Error message 503

I just updated iTunes and a message keeps popping up saying:

"The shared library “Store Purchases” is not responding. (503)


Check that any firewall software running on either the shared computer or this computer has been set to allow communication on port 443."

Everything seems to be working fine but the message periodically keeps popping up.

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Same for me here in the UK on El Capitan. 😐


Seems to be the iTunes store/App Store full stop though. Just setting up this machine and I can't login with my Apple ID on iBooks either...

An unexpected error occured while signing in.


plist parsing error


I've also had problems updating apps on both my iPhone 6s and iPad Mini 4 this morning, and two of them - IMDB and Google Translate - still won't update at all.
