"Broken chain link" icon appears when trying iTunes store

It's really slow going trying to reach the store right now. When I do, I get all these broken chain link icons in place of pictures. Also, my podcasts are loading in a lightning-fast 45 minutes each. This is a fairly new developement, it's been about a week now. I can't find much helpful info around the forums so far. Anyone?

I have a few questions since most likely we will have to figure this out on our own. I have this problem occur a few times in a day however it is random.
My system:
Vista Ultimate 32bit
Antivirus: Kaspersky Internet Security 8.0
Web browswer: Exporer 8.0.6
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 9600GT
Ram: 4GB
Genius Settings: off
Itunes View: Cover Flow
Keyboard / Mouse: Logitech bluetooth MX5500
I have also experienced very sluggish performance with itunes store browsing/serach and have yet to figure that out. It started with Itunes 7
If we can find a common issue we may be able to figure this out as a group.

  • Small chain link icon on status bar

    I connected my ipod to my mac mini via bluetooth, and a small chain link icon appeared next to the word "ipod" on the status bar. Does any one know what this icon means?

    The icons are covered in the manual:

  • Broken link icons appearing instead of artwork in iTunes store

    Hi,
    For some odd reason, I see "broken link" icons, which look like a chain made up of three links, with the center link broken, instead of music album artwork in iTunes store.
    Initially I see the album artwork, but then they begin to get replaced by the odd looking "broken link" icons ! quite strange.... this began happening after I upgraded to OSX 10.5.6, but I am not sure this is the main reason I'm having this issue, I tested some macs at the Apple store, which were running 10.5.6. to access the iTunes store, and this problem did not appear, so it might be something else on my Mac Pro that is causing this odd behavior.
    Any other Mac users encountering the "broken link" icon when visiting the iTunes store ? Any clues ? or ways to solve this ? what could be causing this ? Any help/feedback would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The Cooks,
    Have you installed Quicktime 7.1.5 update?

    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.

  • I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • I changed my apple ID but the old ID keeps appearing when trying to log in

    I changed my apple id and password, but the old id keeps appearing when trying to log in

    Did you create a whole new Apple ID or change the email on the Apple ID you had previously? There is a BIG difference. Ocean20 explain quite clearly the problem you are likely having.
    Let me explain it this way. If Apps were money, it would be like opening a bank account (your Apple ID), putting a bunch of money (apps) in that account, then opening a new bank account (Apple ID) and wondering where all your money (apps) went.

  • Invisible windows appears when trying to open a new window. These windows are listed in the Window list, but I cannot switch to them or close them. This also occurs when I try to "View Source". This was not a problem prior to my 6.0 upgrade.

    I cannot open a new window for FireFox.
    Invisible windows appears when trying to open a new window. These windows are listed in the Window list on the menu, but I cannot switch to them or close them. This also occurs when I try to "View Source". This was not a problem prior to my 6.0 upgrade.
    The Downloads Window cannot be accessed either.
    This is very annoying. Is this a bug? Or is there a fix.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • My podcast no longer appears in the iTunes Store

    Hello, my name is Rafael and I have a podcast called "TouchCast.
    There I and a friend turned to deal with issues iPhones and iPods Touch.
    To begin the registration of our podcast and the registration problem has been tripled.
    Well published in three different blogs
    www.mundotouch.com.br
    www.itouchbr.com.br and
    www.touchcast.com.br
    In an attempt to block the mundotouch and itouchbr intentionally blocked the touchcast.
    To block used in all the RSS tag <itunes:block>yes</itunes:block> and all were removed from the iTunes Store only that we publish only the touchcast only that we are not able to get him re-appear in the iTunes Store .
    I have made several attempts, I put <itunes:block>No</itunes:block> I did ping the itunes resubmit your feed and when I try to access the http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=id
    He says that is not available to U.S. iTunes.

    Using the <itunes:block>No</itunes:block> tag is the correct thing to do: how long ago did you unblock it? - new episodes take 1-2 days to turn up so I would expect the same sort of delay before iTunes reacts to the unblocking.
    If it has been substantially longer I can only suggest contacting Support:

  • TS3297 when accessing, iTunes store, iTunes stops working?

    When accessing iTunes store, Itunes stops working.
    Problem  event name : APPCRASH
    Application name ; iTunes.exe
    Application version : 10.6.3.25
    Failed Module : atiumdag.dll

    Ever since I got a new laptop with Win8 (5 months ago) I have been unable to access the iTunes Store.  I've searched for answers and nothing has worked.  Gave up for several months since Apple told me I'd have to pay their support team to fix the issue.  Today I found this thread, applied the fix found by "DonInDassel" and so far I'm accessing the store with no issue.  I copied & pasted the file into the new location so it stayed in both locations, just in case.  iTunes store is still running after 30 minutes and I've been randomly clicking all over the place just to test it!!!!  Why can't Apple figure this stuff out?  LOL!  I hope y'all have the same success!
