Unable to connect to itunes store for last 4 days

My Itunes program has never given me any problems until Monday August 24th. I just bought an iphone and I wanted to get the newest update which is version 3. Itunes wouldnt let me update my iphone until I updated my itunes to version 8.2. Well it looked like all was going well as my phone was updated successfully to version 3 and it looked like my itunes was updated to 8.2.1.6 also. When I tried browsing the itunes store, I kept getting the error "Itunes could not connect to the itunes store". I am still getting this error. My computer has no problems getting to the internet so I know it is not my computer. I have looked at almost all relevant posts on here without success. I have uninstalled itunes and installed version 7 and that didnt work either.I would really appreciate any help anyone could give me.

Here is my diagnostic report:

  • Unable to Connect to iTunes Store for Apple TV Purchases

    For the past 2 days I have been unable to make purchases from the iTunes store with Apple TV. I get the message "Unable to connect to iTunes Store. Temporarily unavailable. Try again later."  Despite this message, I have a valid internet connection and I can still connect to the iTunes store to preview movies and TV shows content with my Apple TV. I just cannot make any purchases. My Apple TV software is currently up to date and I have valid credit in my iTunes account.
    Apple support have suggested that I contact their support community to see if anyone can help me resolve this problem.

    Also having issue, it is ridiculous. Kinda defeats the purpose of having TV if you can't stream any content from iTunes since the change to no hard drive. Come on Apple, I think your better than this.
    I have read on a couple forums that they suspect Family Share as the issue, does everyone have Family Share on? I for one do.

  • Receive the message "unable to connect to itunes store" when trying to install updates for my apps

    trying to install updates available for a number of app on my phon and keep getting the same message "unable to connect to itunes store"............

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • "Unable to connect to iTunes Store" 90% of the time

    I have a 3rd Gen iPad with wifi only that I bought about 40 days ago.   Initially I had no problem downloading and updating apps but in the past few weeks I get "unable to connect to iTunes Store" over 90% of the time.   I always verfity the Internet connection is good and I've tried on my home wifi, my cellphone's mobile hotspot, and several hotel wifi connections.     The other day I went into settings and noticed the Security code for my Credit Card was blank so I filled it in and clicked "done".  Unable to connect so I checked back and the code was still blank.   I deleted and redid my CC info and messed with some other settings and iTunes finally let me update some apps.   Now I'm back home and it's giving me the error message again.    I'm wondering if this is a known issue or if there's a fix for it.

    Usually it's because you are not connecting to the internet via wifi.

  • TS1368 unable to connect to itunes store to add match

    have updated software and unable to connect thru itunes store to add match etc....
    suggestions?

    Not sure what version of Norton you have but here is a link to the support site explaining how to properly configure your firewall settings for specific programs. This is for Norton 2007, they should have links to other versions as well.

  • 2 out of 5 user one PC unable to connect to itune store

    2 out of 5 user one PC unable to connect to itune store, using vista. I remove and reistall itunes, I am able to access the internet through browser, but not through itunes, firewall is turnoff. What else can I try?

    The "..at this time" message" sometimes appears when an atypical home folder (eg. one on a network share) isn't available for some reason. I don't use "Filevault", but that might qualify as atypical, since the home of a "Filevault" account actually resides on a disk image.
    Since you were able to attach and mount the ".sparseimage", it would appear that at least your ".sparseimage" is not corrupt, so the most dreaded reason for being unable to log in to a "filevault" account fortunately doesn't apply. Before attempting to troubleshoot this issue, just make sure that you are able to "mount" your backup copy to make sure it transferred successfully.
    I'm guessing but it could be that by attempting to change the account password using the disk, the repair tech created a situation where the "account password" does not match the ".sparseimage" password. The two must be in agreement for login to proceed smoothly, and this is why the "Accounts" pref pane will not let you change a "Filevault" account password unless you are actually logged in to that account. By using the disk, the tech bypassed this safeguard. The first thing to do would be to try to reset your "account password" - there are other ways to do this, one of which is to boot the computer from the installer disk to use the "Reset Password" function.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156
    Make sure to set it to exactly what it was before - ie. identical to the password that is known to have unlocked the ".sparseimage" file. Then reboot and see if you can log in with that password. If not, log in to any other account, open "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and post the output of this command, substituting the appropriate username:<pre>nicl . -read /users/username</pre>

  • HT1904 unable to connect to itunes store

    I have been unable to download apps on my IPad. It gives me an error UNABLE TO CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE. Is anyone else getting this error and if so how can I fix it????

    Been getting it off and on the last week or so on my iPhone. Right now, in fact. Usually I shut the app down, then re-start it and it works. Not this time though. Can't get it working no matter what.

  • TS1702 Why does my ipod say it's unable to connect to itunes store?

    My ipod keeps telling me it's unable to connect to itunes store, whenever I try to purchase from in-app game.

    If your iPad connects to other networks without problem you may have a problem with your router.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. When you have this problem go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    There may be a problem with the DHCP daemon in your router which prevented the timely return of an IP address. Turning WiFi off/on on your iPad gives it another chance which might succeed. Restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds might clear up this problem. However, it might be necessary to check for a firmware update for your router at the router manufacturer support web page.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.

  • I'm online but unable to connect to iTunes Store. What can I do?

    I've tried restarting and resetting my iPad but still am unable to download an app.   The message is "cannot connect to iTunes Store".  Can anyone help?

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

  • Can't connect to iTunes Store for in-app purchase from one apple ID to another?

    I downloaded an app on ID1. I tried to then sign out and sign in with a new ID2 to do an in-app purchase.  I got an error message saying that I couldn't connect to iTunes store. I read the message boards and found that you can't do this since the apps are linked to the apple ID that was logged in when you downloaded the app.  So I logged out of apple ID2 and logged back to the original ID1 to do the in-app purchase, but I still get the same error message saying that the purchase can't be completed and that it couldn't connect to the iTunes store.  Is there a fix to this???
