Itunes store temporarily unavailable when trying to purchase song, pc running windows 8 itunes 11.1.0.126

Just updated my itunes to 11.1.0.126 and I can't download songs from the itunes store. I'm running Windows 8. I'm able to go to the store but when I click to buy it asks for my password and then I get a message that says. Itunes store temprarily unavailable. Please try again later. I'm able to connect via my mac air.
Anyone have any help for this.

Perhaps this can be of help:

  • When trying to purchase songs on my itunes with a gift card, its telling me i have to have the correct billing information on my debit card which I know is correct already. How do I go about fixing this?

    When trying to purchase songs on my itunes with a gift card, its telling me i have to have the correct billing information on my debit card which I know is correct already. How do I go about fixing this?

    Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
    Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).

  • Why do I REPEATEDLY get "Activation server is temporarily unavailable"  when trying to complete iPhone 3GS Restore?

    Why do I REPEATEDLY get the message "Activation server is temporarily unavailable"  when trying to complete iPhone 3GS Restore? I live in Italy and am using an unlocked phone originally sold in the US.

    You can restore while in DFU mode

  • I keep getting an invalid address when trying to purchase songs.  All the information is correct - it just send me in a circle

    I keep getting an invalid address when trying to purchase songs on itune.  All the information entered is correct.  I have tried on my iPhone, iPad, iTouch and on itunes.

    THE FIX: your credit card address AND spelling of your name must match iTunes.
    Please don't google or read other blog entries on the Internet telling you to use a restaurant address or those that are telling you apple is doing address validation. They are all written by 17 year olds who pick up the first thing and re-post. Why do people try to "help" by authoritatively posting an answer? The mass of them are ruining my google searches. :-)
    Apple is now validating whatever ASCII that you told your credit card company. It's not just address validation.
    Name AND address must match.
    Then it worked for me.

  • App Store keeps Crashing when trying to purchase Mountain Lion.

    Help! I've tried everything. I am using a Mac OS X 10.6.8. I am trying to buy Mountain Lion off the app store to update my OS so I can purchase Pages but everytime I open the app store and click buy the color wheel starts spinning and the app store won't respond.I have to force quit everytime. I tried to purchase some free apps to see if they would work and I'm getting the exact same problem. I've researched several solutions and have had no luck. I called apple and they said it could be because everyone was updating their iphone so try at non peak hours I did that and still no luck. I don't think thats the problem anyway. Any solutions?

    You could also try enabling the debug menu for the App Store, using the terminal command below:
    In there it gives you the option to delete cookies and reset the app... This might help you.
    Nobody knows for sure what these options do, but it has never caused me any problems. However, be very careful not to click around too much, it may damage your machine.
    Quit App Store.app
    Open Terminal
    Type "defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true" (without the quotations)
    Hit ENTER
    Relaunch App Store.app
    Locate Menu and select the appropriate topic
    Close & relaunch App Store.
    Fingers crossed it will work for you.

  • Error "fork failed: Resource temporarily unavailable" when trying to login

    I have a problem with a PPC-based server running OS X Server 10.4.11. Suddenly I'm unable to log in via SSH or use ARD (remote desktop) via the admin user account.
    In SSH it shows "Received disconnect from 1.2.3.4: 2: fork failed: Resource temporarily unavailable" as error message.
    Interestingly I can login directly via root. I wonder how to solve this, just waiting some time, rebooting server, any deeper insight would be welcome ?

  • Error when trying to purchase songs with iTunes account

    Hi, is anyone able to help with this.
    I am tryig to purchase some songs with my iTunes account (it is inn credit by about £6) but an error keeps coming up every time i try to purchase a song or if i try to view my account details. It is as if i am putting the password in wrong but i know that i am not. I have even reset the password now 3 times and it always seems as if it has gone through successfully but then when i try to purchase a song or view my account details again, the same error is coming up.
    The error message is as follows:
    *'We could not commplete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-9808) There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later'*
    This message has been coming up all day though. Does anybody have any idea if i am doing anything wrong or whether there is a technical fault with iTunes? I have downloaded the updated version as well so it can't be because i have the older version.
    Thanks,

    Welcome to AD!
    The top 4 fixes to itunes error 9808 seem to be
    1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced, make sure that SSL 3.0 is checked and TLS 1.0 is checked. Also under Security make sure that the “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” is unchecked. Then click ok and fire up iTunes.
    2) Time or time zone not correct on your PC.
    3) The culprit was Norton. Ggo to Norton’s Personal Firewall and add the program “iTunes Helper.exe” and set the option to “Allowed” (”iTunes.exe should already be in the Allowed category.)
    4) Delete or cut the preferences.xml file which contains your iTunes preferences.
    Close iTunes if you have it open right now. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes and delete or move the preferences.xml file. For Mac users, there is only one file you must delete or move a to a new location and is located at User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.itunes.plist. Restart iTunes and it will recreate those two (or one) files with the default settings. You'll need to set your preferences back to what they were and then connect to the iTunes store.

  • TS1424 I get the error 'Store credit temporarily unavailable' when I try to buy an album. There is credit available. I have tried re-setting the cache and warnings and logging out of Itunes.

    I get the message 'Store credit temporarily unavailable' when I try to buy an album. There is credit available. I have reset the cache and warnings and logged out of Itunes.

    Apparently there is an issue if you try to make a purchase which is more than the amount from a gift card. It should charge the balance to your stored credit or debit card. It doesn't and displays this error instead. This issue is known by Apple but no fix date was given.
