After installing OS x lion, I can't access iTunes store

Help!!!
I just installed the OS XLion as that was the prerequisite for my using icloud.
I was excited about this as I wanted to store all my itunes purchases there as I was running out of space on my mac.
Unfortunately, I can't even access the itunes store anymore.
The message "we could not complete your itunes connection request. The connection was lost" always now pops up.
I have sourced various sites and followed the check lists to ensure all is working well but to no avail.
Please help.
What can I do?

If the hard drive doesn't appear on the desktop or finder sidebar, Open finder and go to Finder > Preferences > General tab > check show External disks on desktop. Do the same in the Sidebar tab.
Regards,
Captfred

This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Installed 10.1 and now can't access itunes store

Just installed 10.1 and now getting a message that "Itunes can not connect to the Itunes Store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again". I am connected to the internet. Made no changed to network settings. Reinstalled Itunes 10.1. No dice. No pop up blockers on. No software firewall. Next steps?

Interesting side note. I had posted to this forum earlier on the issue above - essentially a "me too, i'm also having problems with iTunes upgrade" - a post like many others I see in the forum. But I also copied in a letter I had sent to iTunes support when they failed to offer any solutions to my problem, and urged users to send something similar to iTunes if they were having problems as well - essentially to get Apple to own up and take responsibility. All I want is Apple to say, yes we recognize there is a problem and we're working to fix it.
iTunes support told me they were not aware of any problems with 7.6. As I read through the 100's of other posts on this site about problems I saw many people who got a similar message from Apple.
Apple promptly deleted my earlier post, and sent me an email saying that I was discussing Apple Policy, and that's not allowed apparently.
I'm wondering then - is it Apple Policy to deny technical problems that are obviously impacting many users? And when that's highlighted there response is to censor them?
I wonder if this post will get censored. I'm probably on their watch list.
Appreciate anyone helping with my problem, or echoing if you've had the same.

After upgrading to 11.0.5.5 can't access iTunes store. Temprorarily unavailable all the time.

After upgrading to 11.0.5.5 can't access iTunes store. Temprorarily unavailable all the time. Nothing helps, tried to flash the DNS. Nothing.....

Same issue. I emailed apple and they had me call apple. Not really any help. Did all the troubleshooting listed and to have further help diagnosing problems it isn't free. I explained to the rep that I have seen others having same issues - he didn't know anything about. This is first time I have had problems. I can't even purchase song on my PC but can on my iphone. I just would like to be able to access my account. Afraid to sign out of itunes in case I can't even get to my library etc.

I've tried everything but can't access iTunes store from my ipad. Apple ID is fine and logged in to iTunes on pc. Still no luck. Anyone any other alternatives? Thx.

You may think you are connected to the internet, but maybe not. Click on Safari and see if it connects.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I can't access itunes store on my pc

Since downloading itunes 10.5 update I can not access itunes store on my pc and could before. The status bar stalls halfway. I uninstalled itunes and re-installed it and that didn't help. I use Google Chrome as mysearch engine instead of IE. I even tried avarything using IE and get same results. I even tried the trick of adding to the end of the link for the proxy settings and this didn't work. out of ideas......HELP!

This is what iTunesStoreSupport wrote:
the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections, which indicates that the issue is related to your internet connection, local network, or your local computer itself. This article outlines some of the likely culprits:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Meanwhile, certain types of software can affect the way a computer sends and receives information from the Internet. Here are a few examples of these types of software:
- Firewalls
- Web accelerators
- Ad filters
- Virus protection software
If you have any of this kind of software installed on your computer, Franka, you will need to configure each of the applications to allow your internet connection to access iTunes freely. For instructions, please refer to the documentation that came with that software, or contact the software's manufacturer. You'll need to configure the software to allow these domains to send and receive data from the Internet freely:
itunes.apple.com
ax.itunes.apple.com
Moving on, for assistance in configuring your firewall or accelerator software, you may need to contact the manufacturer or your Internet service provider (ISP). When contacting their support representatives, it may be useful to have the following information:
"Well Known" TCP and UDP Ports Used By Apple Software Products
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
The following article helps Windows users pinpoint software conflicts that could cause the error:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1275
Nonetheless, please note that the iTunes Store cannot investigate every user's connection issue. Apple Support Communities are another source of information about iTunes, where everyone from new users to professionals can interact and share their knowledge and experiences. You may find another user with the same operating system or ISP that may be able to help resolve this issue. You can find the iTunes discussions group at:

If you are using a dial-up connection, you might consider downloading your purchases over a broadband connection, if you have access to one.

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!

Troubleshoot issues on a Mac
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store, a software conflict or your Internet service provider (ISP) may be blocking your access.
- Update iTunes and Safari to the latest version.
- If you have a firewall, your settings may be preventing you from connecting to the iTunes Store. Follow these steps to configure your firewall.
- You may need to reset your keychain. Connection issues are occasionally caused by keychain issues. Learn how to use Keychain First Aid to resolve any issues with your keychain.
- If you're receiving a specific error message, follow these steps.
- If the issue still persists, contact your Internet service provider and confirm that these ports and servers are enabled over your network.

If you look at the feed, and look at the entry 'The end to an exciting field season in Aulavik National Park' you will see the line:
<pubDateFri, 29 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
You have not closed the 'pubdate' tag - there should be a '>' as the 9th character. Because the tag has been left open, it invalidates everything which follows it, and thus the entire feed. iTunes therefore cannot read it, which is why the Store has not updated. Add the '>' and republish, and all should be well.
It's always worth checking your feed by subscribing manually, from the 'Advanced' menu, or by clicking the 'subscribe free' button on the Store page (both do the same thing) - if you can subscribe to the feed it should be OK.

I can't access Itunes Store from my computer (windows 7) - Itunes 11.1

I always get the same error message: Itunes Store is temporally unavailable. Try again later.
I've tried ALL "troubleshoot issues in Windows" from apple support, but I still can't access Itunes Store on Itunes 11.1.

Vague.
What have you tried?
What happens?

Any info?

Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?
