Mac App Store - Session has timed out. Try again.
Keep trying to update to Yosemite from Mavericks, but every time I click upgrade it asks me to verify my information. I put the cc info in, and ever time it tells me "your session has timed out. try again."
i've tried logging out, restarting, all a no go.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.cookies
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
☞ Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
☞ In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
☞ What is the Modified date?
If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

"Your session has timed out, try again." is the message I get every time I try to purchase a song. My last purchase was june of this year, and nothing has changed since then.
I had this problem, but it was because I was clicking on an external link. Try instead going straight into iTunes, then going to the Podcast section. At the bottom of the "Podcast Quick Links" section, there's a text, "Submit a Podcast." Click on this instead. Once I did, I got to the same page as before, but it did process the feed.
Good luck! -
When attempting to redeem a iTunes gift card, I repeatedly get the message, "Your session has timed out, try again." Restarted. Still no go. Ideas?
I had the same, frustrating problem, then happened onto a process that worked for me. I wrote it up in the following post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16900190#16900190
Hope that works for you, too. -

Your session has timed out, try again later
I'm trying to download new apps with the iPhone 5 (restored after backing up the previous iPhone 4) and I'm unable to download anything new. It wants me to confirm the payment info, after entering it, it then states that " your session has timed out, please try again later." I've closed out the App Store, restarted the phone and such with no luck. I am able to "update" existing apps, so the account works, but why can't I download new ones?
Thanks!check if your internet connection bandwidth is sucked by programs like torrents .Shut them off (even when torrents are paused) and try again .shud work

Tried purchasing music from the iTunes Store. When the window popped up I put in my apple id and password. Then I was directed to a 'Terms and Conditions' page. I checked the box next to the 'Yes I agree to these terms and conditions' - then clicked the 'accept' button next page read 'Your Session has timed out. Try again.' with a 'Done' button to click on. Oh the same thing happens when i try to download free iTunes. Yes I have tried & tried it again I even logged off and singed back in-- no joy
After accessing my iTunes account I was not able to change anything like my credit card number when I tried and was sent right to the 'Your session has timed out. Try again.'
The last time I purchased any anything was on September 25th 2011 and the 'terms & conditions' page was last updated on October 12, 2011
Does anyone have an idea to what is going on with my iTunes version 9.2.1 (5) and I can not upgrade to a higher version my iMac does not have the intel processor chip.Thank you for your time and help with this matter. You are greatly appreciatedI am having the same problem also! I posted on here about it, but no one has responded with ideas. I called technical support and e-mailed them, the only suggestions they gave was for the to turn off my firewall. But I didn't change anything, so it shouldn't suddenly stop working. Maybe this is just an iTunes issue? But it doesn't even recognize my account anymore, and I cannot log in now.
If you happen to get an answer, will you please let me know what works for you?
Thanks! -
Your session has timed out. Try again, comes up after i login in and then agree tha policy for bying, What to do? Erik
I know I answered you before on this but can't find the thread. Guess you didn't like my answer. Your phone was illegally hacked to unlock it and when you updated the phone it relocked it back to the original carrier. This made the sim you had in the phone useless and therefore it cannot activate the phone. Nothing can be done in these forums to help you fix your problem as it is against the TOS to discuss illegal unlocking or jailbreaking the phone.

Your session has timed out. Try again.
After loading ios6 I keep getting this message when I try to install a new app: Your session has timed out. Try again. This is after it requires that I pick 3 questions and answers to protect id.
From Apple Support...
Here are troubleshooting steps that should help you fix the problem.
1) Quit App Store in multi-tasking.
2) Tap Settings.
3) Tap Safari.
4) Tap Clear History.
5) Tap the Clear History button.
6) Tap Clear Cookies and Data.
7) Tap the Clear Cookies and Data button.
Try purchasing an app again from the device to get the security question prompt. You really need to set up the security question.

Mac App Store: Your session has timed out. Try again.
Whenever i try to do anything in the Mac AppStore, i get the message Your session has timed out. Try again.
I tried with and without two step verification. It all runs on a MacBook Pro and Yosemite - no updates available in the store to install. Updates, although with a workaround do install, weirdly enough.
I am sorry if this question was asked before. Also the search here does not work today for me. Start feeling like i am using windows ME again…
This is getting really frustrating.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test 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 documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; 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 in OS X 10.7 or later, 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. -
We moved and our address has changed. Also our AMEX card identity has been stolen twice and AMEX has changed our number and security code twice already. Now i am trying to edit my account at Itunes. Every time I try to edit our account at Itunes, I get this message: "YOUR SESSION HAS TIMED OUT. TRY AGAIN" Anything i am doing wrong? How do I get to the accounting department without getting this message?
ThanksI am having this problem too. I recently changed ISP b/c I wanted the iPhone, so I had to update my iTunes username to my Gmail account.
In fact, I logged in HERE using it as my new Apple Id... so it works!
But for some **** reason that is driving me nuts my iPhone will not connect to the iTunes store using my new Apple Id. It keeps saying my email has changed or is invalid and asks me to sign in to change it. So I do that, and it lets me in USING MY NEW Apple ID!!!! Then I go back out to the buy the App and the madness starts all over.
Come on Apple, do you want me to buy your apps, or what? -

I need help with my apps. I try to download apps and I am told to login again. After login then I am to verify my payment info again. Once I do that it tells me my session has timed out.
Could the credit card be expired?
Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.
