Problem buying song: Error -9813

I have been using iTunes for a while but never purchased a song. Recently I have tried several times to buy a song and keep getting an Apple Store error 9813.
Has the iTunes store been having problems or is it something I am doing. I know my password is right since I was able to log into this forum.

Don't know if it will solve the problem, but I found this link:

  • Unable to buy songs - Error 5002

    For the past 2 days I have been receiving Error 5002 "unknown problem with iTunes store, please try again later"...when I try to purchase/download songs...I've tried various songs too.
    I'm not sure what the problem is..I have the most recent version and I had no problem downloading songs a couple days ago..this is out of the blue.
    Any suggestions?

    Yet another Starbucks person who also cannot purchase any songs whatsoever since downloading the free list. I've tried to get my one free song, but haven't been able to do that either. And now when I check to see if I can even plug in the redeem code for the one free song, it says it's already been used. Think if we complained to SBUX corporate about the downside to their "free" downloads something would get done? I emailed apple and have yet to hear back from them. This is getting rather frustrating not being able to purchase songs.

  • Problems downloading songs: error 3259

    I've been very patient with iTunes over the past month while it's been having difficulties downloading my songs. At the begining of the new year, my problems stopped and my songs finally downloaded. Now, I have tried downloading songs again and it's not doing anything. I can download apps and update them, but nothing else happens. I have the most recent version of iTunes and software for my iPod Touch 3rd gen. More important pieces of information: no other software was updated before this problem started and when I run a diagnostics test, it says the secure link to iTunes has failed, but it won't let me click the help button to let me fix it. Please help in anyway you can!

    Same problem. It all started on the week of New Years. I also received a new iPod Touch and downloading Apps is fine on it. I thought at first the speed was due to an un estimated amount of customer downloads, but... looks like I might be wrong. If anyone has an answer please tell me, I've never had this problem since I got my first generation Nano.

  • HT1926 why can't i sign in for itunes and buy songs. it says error 0000000xmething am i missing something and what is an extender player i am missing that

    Hi Bill!
    If the decrypt went without any interruptions or anything that looked like an error then your computer is probably OK. The fact that none of your accounts can log in leads me to believe you may some corruption somehwere else.
    Find your software installation CD or DVD that came with your Mac or that you purchased in a store and insert it into the drive. You can boot to it by holding down the "C" key at startup.
    After you pass the initial screen for language you'll see the software installation page. Ignore this. Instead look under the menus for Disk Utility. Run Repair Permissions and Repair Disk. Restart and try to log in again.
    If that doesn't work then restart from the disk again and look for the menu option to reset an administrator password. If you can get into just one admin account then you should be able to reset passwords for any others.
    If resetting an admin password doesn't work then I suggest you look into using a third party tool such as DiskWarrior from Alsoft <http://www.alsoft.com>. It is an excellent tool for repairing disk problems. If you have Apple Care then you may have also receieved a CD for TechTool. You can run that as well.
    Hope this helps!

    We are experiencing this sudden error now too. Up until last night, we were accessing our Cart. But, then after adding one more song and deleting some from the cart, we got the error and cannot access the account from any machine. In addition to this one, we have a brand new iMAC "24, dual Intel; a PowerBook G4, and a Gateway Laptop running XP. None of the machines can access this Cart. Our other iTunes account is fine, without problem. But, this account's cart is inaccessible. I can find no solution.

  • Can't buy song due to billing error

    My credit card was recently renewed and could not purchase songs. Routed to Billing History and eventually to renewing my "Billing Agreement" between my cc company and itunes, which I did after updating the cc information (of course), prompted with two messages about there being a problem. Tried to purchase a song with same symptoms.
    Updated cc informtion on cc company site, updated Billing Agreement info with itunes on the same site. Opened itunes, tried to buys song again. Receive same symptoms.
    Anybody know what to try next?
    Running on WinXP.
    Thanks

  • Error 42003 when buying songs.

    Whenever I try and buy an album or a song Error 42003 pops up when I click buy. I have recently changed the debit card that I pay with from my parent's to my own, could that have anything to do with it?

    Have you tried following the suggestions for 42003 under the Specific Conditions and alert Messages section in this article : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297

  • I can't buy songs because error 11503 occurred

    I tried to buy songs and whenever I tried, the error message popped up, saying "error 11503 occurred and try later".
    So I tried to go into my iTunes account and send a message or something, but I can't do that either. It says "503 service unnavilable".
    Aaarrrhh, what is wrong with iTunes?

    Here's a possible fix for Error 11503 and for error 50.
    It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.
    I believe this error is caused by the incomplete downloading of either an update to an app, or perhaps a big music file. In my case it was caused by closing the lid on my laptop when I was downloading app updates on a very slow internet connection in a hotel.
    Anyway, here is what I did that fixed it completely.
    Close iTunes.
    Go to this folder : /iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads
    You'll find tmp files there. Drag them out of this folder to a temporary folder on your desktop. The Downloads folder should now be empty.
    Restart iTunes.
    All should be fine.
    If it's not, then I can't help further, but that's what worked for me.

  • -9808 error when buying songs

    I consistently get -9808 error when trying to buy songs from itunes-WHY?

    If I'm remembering correctly, iTunes error -9808 is an error stating that iTunes can not connect to the Store server. Check any firewalls, privacy filters, antispyware, etc. and make sure that they're set to allow iTunes to connect. If this has started happening since upgrading iTunes or a security utility, try removing the exception for iTunes and then re-adding it. And another possiblity:
    Go to Internet explorer ->Tools -> Internet options ->Advanced tab
    Look for the security section and make sure that SSL 3.0 is and TLS 1.0 are checked. Also under Security make sure that the “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” is unchecked. Then click ok and fire up iTunes.
    Hope this helps.
    P.S. You really should update your profile to at least correctly reflect the version of Windows you're using. Users are much more likely to be able to provide useful advice if we have correct technical details about the system you're running.
    Regards.

  • Problem Dowloading Songs From iTunes (error code 8248)

    I recently purchased an ipod touch and it seems that now when i try to purchase certain songs (I kissed a girl, addicted by saving abel) it downloads them all the way to the point where it says "processing file" and then either says iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close, or error code 8248. I have consulted with an apple rep about this problem already and they attempted to reimburse me for my lost money and that didnt even work. So now im out a few dollars and i still cant dowload these songs. I greatly appreciate any help or even any ideas you can give me.
    iTunes is up to date
    I have downloaded and re-installed itunes and it didnt help
    Cleared the temporary internet files
    Tried dowloading it using my ipod touch and it dowloaded and it showed up in my playlists but when it comes time for that song it just skips it or wont play at all

    Hey!
    I've also been having problems with the error 8248, and every time I think I get it worked out, it rears its ugly head again.
    It first happened after I performed my last iTunes update, as someone else mentioned. It was during a multiple download, a bunch of songs went thru fine and then a few were flagged with the 8248. I was initially credited twice, tried some troubleshooting & reconfiguring each time per the helpful iTunes rep's suggestions to no avail.
    Then, I searched the internet to find a solution, came here & saw the suggestions.
    So far, I've removed VCast & Spybot, turned off both my Symantec & my firewall...with an unsuccessful attempt (and subsequent re-credit to my acct) between the VCast step & disabling my firewall.
    I did successfully download 10 songs after I disabled my firewall, so I assumed the problem was solved. Then I tried to use my credits for the 5 remaining songs from the original download and the whole batch got an 8248 error. Well, my son was on his computer at the time, which shares my connection, so I eliminated that variable (not my son, just the computer use ;^) and tried again this morning...no luck.
    WHAT is left to do? Why will it work sometimes and not others? And HOW can I talk to a real, live person to troubleshoot this?! Going thru e-mails has been extremely frustrating, not to mention taking a very long time between attempts.
    I have 2 kids just itching to use their birthday gift cards, to boot!
    HEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!
    <argh!>

  • I receive error message "Unable to connect to iTunes store" when trying to download updates to my iPhone4. No problems buying new apps.

    I have just started receiving the message "Cannot connect to iTunes store" when I attempt to download upgrades to previously purchased apps. However, I have no problem buying new apps from the iTunes store. No issues with wifi or connectivity.  Does anyone have any ideas or fixes? Thanks.

    1st. Turn off your phone and back on.
    if that does not work, do a reset by holding the on/off button and the home button until the Apple logo comes on.

  • Error -201 buying songs from ITunes: download fails

  • IMS: Cannot connect... error -9813

    I have QT 703, and iTunes 6; I have my Firewall set in Sharing to accept iTunes. I cant even find the definition of -9813...
    Not only can I NOT buy songs-It wont even let me open an account!(same error)-was testing...I have one.

    well, they had d*mn well better get this fixed-either by 10.4.3 or iTunes 6.01-It just amazes me that they issue updates that fix one problem, only to create another.
    I thought the whole point of APPLEs mono system structure was to avoid these problems
