When will the downloads in the iTunes Store be offered in Apple Lossless?

There are a lot of stores that offer music downloads in original or even in studio quality. So when will Apple do that too?

Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to Apple or iTunes Support here, we won't know until if/when Apple announce something.
You can try leaving feedback for Apple, but it will also need agreement from the record companies to supply their music to them in a lossless format : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • When trying to download app from itunes store I get message: Apple Id has been disabled.  I  have reset my password, but the problem has not been resolved.

    When Trying to download applications from the itunes store, I receive a message that my Apple Id has been disabled.  I reset my password, accessed my Itunes Account successfully, but when trying to download, the same message appears.

    You need to contact Apple Support, particularly iTunes Store support team.  Cheers!

  • When will the itunes store update my podcast episodes?

    Well, here it is a month now, and iTunes is still not updating my recent episodes in the iTunes store. Yes, I know Subscribers can still get the episodes, and they show on my Podcast App, but for people searching for new Podcasts to listen to, they can't get my most recent (and better) episodes to listen to. I have sent two emails to the podcasts at apple address, and no reply. I see most podcasts have new episodes showing, and now I'm just getting ****** off about it. The fact the engineers 'know about it' and are 'working on it', does little to pacify me after an entire month of this being messed up.
    What to do next? I've been patient and trying to wait it out knowing 'eventually' it will be fixed, but for brand new Podcasts this is a very important issue.

    I had this problem too, wrote apple and no reply. Finally I wrote libsyn (where my podcasts are stored) and they replied within a day and also contacted iTunes for me and asked them to manually add my last two episodes. iTunes did that within a couple of days, but it took a couple more days for iTunes to show that anyone was downloading those episodes.
    Another problem is that I had been on new and noteworthy for my main category and sub-category before. Those usually update pretty regularly too I think - not sure because i only checked them a couple times a week before I started having these problems. Even though I had twice as many downloads yesterday (430) than normal, it didn't change my standing at all on the new and noteworthy chart. I'm in my subcategory, but haven't made it back up to the main category I'm thinking because of this glitch.
    If you have any thoughts on whether or not this is affecting our standings in the categories, Roger, I would love to hear them. I realize we can't really do anything about it anyway, but it would be nice to know. Here's a link to my podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-christian-habits-podcast/id899589208?mt= 2
    Also, wanted to say how much I appreciate reading all your advice to everyone, Roger! Sorry I'm not putting this new problem in it's own stream, but I wanted to share with Joey what helped for me to get the episodes up.

  • When will the iTunes store be fixed?

    For the past few days I have not been able to login into my itunes store, which has kept me from downloading new music and enjoying myself. I know that other people are having a similar problem (error 5002), but there has been no response for when it's going to be fixed. If anybody has new info please let me know, especially if you work at Apple! thanks

    for well over a month i have pretty much pulled all my hair out over not being able to open the store. this week i finally got on, but that didn't last long and went down again while itunes was still open. but today it was great, fast connection right away, so i bought some things. then when i had to restart my computer, yet again no luck opening the store.
    however, i found that if i restart my computer, it will open eventually. so i just shut down and restart until i get itunes to open. i am computer illerate, and haven't attempted any of the fixes noted here on the boards. but since SO many people have issues i wish apple would at least acknowlege the problem. sigh

  • When accessing the Itunes store on my Touch, I am unable to click "buy now," though I can search and preview items.

    When accessing the Itunes store on my Touch, I am unable to click "buy now," though I can search and preview items.  I have already cleared off and made enough disc space.  Unsure what the issue could be. 

    Logout from your iTunes store account on that device and then log back in to see if that helps

  • ITunes for Windows: Error -9812 when accessing the iTunes Store

    So here is the situation. When I try to access our iTunes U site from the public link it works great, when I go thru the link that has me authenticicate it works on macs but on PC's I get the error message "iTunes for Windows: Error -9812 when accessing the iTunes Store" it's happening all thru our campus with PC users. Any ideas?????

    We're having similar connection issues, and the error log on our web server says something about a certificate error. I noted that last year on this date there were messages related to certificates. Is it possible they are updated every Dec 2, and we should count on some down time?

    Hi,
    I am going on iTunes and it is saying that I am not connected to the internet but I am. I was on iTunes last a few days ago. Please help...
    iTunes is a program on your computer, it is not "the Internet".  The fact that the program runs has no bearing on Internet connectivity.
    Maybe if a little more information was supplied, like version of the Operating system on the computer and version of iTunes, then a little more assistance could be provided.

  • When will the app store be available?

    yeah I watched the keynote about the app store and I wasn't sure the exact day. The new iPhone is coming out this month as well am I correct? If so, then thats when the app store will be available. Sometime after the new iPhone release. They will prob. come with the app store before shipped.
    No, the app store will be out when the iPhone Firmware 2.0 is released. The 2nd gen phone is to be released "some time in 2008" not necessarily when the 2.0 update is released. However, Apple has been letting stock of the 1st gen iPhone draw down so you can make your own conclusions.
    Right, well, here's the news of what I know...
    Apple Stores of New York City and New Jersey (Freehold, NJ, others unsure) are out of stock.

    I have the same issue.  I try to download an app from the App store on my iPhone 5, and just says that I can not use that user ID to purchase from iTunes.  I saw a couple of threads that this might be an apple issue?  Not sure though.

    No one here can answer the question (if or when that might happen). We are users here and do not speak for Apple. In fact, it violates the TOU to speculate about future Apple plans.

  • I am unable to get the iTunes store to accept my Apple ID and password, despite having received an email from Apple indicating that the ID and password are valid. I purchased an iPad and need to sync my laptop with it, but I can't download any apps.

    How do I get apps downloaded from the iTunes store? Every time I try to sign on with my user id and password, I get a message stating that my account has never been used to purchase anything from iTunes before, and that I need to review my account. Yet when I click on the link to review the account, it just leads back to the store.  I have tried "starting from scratch" to attempt to create a new account again, but get the message that my email is already associated with an Apple account, so it won't let me start over. I just purchased an iPad2 and am trying to get started with downloading items,  but getting nowhere fast. If this is an example of how Apple does business, I may be returning the iPad2 for a refund.

    Have either of you had any luck with this issue.  It began happening to me today when I was trying to purchase music on iTunes.  I have purchased music and games in the past and have had no problem.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Why iTunes 10 crashes when accessing the iTunes Store?

    iTunes 10 is local working well after starting. I can play all my music, videos , etc. When I like to access the iTunes store iTunes crashes without any warning.
    What can I do, to fix the probleme?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am running iTunes 10.1.2 on Mac OS 10.6.6
    All my home sharing is turned off as is Genius (which was causing crashes on startup). I don't share my library. In fact I'm pretty sure I've turned off as much as I can.
    If I access the iTunes store, iTunes crashes.
    If I run Genius, iTunes crashes
    Sometimes if I plug in my iPhone, iTunes crashes (I think it's going out to the network to find updates)
    If I download a podcast or subscribe to a new podcast iTunes works OK.
    If I turn off my network iTunes runs fine.
    It seems that whenever iTunes talks to Apple's servers it crashes.
    Here's what was posted to /var/log/system.log when iTunes crashed trying to access the iTunes store:

    Hopefully someone from Apple reads this forum and can let me know of a fix.

  • When does the iTunes store usually update its libraries with new content in the US, specifically TV shows?

    Hello Apple community. I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me approximately when the iTunes Store usually updates its content. I have a couple TV shows I'm watching. I noticed that new episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball and The Looney Tunes Show tend to update with the newest episode the day after it airs. Gumball is usually updated on Tuesdays, sometimes every other Tuesday, but the new episode isn't available on the store yet. It's possible that a holiday threw the scheduled update times off. Still, I would like to know approximately when the iTunes Store updates. I like to plan things out so I know when to purchase gift cards. Thanks Apple community.

    The facility to ping the Store, to draw attention to a change in your podcast, has been removed: the Store will check your feed and update - usually this takes 1-2 days. I was never convinced that pinging made any difference anyway.
