Cannot access ITUNES music store

similar problem as others: recent download of ITUNES, first no audio now no access to Music Store-- broken chain symbols after long delay. All other sites work well. Has anyone with windows XP been successful since yesterday? If so, how? And how did you get ahold of someone at Apple?

Thought you all should see this!!!!!!

Suddenly cannot access iTunes US store. Says that I am at a UK iTunes store. How can switch back my US account?

Sign/log out of your apple account then log back in. It will then allow you to use the US store.

After downloading iTunes 7.4.1 - Can not access iTunes Music Store

After downloading iTunes 7.4.1, I am unable to access the iTunes Music Store. When I try to open the store, an error message appears saying _*iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error has occured (-3212) Make sure your connection is active and try again.*_
Please help, if you know of anything I might be able to do, please let me know! =)

did you ever get help? I have been working with the Itunes store for nearly two weeks and haven't gotten my movies yet...

Want to access iTunes music store but not in a 'valid' country

Hi, I'd really appreciate any help anyone can offer. I want to be able to buy music and videos for my new iPod and I have registered online. When I go to buy something with my credit card from the iTunes store, apparently you have to have an address for your credit card and a list of country's excluding Australia comes up. The problem is there is only about a dozen countries on the list and mine is not one of them so I can't pay by credit card. What can I do???

I really wish I was informed when I bought my ipod, that Itunes music store is not available in NZ and we don’t know when or IF it is going to be. Am feeling totally ripped off as one of the reasons I bought my ipod on Sunday was so I could download Audio books off itunes for when I am travelling. Now I go online and find out that I cant even download a measly single let alone a audio book.
Was feeling so excited about having my ipod and now just feel ripped off and extremely disappointed with Apple and the Apple salespeople. You are told how great itunes is and how you can download video, songs, books etc (when you are buying your Ipod) then once you have paid you $579+ (just for the ipod, let alone another $300 on accessories and warranty) you find out you can't download anything from itunes. Am pretty disgusted really! I researched my purchase, was going to go for a CREATIVE merely so could access NZ download sites, but was talked out of it by the sales person who showed me itunes and how great it is and I do think the IPOD itself is fantastic but wish I had of bought that CREATIVE so at least then I could have downloaded songs; books etc immediately. Bad Form from Apple, particularly given the amount of money I just spent :(((

ITunes 9.0.2 Crashes Trying to Access iTunes Music Store on Startup

HI, everyone,
I installed iTunes 9.0.2 today in preparation for an iPhone software upgrade, but iTunes freezes 100% of the time just after it starts up and tries to access the iTunes Music Store. There's a bit of activity in the progress bar when iTunes first starts, and then the progress bar for accessing the store shows half way finished and the program crashes (every time).
I've reinstalled, rebooted, removed and replaced the preference files and my library, all to no avail.
I'm running WinXP Pro SP 3, patches all up to date, but now I can't access my library on my computer nor can I upgrade my iPhone.
Others of you have had similar problems; one of you reported a "parental control" issue with CA security suite. I have Trend Micro and can't find any parental controls to deal with.
I have IE 8 installed but use Firefox 3.0.15.
This has been a horrible day. I have many papers to grade for my college classes and expected the installation to go smoothly (as the ones in the past have; iTunes 8 worked great).
Please help!

Hi, b noir,
No, I'm afraid I don't have Nod32 installed. I wish I did--maybe a simple fix!
I'm working from home using the laptop the school supplied me. It's a domain machine, and Trend Micro's OfficeScan is installed but it's offline (though it seems to be working). The Windows firewall is disabled, probably because of the school's antivirus installation, so there doesn't seem to be a setting I can access.
I'd guess something on my machine is forcing iTunes to free as it starts to access the Music Store. My heart just sinks every time I start iTunes (dozens of times today), only to see it freeze solid every single time I open it.

Can't access iTunes music store anymore!!

I recently just added Webroot Spysweeper and Norton Anti-Virus, while I made changes to the firewall on Norton and completely disabled Spysweeper, I still keep getting an error when trying to connect to the iTunes music store with my account.
"We Could Not Complete Your iTunes Store Request. An unknown error occurred (-50).
"There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later. "
Then if I skip logging in and just click anything such as Music, Movies, TV Shows directly, I get this error...
"We Could Not Complete Your iTunes Store Request. The network connection timed out.
"Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again"
My internet connection is fine, but I can't figure out what is happening.
Please help!!

I can't access "Run Diagnostics." It only shows "Run CD Diagnostics." In fact, I can't even get into the Apple Discussions Support website. I am having to use my other computer to send these posts. My other computer has not been upgraded to Internet Exporer 7.0 yet and it will bring up Itunes Music Store okay, so I can see the "Run Diagnostics" you are talking about just fine. Any other ideas?

I have also done a full reset on my ipad and now it wont activate because there is a problem with the activation servers???? what the ****?

I have I tunes installed on Windows 7 but cannot access the music store to purchase. Set up an account but cannot access that now. Suggestions?

Can someone give me some feedback on how to access the itunes store from my itunes music library using Windows 7 operating platform? Sometimes nothing happens. Other times rectangular boxes appear on top half of screen and words like "Today's Music" and song names appear but then computer locks. Other times the bar across the top acts like it is accessing the store but nothing opens.

How to get iTunes Store to Work with Windows 7
First, Remove all iTunes and supporting software – and all “remnants” using Revo Uninstaller. Ensure you set Revo Uninstaller on its “Advanced” setting.   You should be able to download a Revo trial software version at no cost. Recommend one follow the directions posted at this website:   http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
The goal/intent of these directions/procedures is to ensure complete removal of all iTunes and its supporting software. Make sure you get all of it, or you will end up repeating this lengthy procedure.
Next, before reinstalling iTunes:
Start-> Programs -> Accessories -> (Right Click On Command Prompt) ->Run the Command Prompt as Administrator then type in:
netsh winsock reset, hit enter, restart PC.
After this procedure, then reload the latest version of iTunes Software and see if you can access the iTunes Store.
If the iTunes Store does not open or completely open after installation, then run this procedure:
Start-> Programs -> Accessories -> (Right Click On Command Prompt) ->Run the Command Prompt as Administrator then type in:
netsh winsock reset, hit enter, restart PC, open iTunes… then open iTunes Store (yes, this is a repeat of the command line you ran prior to installation).
After this procedure, you may find the iTunes Store’s “initial page” will open. However, you may not be able to access any music within the iTunes store…   Ensure you are logged in with your name and password…
Once you know you are logged in with your name and password, then:
On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return on the keyboard.
You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
But wait, there’s more! Now you need to go to the “Edit Button” of iTunes and select “Parental”.   Under “Parental”, check “Allow access to iTunes u” and then ensure iTunes Store is “unchecked”, then press “OK” to ensure this configuration “takes”. Then, stop and restart iTunes. You should now have a smooth running version of iTunes with full access to the iTunes store. If not, then please modify these directions for those requiring a solid solution. Thanks

Can't Access iTunes Music Store, Please Help

When I open my itunes and click on the music store, I can not access it. It says, "Could not complete the music store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later."
My internet connection is fine, so I don't know what is going on. My firewall is set to accept itunes requests. This has been going on for a few days now, I'm clueless on what's going on. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'd start off by going to the "Advanced" menu and selecting "Run Diagnostics...", then choosing to test for network settings to the iTunes Store. It should tell you if a firewall really is blocking you from accessing the store or if something is going on, I would think.

Cannot Login itunes Music Store to deactivate old Emac

I had forgotten to deactivate itunes on my old Emac running 10.3.9 fully updated before doing an erase and install. I thought that I could still do this but now when I try to login to the itunes store on the emac it tells me that it cannot connect to the itunes store, check my network connection. I know that I have a good connection because I am able to surf the internet no problem. The itunes version is 4.01 I think. Is it now not possible to login to the itunes store from this computer because of the old software?

Incase anyone else is looking for the fix for this problem here is how I resolved it. I realized the itunes was not connecting to the itunes store. The internet was working fine and the firewall was not the problem so I decided to see if a newer version of itunes was the fix as itunes 4 is what was on this computer. I found out that itunes 7.7 would work on Panther 10.3.9 and found a download link through the macfixit forums. After downloading and installing 7.7 I was then able to connect to the itunes store and deauthorize the computer.

Cannot buy book from iphoto or use itunes music store

I cannot get a book to print from iphoto or access itunes music store through my school network. My school has a PC network, I am the only teacher to use macs in my classroom. I can access the music store through XP on parallels so I know the network connection is good. I believe the problem is a network setting either on my macbook or in our server. Our Tech cannot identify the problem. I just updated all applications to the latest versions.

Seems a Firewall issue on the Mac, perhaps this...

ITunes Music Store Access

Is anyone using ARD to push prefs to control access to ITMS?
Do you have any advice to share?
Thanks,
b.

Hi Dave,
Thanks again for the info. I just came to implement it.
I should have mentioned... I'm in a shared-desktop environment, using WorkGroup Manager to control access and settings.
On my admin machine I set and locked itms access. I added ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes and /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.secure to WGM.
This has pevented the users from accessing iTunes music store, but they can change the iTunes preferences to allow access. I guess it's because of the user ID in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.secure.
So, do you know how I can get the correct user value in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.secure for each user? is there an 'everybody' value I can use? And am I right to think I do need to push this file out with ARD, rather than adding it to WGM?
Many thanks,
b.

Cannot Connect to Music Store Unknown Error -3221

Please help me. I subscribed to ITunes specifically because I pre-ordered the Depeche Mode CD. And now that I am trying to download/upload(?) through the advanced / pre-orders I keep getting an error message stating "Cannot connect to music store. An unkown error occurred -3221. Make sure you rnetwork connection is active and try again."
I have been reading the fixes online and tried the overnight test. I tried adding the site to my pop-up blocker... NOW WHAT? I cannot access the music store at all (for the past 3 days that I have been trying). I pretty much just want a refund for my CD that I cannot download. BTW - in between my purchase and my attempts to access the music store I was forced to "upgrade to 6"... so is that where the problem lies? I also called the support phone number on the "contact us" link and no one on the telephone can help. I AM SO FRUSTRATED! Please make this better! I am on Windows XP.

hi Cheryl!
"Cannot connect to music store. An unkown error occurred -3221. Make sure you rnetwork connection is active and try again."
haven't seen that error code for a while. but we've got some documentation on it. have you seen this yet?

Cannot connect to Music Store

I know that several other users have posted that since the making the newest upgrade for iTunes, they cannot access the music store. But I haven't seen any posts with my exact issue. When I have tried to purchase a song, a pop-up box materializes that says "Accessing Music Store." After a short time, a message pops up to replace it that says "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. An unknown error occurred (-9808). Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
Now, I have tried all of the solutions I have seen on other postings, to no avail. We have McAfee Virus, but I'm unsure how to go about checking to see if that is my problem. I have disabled it several times, during iTunes re-installation and when trying to connect to the Music Store, but it doesn't help. I've checked the Windows Firewall, and iTunes is listed as one of my exceptions, so that shouldn't be the issue. As far as I know, we do not have Norton Anti-Virus (or at least I can't find it anywhere on this computer).
I am frustrated and at wit's end. I want to be able to download songs again!!! Can someone help?!
Thanks.

Doesn't anyone have any suggestions?! I've been checking this daily to see if someone could help me. This is very frustrating. I actually read another posting concerning the same problem that said the solution was just to use another computer that doesn't have McAfee Virus protection on it. Hello! That's not possible. This is my computer, and it worked before the update, and now it's not working. Using another computer is not a solution! HELP!!!!!!
