I am having problems positioning an image wrapped in a link.

here is the html:

That doesn't work. The image refuses to be placed in the center and just stays positioned to the left (see image: i have set background colours to make sure the element spans over the 100% of the width of the parent element).

I have also tried:

#order a {left:50%;
transform: translate(-50%, 0);
}

I want the iTunes logo in the middle.

You can change this CSS:

#icon {
    width: 60%;
}

to this:

#icon {
  margin: 0 auto;
    width: 60%;
}

See this fiddle for the working code. The icon doesn't appear because its a relative filename but if you inspect it you can see that it is centered within the containing element.

try to align center

#order{

}

Try using margin: 0 auto, like:

#order img {
  margin: 0 auto;
}

Have a look at the snippet below (use full screen):
