Cannot access itunes, asks for Safari upgrade

As of today I cannot access the itunes store! It says I need version 4 or later for safari.
My Macbook was upgraded to Leopard with a work licence years ago. When I checked the software version of this mac it says 10.5.
Safari is 3.0.4.
I downloaded the leopard update for Safari, but cannot use it. It says this
"You cannot install Safari on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer."
This is leopard isnt it?
I always have problems installing updates, don't know why, but never bothered me as didnt stop me from doing anything until now.
Any ideas how to fix this?

click on the  menu at the left side of your menu bar and choose +about this Mac+
When I click on the software it just says 10.5. Perhaps this version needs to be updated to a lesser version first?
no, the combo updater will update any version of 10.5.x to 10.5.8.
when was the last time you repaired permissions ? did you do any maintenance at all ?
i suggest you run disk utility (in your applications > utilities folder) and click on +repair permissions+. does it report anything out of the ordinary ?
if disk utility reports that it +finished successfully+ or so, restart your Mac and re-download the combo updater. double-click on the .dmg file to mount the disk image and run the installer. your Mac will re-boot after the install is done. run another +repair permissions+ using disk utility.
also, you might want to download and install OnyX, which is +a multifunction utility for Mac OS X. it allows you to verify the Startup Disk and the structure of its System files, to run miscellaneous tasks of system maintenance.+ let OnyX run the maintenance scripts once a month.
you can get the Leopard version of OnyX here.
good luck !

Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate account on same macbook. Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account

Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate itunes account on same macbook. Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account. How do I do this?

iTunes account is not the same as iTunes library.
iTunes account is what you use to purchase from iTunes.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
You can have items from multiple iTunes accounts in one iTunes library.

Cannot access iTunes store for over 2 weeks.

Ok, admittedly I haven't been continually trying to connect to the store during the 2 week period -- I just happened to try again today and saw that I got the same error as before. However, the error itself lays little blame on my end when it produces this message:
"We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The host is down. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
Quite a nebulous message -- no error # or mention of any kind is given that indicates an error on my end.
I believe this corresponded with my upgrade to 7.1.1, but I would be wrong. Searching the rest of the forum yielded no relevant topics.
All other internet activity works just fine and it is only the iTunes Store that is giving me any sort of problem at all.
Thanks for any help you are able to provide.

Thanks for your post.
An update with my situation -- I am now able to access the iTunes Store.
The culprit was a program called Little Snitch. With it, you can selectively deny or allow outbound internet traffic from applications (outbound traffic from certain applications surreptitiously exchange private user information). An option for denying outbound traffic with Little Snitch is "Deny until quit." I rarely use the iTunes Store and I don't think I've either reset my computer or quit iTunes since the last time I got that error 2 weeks ago and forgot about having chose to deny its outbound traffic when using iTunes (the outbound traffic occurred when I wasn't even trying to access the store directly, rather it was exchanging information with the store in the background, when I was just listening to music).
Little Snitch informs me where the information is attempting to be sent and on which port it is using to convey that information. Several different servers are contacted (phobos.apple.com, akamaitechnologies.com, and omniture.112.2o7.net), but all of the exchanges took place on port 80 (http). So if you are able to exchange information on your web browser, there's no reason that you shouldn't be able to exchange information using iTunes, unless there are measures in place on your end that only allow the exchange of traffic on port 80 using specific applications.
Is there something else intercepting traffic between your computer and the servers the iTunes store uses that may be causing the problem for you?
Hope some if this information was helpful.

Cannot access iTunes store for application updates

Could not purchase "". A secure network connection could not be established.
Check that your computer's date and time are correct and try again.
I get the same alert on my desktop and my iPhone.
Internet is working fine. No recent changes to network.

OK. Why do my problems always get solved by themselves right after I post a question.

Version 9,0,3 (15) of iTunes asking for a new version of Safari !

I uploaded the new version of iTunes but since I can not connect to the Store, iTunes is asking for Safari 4.0.3 when I have Safari 3.1.2. I am on Mac OS 10.4.8 and when I upgrade all the software, this version 4.0.3 of Safari is never proposed.
Is 4.0.3 linked with Leopard that I never installed ?
Can I go back to the version before of iTunes ?
Is 4.0.3 compatible with Mac OS 10.4.9 ?
Thanks for your help
Arnaud

i believe if you upgrade to 10.4.11 (use the combo updater http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__Intel), you will be able to install the current Safari and use the new version of iTunes.

I connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone.

First, you do not have a 3G if you could upgrade it to 6.1.3, because 4.2.1 is the last version that will work on the 3G. So you either have a 3GS or you somehow hacked the phone to install an incompatible version. You can check the model you have by entering your serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Assuming you have a 3GS the most likely reason for your problem is you have a gray market phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. When you upgraded it you removed the hack, so the phone is now locked to its original carrier.

Fallout75, good catch on the eXo plugin. To remove it, in the Finder click "Go" on the menu bar and pull down to "Go to Folder" and then type ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
When that Finder window opens, you should see an "eXo" subdirectory. Just delete that "eXo" folder and iTunes should start without the error.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

HT3204 Cannot access the server for iTunes error

Cannot access iTunes server

After trying everything under the sun including emailing iTunes Store support, and uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes with NO success, I finally got it to work!!!
I uninstalled NetBarrier which I had recently installed and VIOLA! I can now access my Wish List and other iTunes Store items I had problems with. Hopefully, it is this simple for the rest of you.

I cannot access iTunes store from my laptop. I could for years but suddenly - no.
Have removed all recently installed software. Have uninstalled and re-installed both my anti-virus software and iTunes.
Have allowed pop-ups.
Have flushed the DNS. Nothing.
Still can't access the store. Please help!

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:

I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?

i had the same problem before using a fresh install of Windows 8.1. I have resolved this issue by running the program compatibility wizard. This I did by right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the desktop, selecting Troubleshoot compatibility, waited for it to detect compatibility issues and when presented with the following options: 1.) Try recommended settings; 2.) Troubleshoot program, I chose the latter. When asked what problems I noticed, I checked the following: "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run" and "The program requires additional permission"
After that, it tired to resolve the issue, and provided the necessary settings to run iTunes. Now it's running flawlessly. I have Avast anti-virus installed though.
HTH!
