Can't connect and get access to my iTunes account & not able to purchase

For some reason I am not able to get connection or get access to my iTunes account and I am not able to make a App Purchase through the iTunes Store, the MessageI get is:
" We could not Complete your iTunes store request. A Secure Network connection could not be Established." then in smaller words below it, it says:"Check your computers date and Time are correct and try agsain."
My Date and time settings are correct, what does this have to do with my iTunes store purchase and iTunes account?????
what is going on here? what is wrong? and what do I need to do to fix this?
is the iTunes store system down?
I have tried to download a app game and now the game is in waiting mode and I can't delete it off from my iPod Touch and it is not showing in my computer apps lists just in my iPod Touch.

*Think I Fixed It!*
Used Keychain Utility to remove all untrusted and expired certificates. I had several. And I removed all stored passwords related to iTunes. Quit out of iTunes. Came back into iTunes. Logged out of my iTunes Store account (which it would not let me do before this). And logged back in. All is good now.
Could be coincidental I suppose but I had only moments before tried to log out of the iTunes Store account before doing the above and it was not working then.
Be cautious. Don't delete any certs that don't have RED X's on them.

  • I have just brought 2 mini's for my boys for xmas.  1. can I connect them both to my existing Itunes account or do I need to set up something different. and 2. can they be used on their dads account as well as mine, or only one?

    I have just brought 2 mini's for my boys for xmas.  1. can I connect them both to my existing Itunes account or do I need to set up something different. and 2. can they be used on their dads account as well as mine, or only one?

    You can set them up with your Apple ID if you want to. You can also set them up with their dad's Apple ID. Depending on how old the boys are, you can even let then have their own Apple ID's. The one thing that you don't want to do is have them use more than one Apple ID on their iPads.
    If you want to be able to share purchased content, then setting them up with either your ID or your husband's (?) ID would be the way to go. If the boys share an ID with one of you, they can download content that you have already purchased without having to pay for it again.
    If you and have the financial wherewithal to allow them to purchase their own individual content, I would recommend letting them have their own Apple ID. This way, as they grow older and eventually move on, they will have their own accounts, their own purchases .... No ties needed to your ID or to dad's ID. FaceTime and Messages will be a little easier to set up if they have their own ID's and they can have their own iCloud accounts as well. However, they must be 13 years old in order to have an Apple ID and iTunes account. If they are under 13, then it's a no brainer you will have to use yours or their father's ID.
    Whatever you decide to do, just don't switch from one ID to another ID on the iPads. That gets confusing and they could end up locking themselves out of one of the ID's for 90 days if they download a past purchase using a different ID.

    I have a new device. When selecting the language and country I am trying to connect to a wifi connection and getting the error 'Your Iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting to your Iphone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.

    Where exactly did you get this phone?
    Do you have a SIM in the phone?
    There are 2 primary causes for this.
    Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is REQUIRED to activate it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it.

  • How can my wife and I use our two iTunes account on one iPad

    How can my wife and I use our two iTunes accounts on one IPad

    Unfortunately it will be difficult. iPads are personal devices like phones and done have credentials. You can of course log out of and into the app store to download purchased apps but the iPad will then have all the apps of both your wife and you (though you could put these into folders I guess).

  • Setting up Brand New iPad 2 - iTunes Sharing and Getting Files from old iTunes Account

    Greetings.  I recently purchased an iPad 2 (convert after 20 years of PC use) and have been waiting to set it up until I knew the proper way to proceed.  I have multiple questions and am hoping those of you with more Apple experience can help out a convert .
    I would like to set it up with a new iTunes account so when my wife gets her iPad 2 next year we can share apps and movies we buy on iTunes.  Do you always have to sync your iPad to your PC to get your latest purchases or can you do that via the wireless connection directly on the iPad after the initial set-up?
    That said, if one of us buys an app/movie, will we both have to carry it on our iPads or will they store remotely on iTunes or on our PCs?  I'm just concerned about maxing out the storage space on the iPad.  Do the purchases need to occur on your PC vs. the iPad itself for both to have the app/movie access?
    I've also read about iCloud issues and syncing all calendar/contact/etc. accounts if two iPads are set-up with the same Apple ID.  What's the best way to initially configure the iPads so that you avoid this headache in the future?
    Once I get all this settled and get a new iTunes shared account working, is there any way to get the movies I have in both of our old iTunes accounts into the new shared iTunes account?  Can I simply drop them on a jump drive from one PC and place them into an appropriate folder on the new PC that the iPad sync's to if it does in fact need to sync?
    Again, appreciate all the help and sorry for all of the confusion and multiple thoughts.  I would just like to set this thing up once and for all the right way.
    Thanks again

    1, you can (re-)download a lot of purchases directly on the iPad without having to connect to your computer - apps and ibooks can be re-downloaded (as long as they remain available), music can be re-downloaded in some countries; tv shows can currently only be re-downloaded in the US. Re-downloading
    2, films are a one-time only download, so you can either download it on your computer's iTunes and sync it to your device(s), or if you download it directly on the iPad you will need to then copy it to your computer's iTunes (connect the iPad and do File > Transfer Purchases) so that you can make a backup and copy it to your other iPods, iPads etc.
    3, I haven't had any problems with iCloud, but then I don't share my account so it's only my account and contacts on my iPad and iPhone.
    4, you can authorise your old accounts on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) and copy the films onto it : File > Add File To Library - you can't copy or transfer content to a different account (nor can you combine accounts), they will remain tied to the original account
    The iPad's manual has some info about syncing and each of the built-in apps (the iBooks app is covered in the manual though it isn't pre-installed, but you can download it for free from the store) - the manual can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

  • I had a name for my user name not an email address and now I cannot get access to my itunes account

    I had a simple user name through the itunes store. It was just a name not an email address, now when I sign in it sends me to an old itunes account which does not recognize purchases that I have made over  the last 5 years.
    Any clue as to how I can access my old account again? I tried asking the system to send me a password with my username (which is not an email address) and have yet to see an email that was on flie with that address.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thank you.

  • If someone steels your ipod nano with music already on it, can they then plug the nano into their computer and have access to my itunes account and all the music there also?

    If someone steels your idpod nano with music already on it.....can they also plug the stolen ipod into their computer and have my itunes account pop up with all my current music there?

    No, the must have your apple id and pw to do so it will also ask for them to erase and sync

  • Can my wife and i share the same itunes account on different iphones?

    Hello everyone,
    My wife has had an iTunes account, Iphone, and Ipod for a while.  I just bought an Iphone and Ipod and would like to utilize her music library without messing up her phone or itunes account.  We'd like to maintain separate apps and stuff on our devices...so when I download music and apps, she doesn't want that showing up on her phone when she pairs it to her itunes account.  Can this be done?
    I have heard that I need to create my own Apple ID, which I have...so I can download my own apps...but will I have access to her itunes music if I do that?
    Thanks!

  • Can I connect two iPhones to two different iTunes account on the same iMac?

    I have one (1) iMac and two (2) iPhones and two (2) iPads...
    I have set up two (2) login accounts on the same iMac... one for myself and another for my wife.
    Likewise I have setup iTunes account for myself and for my wife in both the logins... the problem occurs when I try and sync my wife's iPhone to her version of the iTunes...
    By the way I have authorised the same iMac with both the iTunes account so that me and my wife can have a individual setups and not mess with each others apps / music.
    Any help would be welcome.
    Thanks 

    Each iTunes account is linked to a different Apple ID.  Setup one iPhone with the Apple ID for your wife and the other with the Apple ID for yourself.  Then sync the iPhones to their respective login/iTunes accounts on the Mac.

  • HT201394 I am travelling. How can I fix this without access to my iTunes account?

    The article talks about having to use a a desk/laptop to revert to the old iOS. I dont have access to mine. So, am I out of luck?

    Unfortunately you need access to iTunes in order to downgrade. A new update, ios 8.0.2, will be out in a few days. If you have access to the internet on your phone you can update it through your phone by going to settings>general>software update.

  • Family sharing - kids get prompt for their iTunes account password for each purchase they make

    so I have Family Sharing setup for my wife and kids.
    My kids all have their own iCloud setup and the App/iTunes store is also logged in as themselves. (They don't have any CC info entered.)
    My problem here is that when my 5 year old wants to download/purchase anything she gets a prompt for her AppleID password.. why is that when I'm the one who has to approve all purchases/download before anyways? This system doesn't seem to be "that" kid friendly when they have to enter a complex password every time they want to download/purchase anything.
    Am I missing something? Is there a setting somewhere to disable or save password prompts for the App/iTunes store?

    Have a look here...
