"This item is currently being modified. Please..."

Trying to purchase a couple TV show seasons but for two different shows (Madmen and Burn Notice), it won't let me purchase and gives this message:
"This item is currently being modified. Please try again later."
Never seen this one before. Thoughts?

Hi, I actually have the same problem but with Apps for the iPhone... I've got 2 of them showing there's an update available but when I try to update I first get a message staating I can't update unless I have bought the previous version (why is it then offering an update???) and then a second message stating "This item is currently being modified. Please try again later." and it's been stuck like this for a couple days now... I think this might have to do with some internal Apple database thing because I changed my contact email for iTunes recently therefore my iTunes name changed as well and the Apple iTunes databse is probably having problems updating the purchase records witht he new name...

  • This item is currently being modified, please try again later since iTunes9

    Hi, I tried to find an answer to this issue believing I wouldn't be the only one to see this, but I could not find the answer to my iTunes issue. I updated to iTunes 9, since I did that, I am unable to buy any Season Pass. I tried with 3 different season passes and all I get is a message saying "This item is currently being modified, please try again later". I tried to reeinstall iTunes 9, I updated to SL 10.6.1 this morning, logout of iTunes etc ... nothing seems to solve my problem. Any good idea is welcome.

    I'm having the same problem. I tried to buy a season pass to the SD version of my favorite show, and was told I had to install iTunes 9.0 first. I did that, and then started getting this "Purchase unavailable. Item is being modified. Try again later" message, which has been coming up for two days solid now. Interestingly enough, other folk trying to buy the same series have had the same problem - UNLESS they were buying the $20 more expensive HD version of the season pass, which began downloading instantly. Given that the HD season pass includes a copy of the SD version for viewing on an iPod, there can't be a problem with the SD version, so what's going on with the inability to purchase it? The single new SD episode is also apparently downloadable individually, but can't be gotten on a season pass. Have submitted request for assistance to customer service (and REALLY hate how clunky that system is, when it comes to finding out where to submit a query), and haven't heard anything back yet. Am NOT happy.

  • Cannot watch movies - all say 'This item is currently being modified.  Please try again later.'

    Every movie I try to watch on my AppleTV results in a message stating 'This item is currently being modified.  Please try again later.'  How can I find a fix for this issue?  I am in the UK.  My iTunes account is a US account.  Is that the issue?  This does not cause me any problems with any other aspects of the AppleTV and has never been an issue when using iTunes on my PC and iPad.  Help!

    Make sure the country location on your appletv is set to match the country on your iTunes account. Fixed it for me after months of struggling with the same problem.

  • TS1424 "This item is currently being modified. Please try again later."

    While attempting to purchase and download a recently aired TV epsiode (Doctor Who: The Snowmen) a message appears that it is currently bing modified, and to try again later.  After poking around on the internet for a bit I was confused since multiple sources said the show would be available online Wed. Dec. 26th.  While trying repeatedly yesterday and this morning I am still unable to purchase this episode.  More distressing, is that it appears other users have been able to buy and enjoy this selection with no problems.  I am wondering if this is a connection issue or if I missed some sort of an update on my computer?

  • "This item is currently being modified. Please try again later."

    I pre-ordered x by Ed Sheeran and it won't let me complete the album with the rest of the songs that were released at midnight.  It gives me the option to buy 6 more songs separately, and I tried buying one and it worked.  The problem is I don't want to spend another 7-8 dollars on songs that I can get for a total of $1.38.  I even tried cancelling the pre-order and nothing's worked so far.  What can I do?

    The message says they are replacing some items and you should try again LATER. Is there any reason you can't follow that advice? Other than impatience?
    No, you should not have to pay twice for anything. If you contact iTunes support (the link is at the bottom of the store page), you should get a refund, although canceling the pre-order might have caused some unnecessary complication. Try.

  • 'This item is currently being modified. Please try again later.' - Issue with buying app

  • Okay, so I'm trying to download an album from the store on the iPod. It's telling me "Item is currently being modified. Please try again later." Its really starting to make me mad; Is there anyway to get rid of that message?

    It's telling me "Item is currently being modified. Please try again later." Its really starting to make me mad; Is there any way to get rid of that message?
    PS. The reason I'm downloading directly from the iPod is because the laptop that had my iPod synched to it crashed and the recovery disk didn't fix it. I don't wanna lose all my songs. :/

    If it says it is temporarily being modified than you should wait until tomorrow or later tonight. If it keeps happening, try downloading something else. If it has the same message, it is probably a problem with iTunes on your iPod. If it downloads regularly, there must just be a problem with the album.

    Hello thebriggs6,
    It may help to force close the iTunes app, then restart your iPod Touch.

  • TS3297 iTunes store says: "Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later."

    I'm trying to purchase an album via iTunes and I keep getting the message:
    "Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later."
    What does that mean? Why is it listed in the store if it's not available? When will it be available?
    iTunes 10.7.0.21
    Thanks.

    It means it's being modified, try again later.
    Sorry, but which part of that do you not understand?
    Perhaps they're changing the price, so while they are doing that, you cannot buy it. It'll save you moaning later that you bought it and then the price went down. Or perhaps they've found that the album is faulty and so it has been removed until they can upload a non-faulty version. In either case, it will be available when Apple are ready to make it available. No one here knows when that will be.
    Wait 24 hours and try again. If no luck, wait another 24 hours and try again. Obviously, Apple would prefer you to buy the song from them, so that's why it's still listed. But it's up to you how long you wait before deciding that you've waited long enough and you simply buy the album from another store. You have that choice, it's not compulsory to buy from Apple you know.

  • Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later.

    Apple Support:
    I have tried to purchase albums by Muse dated 2003 and earlier from the iTunes Store in Denmark.
    For all of  these I am getting the response:
    "Purchase of this item is currently not available. This item is being modified. Please try again later.".
    Well its been like this for one week now.
    Is it still "being modified" or is it an access error that should not be there and that I am getting a misleading error message?
    Apple please help !
    Thanks,
    Alex

    All you can do is keep trying.  It happens sometimes.

  • This device is currently being registered for ePrint. Please try again later.

    I bought a new HP LaserJet 500 Color M551dn earlier this week and when I click on "Enable HP Web Services" it has been stuck on the following message for days:  "This device is currently being registered for ePrint. Please try again later."  I have tried manually assigning a new IP address and changing the DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as suggested in other posts but it has not made any difference.  Perphaps someone from HP can resolve this issue.  Please help.

  • Configuration Result: This device is currently being registered for ePrint. Please try again later.

    When enabling eprinting for the HP LaserJet 500 MFP M525 it would not register with the services. It has been stuck on this status for several days under web services: This device is currently being registered for ePrint. Please try again later.
    I have reset the printer factory defaults, upgraded to the latest firmware, and the status remains the same. ePrint does not show the device as registered or a way to cancel the registration. I am looking for some suggestions to remove the device fom this status in order to attempt to register the device again.

    Hi,
    From that help page:
    For LaserJet: Print a configuration page from your printer to locate the IP address. Open a Web browser and type the product IP address into the address line. The HP-embedded Web Server will open. Click the HP Web Services tab. Select the option to remove Web Services.
    This doesn't work, since the printer doesn't thinks it's connected. It still says that "HP Web Services is not enabled":
     And when I click the "Enable HP Web Services" button, I'm taken to this page:
    That's the issue.

  • HT4759 I just got a new IPAD and transferred everything through the cloud from my old IPAD2. The new one says "this IPAD is currently being restored. It has been that way for about 2 hours. Also, I books will open and then close right away with no content

    I just got a new IPAD and transferred everything through the cloud from my old IPAD 2. The new one says "this IPAD is currently being restored. It has been that way for over two hours. Also, I Books opens and then closes right away with no content. Does it take this long, or is there an issue?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

  • Epson software install problem: The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software." But i have downloaded from Epson and Apple!!!

    I am trying to install a printer Epson xp-605 but when i try to add it, Apple says it can't find the software. I have downloaded the software from Apple website and also from the Epson installation disc!  The message is: "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software."

    Try a reset of the printing system. This often resolves the symptom you are experiencing.
