Why does iTunes say "temporarily unavailable" when I try download my "available downloads"? HELP!!

You don't have the typical symptoms that I associate the following issue with (normally the error kicks in just when folks visit the Store), but just in case try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:

  • Why does it say "unknown error" when I try to purchase new episodes for the walking dead game?? :(

    Why does it say "unknown error" when I try to purchase new episodes for the walking dead game?? I have all of billing info up to date, changed my password etc etc and still get an "unknown error" message. Help!

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Store and sign out and then sign back in.

  • Why does iTunes Store stop working when I try to view a certain category?

    When I go to the iTunes store, I try to browse through the different apps. For example, I will click on "Entertainment" then on "Top Free Apps" then it will show a blank screen then my computer will say iTunes is not responding and shuts off. What can I do to fix this issue?

    Hi Guy's
    I cant seem to purchase from iTunes. Its telling me its unavailable. Its been doing this for a couple of weeks so its obviously not the case. I think its maybe my settings are incorrect. Its a new issue so its something i've messed around with.

  • Why does it say invalid address when I try to update apps

    It keeps saying it's invalid, but it's not

    Just figured out mine.
    They are not just using full address validation against the bank/credit card record.  They seems to be using USPS validated addresses.  So Bank/CC Address -> USPS validation -> source address, compare to iPhone/iPad Address -> USPS validation -> target address. As such, matching the addresses between iphone/ipad and the bank/cc record letter for letter is actually NOT necessary and as some of you have tried, doesn't.
    Like mine for example, I use a PO Box as mailing address.  The number needs to be the full number. The USPS version of my po box address actually has a couple of leading digits that are normally not relevant but that becomes necessary now.  So my iphone address actually has extra digit prefix than my cc record.
    Here's one thing you might want to try:
    This link goes to Experian QAS website.  It has a free USPS address verification tool.  Enter your address (no personal and or demographic info is needed) and see what the USPS sanitized version looks like.  Change your phone to match and see if that alleviate the problem.
    http://www.qas.com/address-software/free-address-lookup.htm
    If you worry about privacy, as a test, put in your neighbor's address, you might gleen some info on why what you have on your iphone/ipad is not validating.
    Disclaimer: I do not work for Experian and receive no compensation posting this link.

  • Why does it say missing plugin when i try to watch a video or play an online game

    While i'm in safari and i try to watch certain videos or play online games it says missing plug-in

    Download and install the latest flash plugin only from the adobe flash download page.  I believe safari is disabling or removing older versions of the flash plugin.

  • Why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

    why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

    Be sure it is really a 3rd gen. Some people with 2nd gens were told they were 3rd gens.  Identifying iPod models or Look up specs by Serial Number. If it is a 2nd gen, then you can't upgrade.
    IF IT REALLY IS A THIRD GEN iPod Touch, then you first need to upgrade to iTunes 10.5 in order to download iOS 5 because older versions of iTunes don't support and can't sync with iOS 5.

  • Why is itunes store temporarily unavailable?

    Why is itunes store temporarily unavailable?

    Choose one that suits you:
    they forgot to pay their electicity bill
    someone tripped over the power cable and pulled the plug out
    because someone wants to find out how many people don't understand the word temporarily
    Since you don't tell us which country you're in, it's hard to say. But if I were to get that message when I tried getting into the Store (which I can at the time I'm writing this), then I would simply try again later. Even though "later" is an unspecified time -  to occur in the future, I would not try after two minutes.
    If after 24 hours, the same problem occurs, don't give up.
    If after three days, I might wonder if everyone had left the country and not included me.
    I'm sure it will be available soon.

  • Why does itunes say the entry point is not found

    why does itunes say it didn't install correctly and to reinstall?

    Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
    I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
    When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
    "After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
    Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
    I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
    Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
    It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
    Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
    I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

  • HT201210 keeps saying "ipod update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable" when i try and restore my ipod touch..any ideas?

    keeps saying "ipod update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable" when i try and restore my ipod touch..any ideas?

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • ITunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

    iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

    Hey Christownsend,
    Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Why does Itunes say it can't find the original file for a particular song?

    why does Itunes say it can't find the original file for a particular song? and then asks if I want to locate it? I can't access a bunch of old song files. any new cds are available to me in itunes. all others are not accessible. how do i merge the new cd's with the old ones so that all the songs are playable in Itunes. thanks.

    Of course, I have backed up to CD and/or external drive.
    I'm wondering if you're attempting to maintain your library on your external HDD? If iTunes has been directed to use a location on your external hard drive as your iTunes Music Folder location (you can check this in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab) you MUST ensure that the hard drive is connected to the computer and mounted in the Finder prior to launching iTunes. If it isn't, it can cause this error to appear. This is probably one of the most common reasons this error begins to appear.
    It seemed my purchased songs were the first to DISAPPEAR and I had to rebuy.(Nice scam in the bug?)
    So... why not restore them from your backup? If, for some reason, this wasn't an option, you could have also recovered them from any iPod or iPhone they were currently synced to (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848), or, you can also email iTunes Store support and request a "regrant," which is a once-per-account exception they might be able to offer you and allow you to download missing purchases again.
    I am now convinced this a HUGE BUG in 7.7.1. and possibly the previous version or two.
    I'm not so sure... I've never run across this particular error (my library is stored on my internal hard drive, but copied to an external for backup purposes with an application other than iTunes or Finder. I don't think Apple will provide acknowledgment to issues experienced only by very small numbers of people... I'm one of those, perhaps foolish, individuals who allows my computer to download updates immediately, rather than waiting for fear of problems, and again, I've never had this error.

  • TS1424 I get the error 'Store credit temporarily unavailable' when I try to buy an album. There is credit available. I have tried re-setting the cache and warnings and logging out of Itunes.

    I get the message 'Store credit temporarily unavailable' when I try to buy an album. There is credit available. I have reset the cache and warnings and logged out of Itunes.

    Apparently there is an issue if you try to make a purchase which is more than the amount from a gift card. It should charge the balance to your stored credit or debit card. It doesn't and displays this error instead. This issue is known by Apple but no fix date was given.
