Purchasing Music lags...... And lags......

Hi,
I use the shopping cart feature in iTunes. But I use it more for a wishlist type thing. So instead of clicking the Buy All button in the Shopping Cart, I just do them individually. But when I try to buy them, after I click buy, a warning comes up asking me to confirm that I really want to buy it. I like the warning, and I'm not asking how to get rid of it.
After I click Buy in the warning, it says "Purchasing (song name)...." And it has the bar twisting below it. And it stays like that for a minute before it says that the iTunes store is temporarily unavailable and to try again later.
After about 10 or 12 back to back tries I finally get it to download. And suggestions?
Thanks,
SM

it also has several things that are no longer availible in the US store.
That's almost certain to cause problems with your Shopping Cart and is why it's not a good idea to use the Cart as a "wish list" for long-term (more than a day or two) storage.
I wonder why they remove them...
There could be a number of reasons why a track shows as not available. The track could have been defective and Apple is waiting for a replacement from the record company, the record company could have requested for some reason that the track be withdrawn, or it could just be an error in the iTunes Store database (with a couple of million tracks, that's not unlikely).

  • Upgrade to 7.4.3.1 - Lost Purchased Music, Playlists and Library

    I upgraded to 7.4.3.1 last weekend. This weekend I start iTunes and none of my 100+ songs are listed in my library, all of my playlists are gone (replaced with the generic 90's Music, Music Videos, My Top Rated, Recently Added, Recently Played, Top 25 Most Played) playlists - all of which are empty. Also under the "Store" heading...my Purchased folder is gone. I must have had 30+ purchased songs in there.
    Any ideas how to get everything back?

    Hi, I had the EXACT same thing happen to me.
    Upgrade to 7.4.3.1 - Lost Purchased Music, Playlists and Library.
    I let iTunes update last Sunday 10/14/07 and today I opened it up and Vista started rebuilding the library, then crashed and said it did not have a solution to this problem and shut iTunes down.
    It created a, iTunes Library (Damaged).itl file.
    I tried the help file that said to drag the C:\Users\ME\Music\iTunes Music folder onto my Library folder but it crashed after transferring 20 songs or so.
    All of my music is in this iTunes Music folder so it is just a matter of trying to get iTunes and Vista to rebuild my Library so I can recreate my Playlist.
    So I will keep looking for a solution, but this is getting silly !

  • How do I convert purchased music videos and television shows into my Itunes liabrary and sync it onto my ipod?

    I recently purchased a music video and a television show episode off of Itunes. It was in my liabrary until I plugged in my Ipod nano 4th generation for it to sync. As my ipod is syncing the music video and tv show episode were'nt in my liabrary and they didn't sync onto my ipod. Yet when I log into my itunes store account the purchsed content is there. How do I get the music video and tv episode into my itunes library and onto my ipod?

    My guess (and it is just a guess) is that what you are trying to do is no different than recording a TV programme to a VCR then watching it at a time of your convenience, probably the main reason why people have purchased VCRs, PVRs and the like.
    However, with commercially produced DVDs, there is an encryption built in to prevent copying, and it the discussion of how to overcome this encryption that Apple will not permit on their forums.

  • HT1420 How do i move all my purchases music,movie and apps to my new pc?

    How do i move all my music,movie and apps to my new pc

    Go through the below link to Redownload your Past iTunes Store Purchases ( In the link it says iTunes 11 for Mac, but it is same for Windows Computer as well)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283
    or you can also try this link to show your Purchases in your iTunes Library and the Stream those contents without Downloading if you have a Good Internet speed and want to save Computer's Disk space ( But you cannot play Music when you are not connected to Internet by following this step and not downloading the Songs from Cloud to your Computer)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    And if you do not have access to your Old computer then you will not be able to get the songs which were copied from CDs and downloaded from a different source other then iTunes Store. And also you will lose all your Playlist and other iTunes settings and will have to recreate your Playlist etc.

  • Some purchased music protected and some arent!

    I am trying to insert some of my purchased music into my ipod but it wont work. instead my itunes freezes up and have to shut down itunes. I noticed that some of the purchased music files have a black lock icon which indicate that they are protected and those are the ones I cant copy. Some of my purchased music dont have that lock. I used to be able to insert these files into my ipod but now i cant. What can i do?

    Ok so some of the songs I have mightve been unprotected like you said. well ive resynced my ipod more than once but i still have trouble transerring those protected tracks into my ipod. Ive played the purchased songs and all. Computer is authorized too. Could my ipod be f*king up then? Im thinking of borrowing a friends ipod and testing it out on my computer.

  • I just had to have my toshiba laptop hard drive replaced and I am unable to move my itunes library from my ipad back to the laptop.  It says it is linked to another library  and I can only transfer purchased music etc and not the rest of the library.Help!

    I have just had my Toshiba laptop hard drive replaced. This has resulted in all previous content held on the laptop to be lost.   I wanted to try and transfer my music library from my ipad to the laptop, but it will not allow me to do so.  The message is that the ipad is linked to another computer and it will only allow the transfer of the items purchased on through the ipad and nothing else.  Does anyone know if the full library can be transferred back to the computer?

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

  • Incredible- Camera Lag (and lag in general)

    hi there... i just got a "refurbished" incredible in replacement of my older one (speaker blew for the 3rd time)... anyway, in the transition, i lost 30 pictures.... 
    BUT... the camera on this phone is taking over 30 seconds to even start after i push the camera option....  once it's on and we press the button to TAKE the actual photo-  it takes about 30 seconds to shoot the picture.  it's way too long... i don't know **bleep** to do to fix it.. make it faster.. i've messed with all the options, nothing makes the actual picture taking process quicker.  it's awful.
    also- the phone itself seems to be lagging in general with almost every operation..  ideas?  anyone else having these sorts of issues?! 
    thanks!  jennster

    Is the self timer set??  If not, you may want to try booting up in safe mode and see if there is still a delay. If so, you then may have to do a master reset.

  • Lags, lags and lags!

    After updating to IOS 7.1 appeared very much lags associated to the smooth motion of interface elements. And if you include the reduction in the transparency settings that slowdown disappears. Please fix it. Sorry for my english.

    Hi Gemorg,
    A laggy iOS device can be such a pain! I was going the same torture with my own iPod 4g with ios 6. But anyway you can always do this:
    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. This method has worked a lot for many people.
    You can also try disabing the parallax effect. Go to Settings>General>Accesbility>Reduce Motion
    Another thing I discovered and this applied to my own iPod with 8gb of storage (not sure about yours) but once I am under a 1 gb of storage left, my device will slow down a lot but then again I had mine for 4 years so you can simply ignore this last point as this may likely not apply to you anyway.

  • HT201272 I purchase music before and lost them how can i find them back

    Hi how can i recover lost music i bought

    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.

  • Husband and Wife trying to combine music libraries and share between all Apple technologies in the house.

    My husband and I both have apple ids which we use to purchase music, movies etc...  We want to combine our libraries and pull from the same.  We've been doing this manually - but wonder if we can use the Cloud to support 2 apple ids or if we have to create a 3rd apple id / email and somehow transfer our individual music to the 3rd apple id / email.  Creating the 3rd email / apple id will be a pain since we will never use this as an email.  We need Help figuring out the best approach.

    You can't combine two Apple IDs... I have the same problem I have an iCloud mail account and an Apple ID i use to purchase music with and I'd love a way to combine them. Apple has said in the past their looking into a possible way of doing this but I'm doubtful they will... :/
    However, sounds like iTunes Match will probably be the right solution for you http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • HELP! I can't transfer my purchased music to my ipod

    After purchasing a new pc and transfering my songs over via an external hard drive, I can't transfer new music that I purchased to my ipod. I purchased the new music with the new pc and a recently loaded version of iTunes via the website.
    When I try to update my ipod with my new music I get a message that says my newly purchased songs are linked to a different library. How did I goof this up....buh.
    Any help would really be appreciated, thanks in advance.
    Rick.

    Rick,
    First thing to do is confirm that your new computer has been authorized to play the purchased music.
    And if it's not too late, you'll want to deauthorize the old one.
    And the message you're getting is most likely that your iPod is connected to a different library. If you have successfully transferred all your music (including the purchased music) to your new computer, you can safely let iTunes link your iPod to this iPod.
    Any further questions, post back.

  • Purchased music on 2 different authorized computers

    Probably dumb question but here goes. We have 2 computers sharing, and we purchased songs from both of them. Is there a way to combine the Purchased Music ? And can you burn from a shared music folder ?
      Windows 2000  

    No, but he can copy it to an iPod, then use "Transfer purchases from iPod" to move it to another authorized computer. He can also transfer it using a thumb drive, email, etc.

  • SGE2000 LACP/LAG and vlans

    Hi, Have recently purchased an SGE2000 and have a number of ports we wish to connect to some xen servers via 803.2ad (LACP). However the software is telling me we cannot create a LAG with vlans. Is this some sort of bug? Is there a firmware release to fix this? We have a number of other branded switches which do this just fine. I would rather not have to sell this switch, as I do like linksys switches.

    This is not a limitation from what I can tell. You need to remove the ports from all vlans except management. Then set up the ports to be part of your lag group. The lag can then be assigned to the desired vlan.
    I haven't been able to fully test this due to some other quirks I haven't figured out for this switch yet, but procedurally, the switch does not complain when you configure it in this manner.

  • Airplay Mirroring Lags and Sputters

    With Mirroring I have Extreme Lag and Sputtering. Video is unwatcahable as well as any work with it. My set up includes:
    Apple TV 2 with high-grade cables (works fine streaming anything native on ATV2 as well as my iPhone 4s)
    MBP 15" i7 2.2 GHz with 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD
    Time Capsule 2TB with 5 GHz Network enabled
    Tried using both built in Mountain Lion Airplay Mirroring as well as AirParrot, both lag pretty bad with AirParrot being better.
    There wasn't anything else running on the network and I only was running one-two apps at a time.

    I think we're a way off from a perfect wireless second monitor. A year ago I tried a few on the iPad and had the same lagginess and haven't been inclined to try anything since. I just don't think Wi-Fi is the way to go. Maybe in about 2 or 5 years from now we will have a suitable wireless solution for a monitor. It's hard to predict at this point.
    The best way to view your content is to create a dedicated server. LaCie makes a Media box like Apple TV with less bells and whistles, but it will play a lot more file types if you don't want to convert your videos. The only drawback to it is that you would have to purchase and install Twonky Server to get it to work (it's about $20-$30) as well, and to be honest, it just doesn't work as well on my Mac Server as it did on my Windows Server.
    Of course, the other option is the one I stated above.
    I was lucky in that I've always converted my videos to mp4 because I always believed that it was the most universal. I use a dedicated file server with iTunes running and my Apple TV works great with it.
