Can not connect to the itunes music store

yea, I can't connect to the iTunes music store. a message pops up saying, "iTunes could not connect to the music store. The network connection was refused" then it goes on to say that "Make sure your network settings or correct and your network connection is active, then try again." well this started happening on and off before 6.0.3 came out, then when I upgraded to 6.0.3 it would always do it, not letting me access the store. I have deleted iTunes and reinstalled it, reset my modem and router, restarted my computer. And the internet connection works fine, because I am typing this on the computer I am having the problem with, and I can connect to services like aim. also, i have another comuter on my network, and it connects to the music store just fine. please help, thanks!

This is a case of Apple stripping out/changing the proxy support in the iTunes software. Apple broke it and so far has not come up with a fix or even an appropriate public response to this.

  • Ugh: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Music Store"

    G5, OSX 10.4.10, iPod 5G 1.2.1, iTunes 7.3.1.
    Actually I have not been able to access the music store for over a year. It stopped working after an iTunes upgrade I do not recall. 2G finally died and I just bought a new 5G.
    I can enter the music store and preview songs, but I cannot "add song" or access my account.
    I logged out and re-started iTunes, now I cannot log in and I cannot even "create a new account". Always same error.
    I have trashed and re-downloaded and re-installed iTunes a couple times same results. Keychain First Aid did not find any problems. I run Cocktail 3.8.1 a couple times/week (defaults). I have few fonts and none of them appear bad. I do not have any web accelerators.
    Any other ideas? This is bumming me out.

    Howdy jjlearnt,
    It sounds like you're getting an error anytime you try to get to the iTunes Store in the iTunes application. I can see how that would be frustrating. Take a look at this article which mentions the error number you are getting:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Itunes could not connect to the itunes music store.

    I have been reading the posts and though this issue has been reported repeatedly, I cannot seem to find an answer of how to solve the problem.
    I am using a Gateway desktop computer (550GR) Windows XP Home Edition, iTunes (latest edition) and unfortunately have never been able to access the store. I used to have Norton Antivirus but decided to uninstall it to see if this would solve the problem (It did not). I decided to use the EarthLink Protection Center (but unfortunately I am still not able to access the music store). I have allowed the program in firewall exemptions in both Windows and PCC but to no success.
    I have uninstalled iTunes on two occasions to see if this works but it has not. I have run out of options and would appreciate any help. Thanks.

    I've copied diagnosis from iTunes:

  • Apple Mobile devices and Itunes is taking up 100% of my CPU and I can not get to the Itunes music store on 10.5

    I have installed the 10.5 version of the Apple Itunes app.  Now when I bring it up it takes up one whole CPU and my other CPU is used up by Apple Mobile devices.   I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2.    I have tried uninstalling all Apple products and reinstalling them but with no luck.  Please if anyone has any advice I am all ears...

    Thanks, Andrew for your help.  Not sure if you will see this, but I did the above and it said the HD was okay.  Rebooted it and still won't go past login page.  Tried it again and this time typed in the line /sbin/fsck -fy and then it came up and said HD was okay, but said something about being modified.  I once more rebooted, but it still won't get past the login screen.  Besides taking long to reboot, as before, I am able to enter my password, but then it hangs up with the rainbow icon rotating continuously.  Does this mean that the disk is corrupt or partially so, and if so, can you advise how I should proceed?  TIA again.

    I've been having this problem for weeks and have found no solution to it. There are lots of other people with this issue too if you look back on the boards. I even e-mailed AND called Apple and have had no luck. I tried all the suggestions they gave me and all the ones I found on here- nothing worked. I even uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (boy was that a pain!) and no difference.
    The weird part is that I have an old laptop that works and if I buy music with the laptop I can download it with my regular computer buy buying does not work on my regular computer. That tells me it's not a connection issue. I can't get to my account either.
    I can't figure out why an issue that has kept so many people from purchasing a product has been ignored!

  • I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

    I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

    Thank you very much for your insight; I guess I had assummed that iPads/iPhones/iPods were here in Brazil and further assumed that the iTunes store would also be available.

  • Itunes can not connect with the Itunes store

    Every time I try to connect to the ITunes Store an error pops up :  Itunes can not connect with the Itunes store.  I have downloaded the updated software and have access to the internet.  Anyone ever run into this problem?

    If it still has problems after trying the steps above, try resetting Winsock. It looks like it worked for a few people in this thread -> With iTunes 10.4 I can access iTunes store.

    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter and it should say something like winsock reset successful now reboot your computer.

  • Can not connect to the nokia music centre!!

    I am very frustrated, i bought the 5310 so i could get the unlimited music and now when i have downloaded the nokia music centre i am told that there is an issue and i can not connect to the nokia music centre!
    Also very annoying is who to call - i bought the phone from carphone warehouse but it is on orange contract however nokia brand ...... who is responsible or can give me assistance re the nokia music centre and issues?
    So I have called nokia and they tell me that they have an issue!
    Is everybody having this issue or is it just new accounts?
    Possibly it has something to do with the new download available which allows some to break through the restrictions re copying and sharing? I have not done this - as i can not even login yet.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I have the same problem and its really annoying im fed up with Nokia telling me they have an issue...ill give them an issue
    Do they clearly not understand that they are losing future customers by not fixing the problem that i reported a week ago and was told that someone would contact me back and i still havent heard anything and that i have another 2 months to try and log on and register my pin they gave me to download music and im losing faith that this problem will not be resolved any time soon
    If anyone gets any further or can fix this please let me kno
    A very angry customer!!!!

  • Why can't I buy an In-APP purchase? It says that I can not connect to the iTunes Store and that I will have to contact iTunes Store Support.

    Hey everyone
    With my iPhone 4S I purchased the NAVIGON Europe App, downloaded needed files and maps within the App and all worked fine. But when I try to buy certain add-ons via In-App purchase I get a window telling me that it can'T connect to the iTunes store and that I have to contact iTunes store support.
    This is what I have already tried to make it work:
    Reset my iphone via iTunes (set it up as new iPhone)
    Changed itunes store payment option from Click&Buy to credit card
    restarted iPhone several times
    scratched my head
    checked restrictions under settings in iPhone: all is correct; in-App purchases allowed
    chewed my lip
    finally sent a message to the itunes store support.. waiting for their answer
    no changes so far. I still get the same error message.
    Any ideas?
    hugs

  • I can't get into the itunes music store - can anyone help?

    When I try to get to the itunes music store, I get the following error message:
    itunes could not connect to the music store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. Then try again.
    I don't understand what this means, and I don't know how to do what it is telling me to fix it. I'd appreciate any advice anyone can offer. Please be very specific, because I don't have lots of computer knowledge.

    Were you connecting regulary up until a week ago? I have noticed that I have gotten a lot of those messages tonight. May the iTune site is very busy? (a lot of iTunes cards given out today)
    I closed iTunes and then re-opened and it helped. My connections have been intermittent at best tonight.
