"Could not complete the iTunes store request..."

I'm having the same TYPE of issues everyone else seems to be having, but with this message:
"Could not complete the iTunes store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later"
and it ONLY occurs at:
1) iTunes HOME page
2) Browsing Music Videos
all other iTunes pages work. What is going on? I thought Apple beat Microsoft when it came to usability, but this really stinks! I've run diagnostics and iTunes has NO problem seeing that I have a working internet connection!
Anyone else have this exact problem and have suggestions?

I am getting this excact same error message, except for me no page will load except for the Account Settings page. I've tried nearly everything short of reformatting, I have the latest version of iTunes, I used the Repair Disk Permissions tool, verified my KeyChain, checked my firewalls.
However, I have found a detour around this problem. If you use the Browse feature (the little eye icon next to the Eject botton) when the iTunes tab is open, you can find artists, however, the Popularity ratings don't seem to work

  • Unable to activate :: Could not complete the iTunes Store Request?

    Just got my iPhone and i can't activate it.
    The error in iTunes is "Could not complete the iTunes Store request. The store may be busy".
    It's been like this for an hour. Is the store down or are there firewall ports i need to open?
    edit: I was able to download the iPhone firmware upgrade, but still unable to activate.

    Figured it out. You have to turn off any Webservers on port 80 and restart iTunes. Then it will work.

    No matter what I do, turn the firewall off, allow cookies...
    Can anyone help?????????????? I've being trying for hours

    Are you using a USB hub? If so, try connecting directly to the USB port. This may help. Also, make sure you've got a USB 2.0 and not 1.1. If none of this helps, try reinstalling iTunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Could not complete the iTunes Store Request (for iTunes Plus)

    Since the announcement yesterday of the expanded iTunes plus library and the price reduction, I'm finding that if I click on iTunes Plus I always get the 'could not complete' message. Plus, many iTunes plus songs are still showing at 99p, only a few I've found are 79p.
    I'm really surprised nobody else has reported this - is it just me?

    No it's not just you, I haven't been able to access iTunes Plus either.
    I assumed they were busy upgrading that section of the store but it's taking its time and if that was the case then there ought to be a more informative error message.

  • (!) Could not complete the iTunes Store request. The story may be busy.

    on the opening page in iTunes for activating the iPhone, this is the error I get on pressing the first "Continue" button. I have verified I have an Internet connection and I can get on the iTunes music store. Is it Apple or me?

    Had the exact same problem. There is another button you can push besides continue, I believe it was info or something like that. That screen kept saying that my Activation Session had timed out. Apples solution said it was a Date/Time issue and time zone issue on my PC. Even though that information was correct in windows, I went in and changed the date/time and time zone to something completely wrong and saved it. Then went back in and changed it back to the correct information and saved it. then I launched Itunes and everything worked fine after that. Activated in like 2 minutes.

  • When I try to open genius I get the message"could not complete the itunes store request. The store may be busy."

    I've tried to open genius numerous times and I get the same error message. I llike to make playlists with songs from my library.What is the solution so I can use genius?

    This is what I did to resolve this problem. First, I uninstalled Firefox 4 & removed the Firefox folder left behind. I made sure to NOT select the option to delete personal information. Next, I backed up all of the important files on my computer. Next, I upgraded my Windows 7 to Service Pack 1, which was pending in my updates folder. Then, I went to Mozilla's website & downloaded Firefox 4 again, making sure to select only the Firefox browser and not Thunderbird too. http://www.mozilla.org/ When prompted to close any open programs, I closed Internet Explorer (which I had used to get to the Mozilla website) and I disabled my Norton anti-virus. I then completed the installation & it works just fine now. It loaded all of my personal data, such as bookmarks, it remembered my password, etc. It's fine for my needs, as I'm not a heavy user of special add-ons & plug-ins. Some of those may not work yet with the new version.

  • Could not complete the iTunes Store request. The store may be too busy.. What?

    having this problem when trying to authorise an newly downloaded app in iTunes

    Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
    Do not change your settings.

    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?
