iTunes Music Store issue
I recently downloaded the latest version of iTunes 8. I was about to play a track that I bought via the Music Store some time ago, and got a popup saying that my computer wasn't authorized, so I entered my password. After it communicated with Music Store for a long time, it reported back that my computer is already authorized, but did not continue to play the track. When I tried to play the track again, the same procedure happened again. After restarting iTunes, and trying it again--around the 5th or 6th time rather than saying my computer was already authorized, it reported that some component is missing. I plan to download iTunes all over again, but my bandwidth is currently tied up with something else. Anyone have any other suggestions I could try in the meanwhile? BTW--I don't know that this problem coincided with the latest download. I very rarely play the small handful of tracks I bought from the iTunes Store. This may have been a problem that existed for a long time.

OK a required iTunes component. The exact wording is: We could not complete your iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed. (-42403) And in smaller print: There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later. I expect re-installing iTunes will do it, but I still have to put that off a while. I was wondering if someone had any other ideas? (I'm running most recent update of iTunes 8 on OS 10.4.11 on a G4 AGP upgraded to 1.4 GHz. I also use Libra to manage multiple iTunes libraries.) == Joe the Juggler 4148 Wyoming St. St. Louis, MO 63116 (314) 771-3243 http://joethejuggler.com == --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
