I get the message 'Store credit temporarily unavailable' when I try to buy an album. There is credit available. I have reset the cache and warnings and logged out of Itunes.
Apparently there is an issue if you try to make a purchase which is more than the amount from a gift card. It should charge the balance to your stored credit or debit card. It doesn't and displays this error instead. This issue is known by Apple but no fix date was given.

I can't sync my iPhone 6 The App Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
Hello I just purchased an iPhone 6 Plus today. I am unable to sync to my iTunes because it requires iTunes 11.4 or later. I am running 11.1.3. When I try to update this through the App Store I receive an error "The App Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
This has been going on for several hours. I can see "Featured", "Top Charts", "Categories", "Purchases" but am unable to connect to the "Updates" section within App Store.
I am frustrated. It is just the update function of the store that does not connect.
And yes,my ID and Password are correct.
Why?Download the app directly and install.

I have redeemed points on my account but, when I try to buy a song I tunes doesnt use them it tries to access the credit card associated with the account for payment. How do I tell this thing to use the points instead. duh
By 'redeemed points' I assume that you mean that you've redeemed an iTunes gift card onto your account (?). If you do then are you trying to buy songs for yourself or are you trying to gift them - you can only gift items from a credit card, an account's balance can't be used for gifting. If you are buying for yourseflt and you are being asked to enter/verify a credit card number then are you currently in the country where your iTunes account is based ?

TS1424 The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
I can't to login to my account via iTunes on my PC. When I enter the apple id and password, I get an error that says "The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." If I purposely enter a wrong password, iTunes will recognize the password as wrong. If I try a different apple id and password they will work. I only get this error when I try to use use the one apple id and the correct password. I can access the account via the apple id web page and on my ipad and ipod as well. This appears to be an account issue not a computer issue. I have tried to log in with the apple id on itunes I have on another computer and I get the same error. Has anyone seen this?
Found solution in another post. https://discussions.apple.com/message/23176442#23176442

The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

Please can someone help. I keep on getting this when I try and buy a song or upgrade my iPhone aps. I have got the latest iTunes on my 15" MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.5 (12F37). Last week I changed my password on //appleid.apple.com I could the access my account in iTunes. I have tried to log on to my account / view my account in itunes / buy a song and tried upgrading my apps, but I can't do anything now. it is frustrating. Please, please, please can someone help. :-)
Unsure if this will help anyone but I had the same problem with the message always coming up when I tried to login: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
What I couldn't understand was that I could log into iTunes online, but not through the iTunes app, becoming very frustrated I went to drastic measures to get everything working again - although I found this post after I had success.
To add to the issue, my iPhone (4S - iOS7) was visible on iTunes (latest version), but some of my apps had failed to sync (showing grey on my iPhone and being unable to delete them), causing further issues and adding to my frustrations....which attributed to the drastic measures posted below.
(You may want to try following the above posts before following my method)
**** Apple support provided me with an email containing many links, all of which didn't really help me, but I'll post anyway, just incase they assist someone else:
"Dear Luke,
Thank you for writing to iTunes Store Customer Support, my name is Indra and I'll be assisting to you with your concern.
I understand that you are unable to login to your iTunes store account and getting message that the iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. I can imagine you must be eager to access your account and I will do my best to resolve this issue.
Luke, as an advisor for the iTunes Store, I handle issues related to billing, downloading, customer accounts, and the items available on the iTunes Store. Although your question falls outside of my area of specialty, I will be happy to assist you with resolving your issue.
I have verified that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections. The issue could have been temporary, related to your internet connection, your local network, or your computer itself. If you’re still unable to connect, this article outlines some potential solutions:

Firewall, virus-protection, and web-acceleration software can prevent you from connecting to the iTunes Store. You might not be able to connect even if the software appears to be configured to allow full access to the iTunes Store. You can use the MSCONFIG utility to determine if software on your computer is preventing access to the iTunes Store. For detailed instructions, please refer to the following article:
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista and Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
If the articles above don't help you connect to the iTunes Store, I suggest testing to see if this issue occurs while you are signed in to a new user account on your computer. To learn how to create a new user account in your version of Windows, please read the article below for your operating system:

Windows 8: Create a user account
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-user-account
Once you are signed in to this new user account, open iTunes and try to connect to the iTunes Store. If you can connect without error, then you’ve identified that the issue is with the previous user account that you were using. You may want to consider adopting this new account as your user account and transferring your files from the old account to your new one.

But if the above doesn't work for you then you can follow my method...in the end, I perfomed the following actions which did work:
1). Uninstalled iTunes from my computer (via Control Panel > Programs & Features)
2). Located the iTunes folder containing media, Previous Libraries etc (normally located under your Music folder) and simply moved it to my desktop. (can't afford to delete)
3). Downloaded iTunes.
4). Plugged my iPhone into my laptop and moved all contents across to my desktop (photo's).
5). Restored my iPhone erasing ALL data (extreme but desperate measures were required) - you may want to back it up, but I personally didn't have anything that I couldn't afford to loose on it.
6). Set-up my iPhone (set language etc...) including iCloud, but did not plug it into my laptop.
7). Chose the following iPhone settings>
> iCloud - Contacts turned off
> Mail, Contacts, Calendars - iCloud Contacts turned off (same end result)
> iTunes & App Store - made sure I was logged in via Apple ID.
7). Closed Outlook.
8). Re-installed iTunes, saving it on the C:> default location.
9). Followed the normal iTunes install prompts, setting it up as new. (making sure I had NO apps or music - clean slate)
10). Plugged my iPhone into my laptop, waiting for it to appear as it normally does.
11). Checked for iOS updates and iTunes updates (all good)
12). Checked Sync Contacts with Outlook (opening Outlook at the same time) - Calendars I left to the iCloud
13). APPLY....once sync finally completed (this time SUCCESSFUL) I was able to click iTunes Store and LOG IN.....finally!
I probably didn't have to perform all 13 steps, but that's exactly what I did to get everything working again!
There is probably someone out there who will be able to explain why I couldn't login to iTunes, why many of my apps didn't load onto my iPhone correctly, why everything failed to sync and probably able to shorten the above 13 steps to a quick fix.... but for now, everything is finally working and my 48hrs of frustration has come to an stress free end! -
"Itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try agin later" This is all I am getting since yesterday. All I am trying to do is buy a song. Tried different stops to no avail.
Hello fedupwiththisgovno,
I found a couple of articles that might help with the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.
If you are getting a white screen when accessing the iTunes Store, I recommend reviewing this article:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
If you are still not able to access the store or are getting a different error than just a white screen, I recommend the following article:

"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.
Just Sharing...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:

what is the problem if the message -We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later is shown
The store isn't unavailable, I can login via my iPhone and iPad but not via iTunes on my Windows PC. I've had this problem all weekend and still getting it today. I'm running the latest version of iTunes, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Safari as someone on another site suggested, no difference. I have all the latest Windows updates.
Lots of people seem to have had this problem in the past but I'm struggling to find a solution which worked for them.
Anyone have any ideas please?
Thanks. -
It only appeared "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Pls try again later"
I can't change the country. It only appeared "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Pls try again later".
You can change the country to browse but for purchasing your debit or credit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

SOLUTION - iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
I have had this problem three times in the past few months. I think I've found a solution. (I just posted this solution on a question in the iTunes for Windows forum, but I think there needs to be a thread here for users with an Apple TV.)
The first time I spent over a week emailing back and forth to Apple Support with no fix. Nothing they tried seemed to work. They tried to tell me it was my Mac or my Apple TV, but I was always able to purchase and download iPhone Apps, songs, and podcasts. The trouble was when I tried to download App updates and TV show Season Passes purchased on my Apple TV. Once the problem started, I would always get the "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later" error. The Apple TV would give a similar error message.
I knew I had a few iPhone App updates available, but I couldn't download them in iTunes. I made sure all of the Apps with available updates were installed on my iPhone, then downloaded the updates through the App Store app on the phone. This cleared the download queue of any App updates. At this point all I had was TV shows. Within 24 hours the Apple TV was able to begin downloading the episodes.
The first time I tried this I couldn't be sure that my solution was the actual fix, since there was almost a day between what I did and when the Apple TV began to download TV shows. But, I have since had the same exact trouble two more times and each time I have used this method with successful results.
So, here's the steps to follow:
1. Sync your iPhone or iPod touch and make sure all apps with available updates are on the phone/touch. Using iTunes, you may have to install apps that are not currently on the device (but are in your iTunes Applications list).
2. Using the App Store app on the phone/touch, download and install all updates. Restart the device and sync again to iTunes. This will tell iTunes to stop looking for the app updates in the iTunes Store.
3. Hopefully, within 24 hours your downloads will resume normally.
As I said, this has worked for me every time, but it doesn't work immediately. Give it a day and you should see results. I noticed this problem again just this morning, so I tried these steps during my lunch break and now, six hours later, my Apple TV just downloaded the latest episodes of Top Gear, ATHF, and Breaking Bad.
Good luck!There are a lot of similar posts from other people reporting the same problem, Apple need to fix something on their end : https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

72hrs... "iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later"
From Bangkok. In what seems common issue but with a new flavor, I've been unable to access the iTunes store for now over 3 days. The message I get says: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." Any ideas?
Error Moessage:
'iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.'
I have had this meesage to 3 days now on my laptop and my desktop. I am running XP Service Pack 2 on both computers. The desktop has never connected to the store. I can connect with my computer through a wireless network at friends house, but when I use a cable at my home it gives me the error. Can you please explain and help. I have tried every solution on the Apple support website and nothing so far. I have only had the Ipod for 5 days. Oh, today I took it to a friends and connected to the store, but 10 minutes later I cam home and it would not connect through my broadband. I have deleted and created new connections already.
