Can't make iTunes purchases! Help!

[SwingOnThis]

Ok, i'm synced to two different iTunes installations, one at home and one at work. BOTH are authorized.

Yesterday i tried to redeem a gift card on my home installation and told me it wasn't valid. Then i tried to purchase a TV show episode and it timed out over and over, not allowing me to buy it. Also, i noticed that the little box that shows your available balance, next to your email address in the top right corner, doesn't show up on my home iTunes.

I just redeemed the gift card here at work that it wouldn't allow me to redeem at home last night.

I have the current version of iTunes on both machines.

Anyone know what the problem here is??

I had a bit of a problem last night with itunes also. I was trying to get some updates of apps and would not let me sign in. One time it told me my password was incorrect. This morning everything is fine so I think it was a problem on Apple's end.

Edit: Just went to itunes and now my balance is not showing up. It was last night.

Closed itunes,open again and now balance is there. WTH
