Can't connect to iTunes store after upgrade to iTunes 10.5

I've been trying to get this to work all day. I've done the whole uninstall in this order and reinstall several times to no avail. I've also tried the "netsh winsock reset" thing I saw on another question which also didn't work.
On top of this whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4g with it, it says that the iPod touch timed out so it couldn't sync (tried to sync several times).
Then I tried to upgrade to iOS 5 (also tried several times) but all I get is a frozen iTunes or the it hangs up on the backup phase. Can someone please help me solve this?!
This is all I get when trying to connect to iTunes store:
(Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit by the way)

I was having the same problem earlier today, and what I ultimately did to solve the issue was:
Completely uninstall iTunes 10.5 by following http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Find my backup iTunes Library File (*.itl) from the previous version, and copy it to "iTunes Library.itl"
See http://technicallyeasy.net/2009/03/restoring-a-previous-version-of-your-itunes-l ibrary/
Reinstall with the previous software, iTunes 10.4.1
The fact that the old 10.4.1 software works correctly in accessing the iTunes Store, and the new 10.5 software does not work correctly, suggests to me that there is some kind of bug in the iTunes 10.5 application itself. Hopefully the developers can figure it out. In the meantime, I'm happily working again on the previous version and will be planning to stay there until this mess has been cleared up.

Cannot connect to iTunes Store after upgrading to iTunes 10.4

Hi, i'm using MAC OS X 10.6.8
After I upgrading the iTunes to version 10.4 yesterday
itunes cannot connect to the itunes store anymore
and it would keep connecting
i can't even cancel the connection...
now i can't do anything with my itunes....

I also updated my Mac OS X to version 10.6.8 a few hours ago as well and I upgraded my iTunes to the latest version, but now I can't connect to the store AND iTunes can't detect my iPhone 4! Not only that, but my iPod nano can't make a connection either. So I don't have any means to backup my files or sync my iPhone and iPod to my Mac and vice versa. In my case though, the iTunes Store doesn't even tell me that it's connecting at all, the page just says, "iTunes Store" just like when I don't have an internet connection, but the fact is, I do have internet, so why is this happening? It's really giving me a hard time to solve this issue. Is iTunes 10.4 having a problem? Help will be greatly appreciated!

Can't connect to the iTunes store after upgrading to iTunes 8

I just updated to iTunes 8 and am trying to download the iPhone update. Whenever I try to get the download, I keep getting an error saying that a connection could not be made and I should check my internet connection. Is there a problem with the iTunes store or is there a network setting in iTunes I should check?

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem. I removed and then added the bonjour service from the list of allowed programs but it still won't connect.

Can't connect to app store after upgrading to Mavericks

After installing Mavericks, I can't update any of my apps, or open any previous apps. When I do try to sign in, it always says "An unknown error has occurred". I have a yahoo.com Apple ID, but even when I try signing in with a gmail.com Apple ID, I get the same error. What is going on?

That worked gor me as well.
Go to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and then delete NetworkInterfaces.plist
Restarting. Going to the system prefs/network - saving then launching the app store.
Did the trick for me.

Can't connect ipad to wifi after upgrading to ios6

can't connect ipad to wifi after upgrading to ios6

Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi. (This is probably not practical in your situation.)
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

Cannot Connect it iTunes store after upgrade

I STUPIDLY allowed the iTunes upgrade to install today. Now I cannot connect to the iTunes store. I have completely shut off the Norton Firewall. Get this... I run the iTunes diagnostic tool (Help.. run diagnostics) and it tells me everything's connecting fine:
I ran the diagnostics. It says all the connections are good but I still cannot connect to the iTunes store after I upgraded. I have completely shut off my firewall.
iTunes 7.6.2.9
Firewall Information
Windows Firewall is off.
Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
Connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
Secure connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
Secure connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.

After several hours of searching in the forums and trouble-shooting I ended up on Norton chat support. They suggested I uninstall and reinstall Norton 360, and even gave me a free upgrade from v1.0 to v2.0 Inbetween removal of the v1.0 and reinstallation, I tried iTunes and was able to connect to the store. After installing v2.0 I can still connect so I'm running again for awhile.... .until the next update. Other people running Norton have had similar problems and Norton updates fixed it.
I still can't run the exact same iTunes library on my Vista laptop because artwork makes iTunes crash. An early 7.x update caused this and I had to move everything to my desktop with XP.

Lost iTunes Library after upgrading to iTunes 7.7 HELP PLEASE

I have two issues on hand : after upgrading to iTunes 7.7 I opened iTunes and all of my music was gone except for about 1,000+ songs (3.2 GB) when I originally had about 20GB worth of songs. How can I recover my full library into iTunes ?
Second issue: when importing new CDs into iTunes 7.7 it only plays a fraction of each song before moving on to another song, whereas iTunes shows that I have the full song imported.
I really appreciate someone's help here, and does the latest version of iTunes have a bug ??

Further to my last post, I find that the purchased songs have been retained in the iTunes Library of my Mac Book - is there any way iI can restore them to the iMac?

I was able to connect to the iTunes store before the upgrade but after going to iTunes 10 I have not been able to. Whats going on?
Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? Some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes. Consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure. If you have Norton, you can find instructions for that utility on Symantec's web page for iTunes. You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
Hope this helps.

Can no longer connect to wireless router after upgrading to iTunes 9.2

My wireless connection was fine (using MacBook). After upgrading iTunes, I can not longer connect to router/modem wirelessly - am tethered with an ethernet cable. Spent 1 1/2 hours on phone with AT&T support reseting the passwords, security, etc. A PC laptop accepts password and can connect. My iPhone still can connect. But my MacBook (OS X 10.6) will not recognize my password for the modem/router. Everything has been re-booted and reset to original settings. Also, I received an iPad yesterday and it won't accept the password for our home wireless network. The password is correct because I am using it on other devices that are connecting to the network. Any ideas?

Yes, but the issue is not with Lion directly; there seems to be something with the upgraded system, perhaps a legacy setting or pref... I've scoured the system to no avail. I'm actually about to reinstall 10.6 - wasted too much time on this issue.
Thanks for your help.

Cannot connect to iTunes Store after Upgrade to 7.6.1.9

Turn off all your firewalls, software accelerators, security software like Norton/McAfee/Zone Alarm/NOD/Kapersky/etc, even the Windows firewall.
An iTunes upgrade is actually an uninstall of itunes & quicktime, then a reinstall of the new versions.
Those items I mentioned all see iTunes as a new program and you have to set security to allow iTunes again. So if you temporarily turn them off and can connect to the sotre, you will know that's it.
This article has info on the Windows firewall settings:

Can't connect to music store after updating itunes; ?connection refused?

Can someone from itunes please help. i mean ****. i guess u guys don't think of the people in ur forums that have problems. i have a problem accessing the music store. it says the network connection was refused. please check ur settings...blah blah blah. anyway the point is there are tons of people with this problem, no solutions, end of story. and lots of people have been having this problem right after updating their itunes. WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? just tell us how to fix our music store. then maybe people would actually still use itunes instead of limewire.

The iTunes Music Store uses both HTTP Port 80 and 443. Make sure both are open in any firewall, and also make sure that the following domains are exempted in any firewall/filtering software:
phobos.apple.com
phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
You might want to completely shut down any firewall temporarily, just to see if that makes a difference. If you can then connect, you know it's a problem with your firewall.
Another possibility is an erroneous entry in the Hosts file. This tip from Mark Holly resolved problem for another poster (please note that I have not tried this fix so I cannot vouch for nor support the suggestion: I provide it only as a suggestion that worked for someone else):
NOTE: this will change a Windows operating system file. This could cause you problems if not done correctly.
Using Windows Explorer navigate to the following folder:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.
In this folder is file called 'hosts'. Open it using Wordpad.
On the poster's pc there was in this file one long line. At the end of this line was "127.0.0.1 phobos.apple.com:. phobos.apple.com is the web address for the music store. What "127.0.0.1 phobos.apple.com" is doing is telling the pc to look for the web address only on the computer rather than the internet. By remove this section of the line and saving the changes you may then be able to access the music store without any problems.
IMPORTANT: Before making the changes to the hosts file I highly recommend making a backup of it. That way you can restore the original if other problems occur.
Hope this helps.

I am afraid the are many possible causes for this.
Have you ever been able to connect to the store? If so, did you change anything just before the problem occurred?
The best way to start is to post your iTunes network connectivity diagnostics:
Help>>Run Diagnostics>>Network connectivity tests.
Paste the entire result into your next post.
In the mean time, you will see a number of threads about this which may give you some help.
Try briefly turning off your firewall to see if that allows connection. Think about other aspects of security software, antiphishing filters, popup blockers, parental controls. Web accelerators and proxy servers can also cause problems.

I can no longer get to the ITunes Store after upgrade.
