Cannot complete iTunes account registration.. Good grief..

So I bought a new iPod touch from the US military post exchange in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
I have been trying like crazy to create an account with iTunes so that I can access the store, but nothing doing! I successfully created an Apple user ID, but when I try to use that to log in to iTunes, it says that the ID has not yet been used in the iTunes store and that I need to review my account.
OK, fine. I go to select my payment method, enter my VALID credit card information and billing address, and I am now told that I need to contact iTunes support to complete this transaction.
I am assuming that this is because iTunes can recognize that I am logged onto the internet from a foreign country, yet I am trying to register for an account using my address in the United States. If this is the case, is there a chance that even iTunes support won't even be able to help me with this problem?
From what I have read elsewhere, iTunes support isn't all that...supportive.
I mean good lord, I would be happy enough just to get on and access the free apps, but there is no option available for iTunes store access without first registering with a credit card. I tried using my valid PayPal account but I got the same results. After my PayPal account was verified, it still asks me for a billing address. I assume this is where the discrepancy is.
So has anyone had a similar problem and already find a solution? Or did I just spend over $200 of my hard earned money on a product that promises much, but now provides me with a very limited use?
Thanks.

"Cannot complete iTunes store request..." error solved

As posted elsewhere here, repeated clicking between "iPhone" and any other header such as "Music" or "Playlists" in the iTunes browser has solved this error message:
"Cannot complete iTunes store request - network connection was reset. Make sure your connection is active and try again."
After about 45 minutes I got the message: "Restoring iPhone from backup"
It is now sloowwly restoring my original iPhone (No usb 2.0 on the old PowerBook G4 400)
Hammered Apple servers = tried patience. Keep trying!

I don't know if this will help you guys, but it worked for me...
I've been having the exact same problem since upgrading to iTunes 9. Installed the recent update to 9.0.1.8 with no change--still no icons when the Store comes up, long vertical layout, 306 error when clicking on anything.
I'm on an older Windows box with XP installed, Safari 4.0.3, iTunes 9.0.1.8. I use Firefox for the web. Though it WAS installed, I had never used Safari on this machine. Went to take a look at Safari and see if there was anything wrong.
I found that Safari was NOT set up properly to get through my Firewall--again, I had never used it before. As soon as I got the internet settings right in Safari and made sure it could get to the web properly, I re-launched iTunes and lo and behold the Store worked properly. This was NOT a problem with iTunes 8. Apparently everything with Safari needs to be kosher before the iTunes 9 Store will work.
Maybe you all have done this already, but it immediately solved the problem for me. Hope this helps someone.

Cannot Verify Itunes Account

Hello,
I cannot Verify my Itunes account...
I had to set up a new account because I couldnt remember what email address I used
I have the billing info and everythign set up
But when I get the email to verify I clicked the link I get:
The requested application was not found on this server.
Help!!
-- Christopher

For those who do not have a functional Apple ID Store account because your email is no longer active.
Goto appleid.apple.com and reset your email address there.
Click "Manage your acount" and put in your "non-working" account and password.
There will be an option to send a verification to another email address to verify.
Check your new email address (that will be your new apple id store account) and follow the instructions.
Then your done!
Good luck!

Cannot access iTunes account or App store

I cannot log into my iTunes account or my App store, I keep getting the following error message:
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again"
I have tried all the possible solutions I have been able to find so far but they all involve checking updates etc which I cannot do because I can't access anything.
I have also tried the Keychain thing and that there was nothing there that needed to be amended either - does anyone have any ideas on how to help me please?
Thanks in advance

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Set date and allow cookies. Cannot access iTunes account

Since I have upgraded to iTunes 8.0 I can no longer access my iTunes account.
I get an error "make sure your date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from iTunes store...."
I have reset my tome sync and checked the cookies, everything looks good. This is driving me nuts!
Any ideas? Thanks...

I have a friend with iTunes 8.0.1 who's having the same problem. He can't buy any songs or iPhone apps.
No fix info yet?

Cannot access itunes account with my Macbook pro

Hello.
My macbook pro died recently and I had to reinstall the system. After reinstalling, I upgraded to mavericks. I lost iphoto and could not even access backup (time machine) disk. Anyway, I am able to access my itunes account through the Apps store or Ibooks.
However when I try to access my itunes account/authorise my computer I get the message "We could not complete your itunes request. The itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
Funny because I could access itunes through my ipad and iphone.
Now, I could not sync my phone or ipad with my macbook without deleting their content! I could not even back them up through my macbook without deleting them.
I could not access my last time machine back up before my macbook died.
Any ideas what I could do?

Cannot completed itunes download (network error)

Hi. I have try download itunes 11.01 for 4 times already but as the download nearly complete (83.1/83.1 mb), suddenly it cannot completed its download and it appears that it has network error. What should i do?

Okay.
Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

How to delete my Itunes account for good.

I want to make a new one with the same email, also my current one isn't needed anymore. I backed up everything i bought on a disc for music. Please there gotta be a way to get rid of it due to my friend who used me can't let me to get new stuff. I really really wanna get it over with. :/

You can't delete an iTunes account, all you can do is remove any personal info from and stop using it - any content that you downloaded with the account will remain tied to it, so only that account can authorise its downloads on a new computer, redownload them and/or download updates to its app. You can change the primary email address on it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

Cannot complete iTunes profile

I have an Apple account, but when I try to use iTunes to access the Store, I get this message:
This Apple ID has not been used with the iTunes Store.
Please review your account information
I get to the part where it asks about my county (because my county charges tax I guess) and when I click on "Next" it comes up and says there was a technical difficulty and to try again later. I have been trying for over 3 weeks now, on and off, but same message is displayed. There is no code to it.
Can someone assist me?

Hi,
I've got nearly the same problem.
But after the error message I have to create my iTunes store account again (and again...)
Then I choose my way of paying "Click and Buy" (again and again and...)
Finally I get the message:
One Moment Please. Connecting to the iTunes Store.
Loading
We are unable to find iTunes on your computer.
If iTunes doesn't open, click the iTunes application icon in your Dock or Windows Task Bar."
The same time I get the security message "This page contains secure and unsecure contents. Do you want to show unsecure objects?"
Clicking on "yes", the page returns (again and ...)
Clicking on "no", I see the iTunes error message forever
Is there some help possible?

Cannot complete itunes card transaction

I tried to purchase an iTunes card to send to my niece and it told me that it couldn't complete the transaction and to contact Apple support. Of course, it doesn't help that it doesn't tell you how to contact support except through email and they will (might?) reply in 48 hours to an email request.

Itunes account registration

i register my i-tunes account on my old PC,then it crashed,now i cant register on new PC as it will remove everything from my iphone..any idea how to retrieve my old account?

The iPhone is designed to only sync with one computer.
Syncing with a new/different computer will wipe what is currently on the device and replace the contents with the media and apps from the new computer, there is no way around this. This is what iTunes and iOS are designed to do.
You did move your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer, correct?
If not, here are instructions on how to do so: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
