Can't connect to iTunes Store since I downloaded iTunes 8

Hello! I've been here before. Same problem, different version.
I was here a few months ago when I couldn't connect to the iTunes store version 7. Everyone was so helpful (I believe it was Katrina S.) and after fixing the firewall issue I was able to connect, thank you.
iTunes 8 came out and I elected to upgrade. . .stupid me. I have the same problem again, but I fixed the firewalls on the last version. What the hey is going on? Anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix out there? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
The message is: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."

Most likely the problem is again with some firewall/privacy filter. Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? Some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes. Consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure; you can find instructions for Norton on Symantec's web page for iTunes. You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
Hope this helps.

Can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

Ok, I am having literally identical issues with Marathon Max.
I try to connect, and it says, "Itunes could not connect to the itunes store, Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have contacted my ISP, and they ran a full check, and sayed I should be able to connect to pretty much all websites. I did the whole "ipconfig" thing and that was no help. I also tried the "msconfig" thing, and it sayed it did not recognize it as any kind of command, internal or external command or operable program or batch file. Whats strange is I can connect from another computer just fine, but when offered to upgrade itunes I declined for fear of the same thing happpening. I am tempted to just upgrade it and thus demonstrate that itunes has a flaw in their upgrade. I will save this computers diagnostics, and the other one's too, before and after the upgrade. I look forward to sending more feedback regarding this matter

ITunes can't connect to Music Store - error 502

Since updating to iTunes version 7.1.1, I haven't been able to connect to the Music store at all. I've sent messages to Apple twice stating my problem, but I haven't gotten a response at all. My connection, of course, is fine, but I can't connect. The message I get is "iTunes cannot connect to the Music Store. An unknown error occurred (error 502). Please check to make sure your network connection is working and try again."
Anybody have any answers?

You may want to consider performing the following to be sure no software is conflicting with iTunes:
1.) Disable all anti-virus software you may have running
2.) Disable all firewall software you may have running
3.) Disable all web acceleration software you may have running
4.) If you are connected to the internet via an internet router, please disconnect it and connect directly via your broadband modem

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

Cannot connect to the itunes store following update of itunes

Have just updated my itunes on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer. Now I cannot connect to the itunes store. Have checked firewall settings, all OK. My daughters computer (also windows 7 64 bit) is still working OK, but HAS NOT got the latest version of itunes updated. Have other people had this problem with the latest update? There are no error messages. Just hangs there for a while then apple logo appears at the top with a blank screen. The black tool bar is also devoid of options.
Has anyone managed to work out why and how to fix this?

I had to use an additional command:
netsh winsock reset catalog
[hit enter]
netsh int ip reset reset.log
[hit enter]
Reboot.
My iTunes can now connect to the store. Hope that helps someone.

Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

Can sign in with Apple ID, but can't connect to App Store for updates

My wife just received her new iPad on Friday. When she went to update the apps that indicated they needed to be updated, she was able to sign in with her Apple ID. However, after a few seconds of processing the message appears that her iPad was unable to connect to the App store. (She was connected to the internet through WiFi). The next day at the Apple Store, the same thing happened as well as to other users, including those at the Genius Bar so we are not alone. Any insights? We thought that by the end of the weekend the issue may have been resolved (high traffic / server overload???) but still locked out of the App store.

OK so here is what seems to be the problem -- Apps and under which account they were purchased / downloaded. My wife had downloaded a slew of apps under my Apple ID in the past, so when she attempted to sign in with her Apple ID there is now a conflict (this was not an issue before iOS 5.1 or so it seems). This simple fact totally prevents access to the App Store. This explains why my iPhone could connect to the App Store (it only has apps downloaded with my Apple ID) and hers could not.
So we sat down and made a list of all of the apps on her iPhone and iPad (the ones she wanted to keep), then went into iTunes and clicked on APPS (under Library in the left column). Once you are in there, a list of apps installed appears. Right click (option-click) on each app icon to GET INFO -- this displays which Apple ID account was used to download that particular app. (Thanks Rysz)
Thankfully all of the apps that were causing the conflict were free, so it was simply a matter of deleting these particular apps off of iTunes (on her iMac -- right click to delete) as well as her iPhone and iPad. Then all you need to do is re-download them when she is signed back into the App Store with her Apple ID.
After I deleted all of the apps, I again tried to sign in to the App Store to re-download the apps she wanted to replace. But I was still getting the dreaded error message stating "Can't Connect to App Store". So on her iPhone I went to Settings and reset the network connection, signed back in to our Airport WiFi network. Tried again, no luck. Signed out of the App store and re-signed in, and glory hallelujah -- I was now able to access the App Store and start the download process for both the iPad and iPhone (thanks Thom_D for the suggestion).
Once everything was back to normal, plugged each device in separately to her iMac and resynced in iTunes. Knock on wood, I think it is now working like before.
Hope this helps a fellow user out there.
