ClickandBuy and iTunes problems

I have exactly the same problem, tried with different browsers etc etc. iTunes support team told me there should be a button that says something like 'return to merchant website', but there is no other button than 'continue' and nothing happens after that which makes the whole process loop. Super annoying and no music to buy and download!

Yep, I have exactly the same problem today, very annoying. I hope they fix that quick, 'cause it was already fairly complicated to open the Click&Buy account (took several days with their verification procedures), only to find that it doesn't work... AND my Itunes store account says that my last purchase was made today when in fact the app that I wanted to buy never appeared.

Same problem here...

I've got the same problem... after validation my account on the click&buy site, i'm redirected back to itunes, but no confirmation of the validation in itunes. and i'm not able to buy any apps.

I've got the same experience. It just doesn't continue the process

EDIT: I found a workaround, clickandbuy is finally attached to my iTunes account.
I saved the link which should redirect back to iTunes and in iTunes, I went back to the screen where I should accept the agreement. While at that screen, I refreshed the iTunes link in my browser and suddenly it was attached 🙂

ok..I'm on something here.
Quick question: did you recently install/uninstall chrome?
Because:

- I have the same problem on windows xp
- since nothing happened I started logging events/register calls
- I discovered a failing webrequest, fired by the itunes app:

it was firing a nonexisting browser: chrome.exe
I uninstalled this some while ago, but apparently its still there in the registers.

- I fired up regedit (run-as) and did a search for 'chrome.exe'
- I replaced all occurences with a valid browser path

now if I press 'continue' a browser popups ith clickandbuy..

I found a possible workaround. When you're redirected back to iTunes from the click & buy site, copy the URL. Go back to iTunes and in iTunes go back to the screen where you accept the agreement. Now insert the copied URL into your browser and run it. After that continue the process. This might activate it, hope it works!

I can confirm the above posters are onto something when it comes to re-opening the URL.

I was going crazy hopping from iTunes to clickandbuy and back again in circles. iTunes simple would NOT accept the confirmation URL going back to iTunes and register it. The solution? Copy the URL and paste it into FIREFOX. It did not want to work at all in Safari, for some reason.

Hope that helps.

Wow THANKS A LOT! this has made my day. click and buy doesn't work with google chrome, somehow. so copy the link in firefox and you're done!! Hope this helps a lot of people!

Thanks a lot for posting this suggestion. That did the trick for me after days of infinite loops.

Steps in case they are useful for others:

For the purpose of using the iTunes Store I had been advised to create a new Apple ID and activate it for free downloads first through the App Store. Method here:

Associating this Apple ID with Click&Buy for downloading paid Apps and Music had not worked before.

Today I initially attempted this paste and refresh method with Safari but that resulted in an error message in iTunes which said the set up had failed.

Pasting the redirect url into a nightly built Safari / WebKit afterwards and trying again resulted in the activation of the account. I'm listening to the first successfully purchased album right now!

Hi, I have the same problem. I've tried all the options mentioned above but click&buy and Itunes remain unlinked. I've copy pasted the redirect link in Firefox, then Itunes opens but nothing has changed. The loop doesn't end.

I need help, cause it's driving me MAD!

Thanks

Are you trying to be funny by getting me into another loop? By following your link you finally end up here again. I've read all this posts and tried everything but it doesn't work. Why GOD WHY!

Hy, I've got the same problem. Could you maybe try to explain it to me in Dutch? I can't really figure out which link you're talking about and where I should pasted that link to. I'm getting pretty exhausted from the whole thing :S

Hi, could you maybe try to explain this to me in Dutch? I can't really figure out which link you mean exactly and where I should paste it to...I'm almost at the point of throwing my computer out the window trying to figure this out :S
