Newsstand download error & restore purchases failed

HELP!
I'm having roblems downloading my subscribed magazines in newsstand. It comes up with 'error downloading' I have already done the following:
deleted the app & reinstalled - after reinstalling i can't download previous magazines as another error message comes up 'restored purchases failed'
restarted the ipad - several times
checked automatic download is switch on
checked there are no resitrctions on
deleted the app, restarted the ipad and reinstalled the app
reported the problem to the magazine ppl but becuase I subscribed through Apple it's an Apple problem
check the discussions for help - found nothing
Can't report the problem to Apple through my itunes account as the subscription was taken out in June so it's over 90 days old - not helpful Apple!
I can't find any help anywhere and I'm extremely frustrated
Please can anyone help?

I've had this error with my GQ and Mens Health Magazines on my ipad, and this is what fixed it for both magazines.  Go to the "Library" inside each magazine app.  Then click on the gear symbol in the upper right corner, and choose "remove issues from ipad".  Then select the issues that had this error message, and remove them.  Afterwards, you re-download with no probems.

  • Restore purchases failed

    I have a complaint from a subscriber who is unable to download our current edition (E&T magazine), and when he selected restore all purchases, he recives this meaasge "Restore purchases failed". Does anyone know of a solution. John Rooney.

  • "Restoring Purchases Failed" on iPad 2

    I interupted a magazine download in the newstand (Everyday Food).  I couldn't seem to resume downloading so I deleted the app and redownloaded it.  Now it won't allow me restore purchases or my subscription, giving me the error messages "Restoring Purchases Failed".  I restarted my iPad and still no luck. How do I fix this??

    Got a far from satisfactory response from Apple. And here was me thinking that under the Sale of Goods Act, my contract is with Apple. I will write back. Here's the email:
    Dear Christian,
    Thanks for writing in today! My name is Matthew with the iTunes Store and I'll be assisting you with your request. I understand you recently purchased a new iPad and would like to restore your magazine purchases on your new device.

    Christian, I am unable to determine the cause of the inability to restore your purchases, nor am I able to restore your purchases for you. However, you may be able to reach some kind of resolution by contacting the providers of the magazines in question.

    I have just bought the new iPad. I have current subscriptions for Everyday Food and Martha Stewart Living magazines. When I go into each magazine in the newsstand, I am prompted to restore purchased material..I say yes - I want to restore - and I enter my password. Each time I get an error message saying 'restoring purchases failed' - it does however allow me to re-download single issues I have bought but not any in a subscription. I also tried to repurchase the items and then I get told that I already have a valid subscription and asks if I want to restore purchases. I click yes but the same problem I already described happens.

  • Download error for purchased song

    I purchased a song from iTunes on my iPhone but keep getting a "Download error." Any ways to fix this?
    I have never had this problem until downloading iOS 7 in case it is related.

    On a whim I decided to try downloading a different song. This new song downloaded instantly and then the song that kept giving a "download error" finally downloaded. Go figure.
    In case that doesn't work for you, Apple support sent me a message with the following suggestions (though the suggestions don't seem particularly helpful)...
    Thank you for contacting Apple.
    Based on the details you provided, we think you might find the following information helpful:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • TS3297 iPad.    I removed music for storage   That take   re of and all nusic off of keeps on saying download error for purchased music.   Two weeks

    I cannot download purchased music on iPad 2.   Error   It is not a storage issue

    I also had system issues a couple of weekends ago. I had to restore my computer. Once complete I reinstalled iTunes and then set all of my backup files in place (I back up my iTunes folder everytime I purchase something). The problem is, everytime I click on anything I purchased, movie or song, it tells me I am not authorized on this computer. I also am using just one computer and have been using the same one for the last couple of years. I attempted to deauthorized my system by following the instructions here in the forum plus instructions found on the site. After aproximatly 30 minutes I gave up on entering my user name and password over and over and over again. Do you know of anything else I can try? Thank you for the assistance:-)

  • App Store Not Working - Purchases Failing - Error: PMT50016

    Hi Palm,
    I am in the US and for the last week or more whenever I go to try to make a purchase from the App Catalog/Store.  I get the error message 'Purchase Failed'.  When I tap on the exclamation mark/message I get the following:
    'Couldn't Purchase' - The Item could not be purchased.  Try again later. PMT50016.
    I first thought this was an issue with the particular App I was attempting to buy, but I have tried others and I still receive the same message. 
    I've checked my CC on file and nothing appears to be wrong with that.  I've also rebooted the phone multiple times, so not sure why this error would start occurring.  In the past, I'd been able to make purchases successfully. 
    Anyone else having this same problem?....If so, is there a fix?  Is Palm aware of this issue? - Please help.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Spc for SPA122 "Restore has failed"

    Hello
    I'm tyring to extract the .xml config of my SPA122, then edit the .xml and then upload it to my SPA122.
    My problem is that I always get the "Restore has failed." -message when I try to do "Restore Configuration" over the webinterface.
    For troubleshooting I've created this example:
    C:\spa112 conf generator>spc --sample-xml test.xml
      spc: generated SPA122 sample configuration test.xml
    C:\spa112 conf generator>spc --xml test.xml config.cfg
      spc: generated SPA122   config.cfg   len=47552 bytes
    Even with this generated config file by the sample .xml file, I get the same error ("Restore has failed").
    I also tried with several encryption options provided by the spc tool.
    Is there a certain way the file must be encrypted?
    What am I doing wrong?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    regards
    Lenny
