When I ran into that issue, I tried all kinds of troubleshooting tricks that I was able to find on Google, but only a live chat with Apple's support rep helped (http://www.dominikras.com/2012/11/the-itunes-store-is-temporarily.html)


I would never suspect that before, but as some of the replies admit, silly ampersand or some other invisible wierd back-end issue coudl get in a way - in my case they had to reset something on the bck end in my account to get me back up and running.


Give the live chat a try - it might be your quickest solution.
