"The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

We got the "The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." error after purchasing the movie "Tammy".
Tech support thought we had a connection issue with our Apple TV because we could watch this movie from our computer; that did not make sense really because all the other movies we purchased in the past still worked and we could watch previews for others. This process with tech support took a long time...in the process we reset the Apple TV and a bunch of other things. We finally gave up and watched in on our 27" iMac.
I do not know how apple security filters on Apple TV, but the Apple TV had been set-up with the original defaults for years.  I clicked on the security and put in a password because that is the only way I could changed the content filter from "PG".  I changed the content filter and restarted Apple TV and I was able to play "Tammy" which was rated "R".  I'm not sure if this was a coincidence, and I do not know why I was able to purchase a movie that I would not be able to play.  Maybe the purchase was allowed by iTunes at the time because they are not checked because the content can be played from other devices like my computer, and the restriction was on Apple TV, but then again, the "PG" filter on Apple TV should have prevented me from viewing to purchase the movie in the first place. Anyway the content filter has been changed and we can watch "Tammy" on our TV.

Yes, it does sound like software on your comptuer may be preventing you from accessing the iTunes Store. You may want to try using MSCONFIG to determine what software is conflicting. The process is not difficult, although it is a little time consuming. Here's how:

    itunes store is temporarily unavailable. please try again later

    Update on my previous post.
    iTunes showed I was logged in, displaying my Apple ID on the screen (left bar where it normally is) but I couldn't access my account, with the same error message coming up again!  (seriously this is total BS)
    I deleted EVERYTHING under
    C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    or YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Some people have had success only deleting everything in the cookies folder
    C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies

  • The Itunes store is temporarily unavailable please try again soon.

    Yesterday I downloaded Itunes onto my family's computer (Windows 8) I have been having problems signing into my account. I can go onto the Itunes store and look around, listen to sample tracks etc.
    This keeps popping up - We could not complete your Itunes request. The Itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
    Well I did and still nothing. I checked to make sure my Apple ID is working (it is)
    Is there anyone who can help me figure this out?

  • TS1424 Its says iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable.Please try again later.

    It also says it when i try to buy something.

    Turns out I had the same issue on WIndows (which I do not use a lot ...°.
    Here is how I solved it on Windows 7:
    - Quit iTunes (and Safari if you have it)
    - Openan Explorer window ("My Computer" for example)
    - Well hidden in the upper bar under "Organize" choose "Folder and search options"
    - In the "view" tab, make sure that "Show hidden files, folders and drives" is checked and click OK
    - Navigate to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies or YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies if that is easier
    - Delete everything in that folder
    - (I am not sure this is necessary) you might want to also trash items in the YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Cookies folder
    - Launch iTunes
    - Connect to your iTunes account
    - Smile :-)

  • The iTunes Store is currently unavailable. Try again Later.

    My AppleTV won't let me view any of the French films I want to see tonight.  It'll let me view and watch the previews for everything else, but just not French films, eg "Mes Amis, Mes Amours," "Odette Toulemonde" or "La Maison du Bonheur" --what's up with that?  Does Apple have something against films?
    I've tried restarting my AppleTV and also went to settings and did a full reset, which required me to reenter my network and info.  But still has the same problem.  I can go and view any other films, just not those ones... really weird, and disappointing. 

    I restarted and reset the device; still couldn't access my TV purchases.  According to other post in this community the problem is with Apple's server.  A work around is to go to iTunes, search for the show and play it from there.  It recognizes it as a perviously purchased show.  Wish Apple would fix the issue.

  • TS1424 I am getting a "your account is temporarily unavailable, please try again later" message when trying to download an app?

    When trying to download a new app, I get a "account temporarily unavailable, please try again later" message. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    There seems to be rather more of this type of issue being reported currently, than there normally is, there may well be a problem with the servers. I would be inclined to wait a while, then try again later.

  • Error :The catalog selected is currently unavailable:Please try again later

    Hi Experts,
    I am getting an error "The catalog selected is currently unavailable:Please try again later" when select a sold to party. I am not getting this every time. Only sometimes i am getting this error. When i delete the temperorary files from internet explorer sometimes this error is not coming. What might be the reason for this error??
    Thanks a lot in Advance.
    Regards,
    Lakshman.

    Hi
    Please let us know whether the error is thrown for all the sold to parties or for some.
    This error is caused because the catalog cache is flushed out . A quick solution would be to replicate the product catalog from the CRM system to TREX system.

    I can access youtube and movie trailers. My location setting is set as United States - I don't know if there is another "store region" setting. I signed in & out & in again using my apple ID & password - all that works fine.

  • Itunes store is temporarily unavailable - please check back later

    Hi All,
    Can't connect to iTunes store - "iTunes store is temporarily unavailable" - unable to update any of my IOS device apps - iPad2, iPhone4, iPod Touch. Any ideas? Anyone else going through this?

    Same problem for me.
    But the problem exists only for my AppleID which is linked to all my Apps.
    When I create a new AppleID, my problem is gone.
    The same problem I have when I try to authorize my Mac.
    With a new AppleID I've no problem, but with my active AppleID I get an error (iTunes Store temporarily unaviable).

  • Temporarily Unavailable - Please Try Again Later

    I've attempted to purchase a song (Get Aboard - Valiant Hearts: The Great War) off of the ITunes Store and I keep getting a message saying "this item is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." I've tried to purchase this item several times but I still receive the same message. Is there anything I can do to solve this problem or should I just wait and try again later?

    Greetings,
    It's me again (barefootrunner). I've changed accounts to my HP-approved one, hence the new name.
    I was able to reproduce this behavior on a printer sitting at my desk, and got a similar result. I could navigate the menus and then received a "Temporarily unavailable. Please try again later" message when I tried to actually print the job I had selected.  I think the printer/server get into a bad state with respect to each other. Here's what I did that solved the problem:
    1. Restore factory defaults (Setup menu -> Service -> Restore defaults)
    2. Removed web services (Setup menu -> Web Services menu -> Remove Web Services)
    3. Reenabled web services (Setup menu -> Web Services menu -> Enable Web Services)
    4. Once the Information Sheet is printed, use the e-mail address to register again with ePrint center.
    (These instructions may differ slightly for different models. I'm using an HP LaserJet CM1415fnw.)
    I'd like to reiterate that re-registering for Web Services was not sufficient to fix this behavior. Unfortunately, I had to restore defaults in order to get ePrint working again. Sorry for the inconvenience... I understand that this is really frustrating. This is not the expected mode of operation. Hopefully, you won't have to do it again.
    I am an HP employee.
