Can't Access iTunes Music Store, Please Help

When I open my itunes and click on the music store, I can not access it. It says, "Could not complete the music store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later."
My internet connection is fine, so I don't know what is going on. My firewall is set to accept itunes requests. This has been going on for a few days now, I'm clueless on what's going on. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'd start off by going to the "Advanced" menu and selecting "Run Diagnostics...", then choosing to test for network settings to the iTunes Store. It should tell you if a firewall really is blocking you from accessing the store or if something is going on, I would think.

Can't access iTunes music store anymore!!

I recently just added Webroot Spysweeper and Norton Anti-Virus, while I made changes to the firewall on Norton and completely disabled Spysweeper, I still keep getting an error when trying to connect to the iTunes music store with my account.
"We Could Not Complete Your iTunes Store Request. An unknown error occurred (-50).
"There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later. "
Then if I skip logging in and just click anything such as Music, Movies, TV Shows directly, I get this error...
"We Could Not Complete Your iTunes Store Request. The network connection timed out.
"Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again"
My internet connection is fine, but I can't figure out what is happening.
Please help!!

I can't access "Run Diagnostics." It only shows "Run CD Diagnostics." In fact, I can't even get into the Apple Discussions Support website. I am having to use my other computer to send these posts. My other computer has not been upgraded to Internet Exporer 7.0 yet and it will bring up Itunes Music Store okay, so I can see the "Run Diagnostics" you are talking about just fine. Any other ideas?

Hi stewart,
I assume you can connect to the internet otherwise, through your browser, email client, etc?
If so, check this post:
Can't connect to the iTunes Music Store
If not, investigate your internet connection.

Have you tried repairing disk permissions : iTunes download error -45054

Can't access the Music Store. This thing is driving me nuts!!!

Ever since installing iTunes V7.x I had stability problems with iTunes and my Video iPod. I finally gave up and rolled back to iTunes 6.04 and restored the iPod to its former firmware. I thought my problems were behind me until I noticed this morning that none of my Podcasts were being updated, even though it looked like it was going through the motions. Every single podcast had a with the message:
"There was a problem downloading "xxx". The network connection was reset"
I then tried accessing the Music Store and got the message:
"iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was reset."
I checked and re-entered my Apple account name and password, but still no go. If I went to the Apple web site directly, then the Apple store, I had no problem logging in. In the early iTune days I had the same "network connection reset" problem, but Apple apparently fixed it. Now here it is again. It is my gut feel that the problem has something to do with the fact that I depend on a satellite internet feed (Hughesnet). I'm guessing that there is some security feature either in iTunes, the Music Store, or both that is getting confused by the long turn-around time (latency) resulting from using satellite, but no way to prove it (unfortunately, due to poor health, I can't get out to try other internet connections).
Bottom line is I am stuck with an iPod I can't use because I can't access the Music Store. Any ideas?

Believe it or not I got mine working finally though I'm not sure which of the following steps, if any, did the trick. I posted this problem in the DSLReports forum. Apparently several people had problems though none mentioned iTunes specifically. The 'fix' was to go into the advanced menu and change the proxy port to something other than Port: 87. The idea was that this effectively turns off the proxy server or I should say forces your receiver to not use the proxy server. Well I tried this and didn't see any difference. Rather than screw anything else up I decided to reset the DW7000 thus restoring the original settings. For some reason it all of sudden could finally access the Music Store, update podcasts, etc.; i.e. it started working.
From what I've read, each time you reset the receiver it goes out an decides on the proxy server to use (not necessarily the same one each time). I'm guessing the proxy server it picked up after the reset was more iTunes friendly. Of course it's possible that it has nothing to do with the proxy server and the reset fixed whatever was wrong. Bottom line, reset your receiver and see if the access problem goes away. If not, try again. It only takes a few seconds so really you have nothing to loose. Kind of obvious when you think about it. What's the first thing you do when your computer is having a problem? Yep, reset.

If it's reached the point where you can't try re-entering the code then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you repeatedly enter the wrong passcode, your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will be disabled for longer intervals before you can try again. After too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until you connect it to the computer with which you last synced it.
You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

I can't access my icloud account , please help

I can't access my icloud Account, please help .

How are you trying to access it? You can't access the iCloud website on Safari on an iPad, you have to sign in in Settings>iCloud and access the data through the relevant apps.
Have you successfully set up an iCloud account? Can you log in at http://icloud.com on a computer? What operating system are you running on your iPad?
Do you get an error message when you try to access it?
You really need to post more data with a question like this, just 'I can't access' doesn't really allow for any sort of answer.

Can't Access the Music Store in a New Country, help!

I'm studying in Denmark and I can't seem to access the iTunes music store. I don't know if this is because I'm abroad or if its something else. I've tried disabling my firewall, and I've installed the new iTunes 7 and nothing seems to be working. Other computers on my network are able to access the music store. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

My bad, I meant that I can't get it to load. Whenever I try it gives me a message saying:
"iTunes could 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"
Dunno what network settings I would need to change to make this work, my connection is definitely active. I don't know if its a problem with just iTunes or other things as well. I tried using Napster and emusic as a test and Napster wouldn't connect and the emusic downloads failed.

ITunes 9.0.2 Crashes Trying to Access iTunes Music Store on Startup

HI, everyone,
I installed iTunes 9.0.2 today in preparation for an iPhone software upgrade, but iTunes freezes 100% of the time just after it starts up and tries to access the iTunes Music Store. There's a bit of activity in the progress bar when iTunes first starts, and then the progress bar for accessing the store shows half way finished and the program crashes (every time).
I've reinstalled, rebooted, removed and replaced the preference files and my library, all to no avail.
I'm running WinXP Pro SP 3, patches all up to date, but now I can't access my library on my computer nor can I upgrade my iPhone.
Others of you have had similar problems; one of you reported a "parental control" issue with CA security suite. I have Trend Micro and can't find any parental controls to deal with.
I have IE 8 installed but use Firefox 3.0.15.
This has been a horrible day. I have many papers to grade for my college classes and expected the installation to go smoothly (as the ones in the past have; iTunes 8 worked great).
Please help!

Hi, b noir,
No, I'm afraid I don't have Nod32 installed. I wish I did--maybe a simple fix!
I'm working from home using the laptop the school supplied me. It's a domain machine, and Trend Micro's OfficeScan is installed but it's offline (though it seems to be working). The Windows firewall is disabled, probably because of the school's antivirus installation, so there doesn't seem to be a setting I can access.
I'd guess something on my machine is forcing iTunes to free as it starts to access the Music Store. My heart just sinks every time I start iTunes (dozens of times today), only to see it freeze solid every single time I open it.
Dan
