Wifi music store of EDGE?

I am not an iPhone owner, but I am highly interested in it. Does anyone know if the iPhone allows you to buy songs from the iTunes wifi music store over an edge network?

Its a bandwidth concern. EDGE is remarkably slower than WiFi, so downloading a single song could take upwards of 10 minutes.
That would be over an hour and a half for an average album. Just not feasible.

  • ITunes WiFi Music Store not working

    I got my iPod touch about a week ago, and I have been very pleased with it - apart from the iTunes WiFi Music Store. At the moment, I am travelling across the USA, where I picked up my iPod. During the time I have been travelling (about 2 weeks), I have managed to use all the features on the iPod successfully, except the iTunes music store. I have been connected to several different wireless networks, from which I could access all features (maps, YouTube, stocks etc.), with the exception of the iTunes WiFi music store. This isn't such a problem, as I don't use iTunes, but as I have paid for this feature, I would like to use it.
    Does anybody have any solutions to this, with the exception of restoring the iPod?

    I started using my iPod on my uncle's computer, as I am abroad at the moment, but I am going to sync it with my computer when I get home. I'm not really interested in purchasing songs from iTunes, I just wanted to have a look at the app - but I have to have a registered iTunes account on my computer for this to work? If it takes that much efforrt, I don't think it's worth it.
    Thanks for your help, everyone.

  • ITunes WiFi music store - Unable to Download Song

    Hi, All -
    When I have tried to use the iTunes wifi music store off my home network connection it will seem to download, but it won't finish. I get a window saying "Unable to Download Song. This item will be available for download when you log in to the iTunes Store on your computer." Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of the whole wifi store. Why can't I download to my iPod Touch for instant gratification and enjoyment? Am I doing something incorrectly? Do I need to tweak the configuration.
    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I had this a few hours ago downloading a whole album of 14 tracks. Eventually by "tapping to retry" all of them finished downloading. Some I had to tap at least half a dozen times to finish downloading. I have previously downloaded at least a couple of dozen tracks with no problem so I think this is a problem at the store (at least the UK store) at the moment.

  • Youtube and Wifi Music Store Bug?

    Ever since I upgraded Itunes to the new 7.4.2 version that was just released and synced my 16gb touch I cannot access youtube or the wifi music store. Whenever I try to access either one I get a message that says "Cannot Connect To Youtube/Itunes Store". Safari works fine. I tried resetting the ipod but that didnt work. I haven't tried doing a full restore yet but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I looked online and a lot of iphone users have been having the same problem. The weirdest thing is that all of my bookmarked videos show up and I can watch the no problem. But when I try and search for new videos I get that error message. Help!!

    Hntjohnson,
    iTunes 7.4 or later will be required for the ringtones feature when it becomes available. The WiFi Store will be included in an update for the iPhone.
    The following links will be updated as those features become available.
    For ringtones:

    For the WiFi Store:

    Hope this helps,

  • 7.4.2 = WiFi Music Store?

    Does the 7.4.2 Update include the WiFi Music Store for the iPhone? If not, do we know a time frame for getting the update?

    Can only hope that there is a little more then simply wifi itunes in the next update.

    In itself, no it does not provide the additional service, though of course in respect of the iPhone and it's access to the iTunes store, iTunes itself is only the enabling technology (meaning the bit that allows you to download the iPhone update when it is issued).
    As yet no word on when Apple will release the updated needed, so we continue to wait!

  • Apple Wifi music store issues

    Is any one having trouble buying music off Apples wifi music store?
    I can connect to the wifi and surf the web briliantly but it cant recognise my account so it wont allow me to buy music. Ive bought music of itunes on my pc at home no problem and I have been signed into the itunes store What is wrong?

    I do not have this problem.

  • WiFi Music Store Release Data?

    I thought in the keynote address it was announced that "next week when you sync you iPhone the iTunes WiFi button will appear". It has been 2 weeks since then, and I was just wondering if anyone had any information on when this is actually going to occur.
    Thanks for any information you have!

    Your recollection is incorrect. The actual statement was nearing the end of the iPod touch presentation, where Jobs revealed that the iTunes WiFi Music Store was also being brought to the iPhone. The statement was, "...available a little later this month.", and also the follow-up, "...the next time you sync your iPhone...". This was referring to iTunes triggering a software update for the iPhone during sync (after the actual release) that would install and activate the feature.

  • Where is the wifi music store icon supposed to be?

  • WiFi Music Store Purchases Fail To Download

    My very first attempt to purchase music on my iPhone through the iPhone iTunes WiFi Music App caused, and continues to cause, me much frustration and disappointment.
    Background: I purchase music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro just fine, and my iPhone is synced with iTunes from my MacBook Pro and so my iPhone is well aware of my iTunes account info, etc.
    After some playing around and experimenting, it seems that I can purchase and download (on my iPhone, using the WiFi iTunes app) "regular" songs just fine, but "iTunes Plus" songs cause a problem. The music I first attempted to purchase was "iTunes Plus", and all attempts to purchase any iTunes Plus music fails in the same manner.
    I touch the button to buy, I enter my account password when prompted, the red bubble bounces down onto the Downloads button, and after about 1 full second the red bubble disappears. I touch the Downloads button and there is nothing there. No purchase occurred, and I never get billed. It's as if iTunes Plus songs cannot be purchased on the iPhone using the WiFi iTunes app.
    Can anyone please tell me if there is some problem or known limitation? Am I doing something wrong?

    Ummm... Thanks, I think, but this didn't address my problem. I'm not a novice user, and I already know everything this article says.
    What I do not know, and am having trouble with, is why I cannot purchase and download iTunes Plus content, when "regular" content purchases download without issue. Given that regular content purchases download without issue, it isn't my iPhone, my iTunes account, my WiFi connection -- what is the problem with purchasing and downloading iTunes Plus content reliably?

  • Dropping Purchases on iTunes WiFi Music Store

    When I've purchased a song on the WiFi store I get prompted for my password, it then downloads a couple hundred KBs and comes up with a dialog saying "All iTunes downloads have been completed on your computer".
    This is really frustrating as I use the WiFi store so I can listen to songs instantly instead of waiting until the weekend to use my Mac at home. Am stuck using a PC for college
    Anyone know what the problem is?

    That was seriously the weirdest f*ing thing I have ever seen. I literally looked one more time on iTunes WIFI store and there they were. But, I swear to god they were not there 10 minutes ago when I posted this, and I have never seen them before until now.
    Anyway, thanks!

  • Is WiFi music store up and running for ipod Touch?

    I didn't think it was but I was listening to the MacWorld podcast and they were talking about how great it is and how the guy bought some songs off it. Why is it already available for the iPod Touch and not iPhone people? That's really annoying if it is.

    Well okay ill give you that. But i mean you can always go to the notepad on the iphone and type in a note the name of the artist and song. Just as easy. Plus you wont always be in a WIFI area. If your on the highway you surely wont be in a WIFI area. I see it as a ploy to make more money. Smart of them.

  • Wifi Music Store Problem

    I recently bought 20$ worth of songs, after a few days of enjoying them I encountered a problem. They where all deleted, and to my luck none where backed up . Is there anyway to recover my songs, or do I need to repurchase them?

  • Disabling web browsing and Wifi Itunes music store

    We're thinking of getting a iPod touch for the kids for xmas and I'm wondering if there is a way to disable web browsing and iTunes wifi access, since I understand there are no parental controls available on the touch. Thanks

    yes there is no way to disable this icons, and the only way to do this is to put a password on your wireless router settings, this way they don't know the password and that they can not access the safari, youtube, and the wi-fi itunes music store.

  • Music Store in iPhone 2.0

    Because the App store will be available in Edge and Wifi, will the music store now also be available in Edge?

    There is no indication that this is the case. Apple has long indicated that audio and video content synchronization will be available only via USB, and not via Bluetooth, WiFi or over-the-air carrier conduits such as EDGE. The special Starbucks iTunes Music Store is obviously an exception to this general policy.
    In general terms, the Terms of Use of Apple Discussions prohibit any discussions which speculate about unannounced or unreleased products.
