I am not in the habit of opening anything since I have never encountered any serious issues before.
   I have used my Macbookpro warranty 1 time and that is all throughout the years I have been investing in Apple equipment.
I just recieved a letter from the store asking me to get the paper to them so they can register it... I don't recall getting any paper actually. But I do have several boxes sealed here.. On this iMAC27, it was a hurry up and get it done thing and I don't remember taking anything extra with it.   Regardless, my request does not seem unreasonable.
Thank you

ITunes Store won't work! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got an iPod nano 4th Generation for Christmas and I was so excited to start using it! I installed iTunes and set up an account, but when i came home and installed iTunes and signed into my account the Itunes Store wouldn't work. When i click on Itunes Store the home page will come up, but when i try to click on one of the links nothing will happen. At the top it just says "Accessing iTunes Store..." Please help I don't know what is wrong with it. It worked on the other computer i have the account on.

Kendra, does the PC that does not work have anything from Symantec installed on it? If so it is probably Norton security software that is blocking it.
Read this thread - there is a post by WileECoyote33, where they had to download a Norton removal tool to get rid of a trial version they weren't even using! Norton was blocking itunes. It has its own firewall, separate from the built-in Windows firewall.

The iTunes Store IS OUT TO GET YOU.

I just finished watching the 2nd season of Lost, and I thought to myself, "Gee, it sure would be nice to catch the first few episodes of the current season, so that I could watch along with the rest of the new episodes."
And of course, I use iTunes (although I've never used the store before), so I knew I had access at my fingertips. I set up a new account, eager to get to the episodes, and downloaded episode number one. The file was going to take a couple of minutes, so I checked my email.
Suddenly, the iTunes window disappeared from behind my email program. "What the...?"
Check the dock for confirmation -- yep. It's crashed. Gone. Not even the courtesy of an error message. I've been abandoned. I restart iTunes and sure enough, my Lost episode is gone. Check my downloads -- iTunes SAYS it downloaded just fine. And that I'll be charged accordingly. I scour my hard drive for anything resembling a video file that might be recoverable. Nada. Zip. Nothing.
Now, 1.99... not the end of the world. I'm more upset about the episode -- and since I'm not allowed to download it again unless I pay for it once more -- well. I'm a firm believer in the "Fool me once..." philosophy. So I shoot off a nasty email to iTunes store support, and I begin rooting around for the place where I'm allowed to cancel my account -- no point in leaving my credit card information out there in cyberspace if there's no use in it, right?
Yeah. That was a long time ago. Still haven't found it. Either Apple has so effectively buried the iTunes store account cancellation website/hotline #/post address/CB handle that I cannot locate the tiniest shred of evidence that it even exists -- or it just doesn't exist.
Is this legal? If I have an account with a store and they have my personal information on file, including my credit card number, aren't I allowed to cancel that account and force them to remove my information from their records? I understand of course that they can keep the info until they verify the payment on services and products I've already purchased (although 'purchase' usually implies 'receipt of goods'). But I have no long-term commitment with Apple. All they are doing is putting me at risk of financial loss through identity theft. After all, my credit card number is longer and harder to guess than, say, my iTunes store password.
This is all very scary to me. I just want to go to Blockbuster and forget that the iTunes store even exists.
powerbook 17 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Max,
I'm really sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience with iTunes. I've been using iTunes and Mac OS since 2003 and have had great luck. I mention this for a reason, though there are users that have been around longer than I, I've used os 10.2 - 10.4. That being said, I noticed that you're using 10.3.9 and I'm wondering why you haven't upgraded. You may have experienced an error the way you described because of the operation system you are using. I know that sounds far fetched, but actually, it's not. 10.3.8 was good but it had airport stability issues. Soon after it was patched with 10.3.9 and the whole system because solid all the way through. Now Apple builds software to support x number of years of hardware and creates software to function on x number of system versions; however, new versions of iTunes (for example) are going to take advantage or newer OS releases. I've been brave and kept current versions of iLife suites with current versions of OS X and everything has been solid as a rock, I promise. I would have presumed that it was related to Windows XP, which most extreme problems are, but you're on a PowerBook just as I am.
All of that aside, imagine the sheer volume of users on iTunes at any given point. Take all the Mac users in the US and then Expand that to Windows users too. Then expand that to several countries with both operating systems. (Want proof, look at everyone walking around with white earbuds.) I could imagine how it's hard to get a response so be a squeeky wheel because sooner or later you'll get some grease. I'm not trying to tell you, "tough," or anything of the nature. I feel bad that you are uncomfortable with iTunes. I assure you it's been great and I bet if you upgrade to 10.5 when it's released, you'll find less quarks. By the way, I've experienced less of "This app has unexpectedly quit" while using 10.4 that when using 10.3.
Best of luck to you.
Dan

Error: Unable to Check for Available Downloads (Itunes Store Temp Unavail

I lost my Itunes Library to a hardware failure on a PC. Bought a new MacBook. Contacted Apple and they prepared a download of my 517 songs previously purchased (after the yelled at me for not backing up). Anyway, every time I try to download I get the message above. I can get to the Itunes store and downloading a normal song I purchase but not the big download they prepared for me. Any guesses???

I think the problem is that there are too many items. I had this problem a while back. I tried to get it resolved with the normal customer service e-mail, but the 1st line customer service reps were pretty much clueless. I basically had to get mad and pretend to throw a fit so they would escalate my problem to someone that knew what the **** they were doing. That person was very aware of the cause of my problem. She removed all the items from my download queue and then added back a few and sent me an e-mail telling me to download what was in my queue. Once I emptied the queue, I would e-mail her back and she would prep the next batch. We had to do this a number of times to completely get all the items downloaded. I suggested that they allow people to pick what they wanted to download from their queue so this type of thing wouldn't happen, but they still haven't fixed this problem. I just bought several TV shows and season passes, yesterday, and now I am having that same problem again, sigh... I'll have to go throw a tantrum again and see if I can get the very nice lady that helped me last time.

Katrina, yes those are the instructions I used. I just executed the steps outlined three additional times (meticulously) and the issue I have is, at step 14, after restart, I do not receive the "Windows has blocked startup programs" message... System starts "normally", when I attempt to run iTunes I am informed that iTunes needs to repair software required to communicate with iPods and iPhones... Whether I choose to allow iTunes to restore these services or not, the outcome remains the same, "connection timed out" at iTunes store. Cannot download podcasts, cannot access internet through Quicktime either... Other than that Firefox works just fine.

ITunes Store "Blacked out"

Please Help!
I installed the latest version of iTunes and when I opened the iTunes Store, the background is completed "blacked out". I can see the album covers but not the writing underneath.When I drag my mouse across, I can see where the hyperlinks are(due to the change in the mouse) but can't tell what I am clicking on. I can still download music but it is a pain.
I have uninstalled/installed iTunes 3x's now and it is still "blacked out"
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!

If It's the same issue, then tt looks like a solution was presented here:

Itunes wont connect to itunes store-times out

I can use my itunes to listen to music just fine, it just wont let me access itunes store. The message I get is: itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connects are active then try again... I have no idea why it quit working but it did! please help me!!!

There are three possible reasons that you would get a
connection timeout trying to connect:
1. The iTunes Store is really, really busy right
then. Try again later. If this happens all the time
(even times that should be calm, like late at night),
then this probably isn't the case.
2. There's software on your computer that is
interrupting iTunes' ability to connect to the iTunes
Store. You can check for software conflicts by
following the steps in this
article.
3. There's something up with your ISP that is
preventing you from connecting to the iTunes Store.
The best way to check for this is to try to connect
using a different internet connection. (Like, if you
have a laptop, using a public wireless access point.)
So the first two options didnt resolve it, what do you mean try opening with another? I have a laptop-so what should i do now?

App Store And iTunes store Dont Work. PLEASE HELP!

Hi.
About 2 days ago, I updated My Early 2011 13 inch MacBook Pro 10.6.8 to OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. At First Everything was fine, Until I turned my mac on the next day. I tried to access the App Store To Dowload Euro Truck Simulator but it took a while to load until it said "App Store Could Not Verify Connection To App Store" I was very suprised, and went online to look for some solutions but found none about this topic. So then I went onto iTunes Store and it did not work either. It Said "iTunes Store Could Not Create A Secure Connection to iTunes Store. I Am Really Desperate To Find A Solution Because I need it for school. And i need the app store to get some features like Office 2010 and stuff like that. Please Someone Help Me And If You Could Put It In The Simpolist Form Possible I Would Be Greatful. Oh and i am 13 in grade 9 so try not to put any complex things in there, but i do have a pritty goog understanding of coding just to let you know.
Cheers, Alex.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
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. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. 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 the test.

When I turn on my computer,an error message says "AppleSyncNotifier.exe-entry point not found The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll". Can't access itunes store,sync,buy etc. Help...

When I turn on my computer, an error message says "AppleSyncNotifier.exe-entry point not found. The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll" Cannot access itunes store, sync phone, etc. Two weeks ago did this and Apple support had me remove and reinstall iTunes. Doing it again. Help....

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the libmxl2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

I'm trying to update my 2nd generation ipod touch to ios 4.2.1 so I can get some games and stuff for my daughter. I saw on apple suppport that it was available in the itunes store, but cannot find it. Any ideas or help?

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device.
