Can't conect to the iTunes store
Anybody else having this issue? I upgraded to 8.0 yesterday, no problem. But then tried to launch Genius and got the message "couldn't connect to the iTunes store. network connection timed out." Same thing when I clicked iTunes Store. Same thing when I connected my iPhone and tried to get the updated software. "Couldn't connect to server".
Yet my web connection's working fine. Could easily launch my browser from anywhere else--even on iTunes to get to Support.
Any suggestions?
I've experienced the same thing. Time seems to have fixed it; I can connect to the store now.
Now, however, I've sent myself a gift certificate and it's not coming to my e-mail. I've resent it twice and still no sign of it.
Also, I had some issues updating apps earlier; I was able to update them on iTunes but not on the iPhone. I had to remove the apps from the phone and reinstall them to make the problem disappear.
I have a feeling the store is overwhelmed with Genius stuff and with all the updates to iTunes and the iPhone software. I sure hope it's resolved soon.

I'm playing clash of the clans and I'm not able to download gems. It keeps saying unable to connect to iTunes whenever I press buy....
Hey there Aliship,
It sounds like you are unable to purchase in game items. I would check the Passcode Restrictions to see if in app purchases have been disabled. I would use this article to help you check that:

when I want to download something, always show me " cannot connect to the intues store ? What I can do now ?Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Hey everyone
With my iPhone 4S I purchased the NAVIGON Europe App, downloaded needed files and maps within the App and all worked fine. But when I try to buy certain add-ons via In-App purchase I get a window telling me that it can'T connect to the iTunes store and that I have to contact iTunes store support.
This is what I have already tried to make it work:
Reset my iphone via iTunes (set it up as new iPhone)
Changed itunes store payment option from Click&Buy to credit card
restarted iPhone several times
scratched my head
checked restrictions under settings in iPhone: all is correct; in-App purchases allowed
chewed my lip
finally sent a message to the itunes store support.. waiting for their answer
no changes so far. I still get the same error message.
Any ideas?

HT5113 "Invalid code error" and "can't connect to the iTunes Store." Any suggestions?
I keep getting an "invalid code error" when trying to preview a course with the enroll code. When I click on the link to the course, I get an error that says "can't connect to the iTunes Store." Any suggestions?
I tried previewing a test course I made about a year ago. I was able to request access to the course, went into Course Manager and approved it, but hours later it still says awaiting approval on my iPad.
Any ideas as to what could be going on, aside from a cruel April Fool's joke?
Thanks.
DavidHow about trying to sign out of your account on the iPad, restart the iPad, sign back into the account and then try again?
Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap on your ID and sign out - restart - go back - sign in.
Other than going through the support article - if you haven't already done so - the only other thing I can think of is to reset/reboot the iPad. That can clear the memory and it does help solve a lot of "hinky" issues.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
I can not connect to the ITunes store. I have updated my apple ID and made sure that everything is set correctly. However, I can not purchase or update any apps no matter what I do. My partner has the same phone and hers works perfectly. I'm not sure how to sort this out. Please help
Thanks
AndyI've been having this problem for weeks and have found no solution to it. There are lots of other people with this issue too if you look back on the boards. I even e-mailed AND called Apple and have had no luck. I tried all the suggestions they gave me and all the ones I found on here- nothing worked. I even uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (boy was that a pain!) and no difference.
The weird part is that I have an old laptop that works and if I buy music with the laptop I can download it with my regular computer buy buying does not work on my regular computer. That tells me it's not a connection issue. I can't get to my account either.
I can't figure out why an issue that has kept so many people from purchasing a product has been ignored! -
I can't connect to the iTunes store from my iMac and have problems loading a number of other websites, however some websites load perfectly well. I have had the iTunes store issue on my iPad and resolved it by changing the DNS but surely I should use the DNS for my router. I don't really want to change it for the iMac as I access secure sites with it to internet shop.
Any ideas, I was going to try loading Chrome but can't get it without going through the iTunes store. Anyway, that is treating the symprom not the cause.Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

I get an error that says can't connect to the itunes store when I search for a specific artist only
Hi all,
When I try to search for music by a specific artist in the iTunes store on my iPhone 5, I get an error that says "Can't connect to the iTunes store". This only happens when I search for music by this band. I can search for other artists and listen to song clips and everything seems to be connecting to the iTunes store just fine. But for some reason, it doesn't work with this artist. The band name is July for Kings. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but I hope so!
Thanks,
RickIF you are not able to resolve your issue then contact Apple Support at https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.do?caller=ikb&PRKEYS=PL220,1316 29,PL113,PL302,PF3,PF4,PF9,PL303,PL339,p…
hopefully they can help. You may also be interested to know that for some reason it is just not available to a lot of people at the same time. Appears to be an issue of more users than their servers can handle. Has happened periodically for at least 6 months that I know of but apparently users are able to use within several days if there are no other issues with the users device. -

I can't connect to the itunes store. I have the latest version of itunes on my windows 7 computer. I can connect to itunes from my ipad and ipod but no my windows computer. i dont get any error message, the bar at the top just says accessing itunes
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Problem after updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista.. I can no longer access the iTunes store..
Hi
After updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista I have found that I can no longer access the iTunes store... I am left with a blank iTunes screen with the loading bar stuck at halfway..
All other features seem to work... only opening the iTunes store is failing..
I have ran the diagnostics feature and this says everything is ok, so I'm a bit stuck
Please helpPurple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!" You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3). I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store. My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5. Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs. I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store.
Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix. -
Can no longer access the iTunes store.
As of a few days ago I can no longer access the iTunes Store. Keep getting the page that urges me to upgrade.
I cannot not upgrade to the current version on my G5 Power PC. Cannot access by using Search either. I am running
iTunes 7.5 because all newer versions required an upgrade of Quicktime which screwed up the performance of Final Cut Studio,
which I can also not upgrade because I don't own an Intel Mac. I am so tired of Apple not supporting their loyal customers
who own older Macs, especially in these hard economic times. Was considering the purchase of an iPhone, but not anymore.
If anyone knows of a work around to the iTunes problem I would appreciate an answer. It not, then Goodbye Apple it was nice
knowing you.This is what I had to do to access iTunes store with 10.4.11 (took all day for the downloads)
1. download & install iTunes 9.2.1 (101 MB)
2. download & install Quicktime 7.5.5 (61 MB)
3. message 'need to install Safari 4.0.3 or later' (and I never use Safari)
4. download Safari (26 MB)
5. Safari won't install without 'latest security update'
6. download latest security update 2009-005 (Intel) v. 1.0 (172 MB)
7. take a long walk
8. install security update and restart
9. install Safari and restart
And yes, now I can download music again from the iTunes store. I would have given up and gone with Amazon.com but mp3 downloads are only available to folk in USA, and I'm in Australia. -
After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?
The problem is with version 10.4.1. I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work. The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me. Here was their list of steps:
Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
2. Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
a. iTunes
b. QuickTime
c. Apple Software Update
d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
e. Bonjour
f. Apple Appllcation Support
3. Reboot PC
4. Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes. To correct this:
5. Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
6. Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
7. Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
8. Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date. It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
9. Reboot PC -
