Accessing iTunes Store - Pop up window

Does anyone know how to fix this annoying pop up window ''Accessing iTunes Store'' that appears every time I open iTunes or access the iTunes Store? Or anyone out there with same problem?
Every time I type a letter in the iTunes store search box, the progress bar appears! Grrr
The Cinematic Orchestra is off the cards at the moment - Maybe some U2 instead.
The problem first began when I installed iTunes 10.2. All previous versions where fine - no problems. I thought this most recent 10.2.1 update was issued to maybe fix this frustrating glitch. No such luck.
I have tried reinstalling, clearing my caches and making sure the Safari 'Block Pop Up Windows' option is activated.
Many Thanks

I've fixed mine! From a little help from an apple adviser.
You might want to clear your caches before doing this - under iTunes preferences.
Open iTunes - go to the top bar, click the 'Store' drop down menu >
Then click 'De-authorise this Computer' >
Enter your password etc >
Then click 'Store' again then click 'Re-authorise this Computer'>
Enter password etc>
Restart the Mac>
Open up iTunes should be fine - worked for me anyway
Good Luck

"Accessing iTunes store" pop up

When I try to type anything into the search bar for artists or songs the "accessing iTunes store" pop up continually opens. It opens after typing each letter and will not allow another letter entry untill the window closes. Just started happening.

I'm sorry but I don't understand how this works.
I use iTunes Store very rarely, just for checking some new release or maybe some podcast.
I never authorized this mac, and I don't want to enter my credit card number if I don't want to buy music from there. I just want to be able to browse it, with no commitment, as I've always done.
The annoying window "accessing iTunes store..." keeps popping up at every launch.
I disabled iTunes Store from preferences, and it keeps coming. I tried the deauthorize-authorize trick, but the Store says I've never been registered, and session times out. I also disabled ping and podcasts... no way.
In one word, I'm stuck. What am I supposed to do to be able to use iTunes as I've been done for 10 years?
Thanks

I can't access iTunes store on my Windows desktop since yesterday.

I got a new Windows 7 allienware desktop this week, and I installed iTunes at the first time. I can access iTunes store via the software at the first day I installed, but I can't access iTunes store on my Windows desktop since yesterday. It always says there is a problem and I need to close iTunes when I try to access iTunes store. I tried to uninst all the related files of iTunes and reinstalled, but it still donesn't work. Now I can't download anything via my new desktop. What should I do to fix it?

Looks like we are not alone...... Must be some problem with the software! Hope it can be solved soon!

Trying to access itunes store pop up is continually on screen

Since the upgrade to 10.2 this morning I cannot seem to get rid of the pop up "trying to access itunes store." I click cancel, it goes away for about 5 seconds and comes right back. I was able to purchase and download a song however the pop up appeared multiple times throughout the process. It's to the point where the itunes store is nearly unusable.
I tried a reinstall of 10.2 to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Took the same route as ricin beans,
Complete reinstall, as painful as it was... at least it all works now.
Luckily I've only had my MBP a week and hadn't had anything on it other than music to export/import, no doubt others aren't so lucky and still waiting for Apple's cure, if they ever provide one.

How do I access iTunes store from Windows XP computer?

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

TS1702 How to get rid of "Cannot connect to iTunes store" pop-up window

My iPad is showing a pop-up window that says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". I cannot restart my iPad because I can't get the pop-up to disappear... and I cannot slide the power off option because it's blocked by the "Cannot Connect" popup.
When I press the OK button in the pop-up window, it flickers, but does not accept the command.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Problems accessing iTunes Store on a Windows Vista PC

I'm connected to the internet on my PC and I can get to any website I want to. I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes through Firefox. But every time I try to connect to the iTunes Store within the application I continue to get a message iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The netwokr connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again. I do not have the Windows Firewall turned on and I'm using Webroot for virus protection and I have turned off it's firewall but it as not changed anything for me.

Accessing Itunes store freezes computer - Windows 8.1

My computer seems to work perfectly in every other scenario, is completely virus free (according to malware bytes) and Itunes is fully updated however as soon as I try to access the Itunes store (tried it on 4 separate occasions) the entire computer freezes and I have to restart. Any solutions or should I just re-install?
Thanks for all the help in advance

I'm trying to access the iTunes store through a restricted network at uni, thus I'am unable to launch many applications which require network connectivity, would the iTunes store come under this and if so is that the reason it freezes my computer? As I thought that perhaps iTunes is unable to connect fully due to the network restrictions (partial display) therefore gets stuck in a loop without any exit strategy (reason for no error message) and thus crashes.

Reocurring pop up message 'Accessing iTunes Store'

Sorry if this question has already been asked on the forums but i was unable to find it!
I have recently downloaded the newest updates (10.2.1) for my MacBook pro. After the download i reopened iTunes and the message 'Accessing iTunes Store' popped up. I therefore let it load and tried to carry on with my general song browsing and name editing etc, but unfortunately was unable to do so as this message kept popping up! It is very frustrating as it means i can not use my iTunes at all as i don't get a chance to do anything before the message pops up again!
I have read this problem in forums via google but no one seems to have a solution, so i am guessing it is a problem with the latest software. Please if there is anything you can do to help me, answer my query! It's driving me MAD!
Thanks!
FR

Managed to fix the problem! For all who need help with this similar problem, reopen iTunes, click on 'store' and then on 'authorise computer' and the problem fixes itself!
Hope this helps everyone!

"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.

I cannot access iTunes store from my laptop. I could for years but suddenly - no.
Have removed all recently installed software. Have uninstalled and re-installed both my anti-virus software and iTunes.
Have allowed pop-ups.
Have flushed the DNS. Nothing.
Still can't access the store. Please help!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
