2 users 1 computer one can connect to Store and Acct. the other can't

usin windows XP Service Pak2, not using windows firewall. Using Norton 360. We have downloaded and installed iTunes 9.1 we each have separate computer user profiles, separate iTunes libraries and separate itunes/Apple ID's and accounts
suggestions from Apple included checking for dowloads and entering Apple ID and Password and or doing MISCONFIG and checking configuration to allow iTunes/Apple through Firewall or other software. This isn't relevant to the situation. Please see my reply to Sandra at Apple Support. And I greatly appreciate any feedback or guidance:
This has nothing to do with downloading. from my son's computer user profile (windows XP, Norton 360) when he tries to log into the store he gets a connection error, when he clicks on store and enters his apple ID and password he gets a connection error. when he enters his apple ID and click forgot password he gets a connection error. I understand about firewalls but my question is we share the same computer and everything works fine for me. it is one computer, with one firewall (Norton 360) why does iTunes work fine for me on my computer user profile but not for my son on the same computer?
How could the firewall be an issue for one user but not another on the same computer? Since I can access iTunes store and my Apple account from the same computer stands to reason it is not a firewall/software problem. My account is on the same computer (but under my own profile) as my son's. everything works fine for me--- nothing on your server or attempting to connect to your server works for him. the fact that I can get to the Store, and to my apple account, and I can buy and download from my user profile on the same computer tells me it is not a firewall or other software issue
do you have any other thoughts?
thanks. R See my original support request below:Web Order # :
Support Subject : Connecting to iTunes Store
Sub Issue : Connecting with a computer
See additional info below
OS version: Windows XPSP2+
Country: US
iTunes version: iTunes 9.1
iTunes account name:
Specific request: I receive an error message when I try to connect to the iTunes Store
Error message user experienced: Cannot connect to iTunes Store
Details:
I have checked my cables and connections, I have surfed to other site and Internet is working. I have 3 users with individual desktops and profiles. I am administrator. my son on his profile can access his library but cannot get to iTunes store to shop. we have shopped from this compter before.
He gets an error saying cannot connect to store, connection timed out check your connection. so I downloaded and installed iTunes 9.1. On my profile I can access Internet, iTunes and itunes store. I ran iTunes diagnostic on my profile and though I am in the iTunes store and can shop on my profile the diagnostic on my profile indicates:
Firewall Information
Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
Connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
Secure connection attempt to iTunes Store was unsuccessful.
The network connection timed out.
Secure connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
Last successful store access was 2010-05-30 01:13:37.
and
** External Plug-ins Information **
No external plug-ins installed.
iPodService 9.1.1.12 is currently running.
iTunesHelper is currently not running.
Apple Mobile Device service 3.0.1.0 is currently running.
My son clicks the store on his profile and the store never opens he just gets the error indicated above.
We do not use Windows Firewall. We use Norton 360

A user account specific issue like this has me wondering if there's an issue with the iTunes preference files in your son's Windows user account, renee. (There's a different set of those in each different account. So a preference file issue can cause trouble in one user account but not another.)
Even if you're not getting a -50, perhaps try the following document:
[iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3288]
(Adjusting the Parental control preferences should be done inside your son's Windows user account. The command line technique can be done from within either account.)

  • If I bought my iPhone in America from an Apple Store and have the receipt can I return it to a Japanese Apple store?

    If I bought my iPhone in America from an Apple Store and have the receipt can I return it to a Japanese Apple store? Yes it is within 30 days, I bought it July 21st, meaning it is within 15 days, as well.

    I would doubt it, but there's nobody here who can speak on behalf of Apple.  Phone the Japanese store: they will know far better than us fellow users.

  • When importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed.

    when importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed. need to figure out why it randomly imports differently, or how to add different file tyoes to multi cam.

    here is one that is imported and stays .mp4. the specs are same as original file before import.
    here is one that has changed somehow during import. specs on original file are same as above, but once it is imported it changes to this in event folder, and others randomly keep the above specs.

  • On 1 pc that is partitioned, both identities are using FireFox as their browser, but one identity can see all images on webpages the other can't - how do I fix

    On a pc that is partitioned, both identities are using FireFox as browser. On one ID they can see all images on a website, such as CNN or NYT.com but on the other most of the images (within the story content and advertising images on borders of webpages) are missing. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I need help to fix it.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    *Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
    *Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.image pref should be 1.
    If background images are missing then make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows Accessibility settings and that you allow pages to choose their colors in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    There are also extensions like Adblock Plus (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

  • Can I stop one timeline in a scene and loop the others?

    Maybe an idiotic question but I'm trying to hack my way through Flash and teach myself how to use it.  I have 2 animated objects in a scene on separate timelines.  I want one of them to loop continuously and the othe to play only once, is this possible?
    many thanks!

    I have this video file I created in Photoshop with the steam wafting
    from the coffee mug that I want to continuously loop, it works
    perfectly.  I added some text that flys in from the top but I can't get
    it to play just once, which is what I want.  Can I do this in the same
    scene?  The file has only 3 layers right now, the two animated objects
    are on their own layers and a background.
    Many thanks!

    As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
    I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
    I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

    Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID?   (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on two computers. One computer allows me to drag and drop. The other does not.The one that allows it has problems. Any idea as to why I can drag and drop on one and not the other. Both are authorized.

    I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on my two computers. I first connected the Touch to my desktop and it allows me to drag and drop mp3 files from my old Classic, which is backed up to a directory. Unfortunately, that computer has gone down before I got a chance to fill the Touch. I have the files on another computer but when I connect the Touch to it, it doesn't allow me to drag and drop the files. I have iCloud set on both systems and I have manual management check marked. I'm not understanding why it allows drag and drop on one PC and not the other when they are both set the same way. My question? What do I need to do to be able to drag and drop in iTunes 12? I didn't do anything special on the computer that allows it so I am at a loss.
    Thank you!

    Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:

    Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

  • It appears since my Windows PC McAfee AV subscription expired my PC's iTunes doesn't see my two Apple TV2's.  My computer has internet connection thru router and my ATV has internet connection thru same router.  My iPad can see the ATV but it can't see iT

    My Windows PC iTunes doesn't see my two Apple TV2's (in the speaker button in lower right of iTunes), I believe this problem began when my PC's McAfee AV subscription expired.  My computer has internet connection thru router and my ATVs have internet connection thru same router so it's not a networking issue.  My iPad can see the ATVs but it can't see iTunes so the problem appears to be PC/iTunes related.  I turned the PC's firewall off but no joy.  I uninstalled the expired McAfee and still no joy.  Reboot = no joy.  Glass of scotch = no joy.  Need help!!

    Wanted to add that I turned on Home Sharing w/the same account in iTunes and ATVs.  And I've successfully streamed music/photos to my ATVs for over a year.

    Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
    Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
    Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
    As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
    1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
    A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
    B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
    C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent  iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
    2.  Connect your iPad to your computer -
    A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
    B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
    C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
    D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
    E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
    F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
    NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.
