Can no longer connect to iTune store - "server is down" message

Suddenly I can no longer connect to iTune Store via my AppleTV
What should I do? Many thanks

Wait for the server to come back.  If the server is down, then there is nothing you can do about it, and you must wait for apple to get the server back up and running.

  • All of a sudden I can no longer connect to iTunes store. There is no error message - it just hangs.

    After 3 years of happily using iTunes store all of a sudden I can no longer connect. There is no error message, the attempted connection just hangs. Why?

    I ran the iTunes diagnostic and got a positive result - I am, apparently, in contact with the Store. But I still cannot connect. I have carried out all ther suggested operations ... and still cannot connect! The diagnostics gave me the following report:

  • I can no longer connect to itunes store ot internet radio

    I can no longer connect to the itunes store or internet radio.  Internet connection is OK.  Everything used to work just fine.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes a couple of times with no luck.  Itunes itself works fine.  My download speed is around 20 Mbps.  Why would Itunes radio suddenly be inaccessible? 

    Maybe check you are logged into your Apple ID.

  • My Kids can no longer connect to iTunes Store

    It seems that after the latest security patch, my children can no longer connect to the iTunes store. It just hangs and never connects to the main page. They can view there account information, but when they try to connect to the main store...it hangs. I can log into the same machine and connect to the store immediately. I checked the Parental Controls and it seems fine, nothing changed.
    Help, I have angry children who want to purchase music.

    I don't know if this will help or not, but the same thing happened to my kids' macbook. I didn't have the parental settings on the iTunes store on, but I did have the settings on the Parental Controls for the MB enabled. Although I had 'unchecked' everything, I had to actually disable it for the kids to buy anything.
    A pain, I know, but hopefully there's a work around for it. My kids itunes started that whenever we downloaded the last OSX security update. You can turn the settings off, have the kids download the music, then turn the settings back on. Like I say--a pain, but doable.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can no longer connect to Itunes store

    I cannot connect to Itunes store.  I have done everything that the Itunes support e-mail told me.  I unblocked pop-ups, checked my firewall that Itunes was allowed,  and checked my  internet connection and still no Itunes.  Itunes support has been no help other than 3 identical e-mails.  Can someone please help? Get the feeling Apple doesn't like non-Mac customers.

    Try running iTunes Diagnostics and pasting the output here.
    What firewall software are you running on your computer? Try to set it up again or uninstall it (for testing purposes only).

  • Can no longer connect with itunes store to watch movies. How come?

    I have been using Apple TV to watch movies on my television set for several months with no problems. The last movie I watched was on Nov. 22/13, but since then every time I want to rent a movie, I am unable to access the itunes store. I get a message saying Unable to sign In and that I should try again later. I have tried about 15 times over 2 days and keep getting the same message. Oddly enough I can actually watch the preview of any movie, but when I go through the process of actually renting the movie, then I get the message that I am unable to access the itunes store. What is the solution? Same problem with NETFLIX.

  • I can no longer access the iTunes store, I get a message saying I need to update iTunes but cannot as I am on Mac OSX 10.4.1

    I have an account with the iTunes store but can no longer access the store because I get a message in iTunes store window telling me to update to an iTunes version that will only run on Mac OS 10.5.  I am on Mac OSX 10.4.1 and do not plan on upgrading that version.

    This is what I had to do to access iTunes store with 10.4.11 (took all day for the downloads)
    1. download & install iTunes 9.2.1 (101 MB)
    2. download & install Quicktime 7.5.5 (61 MB)
    3. message 'need to install Safari 4.0.3 or later' (and I never use Safari)
    4. download Safari (26 MB)
    5. Safari won't install without 'latest security update'
    6. download latest security update 2009-005 (Intel) v. 1.0 (172 MB)
    7. take a long walk
    8. install security update and restart
    9. install Safari and restart
    And yes, now I can download music again from the iTunes store.  I would have given up and gone with Amazon.com but mp3 downloads are only available to folk in USA, and I'm in Australia.

  • TS1368 I downloaded the latest ITunes update, 10.6 I think. I can still sync my Ipod, but I can no longer access the Itunes Store.  No error message, it just keeps "accessing" but nothing shows up.  I've restarted my computer twice.

    I downloaded the latest Itunes update, 10.6 I think. I can still sync my Ipod, but now I can't access the Itunes Store.  There's no error message, it just keeps "accessing" but never completes.  How can I fix this?

    Ok... I just tried connecting my iPod directly to a USB port on the computer rather than via the USB hub I was using and everything is fine. Odd, but I'm happy now.
    Thanks,
    Evan

  • Unknown error -3212. I updated to iTunes 11.4.  I can no longer connect to the Store.

    I updated to iTunes 11.4 when prompted.  I can no longer connect to the Store.  Tried all troubleshooting, checked Firewall, and my internet connection is fine.  I re-downloaded iTunes and selected the "repair" radio button.  Still has not resolved "unknown error occurred (-3212)".  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Hey there ILSquid,
    It sounds like you have checked your firewall settings, and your internet connection but cannot get to the iTunes Store with your iTunes application and you get this error number 3212. I would look over the troubleshooting in the following article to see what steps have yet to be done. Infact I would recommend doing the troubleshooting sequentially from top to bottom.

    If you still cannot get to the iTunes Store there is a more advanced troubleshooting article with more to try, here:

    i can no longer connect to itunes. a message comes up "we could not complete your itunes request. The itunes store is temporarily unavailable. please try again later. but when i use a different acct. it goes through right away . why did this start happening?

    I don't know - but I am having the same problem and have not had any useful help from Apple Support.  Everything they told be to do has been done and it hasn't fixed the problem.

  • Hi - for some reason, my IPAD3 mail client has decided it can no longer connect to my Exchange server.

    Hi - for some reason, my IPAD3 mail client has decided it can no longer connect to my Exchange server.  It's worked like a charm for weeks.  Any thoughts?
    For the record, I've got a POP mail account that is working fine on the machine and the WIFI is up and running (Safari is loading fine).
    Thanks

    Hi Jim,
    Your issue is the most FAQ in the forums, it is an ongoing problem with Tiger waiting to be fixed by Apple. Till then, forget your aliases and use either Command-K or from the Finder Go-->Connect to Server and enter the remote Mac's IP address to connect.
    Also, Open Utilities-->Terminal and type lookupd -flushcache (Press Return) and reboot. Do this for both macs.

  • Since updating my iPhone 3gs to ios6 I can no longer connect it iTunes. How can I fix this?

    Since updating my iPhone 3GS it IOS6 I can no longer connect to iTunes. How can I fix this? I checked the settings for iTunes and it appears to be correct.

  • HT204076 Since I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.2 last night, I can no longer connect to my imaps server.

    Since I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.2 last night, I can no longer connect to my imaps server. Other clients can connect to the server. Rebooting the device is no help. Before the update (i.e. 8.1.1), it was working fine. Is this a known issue?

    No, it is not a known issue. It is a known non-issue. Try resetting your IMAP login ID and password. Both the incoming and outgoing. If that fails delete the account reboot the phone, and add it back.

  • Problem after updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista.. I can no longer access the iTunes store..

    Hi
    After updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista I have found that I can no longer access the iTunes store... I am left with a blank iTunes screen with the loading bar stuck at halfway..
    All other features seem to work... only opening  the iTunes store is failing..
    I have ran the diagnostics feature and this says everything is ok, so I'm a bit stuck
    Please help

    Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!"  You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
    The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3).  I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store.  My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5.  Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs.  I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store. 
    Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
    I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.
