Purchase system is down?

For the past two days, every time I try to purchase a song or video I get a window that says that credit card purchasing is temporarily unavailable and to try again later. The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time.
Is everyone getting the same window? This is not a problem with my credit card, which works just fine for other purchases.

me too... not sure what is up

RE: Trade-In System repeatedly down for over a week, causing me to miss sale.

To Whom It May Concern,
I wanted to express my frustration with the difficulties I’ve had with the Video Game Trade-In service at store locations #266 and #274. Last week, there was a sale where you could trade in used video games for an extra 50% store credit. I had several Playstation 4 games that I had wanted to exchange (Madden 15, Last of Us: Remastered, Knack, Infamous: Second Son, and Fifa 14) to take advantage of this opportunity.
The first time I tried to exchange these games at store #266 last week, I was informed that the trade in system was down and that I should try again tomorrow. The next day I tried again and I was informed that, yet again, the system was down. Two days later, I tried again at the same store and was told the system was STILL down. After this I immediately headed to store #274 to try to turn in my games and was informed that the system was down there as well.
Today (almost a week after my last attempt to exchange these games), I tried to turn in my games yet again to at least get some store credit but, after waiting in line for half an hour, I was informed that the trade-in system was down again.
Fed up, I went down the street and exchanged my games at the local Target and picked up a new game there. I didn’t get the best deal, but I was able to accomplish my transaction without a hitch.
I understand that technology can be unreliable and systems can crash, however, I feel that 5 separate attempts at 2 different stores over the course of more than a week (causing me to completely miss the promotion) begins to get a but ridiculous. The staff, while all very courteous, told me that there was no work-around or anything that they could do. I think it would be wise for there to be some sort of fail-safe system in place if such. I would have even loved a simple deduction of the trade-in value of my games off of my immediate new purchases, for instance. However each time they told me this couldn’t be done. As a result, I took my business elsewhere.
I just wanted to express my frustration and disappointment with Best Buy and their trade-in system, which unfortunately caused me to miss out on a very good promotion, and caused Best Buy to miss out on my business. I hope that the trade-in system is updated and it’s obviously problems are addressed so that other customers won’t have to go through the frustrations I have.
Thank you for your time.
-Kevin D.

Hello Kevin-
Having worked in the gaming industry for another company that does trade-in’s on games (but will remain nameless), I really love that Best Buy is able to offer some great amounts and promotions for trading in games. Obviously, that doesn’t mean much to you if you are not able to participate because of system issues.
I apologize that these system issue meant that you ended up missing out on the 50% trade-in bonus. In some situations, stores were able to utilize a different register to process this, but for some, they simply had to wait until it was fixed. Because we have to follow many state, county and city ordinances to provide this service, we generally cannot provide a work around when systems fail.
I am able to report that we believe we have corrected the issue and that our stores should be able to trade-in again. However, I would recommend calling the store first to make sure that they are up and running if you have a distance to travel to the store.
Thanks for letting us know your situation.

System slows down and power up problems

Hi,
I have a Rev A G5 iMac (1.8Ghz, 1.5GB Ram) which has been working fine since purchased in 05.
Over the 5-6 weeks we have been experiencing system slow downs. All applications will start running slower and slower (not heavy usage, mail, safari, BT client running and occasionally iMovie) to the point have to restart.
But when restarting the iMac it will not power up, it starts and 1 sec later shuts down. So I leave for a while and try again, and it will work although the fan is extremely loud.
I was having to restart every few days but now its to the point of a few times a day.
have run hardware test and all is fine...and as do not have applecare want to see if can do anything myself before taking in for a quote/repair.
Oh another thing, the superdrive will not burn via finder anymore only via toast...that started at the same time as the rest.
many thanks
Zara

Hi Zara - have you tried opening the back and vacuuming out several years accumulation of dust? You can also try resetting the PRAM and the SMU and see if that helps.
Please post back,

System Slow-Down After Printing

I recently installed Mountain Lion. Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed a significant operating system (10.8.2) slow down after printing with my Epson R3000 printer. This happens after every printing session. When I say slow-down I mean significant delays and dreading "beachballs" when opening applications, selecting menu items or anything else I should choose to do. I'm left with re-starting the computer to get going normally again.After re-atarting I have gone to "verify permissions" and I get approx "5" pages of permission errors, all associated with the printer library in some fashion or another. I then repair all those permissions and re-start my MacPro. The operating system then works as normal and I can use the computer with no problems (until I start printing again). I mainly use the computer for photo editing with Adobe Photoshop CS6, Adobe Lightroom 4 and Aperture 3.2.
I did not have this problem before upgrading to Mountain Lion (and then to 10.8.2). I did not get "significant" permission errors before upgrading. Since all printer drivers for this printer are handled now by Apple via the "new" Software Update process I can't even re-download the Epson printer driver and start over. I'm completely at a loss as to what, associated with the printer function, is causing these "significant" permission errors and subsequent operating system slow down. My printer is almost brand new and was working flawlessly before Mountain Lion. Let me be clear though, I can print fine. My problem is the system slow down after using the print function which I am only guessing has something to do with the "5" pages of permission errors after printting photos (with CS6/Lightroom/Aperture).
Incidently, I am not in any way a computer expert. Verifying and repairing permissions is about all I know how to do that's why I need help. I also just thought I would try the forums first before going to technical support to see what people thought about this.
Again, I repair the permission errors, re-start my system and all is fine. Any further suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Invoice Purchase Order with Down Payments brings wrong Due Amount

Hello,
I am working on 8.81 PL08 environment and I have this situation:
I issue a Purchase Order and then a Down Payment Request which I pay. When I go to invoice the purchase order the down payment and payment due fields on the invoice are correct.
In the case I issue another down payment request and for the same Purchase Order which closes the amount of invoice then when I go to the invoice and choose Copy From the same fields are not right.
If I go to Purchase Order and choose Copy To the amounts are correct.
So the situation is like this:
- Down Payment part of Purchase Order. Due Payment to invoice correct
- Down Payment full amount of Purchase Order. Choose Copy To from Purchase Order to Purchase Invoice. Due Payment correct.
- Down Payment full amount of Purchase Order. Choose Copy From from Purchase Invoice. Due Payment wrong.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thank you,
Gerasimos

Thank you Gordon,
However I cannot deny to the user that wants to apply that that there is a business case where the vendor demands the invoice to be paid all in front (maybe one installment with the Purchase Order and one with the Receipt of the Goods). So, I would expect this to be covered.
I noticed another thing: When I opened the Down Payments screen on Invoice (where Down Payments are listed in order to choose them) there is a column "Open Net Amount" which brings the correct amount. However, in the column "Net Amount to Draw" there is a wrong figure and that makes the mistake.
Now I can see that I can wright the correct amount to column "Net Amount to Draw" but still I cannot understand why a user should do that.

PSE 10 system slows down when adding files to catalog

I recently switched from PSE 3 to PSE10 and had issues converting the catalog. I never did resolve those so I decided to start with creating a new catalog in PSE 10. My first session of adding photos worked fine. When I restarted the task the next day, I was asked in participating in making the product better by sharing information about my use with Adobe. I agreed to participate and very quickly noticed that my computer slowed considerably when adding photos from my hard drive. The process still worked but I experienced a dramatic increase in the time it took for photos to be added (e.g. the cursor spins for a couple of minutes while the task is working). I went under my account preferences and opted out of the product participation program but the problem has persisted. I rebooted the computer to see if that would help but it has not. I have turned off all media analysis and both optimized and repaired my catalog and while this has provided some improvement, there are still instances where the system slows down. Now it seems that every other folder's worth of pictures (does not matter how many photos) I add causes this delay.
I appreciate any help anyone can provide in determining why this slow down keeps occuring.
FYI, I am running a new Windows 7, 64-bit system with 8GB DDR-3-1066MHz, and 2 TB hard drive.

Have you also edited the Preferences (Performance) to increase the amount of RAM that PSE can use?
Do you have many background processes running? Having a single HDD means that everything running on your computer has to wait in the queue for disk access.
How many photos are you importing?
What file types are the photos?
How large are the photos?

We are on nw2004s SP9.
Can anyone help.
Thanks in Advance

Yes we can send Alters from XI . let clarify one thing here alters are triggred immedaitely when their any failure in Adapter or mapping or etc then immdeaitely it is sendt so theirt is no such things for this "details if the target system is dowm for very long time". it does not differencate it long or short.
If this is possible, will there be/can we configure any links in that mail which will allow the alert mail receiver to 'resend' the failed message once the target system is up ?

Adobe Bridge CS4 Hangs and whole system goes down.

Adobe Bridge CS4 Hangs and whole system goes down.
This is happening when I just finished edition RAW files in ACR and hit DONE, right after that a Bridge hangs, Cannot open Explorer, PC functions are down, cannot start anything, cannot stop Bridge process, cannot properly restart. Only holding power button shuts donw PC forcefylly.
I happens once per 10 edits of RAW files and super annoying.
Pleeeeease help!

No wonder I think this is Bridge.
That is indeed a tempting thought, have you already tried the refresh preferences for Bridge using ctrl key pressed down while restarting Bridge?
But Bridge is very critical in reacting on odd system behavior, so also keep the advice of Station-Two in mind. On a Mac repairing permissions often solves problems, don't know the PC equivalent of this.

Compleat system slow down after current updates

Has anyone learned why we all seem to have a compleat system slow down after the current set of updates? Everything works, but is VERY slow to respond. Even iTunes 7.1.1 plays video choppy now. Audio track plays fine however. Odd.
-Apple //GS

First of all, try repairing your permissions with Applications> Utilities> Disk Utility. Select the hard drive you're running off of and then click the Repair Permissions button.
If that doesn't work I'd do an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Then run the combo update(s) instead of the consecutive ones. That seems to be working for a lot of people, but it will probably take a while.

System slow down after lion update 8/18/11

Has anyone else had a problem with their system slowing down after downloading the system update for Lion on 8/18? My system is not nearly as responsive and is only about two weeks old and have not installed any software other than Microsoft Office 2011 when I bought the machine. Any ideas?

Ok my system is booting and shutting down faster now.. This method worked for me:
First, I repaired the permissions:
1) Open up Disk Utility
2) Select your hard drive
3) Now select Repair Disk Permissions.
Then, I deleted the caches folder:
1) From the Finder's Go menu, select Go To Folder, and go to this folder: /Library
2) Delete everything inside the Caches folder (This might require the Admin Username & Password)
Finally, go to System Preferences and click on Startup Disc then click on your boot drive (In my case I've selected my HD labeled "Macintosh HD Mac OS X, 10.7.1". Now do a restart by clicking on the Restart button. If you don't have a Startup drive selected your mac will waste time at boot searching for a suitable boot drive !
I Hope this works for you as well.
Cheers!

System shut down during F110 payment run

During the F110 payment run, the PRD system shut down. There were 259 items in the proposal and according to the status 42 posting orders were generated and completed. What is the process to handle this problem? Can the payment run be re-started?
It appears that clearing documents were created for some open items before the system shut down but no checks are showing in the check register. Has this happened to anyone before and what steps should be taken to resolve this?

Is it a matter of...
1. deleting the output of the payment run,
2. deleting the proposal
3. canceling the the payment check by check using FCH8 if any occurred
4. reseting and reversing the clearing documents created using FBRA before the system shut down
5. start a new payment run

Auto System Shut Down

Currently I am trying to put together a new computer. I have all the parts needed, and they are compatible. I put everything together, double/tripled checked all connections. when i try to turn it on, it runs for about 10 seconds, then just shuts off. ;( I'm running it bare, i have no monitor, keyboard, mouse, and sound connected. I just turned it on barebone.
I am using:
K7N2 Delta-L Motherboard
AMD 2800 Benton
2x 512 kingston Ram sticks
80gb 7200rpm hard drive
floppy
DVD drive
CD/RW drive
350watt enermax power supply
I have tried taking one of the ram sticks out and turning it on, it didn't work.
I tired getting a new 350watt antec power supply, it didn't work.
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?!?! ?( ;(
Once again my problem is that the system shuts down automaticly after I turn it on. It will run for about 10 seconds then... it's down again.
PLEASE!! SOMEONE HELP!! ;(

CMOS is the chip that stores ya bios info like date, time and cpu settings etc.
It's the 3 pins bellow the small round silver battery.
On my K7N2-L (non Delta) it's jumper JBAT1
It as 2 settings 1 = keep data (normal use)
2 = clear data
look at following X = jumper position o = empty pin
Keep data
O
x
x
Clear data
x
x
o
after clearing cmos (do it with power off on PC or u will fry it) u will then need to setup bios again.
If this still wont boot have a look at jumpers J10 & J11
J10 sets cpu fsb mode
J11 sets cpu fsb frequency.
Look in ya manual it's in there.
Try to get PC to post by setting J11 to
J11 o J10 o
x o J10 not bridged = 100mhz
x
J11 safe mode cpu fsb 100mhz.
It will post then. Just the cpu will be set to a lower speed then it is.
If it posts go in to bios and hit set bios default then bridge J10 making it 133/166 mhz and J11 x
x
o this sets J11 to default 133
reboot and it should post good cpu speed.
Hope u understand all this junk i just wrote
