Why can't i purchase songs in "browse"

Why can't i purchase songs from "browse" mode?

I suddenly have the same exact problem with both my Macs - MBP 10.6.8 with iTunes 10.7, as well as an old PPC. The button for 'buy" "or "download" or "rent" is no longer functional. I click on the button but nothing happens.
And we're not alone - there are a lot of similar complaints just recently in Apple discussions and other forums in the past few days. It doesn't seem to matter which OS or iTunes version is used, or even if it's a Mac or PC. Apparently its only affecting some. So far, there doesn't seem to be a fix.
Maybe if enough people complain, Apple will find a fix.
Edit: I just saw this temporary fix on another thread that worked for me:
"click on drop-down, add to wish list, and then answer yes to the prompt about "prices may change, do you want to download now" works."

  • HT3951 Why can't I purchase songs from other countries?

    I am currently residing in Singapore, however there are artists releasing songs from the US and I can't seems to purchase them as my account is only limited to local purchases. What can I do about it??
    Please assist.
    Thank you,
    Jason

    Why? Licensing from the media companies.  If an agreement hasn't been set up then Apple cannot sell the media.  You can probably bet that if Apple can sell something they will because they are probably very happy to take your money.
    You can see if another vendor in your country does sell the item.

  • Why can't I purchase songs on iTunes anymore?

    I have about $30 left on my account, but just recently, I haven't been able to purchase music.
    Whenever I click on the price of the song to purchase it, the "Verification Required" window pops up asking me to input my apple ID (already filled in) and to type in my password. After doing so, the "Sign-In Required" window pops up, and I type in my password again. However, after clicking "OK", the "Sign-In Required" window pops up again, and I have to keep inputting my password to no avail. I know that I have input the correct password, because it does not say that my password or apple ID is incorrect. I even tried changing my password, but I still can't get past this "Sign-in Required" problem .
    Any way to fix this?

    Tried that.  Didn't work.  Any other ideas?

  • HT1848 why can't I transfer songs from my itunes account to my ipod?

    On my computer I have tons of songs on Itunes, how can I transfer those songs to my Ipod? I have already sync my Ipod. I also owe money to itunes, could that be the reason why I can't transfer purchased songs and burned songs from cds to my ipod?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Why not copy them from your old computer, ro your backup copy of your old computer?
    No need for such a gross over reaction.

  • Why can't I see the column browser in iTunes 11.4?

    Why can't I see the column browser in iTunes 11.4?
    Just imported a CD of rare folk music that a friend gave me and want to edit the title, album name, etc like I used to.
    In iTunes under "View" the column Browser options are greyed out - not available.
    Seems that this is the view where editing is possible.

    Select Songs (not Artists or Albums) at top and you can use the Column browser.

  • Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles??

    Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles (meaning these songs don't exist in Library but actually do)? I really don't want to scroll through 5,000 titles to remove these items.

    Hi mitzlet,
    When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Why can I not move songs/playlist from my iPhone5 to my iTunes on new laptop?

    why can't I move songs/playlist from my iPhone5 to my iTunes on new laptop?

    The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Why can't i sync songs from other sources in my library into my iPhone?

    why can't i play songs from other sources in my liberay that i sync in my phone

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • Why can't I purchase my entire wish list anymore?

    Why can't I purchase my entire wish list anymore?

    You can't buy it all at once, if that's what you mean. Apple for some unexplained reason removed the "Buy All" option a while back. Perhaps they'll put it back in a future update; it's a subject that certainly has been brought up a number of times in these forums.
    Regards.

  • HT1349 Can't sync purchased songs listed as protected aac audio file to Blackberry Link. songs marked just aac audio file. Repurchased one song and worked O.K.. Is there an easier way than having tp re-purchase half of library?

    Can,t sync purchased songs marked Protected AAC audio file to Blackberry Link. Songs marked just AAC audio file O.K. Repurchased one song now listed as AAC audio file and now works. Any simpler way to do this with existing protected song other than re-purchase all of them?

    wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

    Add the ability to randomly select a new background from a pre selected group of photos every time the player is turned on or each day.
    I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
    I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
    Once again, great review

  • Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

    I have tried to re-install Lion, delete different cach folders, etc., nothing is working - I keep getting the same message:
    We could not complete your purchase
    The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
    Please can anyone be of kind assistance.

    If you are trying to reinstall Lion, you need to use Lion Recovery
    Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message:  The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
    For that issue, quit the App Store if it's open. 
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go
    Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
    *****   Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion.

  • I can't find purchased songs in Music Library or in Recently Added.  The purchases are on my account.

    I can't find purchased songs in Music Library or in Recently Added.  I have searched my library but they are not there.  Itunes says that all recently purchased items have been downloaded.  Where are the songs?

    I don't know how, but this problem resolved itself for me.  If you don't see the downloads go to Documents, My Music, iTunes and then scrounge around to see if you can find a file with new downloads in there.  Then you can drag them to the iTunes icon. 
    Then try shutting down iTunes, and your computer and restart to see if this issue fixes itself.  I know, only a Mackie would think that a computer could fix itself.

    What happens when you try to buy it, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we are fellow users, we won't know why the message is appearing) : 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
    If it's a different problem ... ?
