    Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
    - Close iTunes, if it's open
    - Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
    - Select 'Security' on the top
    - Untick all the security options in the menu
    - Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
    - Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
    - Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
    - You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
    - Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
    Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
    I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
    I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

  • Ipod touch will not turn on and is not reading in the usb port

    ipod touch will not turn on or connect to my computer

    I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
    ***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

  • How to turn on and shut down Xserve RAID when G5 starts

    Hello,
    Finally i Put my Xsevre RAID in the Aiino ClusterMaster 12U
    connected with the G5 via the two fibre channel and one ethernet to control start up and shut down.
    Since I don't leave the machine always on when not on schedule, everytime I Start the G5 I have to launch RAID Admin, erase the system, add a new one, enter monitoring password (that switched back to factory default), and start the Xserve (and I have to enter management password).
    Is there a Script or something like that that runs automatically when I start the G5 and when i switch it off, so I don't have to do all these steps everytime including unmouting the Xserve prior to shutting It down?
    thank you in advance

  • My iPod touch won't turn on - and doesn't successfully restore

    Hi,
    This is really a last resort, because I feel I've tried everything at MY disposal to fix my issue.
    Problem:
    I have an iPod Touch - 1st Generation, with all updated firmware and updated iTunes to go with it. It simply won't turn on. When plugged in to my computer via USB, it displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen, and I follow the steps to restore it. It fails during restore though. Here's what happens:
    1. The screen shuts off and changes to the Apple loading screen
    2. iTunes starts "Preparing iPod for restore"
    3. The iPod screen shuts off, nothing being shown
    4. iTunes stays on "Preparing iPod for restore" for a minute or so
    5. I then get an error saying "Unable to restore iPod - Error 1603"
    And yes, I have tried recovering my iPod, going into DFU mode, and also going to the help page for Error 1603 and following instructions. The only thought is that the battery is dead, because nothing else pops up.
    I've have the iPod for just under 3 years, and it has worked for the whole time up until a few months ago - the battery was not lasting as long as usual.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    Try a new battery.

  • My iPod touch won't turn on and I don't know what to do?

    My iPod touch was running slow so I decided to shut it down completely and then restart it, but now it won't turn on again. The apple will appear like its starting up but then it just goes black again in a continuous cycle. I've tried plugging it in but it doesn't connect and I've tried letting it run until the battery dies  nothing works!

  • IPod touch will not turn on, and is also dead, what do i do? It wont connect to itunes either!

    MY IPOD TOUCH IS BROKEN.  it was about to die and my charger broke right? so i left it on my shelf, and now im coming back to my ipod cuz i have a chance to charge it and it wont turn on! itunes doesnt recognize it or anything. i've checked the audiojack and its not pink so its NOT waterdamaged.  i've also tried to reset it with the home/power buttons but nothing. D:

    "...it was about to die."
    Do you mean that it was about to run out of power, but because your charger was broken, you could not charge it? Time passed and now you've decided to look at the iPod again.
    Probably, it has simply run out of power and the battery is fully drained. In that case, plug it into power and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only then will it show any signs of life. Leave it to fully charge up before you try to use it.

  • IPod Touch won't turn on and Home button is broken!

    I tried to restore my iPod touch with iTunes, then I got error 1601. From this moment, the device won't turn on. The home button is broken and warranty is expired, so I don't know how to solve this problem. I know people who press power and home button at the same time, (and it works) but as I said, the home button is broken. It was broken long before the restore attempt, and I already tried every single way to fix it.

    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • Ipod touch will not turn on and will not connect to computer!

    Help please!  I accidentally dropped my ipod the other day (it has dropped before and not been a problem) and now it won't turn on or connect to a computer.  I have googled it and tried everything!  It is still under warranty but unfortunately the warranty doesn't cover accidents. Any suggestions?? 

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. It could be that the water corroded the contacts so try to clean any corrosion from them.
    - Then charge overnight and try what you did before
    If still does not work:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs.. They do not fix yours.

    You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:

    or send it in to Apple. See:
