VoRTeX15O Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hi, I need help with sampling itunes music store songs and purchases. it asks for my password then verifies and gives me error such as in this pic after trying to preview a song. sometimes, i get authrization limit reached upon after reentering acct passwd. i think it is the newest version of quicktime that i've installed that rendered itunes music store previewing impossible in addition to crashes on previewing tv shows in iTMS. does anyone have the same problem? does anyone have an older version of quicktime for download? is there a solution? thanks Mac OS version: JaS's 10.4.3 (8F1111g) iTunes version: 6.0.5 (20) Quicktime version: 7.1.2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21303-itunes-music-store-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaey Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Same problem here, slightly different error message. I tried to buy their "free" songs, got this same error when I originally tried to download it; now when I start up iTunes it tries to download them again and gives me this same error.

I have not updated Quicktime yet, so it probably isn't that. Does anyone have a solution for this yet?

cromas Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I've been having this problem since 10.4.5. iTunes has never let me purchase anything, and I used up a lot of authorizations in the process. I know that the unique machine identifier is generated partly from your BIOS information, so perhaps they refuse iTunes from OSX without an Apple BIOS?

I know that the unique machine identifier is generated partly from your BIOS information, so perhaps they refuse iTunes from OSX without an Apple BIOS? I've been buying stuff from the store since I switched and its never balked once. So I don't think its refusing stuff from "us" per se - but there must be something a bit funny. My account was registered when the box was an xp <spit> box, I wonder if they are being funny with new accounts with a BIOS and osx86? I wonder how endemic this is? //R Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21303-itunes-music-store-error/#findComment-147133 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I keep doing it it will just keep using up my system authorizations until I have to reset them. I have had this problem with 10.4.6 and 10.4.7 with three different versions of itunes and quicktime as well. Nothing seems to change the problem. I have tried changing just about every delta i can think of to make this problem disappear. Looks like I will have to boot into XP and uses itunes from the other side of the laptop. -K Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21303-itunes-music-store-error/#findComment-170373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gthlm Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I've got the same problem. I took a cue from sandwer's comment and authorised the box in xp. Unfortunately still doesn't work in os x. I don't use the music store a whole lot so it's not a big issue but still... Maybe we could narrow it down to specific chipsets/bios. This can't be a particularily widespread problem or surely this thread would be busier?

Bryon Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Works fine on my P4 box with: CPU Type: Intel¨ Pentium¨ 4 CPU Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 2.4 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB CPU Features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM EST Memory: 512 MB (DDR PC2700) Bus Speed: 533 MHz Boot ROM Version: 1.02 (American Megatrends Inc.) But on my AMD 64 box I get the out of memmory error: AMD 64 3000+ (socket 754) 2gig DDR Also AMI Bios So the out of memmory is bogus I have not been able to track the problem down any more than that. Both systems are running 10.4.7 plus the Security update from Apple update latest Quick Time and ITunes.

gufus Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 This only seems to be a problem on patched machines. No problem here on my G4 PB or my friends MacBook. It is very strange, however, that they are asking for auth when you want to sample songs... what happens after you authorize? does it work? Maybe they want you to authorize to find out who you are (bc you have a patched intel machine)???

PaCresGon Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Is there a solution? I have this problem since 10.4.3 and I would like to use iTunes in mac os x I think that the problem is something related to NIC card See that link Help us please!

dalep Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi, PacCresGon is on the right track, I was unable to use i-Tunes due to either 'not enough memory' or 'error -50' It is down to the way the network cards are set up. If you have an onboard network card enabled in the bios, you MUST have the drivers installed. Also the Built In ethernet MUST be setup on En0, the WiFi MUST be setup on En1. On my setup, if the onboard Ethernet was enabled BUT had no drivers installed, iTunes didnt work. Enabled onboard and Hey Presto - working iTunes Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21303-itunes-music-store-error/#findComment-336612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
