iTunes not able to connect

Hey guys, I just preordered two albums (Vices and Virtues and When You're Through Thinking Say Yes) and they just came out today. I can't connect to iTunes to download them, but my account says the money was taken out of it. Any pointers? Anyone experiencing the same thing?

Maybe something with iTunes servers?

If there aint some maintenance going on then it has to be the OS update. Apple better sort it quick , a lot of cash will be getting lost and they wont like that.

Do you think it's iOS 4.3.1?

Still no fix to this awful problem. To me what the next thing that apple should do is just through itunes carp code out of the window and start from the scratch. I mean every pice of machine from apple works just as advertised without a single problem except itunes it is just full of problems. A year dose not pass without a stupid problem with this stupid program. Apple for god sake just change this thing

So it seems that this was a temporary issue with the store. From abouit 22.00 I could update all my apps on my Macbook Pro and also download new apps on my iphone.

However, on my iphone I have 4 apps still pending with their update. Some are classified as "waiting" and some as "loading" but there has been no progress in 12 hours. In the meantime I have been able to download and update new apps but nothing changes on my "hanging" applications.

Anyone else having this issue and got a solution?

Same here - whether music or an app, on the Mac or an iPod touch. I've disconnected and reconnected our network connection and relaunched the site multiple times. I've logged-in successfully with my Apple ID in this same period, so that's not the issue. Seems very much like a major iTunes store failure. Hope we get an answer and (more importantly) a solution soon.
