Cannot connect to music store. The network connection was reset.

ran diagnostic. Tried everything. Please help.

I had a similar problem. I can't access iTunes, but my co-worker (using the same network) can. Moving my preferences out of ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes* and attempting to set up the account again doesn't help. The Keychain tool says nothing is wrong. It turned out I had two problems:
- I had a proxy setting to use a "proxy.pac" file. It turned out this proxy.pac file basically had "Go Direct" in it. Safari, etc, handled this correctly, and iTunes used to, but it stopped working in a recent upgrade (I think around MacOSX 10.5.3.)
- Turn IPv6 support off from the "Advanced" setting in the Network panel of System Preferences.
It tried with both of these individually and it didn't help, I had to do both to make iTunes work again.
The reference to the proxy.pac file I'd had there for a year and a half. We do have functioning IPv6 in the office, and our ISP has other IPv6 customers, but external IPv6 connectivity is a bit spotty to say the least. I suspect the problem only applies to those who have local but not global IPv6 connectivity.
One wonders if the person who said it occurred after a network upgrade, was due to their ISP now supported IPv6 and triggering this problem?

  • ITunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network conn. was reset.

    I began receiving this message about 30 hours ago. I can still "Refresh" and get new podcasts for series I've subscribed for.
    I've:
    1) Re-installed iTunes
    2) Made certain iTunes is included in the firewall exemption
    What next? Any advise?

  • Cannot connect to the iTunes store. The network connection was reset.

    My iTunes has been messed up since August 17th. I am getting the error message; "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I am having no issues connecting to the internet or even receiving my podcasts. It just won't download my TV shows or let me shop. I have contacted Hewlett Pack. about this and iTunes/apple. No one seems to have an answer for me. I have disabled my firewalls, norton, done msconfig, allowed iTunes, everything. I am very frustrated and so are others that seem to be having this same problem. We need a genius!! Please help!

    I suspect a location-driven problem here. I live in SHanghai, China - as does the poster above! I have this problem on three different computers using three different ISPs.
    Anybody got a suggestion? Tried firewalls, turning off virus production, reinstalling iTunes, putting phobos.apple.com and such in the permitted list, all sorts of stuff, to no avail. And Apple help support just bounces me around - I've interacted via email with three people, finally graduated to a real person, and they sent me back to email when the usual "reboot your machine and reinstall iTunes, then turn off virus protection" didn't work.

    Try temporarily disabling your firewall and see if you are then able to access the iTunes store.

  • Error message we could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active

    Can Anyone help with this message which occurs when I am trying to update my iMatch, it says "gathering information about your library" & then after a few mins when the progress band gets almost to the end, I get the message "we could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active & try again"
    Support has told me that its a problem with my connection, but I disagree, how come I can download countless songs from iTunes without ever getting this message, I think they are bullsh***g me to get rid of me.
    I have even followed their advice & totally disabled all my antivirus, adwatch & firewall software & it still does it.
    Can anyone help with this

    Hi mate, well I really dont know why but last night it started to work out of the blue, you might want to check yours again as they may have fixed a bug??
    I did absoultely nothing different yesterday to make it start working, I had previously disabled all my antivirus, firewall, anti tracker etc etc & it didnt sort it.
    The only thing that happened yesterday was my laptop went dead flat & I had to a reboot (dont choose System Resume, which I normally do) I chose the other option in error & had to wait nearly an hour whilst my PC "repaired files etc" & it also downloaded a load of updates (had that message "dont power off, as updates are in progress")
    I really dont know if that sorted the issue or Apple fixed the bug yesterday but its working.
    Good luck

    I have just phoned Tiscali and given them a piece of my mind. They initially lied to me and said it was not their problem. However after I mentioned all the messages posted on Apple and Tiscali website about this problem of not being able to connect to the itunes store - they backed down and admitted they were having technical issues. They said their engineers were working on the problem - however they failed to confirm when it would be fixed. I threatened to change ISP provider and Suraj agreed that was the best alternative for me. I said "You said it" and hung up. I am so cross with Tiscali as I have turned my computer upside down over the last 6 weeks trying to solve the problem only to find out it was Tiscali preventing users from logging into Itunes.
