Reset Music Store cache | Reset the iTunes Store cache (the temporary location where your computer saves iTunes Store pages you visit). If you return to that page later, iTunes can retrieve the page from the cache faster than getting it from the internet. This option is only applicable when the content on a page seems outdated or if the page isn’t opening properly. Music saves the store pages you visit on your computer in a temporary location called the cache. If you return later, Music can retrieve the page from the cache faster than getting it from the internet. If the content on a page seems outdated, you can reset the cache to retrieve the latest version. If you think a page isn’t opening properly, resetting the cache may help. | ||||||||||
