  • My ipod touch 3rd gen freezes when using the itunes app looking for podcasts

    When looking at podcasts with my Ipod touch's itunes app, when i attempt to download podcasts from the nerdist podcast, the itunes app freezes and shuts me out for a minute or two. This only happens on some podcasts but not all.

    Okay so, with some patience and some tinkering... It appears to be a problem with the most popular podcasts.  Maybe something to do with so many people downloading it at the same time?  Anyway, I've found you just have to wait it out.  Keep your itouch active and from going to sleep and eventually it will load the podcasts and you will be able to download them.  On average it takes me anywhere from 2 to 8 minutes to get my most popular podcasts, I just keep it on the screen and keep it from going to sleep

  • TS1717 I can't open iTunes. I'd been experiencing frequent freezes when I was using the iTunes store the past few days. What can I do to open iTunes?

    ? I can't open iTunes at all. When I hit the icon, it lights up but doesn't engage to open the program. The past few days I'd been experiencing frequent freezes when using the iTunes Store. Any ideas for how to open iTunes?

    I would copy over the entire thing if you have room.  With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account.  While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases".  If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device.  Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!!  Enjoy...

  • HT201272 I downloaded an album but one of the songs is corrupted, it only plays for about 4 seconds. When I try to re-download using the iTunes Store and "Purchased", it won't give me the option to download it again. How can I get the song I PAID for!!??

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys

    The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys.. I have to restart to continue.
    Does it have to do with the disk utility?
    I already did the disc repair job

    Open System Preferences - Universal Access and check whether 'Mouse Keys' are activated.
    If so, then deactivate them. They could be the cause of your problem.

  • I get the following error when trying to use the itunes store "your apple id has been disabled"

    I get the following error when trying to use the itunes store "your apple id has been disabled".  My account was disabled when someone else had been using it without my knowledge.  I changed my apple id password and the apple id is still fine, but itunes has it disabled.  I verified that the computer is authorized for this apple id.  What to do now?

  • How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari" bc I can't download the latest software?

    How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari". I cannot download this software bc my lap top is to old. The msg literally pops up everytime I make any moves on itunes and is VERY annoying.

    I have a 2006 MacBook with an Mac OS X version 10.5.
    In that case, try downloading a Safari 5.0.5 for leopard from the following location:

  • ITunes for Windows: Error -9812 when accessing the iTunes Store

    So here is the situation. When I try to access our iTunes U site from the public link it works great, when I go thru the link that has me authenticicate it works on macs but on PC's I get the error message "iTunes for Windows: Error -9812 when accessing the iTunes Store" it's happening all thru our campus with PC users. Any ideas?????

    We're having similar connection issues, and the error log on our web server says something about a certificate error. I noted that last year on this date there were messages related to certificates. Is it possible they are updated every Dec 2, and we should count on some down time?

  • 'iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to use the iTunes store within iTunes'

    In iTunes 10.5 on my Mac OS X 10.5.2, this message keeps popping up;
    "'iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to use the iTunes store within iTunes"
    This pops up every 5 or so seconds, so its really annoying if im trying to listen to music. There is no 'don't show this message again' option so its really getting on my nerves! The only way to get update Safari is though a software update and I am scared that if I do a software update, my Mac could crash again, like it did the last time and I had to spend €130 to get it fixed!
    My question is:
    1) should I do a software update and
    2) how can I stop this message apart from updating?
    Thanks in advance,
    Hannah.

  • I recently downloaded the iTunes 11.0.5 for Mac OS X and the iTunes store comes up as a blank page. I have already tried re-downloading iTunes and that didn't work... How can I get it to work?

    I recently downloaded the iTunes 11.0.5 for Mac OS X and the iTunes store comes up as a blank page. I have already tried re-downloading iTunes and that didn't work... How can I get it to work?

    I was able to fix mine. I went to software update and updated a few things. I did not update everything, but only what I thought were the essentials, which I believe was Safari, a security update, and a firmware update.
    Then I deleted and reinstalled Itunes yet another time. Now the itunes store is back up again.

  • I really need help from a human being in using the iTunes store.  4 years ago we got an audio book on learning japanese to play on the ipod.  Now the iTunes store just wants to sell me apps for the iphone or ipad.  I do not have iphone or ipad.  I want...

    Sheesh!  This old man of 70 is really lost in how to use this Apple support community or how to use the iTunes store search.  I do not even know what question to ask.

    Because you stated that you were looking at audiobooks that you could download to the iPod, and talking about apps only being for the iPad and iPhone and none for the iPod. So, even though the source was the iTunes store, you implied that what you were looking for needed to go on the iPod.
    Look, we are not Apple here. We are just fellow users of Apple equipment. We volunteer our time here to try to help people out with issues.
    The reason I needed to know what model of iPod you have was because you were asking about apps. However, unless you have an iPod Touch, there aren't any apps you can purchase from iTunes for it. And that was what I was trying to establish. Now that we have eliminated the option of apps from the discussion, we can focus on Audiobooks.
    As far as Audiobooks go, you can sync any audiobook that your purchase in iTunes to your Nano.
    So, as I indicated in the previous post, if you are looking for Audiobooks then go to the iTunes Store, and in the search bar in the top right-hand corner, type in "Learn Spanish Audiobooks". A list of available audiobooks to learn Spanish will display.
    Best of luck,

  • When accessing the Itunes store on my Touch, I am unable to click "buy now," though I can search and preview items.

    When accessing the Itunes store on my Touch, I am unable to click "buy now," though I can search and preview items.  I have already cleared off and made enough disc space.  Unsure what the issue could be. 

    Logout from your iTunes store account on that device and then log back in to see if that helps
