The Store takes my money but doesn't give me my downloads!

I bought and downloaded three things last night. Then I upgraded my iTunes to the new version. I downloaded 4 more things this morning and I keep getting an error message:
Unable to Check for Purchases.
iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Try again later.
It's later, and it still ain't working.
To test:
I have disabled my firewall
I ran a repair on my iTunes
I deleted my preference files and reset all my prefs
I disabled all Windows security/firewall settings
Still no luck
When I go to my iTunes store account, I am also unable to check my purchase history. I get another error that the iTunes store is unavailable. There is nothing else wrong with my connection. I am able to download files from Audible and they go right into my iTunes library.
This is very frustrating, esp since I'm going to Greece on Tuesday and was buying stuff to listen to on the plane.
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? There have been reports that some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes (consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure).
Hope this helps.

About an hour ago, I purchased Real Racing 2 from the Mac App Store for $12.99, but since then it has not downloaded one bit, even though I have a stable wifi connection. The money has already been taken from my account as well. What should I do?

Just to make sure, open Mac App Store and click Purchases. Can you pause the download and restart it?

It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
This is a user-to-user forum and no-one on here can take any direct action. If your Yahoo address is not working that's something you would need to take up with Yahoo - have you checked it by sending yourself an email to it?
Otherwise you will need to contact Support: go to https://expresslane.apple.com/ and click on 'iTunes' in the center column and then 'iTunes Store' in the right-hand column and proceed from there.

We have three different logins or accounts on our computer. In the administrator's login, iTunes loads, syncs, and accesses the store fine. On my two kids' logins, however, loading, syncing and acessing the store takes exponentially longer. Any ideas?

We have three different logins or user accounts on our comoputer. In the administrators' login, we have no trouble opening iTunes, syncing the iPod or accessing the store. However, in my two kids' logins, getting iTunes to recognize the device, sync it, or access the store takes exponentially longer.
Does anyone have similiar trouble with this, and if so, do you have any suggestions?

I think this is an excellent indicator that not only is Palm reviewing the feedback from the support forums here, but actively reviewing feedback/comments/wishes on other sites as well.
As the original poster copied this (quite solid, IMO) wishlist from Pre Central, the palm support staff acknowledged first seeing it there.

In my app store account appears money, but when I try to buy a game with my iPhone, a message display saying that I don't have enough credit, why?

If you're in the US, are you including the sales taxes charged in your location when you calculate how much you'll need?

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

I had this and fixed it.
I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
1. Quit Mail
2. In Problem machine, go to
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
5. Start Mail on the problem machine
This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
Hope this helps

Why does the store app keeps loading and doesn't work ?

Hi Peter,
In order to analyze your issue better, we need more detailed information.
Did you mean when you launch the Windows store app, the app can't start? Was there any prompt message or error code? Did this issue occur on all Windows Store app or specific one?

I'm having this problem now with my 2 weeks old iPhone 6+. in the beginning everything going great and managed to connect every wifi around me. Then suddenly 1 week ago, All the wifi from my office, home, hotel and coffee house saying either incorrect password or can't join the wifi. But when i switch on my hotspot from my iPhone 5 it can be connect. i also try with my friend iPhone hotspot. So is it because of hardware problem or software problem. And i just restore my iPhone6+ and still can't connect to wifi and manage to join hotspot (also wifi right?) regret as all my downloaded stuff vanish and now can't download back using wifi.....
Thanks for assisting

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes. For recovery mode:

When you add a WiFi you can't get into any websites??? But if you turn WiFi off you can access websites?
You can access websites without WiFi? Do you have a 3G/4G iPad?

The servers are probably overloaded with everyone trying to update to iOS 7 today. You might want to wait a while and then try again later.
