Can't get Tunes to connect to the store...yep....Windows8!

I think I have tried all the "tips". Downloaded new software, set the compatability and made sure itunes was on the list to pass the firewall. NOTHING works.

Thanks for the reply Sara. When I run diognostics....I get verification that the Internet connection has been established, but I get a failed notification that indicates a "secure link" has not been established between me and tunes and that tunes is being blocked by the firewall. I have added tunes as an acceptable app in the firewall, but this does not solve the problem. I keep getting the indication that tunes was set to run in XP service pak 3, but I have manually changed that as well.....it just won't seem to change. I have downloaded tunes 4 times to this new PC running 8 and the downloaded version has never ran on XP, yet it keeps indicating the program is trying to run as XP. I can't seem to change that or disable the compatability mode. Sorry to say that the Apple reps. have been of no help at all. Tunes continues to want to run in XP mode....and I can't change it.
I'll go read that post you mentioned above from 19Chevy and see if I can discover anything. Tunes keeps trying to run as XP and I can't seem to change it, or remove the conpabality feature.

  • Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. Any suggestions?

    Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. The light on the Express is flashing green though. Does it mean I have to re-set the settings on Airport Utility? I.e. the old settings haven't been cleared yet. Any suggestions?

    Let's see if I can get this straight.
    You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
    Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
    Correct?
    See this Apple document:

    The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.

  • Bought a blue tooth keyboard and I can't get it to connect to the ipad

    I bought a keyboard from bro ketone to use with the iPad. I can't get it to connect on the Bluetooth. Does anyone use this product with their iPad?

    Return your phone and get your money back. There are no unlocked iphones sold in the US...none...zero...nada. All US iphones are locked to AT&T with no way to officially unlock them as AT&T will not authorize the unlocking of an iphone for anyone for any reason. Doesn't matter if purchase the iphone with or without contract, they are all locked to AT&T. Return it and purchase a phone in France. All of the carriers there offer unlocking.

  • Updating firmware when I can't get an internet connection through the router

    I am trying to update the firmware for WRT54G V8, but some of the instructions indicate I need to have the router connected and be connected to the internet.  I cannot get an internet connection through the router.  Can I upgrade firmware without being connected to the internet through the router.  (I have had this router for about a year and a half with no problems until now.)

    Yes, you can upgrade the firmware without an Internet connection.
    To upgrade the firmware, first download the new firmware into a computer that you can wire to your router.
    Next, power down your entire network.
    Then wire the computer to a LAN port on the router.
    Disconnect all other wires from the router.
    Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    Power up your computer.
    Login to the router, and do the firmware upgrade  (it will likely take several minutes).
    Power down your entire network.
    Next you need to reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is likely dead. Report back with this problem
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. Report back with this problem.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Can't get a secure connection to the iTunes store

    Hey, been trying to connect to iTunes store for 4 months now. It used to work on my computer but now it says there's a problem getting a secure connection to the iTunes store. Its not the firewall or the network. Have tried: removing AVG, flushing dns, emailing apple, updating iTunes, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, changing to a new wireless network, but nothing worked. Have looked at all the pages of possible errors for windows but can't find anything that works.
    Any ideas? My computer used to have Norton 360 on it but it was deleted. Could there possibly be some files remaining that are preventing a connection to the iTunes store?
    Here's the error message part..

  • Went from wrt 310n to 610n now i can't get it to connect to the internet.

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone had this problem.  I changed my router from an old linksys wireless G speedboost to the wrt 310n.  The setup disc was wonderful and I had no problems at all.  What surprised me was that the setup disc knew I had a router and guided about changing the router..  Everything went well and I had no problems for a day.  Then I saw the dual band 610n wireless n.  So I took out the wrt 310n and exchanged it for the 610n.  During the setup disc which looked almost similar to the 310n one, I encountered a slight problem.  It states that I don't have an internet connection.  I rebooted everything and still does not work. I'm connected to the network but no internet connection.  My computer gets an IP address of 192.168.1.100.   I checked my username and password because I'm using a PPPOE DSL connection.  I hooked up my modem directly to the computer and I got an internet connectoin. So I did the setup disc.  When it was time to switch to the router, it still does not pick up an internet connection.  Any tips in solving this?  Is my stuff defective?

    Thanks for responding.   I tried that method and it didn't work for me. Also, I need the MTU to be above 1400 for online play.  However, I found this on amazon review about the WRT610N.  http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B001AZ01EO?showViewpoints=1  Seems like everyone is either enjoying this router or having problems with it. 
    This guy says the solution is to change the router's address to 192.168.2.1.  Ok I'm confused, but why does changing the router's address seem to work for some people.  I'm gonna try this when I get home from work later.  But can anyone tell me why changing the router's address may be the answer to get this router to connect to the internet?  Has this solution worked for anyone else that was having the same problem.  Also, why isn't this implemented in wrt610n, but all the router versions before it seems to be fine? (WRT310N, WRTGS, etc.) You would think the wrt610n is almost like the top of the line router you can get for your home that they would have implemented this in the setup disc or the router.  For it being Dual band maybe?  Who knows, this is a mystery to me.
    Solution
    http://www.amazon.com/review/R16YOJTVKHJI15/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?%5Fencoding=UTF8&ASIN=B001AZ01EO&nodeID...
    I also found this answer in the linksys docs as well under step #2.  Almost makes the setup disc useless to me.

    Not too sure why that would work.  I'm kinda embarassed to ask this since I graduated in networks and security of a Comp Sci degree. .  Hope my teacher isn't reading this.

    Hi David,
    thank you once again for your help.
    So when viewing your Local Area Connection>>Status
    you're seeing data packets sent but no packets received on your desktop
    machine? - Yes
    Is your desktop configured with a static IP address or is it
    configured to obtain an IP address automatically?I' ve tried both static IP address and that it obtain IP address automatically, I have also done it with the TPC.
    Also, does your TPC
    get a valid IP address when the connection to your desktop is present? - when TPC is set to obtain adress automatically it gets IP address and then after some time it loses it - it is set to 0.0.0.0, and then it obtains the IP adress again and so on.
    Can you provide the address, subnet, and gateway you're getting for
    both machines?- I've done it, but it didn'e help
    Also any firewall settings or exceptions you may have
    active if the firewall is enabled? - firewall is disabled
    I'd also like to know what
    modules and toolkits you do have installed on both the TPC - TPC is new and I haven't installed there anything.
    On my desktop - I have standard Labview 8.2,the real time module is installed. All I know, there are already drivers for TPC2012 in this LabView version. On the included CD I have only drivers for another TPCs.
    Thanks,

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,
