Why is the iTunes store on iPhone so slow?

It would seem loading a text list with small thumbnail album cover artwork would be relatively quick and easy. Not so. Takes several minutes to navigate to a song I want to buy. That's if it doesn't crash beforehand. Is it just me, or does it seem iTunes is getting worse?

Force quit all apps - iOS: Force an app to close
Reset iPhone - Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Why is the ITunes Store in South Africa so limited

why is the ITunes Store in South Africa so limited

Apple can only sell content where the rights-holders grant them licenses to sell it (and in some cases a country's laws also limit things). If there is a particular item that is not currently available that you would like to be able to download then you try requesting that it be added, but unless the rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
For music you could check to see if its available on other music purchase downloads sites that you have access to (or if it's available as a CD then you could buy that and copy it via your computer's iTunes).
For ebooks there are other ebook apps/stores where it might be available e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc

Why the itunes store on iphone doesnt have all the songs?

My computer doesnt work but in the itunes store not all the songs come out why is this?

Hi Chaaparrita,
I don't relate your last with the fact that you marked your question answered. iTunes content shouldn't be different whatever support you are using to access (iOS, Mac, PC). Only the store homepages is different depending if you access from an iPad, PC or iPhone.
But doing a search should gives you the same result. Could you name the album you don't find on your iOS device with the country you are in?

Why is the iTunes Store (iTunes Mobile) Icon missing from my iPhone 3GS?

I got an iPhone 3GS a couple of weeks ago and decided that see what the iTunes Store would be like on my phone. But I have looked everywhere, and I can't find the icon.
I looked on the Apple How To page and searched Google, but couldn't find anything on this. The Apple How To page did say that the iTunes Store is not available in some regions, but I'm in the US on AT&T, so I'm pretty sure that its supported here.
I do have the Apps Store Icon, and haven't noticed anything else missing.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

if you have all 11 pages filled in apps on the phone... it might have shoved off into the uncharted spaces...
try a restart... i find that if i'm using the dock at the bottom to move icons around i loose the built in icons from time to time... power down and back up restores them.

Cannot Connect to the iTunes Store on iPhone

I can't get itunes to open on my iphone. It says that I need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network, but I am! How can I get around this message?

When you are connected to a wifi network that will not allow you to connect to the itunes store, here are a couple of things that might help out.
Go to settings > wifi and make sure there is a network that has a check mark next to it.
On the right side of the screen, tap on the blue arrow of the network you are connected to.
Is there an ip address?
If so, make sure it does not start with 169.254.
If so, or if not, tap on forget this network at the top of the screen.
Then try to join the network again.
Also, you can go to settings > general > reset > reset network settings.
Once the iphone restarts, try joining the wireless network again.
Hope this helps.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Why does the itunes store show the apps I have downloaded Free or the price instead of "downloaded"?

I have encountered this problem since Christmas. When I open the itunes and want to search the apps I have downloaded, and it keeps showing these apps free or with a price instead of downloaded. However, I have not encountered this problem in my iphone. This problem makes me confused that whether I have downloaded the app if I do not check the "Purchased".
Like the following one, even though I have downloaded the app, it shows the price to me instead of "downloaded".
p.s I have logined in to my acct.

I hadn't used visited the iTunes store looking for books for many months. When I went this afternoon I found it stupid, offensive and frustrating how hard it is to find books instead of audiobooks. What am I doing wrong? The main menu in the store doesn't even list books anymore. Just audiobooks. The only way I could get a link to a book download was by searching for the author. That then gave me a choice of book or audiobooks.
I see plenty of books (in the U.S. store).

Why does the iTunes Store (iTunes 11.2) keep asking for my Apple ID password on launch?

iTunes 11.2, Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
The iTunes Store keeps asking for Apple ID password on launch, and with every download, even when I am already logged in to the iTunes Store with my Apple ID. I am using iCloud, my iCloud account is set up on my iMac and I am using iCloud Keychain. My Apple ID password is stored in my Keychain. So why can't the iTunes Store remember me?

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Why is the itunes store saying my un or pw is incorrect when its not?

I had to restore my ipad mim of my daughters because she disabled it after forgetting her pw and entering it too many times. The apple experts then told me to go to itunes store on computer and sign in with my un and pw for her ipad mini and i could downlad my purchased apps back onto her ipad mini. But now I dont know what to click on or if Im signed in and wehat im doing, Is there live expert advice from apple? i got it yesterday and talked to someone but now i cant find it anywhere???Please someone helpp me now.

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
I assume by 'my un and pw' you mean your iTunes id and password. If you do then you can redownload items directly on the iPad. If you aren't already signed into your account on it then you can sign in via Settings > iTunes & App Store and what can be redownloaded for that account will show in the Purchased tabs in the App Store and iTunes store apps on it - music, films and/or TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries (audiobooks and ringtones are one-off downloads), and content providers may also have removed their items from the store, so not all purchases may show.
To do it on a computer's iTunes, you can sign into an account via the Store > Sign In drop-down menu option (if an account is currently logged in then you will have a Store > Sign Out menu option instead)
What can be redownloaded for the account will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page :
You can then sync themto the iPad
Redownloading an account's past purchases may tie that computer or device to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

Why is the itunes store repeatedly unavailable? I've "tried again later" for a few days now...

Problem occurs only when I try to purchase items. I thought it could be a bad network connetion, but as it's supplied by my school im unable to reset the router and stuff. What do I do?

Hello AlecP17
Check to make sure that you do not have anything blocking access to the iTunes Store. The article below will assist with troubleshooting your issue.

Why is the iTunes Store so slow for me?

I have fast cable internet but when I surf the iTunes store it's like I'm on dial-up or something. Especially with previewing songs and loading pages etc. It's been this way for quite some time, I'm using iTunes version 10. Thanks.

you know very well it has nothing to do with itunes or the modem/router. apple servers are very very slow and its an absolute disgrace.
you can download from third party servers at twice the speeds (at your own risk)
Apple is the second largest company in the world and they treat customners in this way

Why does the iTunes store no longer sell any Pokémon anime TV programs or movies at all?

All I saw was that there were two Pokémon anime movies available at the iTunes store:
Pokémon: The First Movie
Pokémon: The Movie 3
But sadly, now they're gone, and then there is currently no longer any Pokémon anime TV programs or movies available at the iTunes Store at all. But just want to know all about the reason there isn't.

Apple can only sell what they are granted licenses to sell - if the content providers haven't granted them, or have decided to remove their items from the store (which the occasionally do), then Apple can't sell them. You can try requesting that items be added to the store, but you might be better off contacting the providers (film studio, tv company) and asking them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

I live in Australia. Why is the iTunes store in an Asian language?

I would like to browse the iTunes store, but it is in Chinese or Japanese and I only read English. I have tried going to the iTunes store via apple.com.au as well as by opening my copy of iTunes, but it is the same both ways.
I notice that iTunes works using time zones. Am I getting this Asian version because I live in Queensland, which does not have daylight saving time, whereas the southern states of Australia do?
Other than waiting until April when daylight saving finishes in the southern states, is there anything I can do?
Pam

I asked someone who can read some Japanese to look at this. Almost every word on the site is Japanese, except "Podcast" (click on that and the submenu is Japanese) "R&B" and some other thing I forget.
This person was able to identify the "change country" button, which was set at Japan (in Japanese). He showed me the USA choice (he couldn't identify the usual characters for Ausralia) and from the USA site I was able to then choose Australia. But without someone literate in Japanese I wouldn't have got anywhere.
I can't see any duplicate fonts. I have a big collection of fonts and look after them well.
I know Queensland is in the same time zone as Japan, and with daylight saving we are not in the same time zone as the Australian iTunes store. Elsewhere in this forum, I have seen people being advised to have their time zones set correctly if they are having problems accessing the iTunes store.
So while I have found an indirect way around this, maybe there is something for Apple to look at as other Queensland customers could be affected by the time zone difference (if that is what is doing it).
