Problems with Music Store w/ iTunes 4.7?

Post by Quipp »

Since I updated to the latest version of iTunes(4.7) I have been experiencing constant errors and failed connections to Music Store. I checked on Apple's iTunes forums and this looks to be a big problem for many people with this latest software upgrade.

Just curious if anyone else here has been having similar problems, and if so what version of iTunes you're using. If you haven't already, you might want to hold off upgrading your iTunes software until Apple gets this issue sorted out.

edit to add: Now that I think about it, not sure if this is the right forum for this question or if EBG would be better suited. Oh well, I'll leave it to the Overlord's henchman to decide. :wink:

It never occured to me to check the forums--I just assumed the iTunes store was down. I've not been able to connect since upgrading either. Luckily, I rarely buy music, so it's a nuisance and not an out-and-out disaster.

After the newest version of iTunes came out I had alot of trouble connecting to the Apple Store which was around a month or so ago? I don't have too much trouble connecting now. I chalked it up to server traffic, especially with the launch of the iShuffle.

I've had no problems getting to the iTunes store with iTunes 4.7.1.

I'm on a Mac, though, so I don't know if that would effect anything.
