Updating iTunes (Windows 7) message "iTunes server not available, try again later"

PC operating Windows 7 with iTunes used to update automatically but has stopped doing so and when trying to manually update message appears saying "iTunes server is not available, try again later" - have checked that firewall allows iTunes through to update - does anyone know a fix for this?

Hi sunnychelt,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
That error sounds like the errors in this article.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

There you'll find some generic troubleshooting as well as some Windows specific steps.

    Try:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    It could be that the servers are down/overloaded

    Hello this is happening to us also (minus the Bluetooth speaker).  We can't figure out what is causing the data usage.  I turned off mobile data as soon s I activated the device, and got the message that unless I am connected to WiFi.....(that is exactly what I wanted). We watched Netflix for about three hours, then the alerts started.  Like you we have many devices connected and never used over 2GB now all of a sudden we have used it in a matter of hours.  My husband called Verizon  and got the usual doubting Thomas response.  I understand that they don't know my device settings.  So over the phone we check all the settings and turned  off every possible culprit eating up the data and end the call.  By now I have purchased another gig for the month!  Assured we are NOT using mobile data, we continue on the IE path to bliss.  HA!  A few hours later I check the mobile data usage on the Verizon website and that darn thing is still using data.  After two more phone calls and two VERY uneventful trips to the local store we were told to take out the sim card.  This has stopped the data usage, but it defeats the purpose of having the data plan.  I could have just stuck with my Surface.  Verizon sent us a new sim card.  Its been installed and I have set my homepage to Verizon mobile data usage (just kidding) but I am on that site a lot.   I am surprised at the number of complaints about this device.  When we called the Verizon support acted as though this was the first time they had heard about this.   Loved your post, you should write for a living.

  • I am getting constantly the message: itunes store is not available. try again later

    Both in my Apple TV (Latest 1080 version) and my Macbook Pro I am getting constanlty the message "itunes store is not available. try again later"
    I have checked my network and it is working while this is happening so it should not be a problem related to my internet connection.
    I have also used without problem my three apple tv so it cannot be a firewall.
    This is happening randomly but more frequently.
    All software versions have been updated and problem persists

    I tried today turning OFF the Dolby Digital feature in the apple tv. testing......

  • Not available try again later

    My apple tv cannot connect to anything.  Netflix, iTunes, youtube.  I get the same message  "not available try again later"  I checked my settings and have a good signal from my airport but cannot connect to anything.

    I had this happen earlier this week - thought perhaps it was a Netflix problem.when it contined the next day, I looked for a reset button - there isn't one.  So, I just pulled one of the plugs out from the back of the Apple TV, waited a second and plugged it back in.  Worked like a charm and could now watch my movie.

  • Payment Processing Temporarily not available, try again later.

    Hey Guys,
    I might have a solution for the folks who are getting the error "Payment Processing Temporarily not available, try again later".
    If you have an active credit card and trying to purchase/register in the iTunes store this error pops up. On contacting support, they will tell you to check with the bank and they will also suggest an alternative solution for this(purchasing an iTunes Gift Card).
    My Perspective on the Problem:
    The bank or the service which Apple is using to process your card is not a 24hrs service. I am not aware if the same problem is being faced in US, Canada & UK. But seeing the previous discussions on this error, most of the Apple users in India and other countries are facing this. I reside in India and I have faced this problem.
    My Proposed Solution:
    Try registering your card after 9.30am GMT. I was trying to register my card all day long and as soon it was 3am IST, my card got processed and I was able to make purchase on iTunes. So, 3am IST is 9.30am GMT. 9.30am GMT must be the opening time for the day at the bank/service which apple uses to bill users. So, 8 hrs from 9.30am GMT should be the time you should try to use your card on iTunes.
    Apple should take care of this.

  • I using iWeb 3.03.  I'm not able to complete a publish command.  I get an error message and a note to try again later.  What can I do to find the source of the problem

    I am using iWeb 3.03.  I have prepared a new website and several pages.  Attempts to publish have failed.  An error message appears, which I don't understand.  The message includes a note that says "try again later."  What might I try next to get past this problem?
    Duane Fitzgerald

    Try the following:
    close iWeb.
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    reboot.
    go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
    login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
    login with your correct username and password.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Since upgrading to 8.0.1, on 80% of the addresses entered Firefox give me a "server not available - try again" error message. What did you guys do?

    Since upgrading two days ago to Firefox 8.0.1 I get this error message on 80% of the addresses I try to access:
    Server not found
    Firefox can't find the server at orders.tigerdirect.com
    Check the address for typing errors such as
    ww.example.com instead of
    www.example.com
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    What's the problem with the upgrade?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • "iTuned is not available, try again later" message

    I am trying to watch a show I purchased on my Apple TV on my TV. I keep getting the above message. When I went to iTunes on my computer, I see ITunes ia available. What to do?
    Mike

    I looked at the past answers and the answer was to unplug the wires from your apple tv box, wait a minute, then plug them back in. That worked. It re-set the box I guess. So take out your HDMI line and any other lines you have plugged in to your box, wait a minute, re-plug them in, and voila, it works again.

  • My iPad 3 will not access icloud message cloud storage details not available try again later, this appears to be since i was told i had to change my apple id password. have several games previously bought which now just sit "waiting" for several days?

    Since Apple demanded I change my old six digit password to a new min 8 digit one i do not seem to be able to access iCloud.
    I have games which I wish to reinstall but they have their icon on screen but just say "waiting"
    this is most annoying can anyone assist?
    thanks

    Once you have changed your password, you need to delete your account and add it back. Have you done this.

    Try -
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Message reads Apple tv cannot sign in to Itunes until network time has been set; please try again later...help!

    in setting up new apple tv, message says "apple tv cannot sign in to Itunes until network time has been set - please try again later.........is this an easy fix?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Also try restarting the router.
    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
    If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.
