8.2 hangs every time I do a search in the iTunes store

iTunes 8.2 seems to be working OK for the most part, except one big thing. EVERY time I do a search within the Store, when it brings up my results page, after 1-2 seconds I get the spinning beachball of application death and the app just hangs. Have to force quit. Other than that, no problem.
Anyone else seeing this, and any idea how I can resolve it? Have upgraded to 10.5.7, have no further software updates to apply, repaired permissions, all that stuff.
I can go to the Store and select a specific item and that seems OK, it’s just the search results.
Weird, and frustrating.

Hi,
Do you see the same issue when logged into another user account on the Mac?
Try removing any 3rd-party iTunes add-ons or plug-ins as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22611
If the issue persists in multiple user accounts after removing the 3rd-party add-ons, try reinstalling iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224

Anyone know how to fix this? Every reference I have found is old, nothing recent like Lion or newest ver of iTunes.
Help Please!

Hey thatssoivi,
If you are having an issue with being unable to connect to the iTunes store, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

I upgraded to ios 6 and every time i try to search apps the app store crashes

Download them again in the App Store purchased tab. As long as you use the same ID that you bought the apps with, you do not have to pay for them again.
This will recover your apps, but all of your data will be gone.

Every time I try to go to the iTunes store from my iPod, it says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". How do I get it to connect and log in to my iTunes account??

Do other apps connect to the internet on the iPod e.g. Safari ? If they do then try logging out of your account on the iPod by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

Every time I click on music in the iTunes store, iTunes closes

I open iTunes and when I click on music, iTunes closes, every time. Movies and everything else seems to be o.k. but as soon as I click music - iTunes closes?

Hi Iamleggs,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If iTunes quits unexpectedly, first try restarting and resetting your iPhone:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If you are still experiencing the same issue, I recommend resetting all settings next:
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose Reset All Settings: All your preferences and settings are reset.
Reset iPhone settings
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7a2a9399b
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

ITunes crashes every time I try to connect to the iTunes Store

I have iTunes 11. I already restarted my computer and that didn't work. Any suggestions other than the very tedious uninstall and reinstall the whole thing? I tried running the installer for iTunes and selected "Repair" but that didn't work either.

Try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:
Re: iTunes 11 crashes when opening the store - no error message

Why do i get a run time error box pop up and then close itunes when I search in the iTunes store?

Wnen i search in the itunes store, a ren time error pops up and then closes my itunes. why is it doing this? I have to go thru power search to get around the problem and is not as convenient. thanks, Jamboy72

This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove the file(s) that cause the problem.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Try This...

Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

Hello there, deelish.
A great Knowledge Base article that has some valid information is:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
The pertinent section for you would be:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities!

Every time I try to connect to the App Store on my iMac, my modem crashes. My internet works otherwise okay.

I'm currently running a virus scan to eliminate foul play.
I am also now getting some unsolicited web-pages opening in Safari which is concerning.
Any suggestions please?

Hi, this has worked for a few...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.7…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
See if you might have this malware redirecting DNS queries...

Every time I try to download from the apple store, I am told to verify my apple ID. I keep changing my password and still cannot get my download

How do I verify my apple ID so that I can download from the store.

You keep changing your Password? Have you done this from Settings > Store, tap your Apple ID, then sign out and sing in using the right ID and Password.

Further to: Every time I try to connect to the App Store on my iMac, my modem crashes. My internet works otherwise okay.

My virus scan turned up nothing.
I have confirmed the modem crash only occurs when I try to access the App Store via my iMac.
Also, a Macbook Air also on the same WiFi system does exactly the same thing.
The Internet runs perfectly otherwise, except when trying to access the App Store.
The Modem is a Siemens SpeedStream 4200-Series, operating in Bridge mode.
The WiFi is an Apple Airport Extreme.
FRUSTRATING !!!
(Couldn't figure out how to add this new information to my previous post)

Disable your anti virus software then try the App Store.
