Q: iTunes Error Message: iTunes Store is Temporarily Unavailable
I've tried everything, deauthorize, etc, it's showing I have 9 downloads available, but when I try to download, I keep getting this error message, that goes for purchasing, etc.
Is iTunes Store Temporarily Unavailable?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Found the solution:
Open the terminal and clear the cache (log out of iTunes first)
dscacheutil -flushcache
After you clear the cache, log back into your iTunes account, go to edit account, and make sure to update your name: For example we use initals, S&J with the last name as Y. I removed the "&" sign, and just left the first inital, and removed the "." after the "Y" for last name, and it worked fine.
I also updated the telephone number too. This worked for me, it also could be a fluke, or that it's working for everyone too, but no issues after this, so far.
I hope this works for the others who are experiencing this.
