"Accessing iTunes Store" bar keeps appearing
For the past two days whenever I try to do anything in the iTunes store I keep getting a "Accessing iTunes Store" progress bar, when I'm searching I can only enter 1 letter at a time before it pops back up. Is there something in the settings that I can change to fix this?

This is really frustrating and looking at the date of the initial post, nobody has replied for a solution yet. What is Apple doing about it? WHERE IS APPLE'S TECH SUPPORT??????

Apple tv not accessing itunes store
Have done an upgrdae on Apple TV firmware and now unable to access iTunes store..keeps sy try again later? any solutions here as I have had this for a couple of days
Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided. This does not give any one much to go on. Is ATV able to connect to Netflix, HomeSharing, AirPlay, etc? Any of the other services working? Are you using WiFi? Is so have you tried it using a wired connection? What does the network test tool under settings show?

I own a Windows 7 computer. I can get into itunes okay, and I can get into the itunes store okay. After I am in the store, a box keeps appearing that says "Accessing itunes store". It goes on and off. I am able to navigate when the box is not showing. If I try to download music, I get to the point where I need to agree to the agreement contract, then says "Session Timed Out." I have the latest versions of itunes and all my Windows Updates. What can I do about this?
I was struggling with this since my latest Itunes update. Fiirst it would not recognize my IPad as a device, after correcting that, it would list the Ipad in my device but my Sync had no options (summry, info, etc). and it kept saying it was "Accessing Itunes store". reading your question I suddently tried deleting the itunes task (alt-ctrl, delete, processes) and delete Itunes. (By the way, I had rebooted my computer several times over the last few days). I opened up Itunes, and voila. Device is there. No "accessing windows" and my sync has the normal options.
****..feels good to actually write an answer rather than writing a questions.

Itunes keeps accessing Itunes Store
Basically, every time i go on itunes, my song or the store, i get this window popping up and telling me: Accessing Itunes Store. Sometimes it pops-up every time i click in or on the window, sometimes it's every time y try to type more than one character in the search bar and sometimes it just appears ones or twice in the beginning and then comes up every 2 or 3 minutes. Anyway, it's annoying and it doesn't disappear even if I let it load. Other than that Itunes seems to be working well and the application store runs fine too.
I tried Sandaddict26's ingenious solution and I was able to successfully get one Itunes free song. Then I was right back to where I started: blank screen after a few seconds.
Apple probably won't give a response about this issue. I'm surprised that nobody else has uncovered this other issue: computer sometimes being flooded with connections from mzstatic.com. When I first started having this trouble with Itunes store screens going blank, I noticed strange new connections in addition to the ones from itunes, apple, and phobos. Mzstatic sometimes floods my computer with literally dozens of connections--the most simultaneous connections I've counted is 37!
The IP address range for mzstatic is 209.18.32.0 to 209.18.47.255 and this domain is registered to Apple. The company behind these new connections is, I think, MarkMonitor {www.markmonitor.com), a company involved with computer security and data protection. It's possible that Apple has enlisted Markmonitor to help protect against theft of iTunes products but could these extra connections be disrupting our iTunes store connections?
Hopefully more computer-savvy people will investigate these somewhat suspicious looking new internet connections through Itunes.
Guess I'll try the computer reauthorization approach next.... -

When I am on iTunes, a bar that says "Accessing iTunes Store" comes up every few seconds. To continue shopping or play my music I have to wait for it to load to disappear, and it comes back immediately. It comes up whenever I click something. How can I get rid of this so I can continue shopping and playing music?
if you want to add songs they must be checked, put them in asong list as it makes them easier to manage

Hi,
I have recently installed iTunes latest version (10.5.1.42) on Win XP SP3.
The problem is, when accessing iTunes, It connects to the internet, I can sign in (It shows my username in sign in bar), But nothing is shown in the iTunes store window in iTunes. It shows "accessing iTunes store..." for few seconds and after that its blank with an apple logo inside the status bar.
ANU SUGGESSION???Sorry, no. The screen image you see is specifically saying you need to connect it to a computer. You could take it to an Apple retailer for help.

"Accessing iTunes Store" box pops up every time I click on something new on itunes
When I open itunes it automatically tries to connect to the itunes store but the "connecting to itunes store" status bar keeps popping up even after it has connected. I'm unable to navigate the itunes store without this status bar popping up. I've updated to the latest version of itunes (currently version 10.3.1 for mac) and the same problem occurs.
I haven't had any luck with the itunes store after uninstalling and reinstalling the software. I've also tried to "deauthorize this computer" and then "authorize this computer" to try and fix the glitch- but everytime I try and sign into my account I get this message: "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store". It then takes me to another screen to review my account. But when I'm brought to the new screen my session times out and I can't review anything.
I'm going around and around in circles and it's becoming very frustrating. Does anyone have any other possible solutions???
I'll give a step by step breakdown of what's happening..
I open the itunes store.
Accessing itunes progress bar at the top of the window loads the itunes
store and after it loads there is still a top window that says
'accesing itunes store' with a 'stop' button option which stays open
for aprox. 1 minute after page is loaded.
I sign in with my account and password.
A dialouge box appears that says, "This Apple ID has not yet been used
with the itunes store. Please review your account information.
cancel or review option boxes.
I click review.
Accessing itunes store progress bar appears in the upper part of the
window as well as in a seperate window box like before and this box
stays open after page has loaded like before.
The window box goes away and the window says, "Welcome to the itunes
store; To begin creating your apple id click continue".
I click continue.
A new window appears and says, "your session has timed out. Try
again". option to click a box marked 'done'.
...And this takes me back to square one.Did you ever resolve the question?
I have exactly the same complaint and your question has 338 views - which leads me to believe our question is not unique.
