Error 403 on iTunes Muisc Store

When I try to download music on my iPod mini it says Connection Error 403 Please check your connection. Does anybody know what I can do to fix this? Please respond ASAP! THANKS!

I guess I was lucky. I downloaded an album after 12 trips to the advanced button to retrieve undownloaded items. Unfortunately I only got 19 of 20 selections, and the message says I've received everything I paid for (NOT!)

I may just blow another .99 to get everything, as I suspect I will waste a lot more energy and aggravation to get caught up. I am not happy!

I'm having the same problem. i've used itunes before but today was the first time i decided to actually purchase something. I upgraded to 6.0 today without hassle so i could download "lost". it purchased it and began to download, but then stopped because "my network was down" (which it wasn't). I tried again and it downloaded halfway through before i got the same error message telling me to check for purchases, which won't open because it can't access the music store. I'm very turned off by this whole process because i don't even know if they took my $1.99!!

does anyone think they will respond to this problem? will i ever get my money's worth or, hopefully, my money back?

who can you contact about something like this without being told to check your purchases, which it seems no one can do?

Itunes is really ticking me off tonight. I got the same error message during the middle of downloading an album, so I only got about 10 songs out of 16. When I clicked "check for purchased music," it only gave me one more song, and said everything I purchased had already been downloaded.

I am NOT paying .99 cents each for these other songs I already paid for. Somebody needs to fix this problem promptly.
