"Connecting to itunes store..." freez my itunes.
this happens everytime I open itunes. I can't use itunes cause it freezes my itunes leaving it useless. What should I do?
These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
1, if you are getting a message to contact iTunes support then you can do so here and ask them why you are getting it and how to resolve it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
2, if this is happening when you are trying to download updates to apps on your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works. If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and change the date to a few months in the future and then re-trying

I am using a newly purchased Apple TV in a hotel room that has free wi-fi, the Apple TV has detected the network automatically, I am signed in to the Apple iTunes Store, using my Apple ID, and password, but the screen always says "cannot connect to iTunes Store"
Try streaming other content.
If the hotel's network requires login via webpage then it won't actually be connected and you will need to contact the provider to gain access. -

817-999-1812 Joe or Jeana JonesHello, perhaps this may help: http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/2006/03/05/explanation-on-the-502-error-to-de lta-and-sun-sites/ the comments have some specific references to iTunes.
The issue is that it's almost certainly a problem with your firewall/proxy and not iTunes so you might be hard-pressed to find help here as suggesting help for private LAN infrastructure is not the same as suggesting help for iTunes. Usually I'd suggest turning the proxy off and work your way backwards to find out where the problem is but I guess this isn't possible.
Anyway, have a look at the link and see if it helps. -
My Ipad2 has messages in App Store that says I have 22 updates. When I chose to update any of those 22 I receive this message "Cannot Connect to Itunes Store". I am able to make new purchase or free downloads but no updates.
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Hello, I'm trying to install on my Ifhone emoji free, but I get a message saying "Can not connect to itunes store", what can I do?
Restart your modem, router (if you use one), and Mac. Then try again.
If the problem remains, consider http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
(This problem has nothing to do with iSight. Therefore, I have asked
that the Hosts move your topic to iTunes where you may get better help.)

New iPhone will not connect to iTunes Store. Not able to activate
I bought my iPhone 3 weeks ago from an AT&T store and use it everyday. It works fine. I bought one for my wife 2 days ago from the same AT&T store and it does not work. After spending 2 + hours on the phone with Apple level 1 and 2 support, the final diagnosis is a bad sim card. (Apple phone support was very good and very professional) They are in process of sending me a box to mail the iPhone in for service and I am confidant they will fix the problem. I am disappointed, however, the iPhone did not work out of the box and I now have to wait for service on a brand new iPhone.
Has anyone experienced the following problem?
When connected to iTunes, the iPhone is not able to connect to the iTunes store and I receive the following error message, "We could not complete your iTunes request. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active." I was not able to activate it.
The iPhone screen itself shows the iTunes logo and the sync connector. iTunes does not give me the ability to activate the phone nor make any changes to it. iPhone shows up in the device listing, but that is it. There are no settings in iTunes for making changes or setting up the new phone.
When I plug my iPhone into the computer, everything works fine. The new iPhone does not. I tried everything Apple recommended including: Resetting the phone and deleting / reinstalling iTunes, but nothing worked. So, here I am waiting for service on a brand new iPhone that I have paid for and am paying for monthly service, but cannot use. Kind of stinks...
Anyone have a similar problem?2 things
one they will overnight you the box and give you a overnight box to send to them (fedex)
two call them back they will also overnight you a free iPhone loaner for the next few days if you ask -
Server will not connect to itunes, app store, google drive, etc.
MacBook Pro, mid 2012, running Yosemite. I posted here because these problems started after upgrading to Yosemite, so maybe it's specific to that, not sure.
I seem to have a few interlinked problems. I solved a problem with kernel_task taking over 100% CPU usage and preventing an internet connection by getting rid of my Norton/Symantec security suite as well as TunnelBear. However, there seems to be a residual problem, as nothing seems to be connecting to the server.
I can surf the Internet no problem; it's things like iTunes (which crashes every time I try to open it), the App Store (which is a grey slate saying "cannot connect to app store"), and Google Drive (which doesn't sync) that are having connection issues.
I actually first noticed this problem after downloading Pacifist to extract the 'coreaudiod' launch daemon (which got destroyed in one of my previous fixes, long story), but it won't work until I can connect to the App Store and get a Mac OS X installer.
I am self-teaching as I go here, so I don't know much about this (and don't have any Mac tech support where I am unfortunately) and could use the help.

If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.

Re: cant connect to itunes music store
Posted: Jun 19, 2006 7:39 PM in response to: evily
See if this helps in your situation:
OK, all you people all over the world who have been having the same problem as me for weeks, months, a lifetime, here it is! If your warning/error reads "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was refused" and then the BS about checking to make sure your connection is active, well I found something on a forum at Digg.com that with one click WORKED LIKE MAGIC and I'm a happy camper now, rockin to stuff I finally got from the store.
Now before I print the fix, my previous situation was: I could connect to the Apple store site for products, etc. and could check my account, but I could not connect to the music store at all. In every other way, my internet connectivity was flawless. I tried to solve the problem, shut down every firewall or antivirus program I had, searched forums, fiddled with the registry (and THAT was a stupid move!), reinstalled itunes like HOW MANY TIMES, and even finally got a written email reply from iTunes support when I waah.., waah..., waah..ed long enough and they gave an answer that was WORSE than useless. Months passed. So if the above in total or in part describes you, her it is. It's safe and if it doesn't work, you can put things back the way they were without any problem.
This is the quote from the forum at Digg.com that did it for me:
"figured out the problem thanks to Peter on the badapple forums, in his great assistance:
"In your windows\system32\drivers\etc directory there is a file called hosts. Open it in notepad. You will see a line
127.0.0.1 phobos.apple.com
place a # in front of that line so that it looks like this:
#127.0.0.1 phobos.apple.com
and save the file. your problem should be resolved!"
That's it guys and gals. Also you might be sure that the phobos.apple.com domain is specifically allowed by your firewall/A-V software. Let me know if it helped!

Re: "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store"
Posted: Jun 23, 2006 3:48 PM in response to: life4living2 Reply Email
SUCCESS!!! I tried many variations on this and it finally worked. Yes, as life4living says, you have to open the "hosts" file that you can find in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
... use NotePad ...
At the bottom of the file, I found
127.0.0.1 localhost
and nothing about phobos.
AFter many attempts, I changed the end of the HOSTS file to this:
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# 127.0.0.1 phobos.apple.com
and now iTunes music store and podcasts open up just fine.
Strange. The # character means "this is a comment" - so it's basically the same as removing the line completely.
The address 127.0.0.1 means "my machine" and this address is used by other apps such as Google Desktop. Hatching it out, however, does not adversely affect Google Desktop. So basically you have to hatch out any 127.0.0.1 address in the HOSTS file and then iTunes will work!
Try it...
(I did, also, add phobos.apple.com to my "trusted sites" in Internet Explorer settings, but I don't think this was essential.)
After performing the above I found it only worked once after rebooting. I uninstalled Spybot Search and Destroy because it wouldn’t maintain some of the start up settings and cookies were getting nuked by another program I have in start up (Windows Washer).
Some other threads said to check firewall settings. I have free AVG. I went in and okay’d anything to do with iTunes. I also added the iTunes program to the list of approved processes in the AVG list and it seems iTunes is now working! Hope this helps!It's for windows.
1. Press the Start Button in the (default) bottom
left hand corner.
2. Click on "My Computer".
3. Click on (Default) C:.
4. Find "WINDOWS" and open.
5. Find "system 32" and open.
6. Find "drivers" and open.
7. Find "ect" and open.
8. Find "hosts" and open.
9. For a XP, a popup will open and show options to
open it in.
10. Select "Notepad" or "Word" or what ever you use
for writing a document.
11. At the bottom, if it says "127.0.0.1 localhost"
C&P This Over the 127.0.0.1 localhost:
#127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.0.0.1 phobos.apple.com
If it only has 127.0.0.1 phobos.apple.com, add a "#"
at the beginning.
12. Restart your computer.
Hope that helps!

Hello,
i installed a lot of Apps on my iPad (both free and purchased), then a sad day i had to change my apple ID (due to some mistakes in configuring the ipad for my wife with a different apple ID and for icloud...).
Now i have apps with my last apple ID account and apps with my previous one.
When i have to update Apps with my last apple ID, there's no problem, but when i try to update Apps installed with the OLD one a problem occurs and even if i type the right password for it i get always the same message: Impossible to connect to iTunes Store!
Password for old apple ID is correct because i can log on line at account page on https://appleid.apple.com/it/
I read everywhere that having Apps with different account on the same Ipad is allowed, so....What's the Problem??
thank you in advance.
