Shopping cart disappeared in iTunes 9

I just updated to iTunes 9, and overall I love it. However, I noticed that my shopping cart just disappeared. Anyone know what happened? Are there no more shopping carts in iTunes 9? Wish I had known that before I upgraded!

No, it's not the same at all! In iTunes8 you had a preference that said "Put items in cart". That meant that every other "buy" link essentially put things in a cart where you could review them before spending the money.
This is COMPLETELY different. Now you can do something much more complicated to put things on your wish list. The new behavior is to TAKE YOUR MONEY IMMEDIATELY. A single mis-click costs you money and they won't give you a refund.
All iTunes users should complain to Apple that reversing the meaning of a purchase control with no change to the user interface is not "Nice", it is Evil. Bad, bad, Apple.

HT1915 Why was the shopping cart removed for iTunes store??? I NEED it!!!!!!

Does iTunes Shopping Cart Disappear After Reinstalling?

I am getting ready to uninstall and reinstall iTunes due to a cd drive problem and was wondering if I do so will it erase all the songs in my iTunes Shopping Cart?

It's not supposed to, but if you want to make a Wish List, that could give you peace of mind.
Here's how:

Shopping Cart Disappearing

Hi all,
Having an issue with cart retention which is causing headaches for our clients.
Normally if a customer quits the browser while shopping and comes back to browsing again during the lifetime of the cart, all the items are held in the cart.
We are having an issue where if the customer views the cart and then closes the browser for whatever reason and then comes back to it, the cart is gone.
Steps to replicate the issue are:
Add a product to the cart
Click the view cart link of the shopping cart summary
Quit the browser.
Open the browser again and the cart is gone, along with the stock for the length of the cart lifetime.
Now if the customer views the cart and then adds another item all works as it should.
Thought I'd put this issue out to see if anyone else is having the same problem. I have support looking into it as well.
Have tested this on a couple of sites so it's a BC issue of some sort.
Cheers,
Stephen

Has been listed as a bug by support, waiting to hear back from them.

I want my Shopping Cart back iTunes 9

How many of you want the Shopping Cart back in iTunes 9
I just went to add something to my cart today and noticed it was gone, replaced by Wish List, hidden at the bottom of the iTunes store.
Please Apple, at least move the Wish List to the menu near the link for the store. I don't know why you are hiding it!

I want my Shopping Cart back too. The Wish List feature is awful and poorly designed. Shopping Cart was so easy to navigate through - all on one page - whereas, Wish List is one cluttered and confusing page after page, often times not allowing you to delete songs from your list. Apple fixed something that wasn't broken - and ticked off many of their customers in the process.
Please, anyone who feels this way, email Apple Support and make your voice be heard.

Why can't I download Free iPod Touch Apps from Apps Store w/Shopping Cart?

I have an 8GB iPod Touch (original model) with the current 2.1 software. I also have iTunes v. 8.0. The behavior I am seeing started about 3 weeks ago and continues with these updates - it was not like this when I first downloaded the 2.0 software and began installing Apps.
I prefer to manage my iPod Touch applications in iTunes. I have my iTunes account set up for a Shopping Cart, not 1-Click Buy. This is because for Music, I prefer to add songs I will want to my shopping cart, then buy them when I want to.
When iTunes 7.7 first came out with v2.0 software, even though I have a Shopping Cart for my iTunes, I could "buy" a Free App just by clicking on it, and it would be automatically downloaded and added to my Applications folder on iTunes. Then, when I synced with my iPod Touch, it would install the app on my iPod Touch. This was true for either new Apps or upgrades to existing Apps.
For the last few weeks, every time I try to update even an existing App for my iPod Touch, if I do it through the iTunes store, I get the following message:
"Applications cannot be purchased with Shopping Cart.
Your preferences are currently set to buy using Shopping Cart. Application purchases cannot be placed in Shopping Cart: they must be purchase by 1-Click. Select Buy if you'd like to purchase [NAME OF APPLICATION} by using 1-Click and your credit card will be charged immediately."
The [NAME OF APPLICATION] is filled in with whatever application I am dealing with at that time.
Why is it that even with a Free application, and an update for it at that, it will not let me obtain it with iTunes if I have a Shopping Cart? So far, I have solved the problem by doing all of my Applications management on my iPod Touch. I use the iTunes Store on my iPod Touch to search for and download the application. Then, when I sync, it places it in my Applications folder on iTunes on my PC.
This is very strange behavior for iTunes. Why would it want to charge my credit card for a Free Application?
Many thanks.
Joe

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply. I do have a valid Credit Card on the account. In addition, I also have about a $5 credit from an iTunes gift card in my iTunes account.
In any event, I'm actually NOT purchasing anything. All I'm trying to do is download a FREE App for my iPod Touch. It simply won't let me do it.
This is extremely frustrating.
Best regards.
Joe

How do i switch to shopping cart

How do I switch to shopping cart in itunes store?

There isn't a shopping cart in the iTunes store, you can only buy items one-at-a-time. You can add items to your wish list, but again you can only buy items from that one-at-a-time.

Is the shopping cart persistent

If I put a bunch of songs into the itunes Store shopping cart, but quit itunes and shut my computer before purchasing, will the songs still be in the shopping cart the next day when I log back in? (Using itunes 7.5)

No shopping cart option on iPad.

ITunes Shopping Cart won't let me delete items.

I have some items in my shopping cart that I need to delete because I've already purchased them. But the problem is that it won't let me delete them and it also says that it is not available in the Canadian Store. If someone knows how to fix this that would be great.

Same problem as well with music videos I added that were originally single purchase items and then the next day became Album Only in my shopping cart (though they really weren't) and now I can't delete them. I've tried several tricks to no avail.
I've called Apple Care twice with no resolution. They keep wanting to send me to iTunes Store support but I don't think the people answering there even know how to use a computer. They refuse to "escalate" the issue even though no one has still provided an answer. All I want is for the iTunes staff to delete my entire shopping cart contents but no.
Obvious something is seriously messed-up with the iTMS database and Apple is covering it up to prevent a huge blow to their Christmas sales. I'm sure the DBAs are working round the clock to fix this with no resolution yet.
In 25 years this is the worst support I've ever had from Apple.

I can no longer access my iTunes shopping cart.

This has been going on for about two weeks. When I click "Shopping Cart" I get an error 5002. No explaination. Error 5002 is an "unknown error".

Sorry. Will post this in iTunes forum.

Shopping Cart not Showing up In Itunes

The Itunes Music Store opens just fine. But when I click on my shopping cart I get the following: "We could not complete your Music Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002)." This has been going on for two days. Anyone know why and how to fix this?

Jeez..... so I just tried getting in to the cart by getting to it as a blank screen that said shopping cart at the top, then clicking on my account id....and now I am looking at the cart with all the titles (no more blank screen. AND I was able to delete a song.
this must be a very fertile forum, self-actualizing or something.
that said, i have zero confidence that i will be able to replicate this.... going to run an essential errand, come back and do all I can before the lights dim again (so to speak).
TIA

ITunes 9-- No "Shopping Cart", "Wish List" a poor substitute!

I miss greatly the easy functionality of the iTunes8 "Shopping Cart".
iT9's "Wish List" lacks SC's functionality and ease of use.
Has anyone who valued the iT8 Shopping Cart's functionality found a way to approach it in iT9?
I haven't and really miss it-- but maybe I just haven't figured WL out yet?
There seem to be two ways to populate your Wish List:
1. use the drop down menu beside the "Buy" button in iTunes Store, or
2. drag your song to your own Wish List album (i.e. an album you create with that name).
#1 method I have found to be incredibly frustrating:
a. It took my a long time to figure out how to access that WL (iT Help was silent about this).
Answer: from iTunes Store's home screen, hold mouse over your user name in upper right hand corner of home screen and an arrow for a drop-down list appears including Wish List. The resulting list had my new songs in it and a bunch that seemed to have come from iT8 (I maintained a "Shopping List album to back up my SL because periodically it became inaccessible and I had trouble getting Apple to reset it for me) but it is really unpleasant to use, especially if you have a lot of songs there. If you are trying to access the most recent songs added, it is especially cumbersome-- it's divided up into pages and the song list sub-window, within the main window, goes off the bottom of my iMac 24" screen. Therefoer, you have to scroll down to get to the song list sub-window and then scroll again within that sub-window because the song list's page isn't fully shown and you have to scroll down within it to even see all songs on that one page. Then, Worse yet, the song list is into multiple pages, each of which requires a click to see content. You cannot get an overview within your own WL. Even more frustrating, every time you buy a song, this awkward display reverts to the first line of the first page which causes you to have to go thru this whole process all over again. Ugh.
#2. The 2nd method of making your own Wish List album is better, but still requires you to deal with the awful scrolling window within a scrolling window. I can't get any large overview of the various arrangements of a song that I am searching for. iT9's approach makes me feel awkward and blind compared to iT8. To populate your WL album, you must individually drag each song into a relatively small album accurately and one at a time. This is a pain vs. just double clicking on it in iT8 to add it to my SC. Once you've got the songs you want in your WL, you can see and sort them much like you could in the old SC. So the real problem I'm encountering here is the basic way that iT9 is designed to display music search results-- what I call scrolling windows within scrolling windows. I tried using the view menu to make it the kind of sweeping view that iT8 offered, but nothing seemed to improve the view.
Has anyone else found a work-around to recover the functionality lost in replacing SC's with WL's? Any user tips would be greatly appreciated! I used to really enjoy perusing iT8 and comparing varying artists/arrangements of the same song and this has become really unpleasant in iT9. I love iOS4 for my iPhone 3G though and had to update to iT9 for that. Too bad there's such a trade-off required!

This was discussed ad nauseum when iTunes 9 first came out months ago. If you search the discussions (using the Search Discussions box above and to the right), you'll probably find some of the myriad threads on the subject.
Best of luck.

Can't access iTunes shopping cart. Who can help?

For some reason I can not access my iTunes shopping cart. It shows me how much money I have to spend, but I can't see any of the songs that I have added to the shopping cart. Has anyone ever had this problem? Please advise ASAP. I'd like to buy some music.

ITunes Shopping Cart Problem

Hello,
I have the strangest issue with my shopping cart. I had some items that I was going to purchase but decided not too and left them in my cart. I went to remove them from my cart the other day and I can't! I recieve the following error when I clice the x next to each item:
Could not remove an item from your cart. An Unknown error occurred (1011).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
I did try again later, many times, to no avail. The items that are in my cart are no longer available in the iTunes store which I'm positive is contributing to the problem. Any help that someone could give would be appreciated!
Thanks again.

This is a bit of a long shot, but it worked for another user, so it's worth a try. Go to the iTunes Store preferences, select "Buy and Download Using 1-Click", close the preferences window, reopen the preferences window and reselect "Buy and Download Using Shopping Cart". Then see if your Shopping Cart will clear.
If that doesn't help, you'll need to contact the iTunes Music Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of this web page and explain the problem to them.
Hope this helps.

Upgraded iTunes and Shopping Cart Didn't Migrate to Wish List

I updated my iTunes software tonight without realizing that they had done away with the Shopping Cart. After figuring out that it was now the Wish List, I went to check to see if my former shopping cart items were now there. Some of the individual songs I had in there migrated, but I know there are a lot missing, plus several albums. Is there any way to recover it all? I had $300+ of songs in it, and now there's only about $30 worth.

i don't trust MA at all. known to create a lot of problems.
instead, see the green box in this user tip.
