I can't connect to the itunes store and have some problems with other websites. Some websites load OK. I had the same problem on my iPad and changed the DNS, but don't want to do this on my iMac, anyway, surely I should have my router's DNS?

I can't connect to the iTunes store from my iMac and have problems loading a number of other websites, however some websites load perfectly well. I have had the iTunes store issue on my iPad and resolved it by changing the DNS but surely I should use the DNS for my router. I don't really want to change it for the iMac as I access secure sites with it to internet shop.
Any ideas, I was going to try loading Chrome but can't get it without going through the iTunes store. Anyway, that is treating the symprom not the cause.

Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

I applied and received an upgrade code to Redeem Mountain Lion for my new MBP.
I get this message when I try to Sign in to the App Store after entering the redemption content code, and also if I just try to "Sign In".   The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store.
I received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
I also tried to re-create this appleID...(it was one suggestion I saw for this issue) It doesn't let me since the ID already exists...

Correct.
It's clearly not a cookie issue..
As for cookies. Quit the App Store. Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder.
Type this exactly as you see it here:   ~/Library/Cookies
Click Go the move the   com.apple.appstore.plist   file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.

How to delete the loadings list in the itunes store (1000 tunes are downloading with no reason)

Hi
I switched from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5c and now the itunes store app wants to download 1000 tunes (I guess it cannot try more) and it blocks.
I don't know how to delete the list (not one by one of course .
If someone has any clue to help
Thanks

Hi Francis,
Check the BADI "TRIP_WEB_CHECK" method "USER_CHECK_GENERAL_DATA".
Here based on the schema you can modify the "estimated cost" field.
Hope it helps.

Change the iTunes store an app is associated with

I have two active iTunes store accounts in two countries because I have homes in both locations (U.S. and another country). These two accounts allow me to download content that is available only in one of those countries to my one iPhone. I know how to switch back and forth between the stores when it is time to update my collection of apps, but I have gotten to the point where I'm tired of the constant switching back and forth that I need to do -- literally every day -- to keep all my apps up to date.
For this reason, I would like to make it so that all apps that are available in the U.S. store are associated with my U.S. account and only those apps that are unique to the other country be associated with that country's store/my account with that country. The apps that are unique to the other country are a fraction of my app collection, so I would like only those apps to be associated with that country's account. Unfortunately, a lot of the apps that are available in both countries I downloaded from my other country store, therefore they are associated with that account/country despite being available in the U.S. as well. Even though I spend a lot of time in my U.S. account, I am constantly having to switch to update, say, Instagram, when I wish I could have done the update back in the U.S. account where Instagram is an available app.
In other words, how can I change the country store that an app is associated with? Do I have to delete and re-download them from the store I want them associated with?
The reason I ask, and the reason I find this so frustrating, is Apple knows when an app needs updating, regardless of the origin store. When my iPhone is logged into the U.S. account, I still get notified of the app update in the other country's store and I'm prompted to log in to that account. Why can't I just update it in my U.S. account, particularly since the app is available in the U.S.?
Thanks for the help.

Sorry, but what you ask is not possible. You cannot change the iTunes Store nor the iTunes Store account an app is assocated with. Why Apple has this setup for apps that are common to more than one country I can't say; it may be due to copyright and other legal issues that differ from country to country, or just that they haven't found it practical to set up different mechanisms for media - which must be handled separately for each country - and apps.
In any case, though, there's nothing you can do. You will have to update through each store separately, or re-acquire the apps in the account/country you wish to use most often.
Regards.

When does the iTunes store usually update its libraries with new content in the US, specifically TV shows?

Hello Apple community. I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me approximately when the iTunes Store usually updates its content. I have a couple TV shows I'm watching. I noticed that new episodes of The Amazing World of Gumball and The Looney Tunes Show tend to update with the newest episode the day after it airs. Gumball is usually updated on Tuesdays, sometimes every other Tuesday, but the new episode isn't available on the store yet. It's possible that a holiday threw the scheduled update times off. Still, I would like to know approximately when the iTunes Store updates. I like to plan things out so I know when to purchase gift cards. Thanks Apple community.

The facility to ping the Store, to draw attention to a change in your podcast, has been removed: the Store will check your feed and update - usually this takes 1-2 days. I was never convinced that pinging made any difference anyway.

I can't connect to my Itunes Store, Apple Store.

I couldn't download anything from AppStore. Than I upgraded my phone to 8.2. Didn't help. I loged out from my Apple Id and now I can't log in! "Cannot connect to ITunes Store". "Cannot Connect to App Store".
I'm very upset. Can anyone explane why? Please, help me to fix it.

Thank you so much. One author told me my problem is not connected to the general problem and this made me to torture my phone and ask 100 times asked question

I hate my new update. All pages are printed too small for my aging eyes! Yes I know how to do Command but don't want to do this every time. Also, more importantly, where is my Google search engine? And why no easy way to click back to previous page?

Okay, as soon as I sent this I figured out where Google search is!

The desktop, the mail, all webpages. I know there used to be a way to fix this in preferences but now cannot find it.
Also my home page will no longer open (BBC America).
I found the Safari Search option (should have been obvious!) But on other hand, do not understand why tool bar keeps disappearing - aah, just another of life's mysteries (until I figure it out!).

Unlimited Data Plan-Need to change my phone but don't want to lose!!

I am "grandfathered" into the unlimited data plan, we have four lines, I need to change my phone as my current one doesn't work. I tried switching to an old phone that I used 6 months ago with the unlimited data via online and it would not allow me to do so. How can I change to another phone without being told I have to buy a data plan? If we need to "buy a data plan" all 4 phones will be going else where....

Makes no difference about any tin foil hats, Verizon is using ANY MEANS to force unlimited data users off the unlimited and onto share or metered data. It is a fact. They tried twice with me and I pay full price for my devices.
1) Change your minutes, they want to take away your unlimited.
2) Buy a new device on subsidy, lose your unlimited data.
3) Buy a new device on the Edge program, lose unlimited data.
4) Swap a device on your account, they want to take unlimited away.
5) Add a prepay tablet to your account, they tell you that you lose Unlimited data.
However the instructions are you are prepaying for the tablet use so its billed to your credit or debit card yet not really part of your cell phone plan but they want you to lose unlimited.
In short if you go online or call on the phone or even chat, for any reason in some cases Verizon is removing your unlimited data. And you have to be careful since many here are stating the same as I listed.
They are a business, if they decided not to have unlimited data trust me it will be gone. So leave a little room in that tin foil so the broadcast will get through.
Just for a giggle, many many years ago I bought an unlimited Mobil Gasoline coffee cup. You paid for it once and each time you came to a Mobil station you get a free coffee. I still have the cups (they came in two sizes) yet just try and get that free coffee. The company dropped the promotion. And now you get arrested for theft.
Nothing lasts forever.
Good Luck

An app can't connect to my iTunes store on my phone anymore. How do I fix this?

After updating my I pad, I have problems with getting new apps. After filling in my Apple Id, I fill in my 3 secret questions. But than I get à Message that this session had to break of, without results.

Alter updating my IPad, I have problems getting new apps. After filling in my Apple Id, and answer my 3secret questions, I get THE answer that this session had to be ended without results.

Wow ! I got it running again ! :-)
I called support and got helped by a very friendly guy:
We tried serveral things, what worked for me was to reset my cookies:
- Close all apps by doubleclicking the "home" button - you see all running apps in the lower part of the screen. Then click an hold the first icon until it starts "shaking". Klick the small minus, proceed like that until the row is empty.
- Go in to the control center (don't know what it's called in english, in swedish it's "Inställningar")
- Klick the tab "Safari"
- Klick on Clear cookies and data ("rensa cookies och data")
- Close the control center and start App store
If you now try to download an app you still get the request for the three safety-questions, but when filling them in it works and you can proceed after that. The questions will not turn upp again afterwards...
Good Luck !
Other things we tried was:
- disconnecting the wifi and restarting it
- log out from app-store (in control center, tab "itunes and appstore")

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.

I can't connect to the itunes store and have some problems with other websites. Some websites load OK. I had the same problem on my iPad and changed the DNS, but don't want to do this on my iMac, anyway, surely I should have my router's DNS?
