I can't seem to download anything on my iTunes when I use Check for available downloads. I have preorders that I can't download cos it just says 'iTunes store temporarily unavailable' even tho when I actually go on iTunes itself it work fine..

I've been in contact with Apple support team regarding this issue. I have about 9 items available for download(preorders mostly) but it's not listed under download. When I click on Check for available download, a message with 'iTunes temporarily unavailable' appears but when I go to the iTunes store itself, its working just fine. I've already been charged twice for the same movie which Apple have kindly refunded me for one of them but I still haven't managed to download that movie yet. Apple says its a problem with my computer and given me all sort of ways to rectify the issue and still no hope. Everything else seems to work just fine including the actual iTunes store, wifi syncing and cable syncing etc. Can somebody help me with this if you know how to solve this problem or if you've had the same issue now or before?
I am using the latest Software updates on my iTunes and these 9 items were purchased whilst on this new updates

Launch iTunes on your computer.
From the menu bar click iTunes > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click Reset warnings and Reset cache
Click OK.
Restart your computer, launch iTunes.
Click Store > Check for Available Downloads...

I cannot access any of my old purchases. Movies, mainly. It has nothing to do with authorized accounts, I've checked for available downloads a thousands times over. They simply do not exist any longer.

Well, this has been going on for a long time and I've had my absolute fill of it tonight.
I have purchased a large collection of movies from iTunes that for mainly the reason that I have a new computer, my old films no longer exist as downloaded iTunes videos. That being said, I know I should be able to download purchased films as long as they're still on the iTunes store. I cannot download any of them. Tonight I decided to buy a collection that should have allowed me to download all three films (which I had previously owned, but got sick of trying to find a solution to why I cannot redownload them). So tonight, I purchase this collection of three films, downloads the frst one. Theres absolutely no sign of the second or third film and when I select Check for available purchases it says all available purchases have been downloaded.
If this was true, 25+ movies would be available to download, least to say the two missing from tonights purchase (which I have purchased in the past as well).
My account is authorized, everything is alright with my account and I have tried multiple suggestions and am completely lost. Apple support is giving me the run-around.
What do I do?

Nevermind. I finally found a third party answer and will post it for anyone else with my problem.

Cannot download movies using "Check for Available Downloads"

I was downloading a few movies to watch when iTunes crashed. After starting it back up again, I tried to use the Store->Check for Available Downloads option. I keep getting the error message "Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection has timed out." I've tried signing out and signing back in, downloading from 2 different computers, using wired and wireless connections, and downloading from my account page. None of these has helped, and after contacting the iTunes help staff I received an email asking me for more info. I gave them the info and sent the email on Saturday and haven't received a response. Does anyone have a solution?

They fixed it! I just got an email saying that a digital booklet I was trying to download had started the problem and was stopping many further downloads. They removed the booklet and I'm downloading fine now. They will reinstate the booklet into my download queue once all the other media finishes downloading. Use this link to report your problem. Hope you have success!

TV Shows Season Pass New Episodes Gone from Check for Available Downloads

I was informed today from iTunes Support that new episodes that become available will no longer come through the Store > Check for Available Downloads option in iTunes. If you notice in your email alerts for the new episode's availability, it now says the new episode is found in your Purchased items in Itunes in the Cloud.
I was also told that if I checked the options "show iTunes Purchases in the Cloud" in iTunes > Preferences > Store tab, that I could just see the new episodes in my Library under TV Shows. I used to have this option and could access the new episodes and download them this way, but that option is now GONE as well from iTunes. I am awaiting feedback from my Senior Support Rep as to what is wrong there.
I have been simply going to the iTunes Store > Purchased > TV Shows and clicking the "Not on this computer" option in the upper right. I have to go show by show and click "Download" or "Download All". I have almost 15 Season Passes at any one time. This is a completely horrible way of downloading them.
When the new episodes were evailable via the "Check for Available Downloads" Option, I had my iMac scheduled to restart every morning around 4am Central. That was about 2 hours after the date/time stamp of the email notifications. Since iTunes was always set to start at login, it would automatically check for available downloads, and then download all the new episodes. I then had a cloning process scheduled that would clone my primary iTunes Media drive to a backup iTunes Media drive. That way if one fails I always have an up to date copy.
This new method totally screws up how slick this whole process worked. I understand streaming and the cloud is the direction they are taking here, but this is completely an about face. I want the new episodes available locally. I want it downloaded when I am asleep and always available locally when I want to watch. That way I dont have to worry about my internet availability. Storm can knockout my internet. The construction down the road can cut the optical cable. I may loose my internet due to a problem with the ISP. Having the files locally allows me to watch them worry free, buffer free, and when I want to.
I urge those who are annoyed by this change to provide feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I really hope this decision to remove this functionality is not a sign to come. Next I will be downloading each song one by one when I buy an album because I can just stream it in the cloud.
I love my Apple products and servies. But this totally makes me hate them right now.

I am so angry right now I can not even see straight. So the "Show iTunes Purchases Option" out of the blue showed up in iTunes this morning. I dont know if a reboot fixed it or what. But the attached screen shows the lack of that feature along with the iTunes version.
So I am not freaking crazy. So I turned it on this morning to pick up 3 new episodes. I get home tonigth and sit down on my couch with my Apple TV ready to roll... and it has completely screwed my "watched" vs "unwatched" episodes. I come to my iTunes library on my iMac and sure enough TV Shows and Movies I know I have not watched or started are marked as watched.
I have not watched a single episode of The Following Season 1, and it basically shows I have watched all but the latest 4 shows. I have not watched the last several episodes of Revenge, and it says I have not watched only the last episode. I am guessing as to where I left off, but it looks like Episode 13 was the last episode I watched and iTunes said I had only not watched Episode 19. Vikings Season 1 - I have not watched a single show, but it shows I have watched all but the last 2 episodes, 8 & 9.
Movies - I have bought and downloaded many movies that I have not watched as of yet. For instance: Django Unchainted, and all 3 Matrix Movies. I have watched a couple of the Matrix movies but not all the way through. But I had gone back and marked them as "unwatched" Everything else I had not even touched to hit play or nothing. These are all purchases.
I hunted down all the episodes and movies I knew I had not watched... which took me quite a while... and then when I close and re-open iTunes and at least the watched/unwatched TV shows stayed as I marked them. This was not the case when this feature was first rolled out with iTunes 11. That is exactly why I never used this feature in the first place. Time will tell if it remains stable with the watch/unwatched situation.
Regardless, I am so tired of taking time out of my day and writing iTunes support and giving Apple feedback so they can perhaps look into it and see if its a larger issue than just my library. So they can also maybe realize that some of us actually love their product and want to see them continue to working awesome, slick, and incredible. But as someone who is looking at 8 active season passes.... I may never buy a season pass from iTunes again. The reason why EVERYONE still has a TV antenna and/or cable is because the basic concept of how you watch the programming DOESNT CHANGE. They should take this feedback simply as TV shows are not like Movies and Music. TV shows happen weekly. Having a consistent and repeatable process to get the shows and watch them each week is paramount.
I am usually very good with change and enhancements. But this one.... has completely made me an irate Apple Customer.

Check for Available Downloads... (where are they?)

My daughter has purchased several songs from iTunes using her iPhone and my iTunes account. She never synchs with her Powerbook, so I can't do a Home Share to transfer them to my own, or any of the other computers on our home network. However, according to the iTunes menu, any song bought using our iTunes account should automatically download to my computer. At least that's how I set the preferences.
But it's not working - when I go to the "Check for Available Downloads..." menu it tells me that all my purchases have been downloaded but these new songs are not in my Library. Is iTunes not recognizing that she has purchased them with the same account? (my credit card is certainly being charged using that account) So where are they? How do I get them on our other other computers - and eventually on our respective iPad and iPods?
Any thoughts, instructions or clarifications on how this works, would be appreciated.

Do you have automatic downloads turned 'on' for your account on your computer's iTunes ? If not then you can turn it 'on', but that will only take effect from the next purchase.
Depending upon what country that you are in (it's not possible everywhere) then you might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

I downloaded a movie on itunes and turned my computer off and when i turned it back on the movie wasnt there so i went to re download and it says check for available download and it still won't let me down load it. what do i do?

Check for available downloads in the Store menu not working!

I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen and use my it mainly for the applications, and that's where my problem is!
Normally I click on Get updates on the apps I have already bought and they normally download for syncing with my iPod but for some reason they aren't. It says "x updates available" but when I click on them it comes up with a message like :-
"You have already purchased this item but not downloaded. To download it, select Check for available downloads in the Store menu"
Which I do. As soon as I click ok it comes up with a network connection timeout and the same when I click on Check for avaiable downloads - EVERY time! Done a diagnostic and network connection is ok and also can still buy stuff.
All I want to do is update these apps, what's wrong???

Contact itunes support.

Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection timed out.

I downloaded iTunes 10.1.2 last week, and attempted to upgrade some music to iTunes Plus. I'm showing 35 items in my download queue, but when I attempt to download I get a message "Unable to check for available downloads. Network connection timed out."
I e-mailed Apple Tech Support multiple times, and received their standard list of links for things to try. So far I have reinstalled iTunes, turned off my Norton Firewall, checked the program rules settings, flushed the dns cache, and unchecked the "allow simultaneous downloads" box. Still no luck.
Apple's last e-mail requested I send them my account info so they could reset my password, and check my system. I'm still waiting for that to happen.
I'd appreciate any user suggestions for this problem.

Fundamentally it is an apple itunes server issue - if you have a lot of downloads the "check for downloads" request can take longer than the default windows internet connection timeout setting - which is 30 seconds on more recent versions of windows.
You can work around it though - without requiring apple to "segment" your download list, by adding a windows registry setting.
Apple re-enabled my downloads after I was burgled and then I was stuck - my "check for downloads" was always timing out - and the support guy had no clue - so I went digging, and found a a microsoft article here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050 which tells you how to change change that default timout value by adding a registry setting. Besides adding the ReceiveTimeout setting detailed on that page - I also changed the KeepAliveTimeout - just in case.
HKEYCURRENTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ReceiveTimeout
which I set to 180000 milliseconds (3 mins)
HKEYCURRENTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\KeepAliveTimeout
which I set to 181000 milliseconds (3 mins and 1 second)
Use regedit to make the change - both settings are DWORDS with decimal values. You'll need to restart your PC to apply the change.
After the change and restart and one initial failed attempt the request for downloads worked - when the apple itunes server responded after 2 minutes !!

Unable to check for available downloads. The network connecting was lost.

I have purchased a film on my Apple TV and now want to download it to my iTunes on my MacBook. I can see that I have 1 available download, but when i try to down load it, it just keeps saying:
"Unable to check for available downloads. The networl connection was lost"
I know there is not a problem if my network!
is anyone else having the same problem? Is this a problem with iTunes or my MacBook?
cheers

Hello loz114,
This is frequently due to an inability to establish or maintain a connection to the iTunes Store. The following article provides some useful information and troubleshooting steps that can help restore this connection.

Check for available downloads does not work HELP

I had previously bought about 100 songs on my laptop, but we encountered a problem were my wireless network would not work. The support at HP wouldn't help us out unless we did a system restore first, so i lost all my stuff.
when i installed itunes again after the restore, it gave me one song from the check for available downloads option, and it says all available purchases have been located. Also, when i try to download a song I already had before it recognizes that I already downloaded it and tells me to use the check for available downloads button, which obviously is not helping me.
anyone else have this problem? I dont really wanna be out a hundred bucks...

and * is wrong with you guys!
The only people who participate here are we your fellow users, so please don't yell at us.
your making music even more expensive! $1.29 for a song i could get for free! *?!
It's the record companies who are controlling the pricing. They forced Apple to accept having more popular songs be more expensive as the price for allowing Apple to remove the copy protection. Rant at the record companies, little good though that will do.
Look for a folder called "Downloads" in your iTunes Music folder. If there is such a folder, look for files that would be the partial download and delete those, so that the download starts over from the beginning. Then try again using the "Check for Available Downloads" command under the iTunes Store menu.
If that doesn't work, contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their web page and explain the problem to them.
Hope this helps. Next time, though, it would be better if you started your own topic rather than tagging onto someone else's thread.

ITunes does not allow me to download at Store "You do not have authority to write in iTunes Media files. Adapt your authorisation in explorer and check for available downloads in Store

As administrator of my pc icannot download musc/video from Store: the message (translated from Dutch) "You do not have authority to write in iTunes Media files. Adjust your authorisation in explorer and check for available downloads in Store

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

HT1725 I have a song that didnt completly download, but when I check for available downloads it says all songs are downloaded but they are not. What should I do

I have a song that didnt completly download, but when I checked for available downloads it says all songs are downloaded. When I close Itunes and reopen it still dosent complete the download what should I do

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library (if it's still in there then iTunes won't let you re-download it) and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

VSTO-Excel-Application: Check for available new version prior to launch

Although VSTO doesn't provide anything for checking for a new available application-version (VSTO Excel-Document-Level-Customization)
prior to launching the app (but this check outside the VSTO-Application itself obviously isn't possible) I would like to know if there is a better way to handle this whole procedure.
I'm using a .Net-Application which launches Excel first, checks if all environment-parameters are ok and if so, then it eventually launches the VSTO-Application. While performing the VSTO-launch I check for an available update - if so, the Workbook
will be closed, the update will be executed silently and the VSTO-Application will be restarted. It works, but it is quite complicated and this method is not really nice.
So my question is: Is there a possibility to perfom the VSTO-Update from the Startup-Application without initially launching the VSTO-Application and so avoiding the launch of the VSTO-Application just to check if there's an available update.

Hello,
Based on your description, it seems that you want the add-in check updates before the add-in loaded.
Right?
If so, you could select Check every time the
customization runs, and that should solve your issue, because it will check updates before the add-in loaded.
You could refer to the loading process from
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zcfbd2sk.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396, sepcially the step 6.
The following steps occur when a user opens a document that is part of a Microsoft Office solution.
The Microsoft Office application checks the custom document properties to see whether there are managed code extensions associated with the document. For more information, see
Custom Document Properties Overview.
If there are managed code extensions, the application loads VSTOEE.dll, which loads VSTOLoader.dll. These are unmanaged DLLs that are the loader components for the Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime. For more information, see
Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Overview.
VSTOLoader.dll loads the .NET Framework and starts the managed portion of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime.
If the document is opened from a location other than the local computer, the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime verifies that the location of the document is in the
Trusted Locations list in the Trust Center Settings for that particular Office application. If the document location is not in a trusted location, the customization is not trusted, and the load process stops here.
The Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime installs the solution if it has not been installed yet, downloads the most recent application and deployment manifests, and performs a series of security checks. For more information, see
Securing Office Solutions.
If the customization is trusted to run, the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime uses the deployment manifest and application manifest to check for assembly updates. If a new version of the
assembly is available, the runtime downloads the new version of the assembly to the ClickOnce cache on the client computer. For more information, see
Deploying an Office Solution.
The Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime creates a new application domain in which to load the customization assembly.
The Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime loads the customization assembly into the application domain.
The Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime calls the Startup event handler in your customization assembly. For more information, see
Events in Office Projects
If that is not the one fits your requirement, then I am afraid that it is impossible to get update before the add-in loads, because we could call
ClickOnce Api but there is no such event to call that api.
Regards,
Carl
