Music store error message- please help!

I've read previous posts regarding this error- just want to make sure I have the same problem before I uninstall the software. I am able to access the music store, but as soon as I hit the search or power search mode, I receive the error message " Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience." I am having difficulty in purchasing songs also. If I uninstall/reinstall will I lose the songs on my ipod?

i've been tracking the "search crash" version of this error message.
can you doublecheck for us your precise itunes version number? go "help > about itunes" and wait for the version to scroll up from the top. for example, mine says "itunes 6.0.5.20".
if you've got a 5.0.1.4, the standard workaround that has been helping folks has been to upgrade to a higher version (6.0.4.2 or 6.0.5.20).
in the normal course of events, an itunes upgrade or uninstall/reinstall does not affect your music files or library. i've done about 10 upgrades and 3 uninstall/reinstalls without losing a song or a playlist.
that being said, though, it's still wise to have backups in event of disasters. this Buegie post should be of some help with that:

Certificate Related Error Message/Please Help

Today I received an "Unable to verify SSL server pop.gmail.com" message on my Mail server. I transfer mail from gmail to Mail.
"Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificate issued to "pop.gmail.com". The error was:
The certificate for this server has expired.
You might be connecting to a computer that is pretending to be "pop.gmail.com", and putting your confidential information at risk. Would you like to continue anyway?"
In the lower box, it lists the Version, Serial Number, Issuer Name (which is from Zaire, Western Cape, and lists the organization as Thawte Consulting cc and other info, Subject name is Google Inc, common name is pop.gmail.com, then gives a Signature Algorithm, Parameters, etc.
It won't let me Copy and Paste so I have not hit the Continue button for concern of losing that info for reference.
I went to Help which instructed me to do the following:
I'm getting a certificate-related error message
If you get an error message with the word "certificate" in it, make a copy of the message and contact your Internet service provider (ISP) or network administrator. The error message may help them diagnose your problem.
If your mail server uses a self-signed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate, each time you open Mail you'll see an error message stating that the certificate is not valid. You can continue, but you'll see the same message every time you open Mail. To stop seeing this message, you can permanently accept the certificate.
To permanently accept a self-signed SSL certificate:
Click the Show Certificate button in the error message.
The certificate appears with a certificate icon in the upper-left corner.
Hold down the Option key and drag the certificate icon to the desktop.
Double-click the certificate icon on the desktop, and choose X.509 Anchors from the pop-up menu. Click Add.
The certificate is permanently accepted.
You must have permission to administer the computer for this procedure to work.
For information about encryption, click "Tell me more."
Instead of asking for the "580 Anchors" , it asked simply "Do you want to add the certificates from pop.gmail.com.cer to a keychain?"
I clicked "Add"
The pop.gmail.com certificate AND Thawte Freemail Member AND Thawte Personal Freemail certificates is now entered in my Keychain.
There are no dates listed under "Created" or "Modified" for those certs under Keychain.
IS THIS OK OR DO I HAVE A PROBLEM SINCE THESE THAWTE CERTS ARE LOCATED IN ZAIRE???
IF IT IS A PROBLEM, HOW DO I FIX/CHANGE/OK/DELETE/MODIFY, ETC. IT? PLEASE BE CLEAR.
CAN I/SHOULD I JUST DELETE ALL THREE/SOME OF THE CERTS NOW IN KEYCHAIN?
WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO GET MAIL AS BEFORE THIS MESSAGE IF DELETE THE CERTS?
I believe this is the first time I have received a message concerning certificates so I am naive concerning this.
THANK YOU.

I had similar gmail/cert problem yesterday - not for the first time!
I deleted the prefs (user/library/preferences), deleted the gmail account (mail prefernces), ran applejack ( http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ ) & added the account from scratch.
Annoying I know, and my inbox was 200+ emails but nobody seems to know what or why this happens (my previous post) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=243186&tstart=0
Perhaps this is related to certain emails (an email scam), i run 3 macs & the mail account on the affected machine receives my business email & this is the only machine the gmail/cert problem occurs.

Error Message - PLEASE HELP!

I've always been able to use my iPod with my computer since I got it. Just yesterday it was working fine but when I just plugged it in now an error message popped up:
iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod.
I've already done that but it still doesn't recognize it. All I've done since yesterday was listen to music and I even restarted my iPod. Please help me if you can.

Cannot access music store - error message 404

ok- i guess i'm looking for an explanation more than a solution. while trying to download a song (as usual) this morning i received an error message for the first time ever. "cannot access music store. please try again later. 404" ... for 2 hours i searched the net for a solution, checked my firewall, even joined this forum. right before posting this message again, i tried to download the song so i'd be able to explain the error message in this posting. but itunes decided to work.
my question-- does itunes sometimes time out because of heavy traffic? will this problem lessen if i upgrade to a newer version? (btw- how do i do that? i checked off "dont remind me again" when the pesky reminder would pop up... now i want to upgrade.)

Hi - I have the same problem. With the additional wrinkle that I can't close iTunes when it can't connect to the Music store. I have to use Task Manager to kill it. I am totally fed up with Apple for their lack of support on this. However, I have had one thought though: I notice that iTunes registers itself with Windows Firewall as an exceptional program that is allowed to receive incoming network connections. I don't object to that - but the thing is I am using a network modem which has its own built-in firewall. If iTunes has to be able to receive incoming network connections, don't I have to configure the network modem's firewall to treat it as an exception too? I have just done a search for "iTunes Firewall" in Google and it came up with loads of promising looking stuff. I will investigate further.

"iTunes could not connect to the Music Store" Error Message

Hello all,
I finally got my script running correctly and I can see the front page of my iTunesU site(Yay!). But I am getting an irritating error message, and what is unusual are the circumstances under which I see the error message and the circumstances under which I do NOT see the error message. Allow me to elaborate.
Scenario #1
I have iTunes open on my computer. I go to the login page I created on my school's website and login. I watch as the "Music Store" page on iTunes gives way to the front page of my iTunesU site. Perfection! This is the behavior I want!
Scenario #2
I DO NOT have iTunes open on my computer. I go to the login page I created on my school's website and login. I watch as iTunes begins to open and then spits out this error message:
"iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. An unknown error occurred. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
There is also an error number attached to the error message but it changes from time to time with no explanation. Here is the strange part. If I just hit "OK" on the error message my iTunesU site opens fine.
I've tried this on my home and work computers and a friend's computer and the behavior is the same. Moreover I surfed over to the Stanford iTunesU login page: http://itunes.stanford.edu/ and I get the same behavior(which pretty much rules out in my mind that it is a problem with my script).
I guess it isn't a huge deal. Worse comes to worse we can tell the students and faculty, if you see an error message from iTunes just hit "OK". But I'm rolling out this slick new iTunesU site and this error message is like a scratch in the paint job. Plus my boss is looking over my shoulder like "what's that error?" and it is starting to detract from the computer whiz kid image I've worked so hard to cultivate
My possible suspects are:
iTunes - (Went over to the iTunes discussion board and a lot of people report similar error messages when trying to get into the Music Store but I couldn't find anyone who said hitting "OK" made it possible to proceed)
My script -(seems unlikely since Stanford has the same problem)
The configuration on the computers I've tested it on - (But I've tested it on three different computers!)
iTunesU - If this is the problem I'm hoping you people can help me.
So has anyone else experienced this?
Try to login into your iTunesU page with and without iTunes already open. See any error messages or weird behavior?
Try the same thing on Stanford's site: http://itunes.stanford.edu/
If you can repeat my result then post it here so Apple will know this is an issue. If you can't repeat my result then post it here so that I might know I need to look elsewhere for the problem.
Thank you for your kind attention.

I'm seeing this error on some, but not all, of my Windows XP machines. On my personal development XP box, I see this error if iTunes is closed when I try and access iTunes U via my transfer script or Stanford's.
"iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was terminated unexpectedly. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
The errors occured in IE 7 Beta, Firefox 1.5.x, and Firefox 2 Beta. In each case, iTunes U loaded after I clicked the 'ok' button in iTunes. I did notice that in Firefox's case an additional pop-up window appeared that asked whether or not I had iTunes; when I selected that I do have itunes, it transfered me to iTunes but generated the error.
After getting these errors on my Windows XP machine, I tried it on two different lab machines running Windows XP, and didn't get the error message once -- I tried it in IE 6, Firefox 1.0.x and Firefox 1.5.x and they all worked. It even worked with IE 7 Beta and Vista Beta.
Based on this, I think the problem must lie in how Windows registered iTunes, and the handshake just isn't happening properly.

Music Store Error Message

ANYTHING I click on in the itunes Music Store gives me an error message that reads "We could not complete your music store request. There is not enough memory available. There was an error in the Music Store." Is anyone else getting this message? What does it mean?

first let's explicitly check on your precise itunes version number. go "help > about itunes", and wait for the number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. for example, mine says "itunes 6.0.5.20".
if you've got an itunes 5.0.1.4, try upgrading to a higher version like 6.0.5.20. here's a link through to that installer:

Trying to sync iPhone 4 with itunes and get an error message PLEASE help

I am currently using and iPhone 4. This morning I had synced my iPhone with itunes and it was working fine. I came home and wanted to add some music and such to it and all of a sudden i will plug it in to itunes and i,t looks like its going gets to step 2 of 6 (which is the back up process) and then an error message comes up saying itunes has stopped working, my only option to do is exit the window..
Any ideas why this would be the case? its really frustrating me. I am also not the most computer savvy.
Thanks

Try reinstalling iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If that doesn't help, if you are using a Windows based computer, could be your anti virus software or your firewall that's preventing the sync.

Wrong Operand Type Error Message - please help

I have built a form and I keep getting the message - Wrong Operand Type every time I either try to preview or save to PDF as the file suddenly becomes 90% blank (I can see the content boxes for any date fields in the form and if I click the highlight fields option I can see place holders for all of the content) but other than that it wont process properly. I have tried going through the document and made sure that item by item the fields are all inline with each other, have the same fonts, etc. I even tried deleting out every single item in the form, previewing it, then placing that item back in and moving on to the next to try a process of elimination to see if I could figure out what item(s) were causing the problem, but still no luck.
Please help.

I, too, am having this error message. I read somewhere that it is either because of the font Helvetica Nueue, or because the files is being shared between a PC and a Mac. The quickest fix I have found, is to take the pdf and open it in Illustrator and convert all the text to curves. Then it should work correctly.
I don't think anyone has found a definitive answer.
thanks

NOKIA N80 Internal Error Message PLEASE HELP

Does anbody Know why I Get an Internal Error Message When I Send a Multimedia Message.... Everytime I Try to Send a Picture as Multimedia it Says Unable to Send Message and When I Click Details it Says Internal Error....... Please Help

-----
I thought maybe it was the site itself. Then I tried it with another site and the same problem
well, thanks for that info -- considering this I can´t help suspecting that your ADDT (or Dreamweaver) installation might be broken. For a start I suggest to uninstall/reinstall ADDT first and see if this solves your issues

Help syncing my new ipod - error message - please help

Hi I am needing advice and help.
I have a full library full of songs. I had always been able to sync my old ipod with all my library songs.
I have just purchased a new ipod and tried to plug in the new ipod to load all my library songs on to my new ipod, but only a few artists are getting loaded - only artists that start with a & b is going across. I get an error message when trying to sync the songs on to my new ipod.
The message I get 'attempting to copy to disk'new ipod' failed. An unknown error occured(-69)'
I am wondering step by step and in detail how I can make sure that all my songs from the library are on my new ipod. only a few artists are transferring across.
The thing is my old ipod when syncing is fine and all songs go across! no problem at all. I still have to charge the old ipod as its still in use and it is the same ipod that of my new ipod - the 30gb video 5th generation.
It is very fustrating as I have given my partner the other ipod so they still have full songs when they plug in to sync and when I plug in to sync I only get a & b only, we both use the same computer, same model ipod, same library and my ipod doesnt sync so i dont know why?
Please please help. I really need very detailed and step by step instructions of how to sync the new ipod and make sure all the songs of my library are on my new ipod.
I look forward to hearing from all you soon. Please help! - desperate!!!

ITunes 7.7 - Can't open! Error message - PLEASE HELP!

Hi, I've recently updated to iTunes 7.7 and now I can't open iTunes. I've tried reinstalling itunes, quicktime and even did a system restore, but still couldn't get iTunes to work. Btw, I'm running XP pro w/ SP3. The error message I get is this:
And when I click the "Click Here" link, i get this:
Please help!!

when I tried to open quick time i got a rundll error - an exception occurred while trying to run
In that case the QuickTime problem is likely causing the iTune problem. So we'd better try swapping out your existing QuickTime.
Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
(If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
