Why can't I make a purchase of music on itunes?

I just downloaded music I want from the itunes store but it won't let me purchase them. I just have a list of sound bites, not full songs!

Again, It's not up to Apple. They would love to have every track available to everyone in the world. The record companies and other rights holder are different in every country, though, so they require separate negotiation by Apple for the rights in each country. And since the rights are held separately in different countries, they all restrict Apple (and every other legal download store) to selling only to users within that particular country.
So again, Apple can do nothing to change this unless and until the record companies arrive at a cross-border sales agreement, something I don't see happening anytime in the foreseeable future, even within the EU.

  • Why can't I make a purchase in the American iTunes store?

    I am a Canadian resident who would like to make a purchase in the US ITunes store. I don't know anyone in the US nor do I have a credit card with an American billing address. Is there any possible way for me to make a purchase in the American store, or am I pretty much screwed? I buy lots of music and all I want to do is give the US Store my money-why is this so hard? This wouldn't be an issue if the Canadian store just had what I am looking for (i.e. TV Shows!) -why does the selection vary from country to country anyway?

    Why can't I make a purchase on my iPad

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
    What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?, we won't know what is/isn't ha
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Why can't I open my "Purchased" link in my iTunes?

    So I updated iTunes to the newest update and I have a Windows 8 laptop. I tried to open my "purchased" link and a box popped up and it said, "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unkown error occured (-1202). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later." I waited a day and it is still doing the same thing. Please help??

    You cannot open files directly with Lr.
    You have to import them.

  • HT203128 Why can't I sign in to buy music on iTunes? The prompt doesn't process my Apple ID and password after I reset my password.

    I reset my password for my Apple ID. Then go to Apple to sign in and my new password works. But, when I go to my iTunes App to purchase anything, when prompted to enter my Apple ID and password, it doesn't go through.

I just get the prompt to enter my Apple ID and password over and over and over again, which does nothing but **** me off. Someone please help me!!

    Same problem. I enter my password correctly, and I can't get in. but I can get into Apple Support and other login pages with the same (correct) password. Arg!

    There are lots of my friends who are getting frustrated with their iPhones and iPads because we cannot get most of the applications, music to buy or download even though we have valid paying systems.
