Persistant problem with iTunes music store

For a while now I have been unable to purchase songs from itunes. When clicking on "Music store" the front page of the store loads, but then within 5 seconds "Accessing music store" starts scrolling across the top of the screen, and this never changes. Clicking on any song titles or doing a search for music does not seem to do anything. Additionally my computer has become deauthorised. When I try and authorise my music again it has the same issues connecting and thus, I cannot listen to any of my already purchased music. I have tried accessing the service with all firewalls disabled but to no avail, and I am at a total loss on what to do.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the reply. I no longer have any download or web accelerators on my computer, and in response to your message I searched my computer for any remnants of these, only finding a few old files. I have now deleted these, but still the problem is present

  • Problem with iTunes Music Playback

    Hi, I like using itunes but im having a problem with the music playback. If i have just itunes running and some background programs i.e. anti-virus playback of music is fine but I want to be able to surf the web, and play my games while listening to music. However when i try to so this the sound becomes muffled, choppy and can skip and slow down all in all its impossible to listen to. I thought this may be a problem with my PC but its not a slow one. I tried Windows Media Player and while browsing the net, playing my games etc playback was perfect. Also ive done everything on this page> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 but still had no luck. Now i will use media play if i have to much i much prefer itunes ans it has all my libary sorted out. Any help would be brilliant.
    Thanks

    Even though you LOVE iTunes, there are many other programs out there that don't require extra software to be installed for it to function....there by freeing up your CPU to run more programs.
    I would seriously look into trying something different that doesn't need to hog so much system resources....until they reduce their program's needs.
    Try something like Winamp or Musicmatch Jukebox.
    You can have your library to show up pretty much the same way that they do in iTunes. You'll just have to read through the user guides to get it exactly the way you want it.

  • Slow Connection with iTunes Music Store

    Hello. I just got to college with a 1.83 Intel Core Duo Macbook Pro that I've had for a couple of months so I am familiar with it. My Broadband Ethernet connection is fine except for the iTunes music store, which is incredibly slow. It takes about 5 minutes to connect to every link within the store, and finve minutes for the initial connection. I have tried all of the troubleshooting suggestions, un-installed iTunes, re-installed iTunes, emailed and telephoned apple care, and this is my last effort. I do not have a firewall, but still the Music store is incredibly slow. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I just screwed?

    Download speed has improved a lot compared to last week. Yesterday I downloaded several albums and it took just a few minutes. I must say it was faster than importing from a CD. That said I must say that there may be some issue with your internet connection. Maybe the ISP is blocking the downloads. Check with your ISP first.

  • Mystery with itunes music store

    has anyone ever seen the following error message:
    iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. An unknown error ocurred (-9807)
    I can connect to hear the sound bites of songs but get this message when I try to purchase anything. I don't have any problem with my other Mac
    Thanks in advance

    I've seen that from time to time. Seems it goes away in time. Could be an issue wth the web server they host it on.

  • Moving country with ITunes Music Store

    Hi,
    I'm about to move from the UK to the US and I was wondering how to change my music store account i.e. create a US account whilst still having the ability to recover music (but not buy) from my UK account.
    Thx,
    S

    you just create a new account when you are in the US and have a US address with either a credit card or a itunes card.
    You UK account will remain as is.
    Puzzled by the recover music from your UK account comment. You only get one download so what is there to recover?

  • Language issues with iTunes Music Store

    Why is it that, occassionally, when I open iTunes, all the Music Store stuff is in German (at least that what it looks like)?
    I've figured out how to get it back to English by logging out and then logging back in, but how does it change when I'm not changing it and I have everything set to English?

    You don't even have to log out. Simply scroll to the bottom of the main store window, there will be a small flag icon with a drop down arrow, click on the arrow, & select the US store.

  • Problems with iTunes Music Folder on a Network Drive

    Hi All,
    I've several network drives, and one of them holds all my music (my itunes folder) - however every time I take my laptop away from my home network, and then, return itunes automatically re-sets the default itunes folder to the internal drive - any idea how I might stop this?
    Thanks

    Are you using Vista/XP or Mac OS?
    Couple things:
    1. In preferences, what is your location of iTunes library set to?
    Is it X:\Itunes Music or something like that where X: drive is the network drive?
    2. Do you have a local "Music Folder" (place where your iTunes library would normally be stored?
    I have some suggestions but need more info. about your setup first.

  • Itunes WONT load the itunes music store!

    i havent had this problem before. its pretty recent that it has occured. whenever i go to click itunes music store the loading bar appears like normal and it just keeps loading. i could let it sit there for hours and nothing would happen... it doesnt say CANNOT CONNECT.
    -I have downloaded the most recent version of itunes so i know that isnt the problem
    Please help
    ~Mike

    I am subscribed to a similar thread and thought I would confirm the information on that one.
    I too have never had a problem with the music store and then, all of a sudden, couldn't connect. I was getting an error message saying iTunes could not connect and I should check my browser. Did that and still nada so I posted on here (not having been able to negotiate the Apple website sufficiently to obtain an e-mail address!)
    It appears that Windows recently put out a load of security updates and this may well be the reason that anyone using iTunes on Windows may not be able to connect. The security patch they have released apparently stops iTunes connecting to the internet and hence no downloads!
    Apparently the Apple bods have said that this is a Windows patch and thus a Windows issue and should be fixed by Microsoft and they don't intend to do anything about it!
    However, I reckon that as soon as someone notices that the revenue from sales has dropped significantly, someone will fix it. In the meantime though, it appears no solution on the horizon!
    Oh how I pine for my Technic 1210's!

  • ITunes Music Store

    Yesterday I updated the iTunes software to version 7.0.2. Since that update I have not been able to access the Music Store. A message pops up stating "Could not complete Music Store Request. The store may be busy." All other internet access routes on the computer seem to be working fine. Is this a problem with the Music Store?

    I think we all need to go here and let Apple know of our dissatisfaction. I know that Apple knows of it's dominant position during the holiday season and I can't imagine why they haven't prepared for it.

  • Syncing problem with itunes after restoring to a new PC from iPod

    My old PC crashed and I copied my iTunes libray to a new PC from my iPod. The libray includes several songs taken from CD's I purchased plus several songs that I had purchased from iTunes. I also "authorized" the new PC. However, when I sync now none of the purchased songs from my new iTunes file will copy back to the iPod. It will only sync the songs from my personal CD collection. I get a message that the iPod is not authorized for these songs. Any suggestions for a fix?

    Try deauthorising your PC and authorise it over again, this can sometimes clear a "not authorised" problem: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • Itunes\Music Store Problems -Any Help Appreciated

    Recently apple gave us (yes gave) a new intel Imac, after about 4 repairs to the mainboard and PSU on our 1 year old G5 Imac. Needless to say we were quite happy. Well after about 2 weeks and I think this coincides with a couple of the recent updates, Itunes started to randomly lose songs. they would deauthorize randomly and then increment the same. Well we resorted to contacting apple (under apple care now...) They have been no help nor has itunes\music store support. To their credit they have been willing to deauthorize the computes on the account 5 times in as many days. Although the emails asking the same questions over and over are quite frustrating. Currently the symptoms are:
    1) Random incrementations on authorizations for one computer
    2) Out of Memory error when you try to authorize until 5 authorizations are reached
    3) Music Store -50 error
    I have checked our router and cable modem etc no problems there, I can turn off the hardware firewall and no changes are had. I don't have any suspect software running, and have removed any itunes related widgets etc. Most recently I have rolled back itunes to 6.04 but still no dice. My wife (whose computer this is) is at her wits end as she is a tried and true "mac-girl" and has managed to convince almost everyone we know to switch or at least grab an ipod and go.... Needless to say she is currently regretting that... If anyone has any ideas please let me know I am currently sitting on $300+ of music I can't even get burned to CD or listen too. Apple tech support etc has been pretty worthless and it seems like these errors are rampant atm, you would think a "We're working on it" would be coming. Oh well Thanks in Advance.

    Intel IMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I did repair the permissions as I have learned you are suppose to. The firmware should be up to date as well. With regards to a b\u when the G5 was acting squirrelly the last thing I did was purchase an external HD to ensure that we ddidn't lose the music. Is the common problem the 10.4.7 update or the Itunes 6.05? I have rolled back to Itunes 6.04 but haven't touched the OS. It's not something I really want to do but at this point will try almost anything.

  • I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

    I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

    WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
    Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.
