Can't access DotMac email or iTunes Store account

Hi Folks,
I have just bought a MacBook and migrated everything from my old 17" iMac (USB modem). I have bought a Belkin wireless router for the new laptop and can access internet no problem. In fact, the wireless connection is faster than my old wired iMac.
The problem is two-fold.
1) I cannot download my email from the DotMac server. I can send mail no problem, even receive it on my other Virgin email account, but not DotMac. Entourage knows the mail is there (it tells me how many messages are waiting), but it freezes and eventually times out.
2) I cannot access my iTunes Store account. I need to authorize this laptop to play my music but anytime i need to access the account, the "Accessing iTunes Store..." message appears and stays forever.
I am thinking that there is a problem with my dotmac account as both these problems use the same details, but perhaps it is the wireless connection blocking it?
Any tips gratefully received.
Thanks
Jamie

There are several ways, but some of them depend on whether you use airport a lot, and whether you loose your settings when it sleeps and wakes.
What I've been playing around with, and what would probably work best for you in the near term:
System Preferences -> Network
Then select the Ethernet interface you want to set this on.
Click the Advanced button in the lower right hand corner. Then select the Ethernet tab on the right side of the list of new tabs.
You'll then see a list of settings, mostly greyed out. For the Configure: setting, change from Automatically to Manually, leave all other settings the same, except for MTU: which should be showing Custom, if not set it to Custom, and make sure the value in the dialog box below it is 1400. Then click OK. When you get back to the main screen for Network and with the interface you did this on still selected, hit apply.
This is not optimal, but until Apple fixes the network code to handle the built in default. You'll want to undo this (set it back to Automatically). When that will be, I don't know. I'll probably try it out with 10.5.2 whenever that is.
I haven't verified yet that this keeps across reboots. I'll probably try with my macbook while I'm watching the game.

  • Can't access home page in itunes store

    I've been looking and I haven't found anyone else with the exact same problem as me. I have a mac OS X 10.4.11 and the latest itunes (9.2). I can do anything in the itunes store I want besides access the itunes store home page. I can search, I can go to the music and movie subsections, etc. but when I click on the home button it displays the message "We could not complete you iTunes Store request. You do not have permission to access the requested resource." and then, underneath that, in smaller print, it says "There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later." I've been having this problem for weeks. Please Help!!

    Try without logon.faces in the url.

  • Can't access one tab in iTunes U account

    We have an instructor who is using iTunes U to have students submit files in several different categories. Her site has tabs for each category, and as of yesterday evening, no one can access one of the tabs. Clicking on it produces the "Could not complete the iTunes Store request. The store may be busy." message. I found an old discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2026539?start=0&tstart=0) that makes me think a student may have uploaded a file that is causing the problem, but as I can't access the tab, I can't see what's been uploaded. Our iTunes U admin is in training all day, but she did indicate that when she checked last night, she could see all of the files for the tab in the Upload/Manage area, but she can't tell which file might be causing the problem.
    Does anyone have a suggestion for what might be causing this behavior, or what we can try to do to fix it?
    Thanks!

    When you select the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences, nothing is available below even the option to select Sync Apps?
    Was this available before and this is a recent change? It must have been available before if you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences which is the only place where you can select Sync Apps for your iPad sync preferences.
    Do you have Restrictions enabled on your iPad and if so, is installing apps selected as a restriction?

  • Can't log into iTunes store account

    So I can no longer log into my iTunes store account. When I try to log in, I get an error message in red letters saying:
    FieldName: null. java.lang.Exception
    I have tried resetting my password mutliple times with no luck. I can log into my Apple Store account, I can log into the forums (obviously since I am able to post on these forums), yet iTunes will not let me log in.
    Anybody else experience this as well or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance for your help

    I am experiencing the same exact problem you are. What gives? I never messed around with my login information and I've always gotten in before. But now I can't.
    I've also done the password reset, and still it won't let me log in with the new password.
    This is the same red error message I get as well:
    FieldName: null. java.lang.Exception
    Does anybody know what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks.

  • 2 iPods + 2 Computers + 2 iTunes Store Account

    So me and my father each have one of each.
    I my ipod, my comp, my iTunes Store Account and him his.
    I bought a few games and so did he. He has a Touch and I a Nano 4thG. Some are compatible. I connected my iPod to his and tried to pass his games to mine but all my games were deleted and his installed.
    Isn't there anyway I can share for the same household my games and music? If there is, how?

    Yes, you can do this.
    First, you need to authorize both of your PCs with each other's itunes accounts.
    Second, you need to copy the purchased files from one PC to another. I use a USB memory stick to get purchases between my home PC and work PC. I copy it onto the new PC's hard drive, and then drag it over from Win Explorer into the itunes library.
    You could use your ipods and the "Copy purchases" feature. I think the reason your ipod was erased was becuase his PC wasn't authorized, but I'm not sure. That's why I use a USB stick - the Apple way seems fraught with ways to get things erased.

    If your family is fairly large with lots of brothers and sisters having iPods also, keep in mind that you can only have content from 5 itunes store accounts on your ipod at once.

  • HT5699 I forgot the answers for security questions, how can I reset them and get the access back to the iTunes store?

    Need help to get access to iTunes store. I bought an iTunes card bor buying on iTunes store.
    I forgot the answers for security questions, how can I reset them and get the access back to the iTunes store?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • My ipad mini doesn't have a web browser! Help. I can't access the internet or iTunes or the app store. The web browser icon isn't even there.Anyone know what to do?

    My ipad mini doesn't have a web browser! Help. I can't access the internet or iTunes or the app store. The web browser icon isn't even there.Anyone know what to do?

    I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
    All else fails? Restore it.

  • HT204406 I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine).  It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens-how do I get it to download on my computer

    I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine).  It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download (purchase is no longer a given option) ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens…how do I get it to download on my computer ?

    If you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it should copy over to your iTunes library. Depending upon what country that you are in you might also be able to redownload it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

    You can log out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap 'sign out' on the popup - you can then sign in with your account/
    If you synced any of your mum's apps to the iPad from your her computer then they will be tied to her account, so only her account will be able to download updates to her apps

  • I can no longer access my itunes store account

    When I try to log into my itunes store account information, I keep getting this weird error message that says:
    We could not complete you iTunes store request. An unknown error has occurred (5002).
    There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later.
    It's been doing this for about a week now. I've already changed my password and I still can't get anything to work. I have a different account and it will allow me to log in, but this one will not.
    Any ideas?

    Since your other account will work, it's probably a problem on the iTunes Store end of things. Contact the iTunes Store customer service group through the form at the bottom of their web page and explain the problem to them. They should be able to help you sort out the problem with your account login.
    Good luck.

  • HT201762 how to access my iTunes stores account?

    how to access my iTunes stores account?

    What exactly do you want to access/do with the account ?
    You can log into your account on your phone via Settings > iTunes & App Store, if you want to view/change details on it (e.g. payment details, primary email address) then (and if already logged in) tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap 'view apple id' on the popup. To buy an item from the store store tap on the item's price or free button in the iTunes or App Store apps
    On your computer's iTunes you can log in via the Store > Sign In menu option (if already logged into an account then that will show as Store > Sign Out), and to then view/change the account's details use Store > View Account.
