Fixing “One Moment Please” bug in iTunes

Update: Another possible solution that I did not try is recommended by Yousuf Omar is the following: 1-sign out from the store menu 2-de authorize computer 3-sign in again and every thing is up and running. If it works then please tell us.

I had a strange problem in iTunes in the last 2 weeks. Suddenly the iTunes Store section in the app is stuck with “One Moment Please” on the screen. You can’t enter the store or view your account. I did not find the cause of this problem but I know of one solution to fix it.

Important Notice: the fix will reset your iTunes settings. It will not delete your applications/playlists/library etc. Go go to iTunes menu then Preferences and take a note of your settings.

Now quit iTunes then using Finder go to your home folder ( /Users/yourname ) then go to Library then Preferences folders ( /Users/khaled/Library/Preferences for example).

Locate the file named com.apple.iTunes.plist then move it to your desktop folder. Restart or just start iTunes again. iTunes will generate a new com.apple.iTunes.plist file.

Check if iTunes Store is working or not.

This is the method I have used. Tell if you had the same problem, know a better fix or even know the cause. All comments are appreciated.

  2. I have come to the conclusion that our brother Khaled is a genius, I had the same problem for a couple of weeks and I tried all those i-tune forum’s advise, nothing worked. I even deleted and reinstalled i-tunes again and lost all of my tunes. All of that didn’t work.. Jazak Allah Khair Khaled…

  5. Hello Guys.
    I tried Yousuf Omar recommendation and it didn’t work, it gives me “error 50”. So I will try the other solution and see if works.

    Gracias my Friend.

  9. Khaled, yes totally agree, you are a genius, I have faced this issue for more than two months, searching and finding on the Macforums and other sites but nothing worked. What you suggested works perfectly and now I’ve got the connection to the Store.
