Blocked my computers connection with itunes/apple...?

This has given me a headache and a half. Techies, please take the time to read through this. I know its complicated...
So, my old ipod was jailbroken. It stopped working so i was determined to unjailbreak it so my warranty would not be voided. I followed this guide to restore it.
http://hackstor.blogspot.com/2010/03/restore-with-saurik-method.html
I have windows, and this guide told me to select start, and then run, and type this in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
The guide told me to open the file up through notepad and add this to the bottom of it 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
I did this.. and it then told me to open up run again (terminal for mac users) and type in cmd.exe and the following commands:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
I did this and succesfully restored my ipod touch. I then got a new ipod touch but when i tried to sync it with my computer it wouldnt work. i decided that its because i forced my computer to recognize the jailbroken software, and not apples software. I tried to reinstall itunes. Itunes was reinstalling and the status bar was filled up all the way, as if it was done installing.. but it stayed like this. I decided that its because my computer was still trying to recognize the jailbroken software. I took the line "74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com" out of my hosts file and went back to cmd.exe and typed in ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns thinking that it would solve my problem, but now when i go to apple.com and click on download itunes, the link that normally says "DOWNLOAD NOW" is not even there.
Here is a screenshot of my problem
I have somehow completely blocked my computers connection with itunes or apple. I have a new ipod waiting to be synced but i cant even download itunes.. and if i do itunes might not even properly connect with apple. Yes, i made sure my warranty was not voided by restoring my ipod.. but it doesnt help if i cant even use it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please read the guide i used to restore my jailbroken ipod so you can understand what i did. I am running windows xp.
Thank you.

Find a friend with a Mac and simply restore it. No need to modify host file. Do a manual install, as outlined in link below.

Hello Gamerpapanatas,
Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your iPad mini is not connecting to iTunes. The following article may help to resolve your issue:

Why when I try to login the Itunes Connect with my Apple ID it always says: "Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect."?

Look on one of your bank statements and be sure to enter the billing address exactly as it shows on the statement. Some folks forget where they actually get the statement. They put their home address in iTunes/Mac App Store and they actually get the statement at their place of employment or vice versa.

No it doesn't. Sometimes it make a sound that it should when connecting but that is it. Never actually charges or syncs. And it is a brand new cord.

How can I get a credit card re-instated with ITunes/Apple Store? It was blocked due to an ITunes billing error. Called customer (lacking in) service, but they were no help!

Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

Dear Brian:
Create a Play List in iTunes.
Control-Click and open "Export" in the highlighted Playlist in iTunes.
With "Export" opened:
1. Click on "Format" and choose "M3U";
2. In "Save As" name your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; and
3. In "Where" tell the program where to send your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u".
You are done creating the Playlist.m3u in iTunes.
Open "Subsonic Web Page".
Left hand column open "Import playlist".
In "Import playlist" click "Choose File" and open the "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; you created in iTunes.
The "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u" should now occupy the space between "Choose File" and "OK".
Click "OK".
The file should now be in the "Playlist" on the left.

Apple TV keeps saying it can't connect with itunes store. Help?

Been trying to pull up purchased season of Breaking Bad. Got thru some episodes but now it's saying it can't connect with itunes store. Everything's updated and all other features of ATV work fine.

I've had apple tv since August and seem to have had to do a restore every 2 weeks or so, lost connectivity, can't connect to itunes or other errors. the restore takes a good 20 minutes even on wide band internet. it works for a few days then seems to go bad. read something online tonight about just restarting apple tv, presumably by powering down from the socket and rebooting. good luck.

Which "Hands Off"- rules prevent iTunes and iMessage to connect with my apple ID data?

I think I've got a problem with my "Hands Off!" rules on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks 10.9.3.
I can't connect with my Apple IDs in the programms iMessage and iTunes Store. I just had a similar problem with my App Store: there where rules responsible for the problem, which names weren't apparently related to "App Store".
Do you know which "Hands Off!" rules have to be switched off/turned on?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
If you have a utility called Hands Off then I would use their web site.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Hello FoxyNix
Check out the steps below to troubleshoot you issue with connecting to the iTunes Store on your iPhone
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.  Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular. Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

How do I deauthorize all computers associated with my Apple ID?

Hi all,
First post on Apple Support Communities :-)
When I bought my first Apple product (iPad 2) a few months ago, I didn't know anything about Apple IDs, iTunes Store, Home Sharing and Computer authorizations. I experimented a little with iTunes and home sharing in VMware virtual machines (Windows 7) on my computer (Ubuntu). I quickly used up the 5 authorized computers, so I used the "Deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID" feature in iTunes and kept on experimenting (since I couldn't get things to work properly in my virtual environment).
Now I have an iPhone 4S and my daughter has an iPod Touch 4G, and I'm planning on buying the new Apple TV. But I'm not going to because I can't have Home Sharing. I can't "clean" the authorized computers because I did it a few months ago and it is only permitted once a year.
It is possible to request an exception (and how?) and have the authorized computers cleaned up?
Thanks a lot
Sebastien

If you can't deauthorize systems just by the "deauthorize" command under the Store menu in iTunes, then go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the problem to the iTunes Store. They may be willing to clear your authorizations for you.
Regards.

My iphone fell and now shows USB on screen saying to connect with itunes but when connected i get the message from itunes tha its damaged..please help me somebody

my iphone 4s fell and display went blank,and when i restarted it shows a USB on display asking to connect with itunes,instead i went to a phone repair shop where they service iphones too.First they said that they have to install the IOS4 again in it but they could not do so due to an error so later they asked me whether they should install IOS5 i agreed but it only happened after a long struggle yet the phone remains in the same state with the display showing USB asking to connect with itunes..they could not fix it..please help me..:(

What's there to help? You dropped your phone and now it's broken. You'll have to bring your phone into Apple for an out of warranty exchange. If you purchased Apple Care+ is will cost $49.00, if not, it will be $199.00

Try rebooting the iPad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen,then let go.
