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?

"iTunes store temporarily unavailable. Please try again later"

i get that error message everytime i try to check for purchases to download my pre orders. i can download a new song or cd i just cant get the stuff that i pre orderd. Please help me this has been going of for a month and iTunes support is no help at all.

My son is also getting this exact message on both our new laptop with Vista and the older desktop with XP. I am NOT having this problem on either machine. He has 18 downloads waiting and can't download them.
I have checked firewall settings, pop up blockers, outdated account info, and msconfig. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and still am having this problem with his account.
I also tried logging into his user account on both the laptop and the pc and then logged him out of itunes and then logged myself in to see if it was the installation. I had NO problems. I then turned that around and logged into my user account on both the laptop and pc and then tried to log him into MY installation of itunes, but OOPS, got the error message again.
This has been going on for months and appears to be arbitrary. Sometimes a song will download, but sometimes another won't. He bought an album and only some of the songs downloaded. The others are "waiting to be downloaded" and when we try to "Check for Purchases", he still gets the message, even though he's IN THE STORE!

"Complete my season" is not working for my iTunes store?? I keep getting an error message saying the iTunes store is unavailable over a week or more??

My itunes store is acting kinda funny...
When I click on "complete my seasons" under TV shows I keep getting an error message telling me:
"The itunes store is unavailable at this time" this has been going on for over a week or longer.
Any idea how to fix this or why it keeps telling me the itunes store is unavailable?? I have signed in an out and still I can not see all the seasons of TV shows I have purchased.
Thanks,
Max

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

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

Since upgrading to OS 10.9 some labels in the iTunes Store are unreadable. I tried resetting the cache in prefs with no luck. Any one else have this problem?

Strangely enough the pref file did not show up in the Preferences folder. I don't know what this means but it could be signifigant.

Firefox has been unsuccessfully attempting to download a software update for a few days now... What's the problem?

Firefox has been unsuccessfully attempting to download a software update for a few days now... What’s the problem?

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Why wont the iTunes store load in my iTunes?

Hi, my name is Garrett and i am a 13 year old boy why loves music and cant get his itunes to work. i have tried completely wiping my computer clean then reloading windows 7 then reloading all my files and last installing a freash new version of itunes, and jst today i updated to 10.6 or something like that, but it still had the same problem. i have a 3.5 year old dell inspiron laptop with an intel pentium prossesor and to my knowlage this has nothing to do with it. so iTunes opens just fine but when i attempt to open the itunes store it just has that striped loading line at the tope of the page that jst keeps going and going and going and never stops. i left my computer on for an intire day to prove to my self that i either have the slowest computer on earth or iTunes store doesn't work. so i tried opening it through my Quicktime player and it had the same problem exept when i closed the window and error came up and the number was 11222. all i need is for iTunes to work otherwise i am stuck to only lisening to music from other websites and not on the go. i am fed up with iTunes not working and them taking down that "email the support guy" thing and the fact that they left some of us in the dust not knowing what to do. if someone could please help that would be great:) if not...well then ill have to wait till i get a job and can earn enough money to buy a new computer.
Thanks,
Sincerely, Garrett

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

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 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
