Connecting Window iTunes Store appears after every single search character
Hi Community,
if I use the search in iTunes 10.3.x Store, after tipping a single character always a separate window appears with the message "connecting to the store" - the window appear after every single character of a search e.g. "Madonna" and it will lasts minutes to get a result!
It looks like here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1426841/itunes.png
Did anyone have a idea what to do?
I've just tried following steps:
clear iTunes caches
delete iTunes plist's
delete and reinstall iTunes
perform pram reset
latest iTunes updates
Nothing helps at all to cover this problem!
This problem exits since a few month (starting with iTunes 10.2.x), just starts from one day to another without any change at the OS.
Thanx in advance for any helpful ideas ;-)
Try clicking Store>Authorize This Computer in iTunes.
If that doesn't take care of it, take a look at this Apple document -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297.
WTH.

Restart the iPad, Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Sign in again - Settings>Store>Sign in.

EI everytime I try to buy a pack off of games of war an error appears saying it cannot connect to iTunes stite! Please I need help
Hey there julyduque,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the issue connecting to the iTunes Store on your iPhone 5s when trying to make in-app purchases.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, try updating your payment information as suggested in this article:

If you can't make an in-app purchase, try updating your payment information.

Keeps giving me the notification "Connecting to ITunes store"
Everytime I open ITunes Store, it loads normally.
But from the moment when I try to type in a word to search for a song...
With every letter I type, the message "Connecting to ITunes store" appears.
Next letter "Connecting to ITunes store"....
So it takes a lot of time to enter 1 word...
What's the reason for this or what I can I do about it to make ITunes work perfectly like it used to...?Try going to Settings > Date and Time > Disable Set Automatically and set the date 2 years into the future.
Try again.
Either way if it works or doesn't work go back and Enable Set Automatically and try again, it should work at this point. -
I have proble of "cannot connect to itunes store. After I have updated the new software ios6, the problem arised in one of my mobile. In the second mobile, I didnot updated the software.Today in the morning, the problem ariesed in that mobile as well. I cannot open the itunes, don't have access to apple store . I tried to solve the problem like going to setting, general, Date and time, automatically off, keeping one year ahead date. I tried all the possible options I could get from the googel. How do I get rid of this problem?
No - I have not tried other routers on my network.
What I meant was I could use my itouch on other users wireless networks without any issues.
I'll update the routers DNS to try using Google's 8.8.8.8 instead of my ISP.
Is the issue DNS performance using local ISP -or are there other possibel isues when using local isp DNS? -
"Cannot connect to iTunes Store" when access from Video/Music
When I open "Video" or "Music" app and try to access iTunes Store from inside the app, the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" appears. I have access to internet and still can download applications from app store. Please help me fix this. Thank you.
Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
In the meantime ...........

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

ITunes 10.5 for Windows 7 not connecting to iTunes store.
I updated to iTunes 10.5 today hoping that Apple fixed the connection problems which came with previous versions of iTunes for Windows. Unfortunately I was wrong. After installing 10.5, I cannot connect to the iTunes store...again. The progress bar at the top locks (along with the message "Accessing iTunes Store") and after 30 seconds all I get is a blank page. This is exactly what has happed in the last couple of versions of iTunes for Windows. I tried some of the 'netsh' fixes seen on other posts and this did not solve the issue. I also tried unistalling the specific AppleApplicationSupport software (in this case 2.1.5) and re-installing the 1.5.2 version (which fixed the connection problems on the previous version of iTunes) as seen on other posts but doing this will not work either. Any suggestions out there?
since other people aren't having this same issue you need to try troubleshooting your own machine and network connections to fix this, it's most likely not due to apple software.
Reconfigure any security software to allow Apple's servers to pass.
Useful information for configuring your security software:
IMPORTANT: iTunes must be allowed to contact Apple using the following ports and servers:
▪ port 80
▪ port 443
▪ phobos.apple.com, deimos3.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, ax.itunes.apple.com, ax.init.itunes.apple.com, ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
iTunes also contacts VeriSign servers during an iPhone restore and activation:
▪ evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
▪ evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
For more information see Update and restore alert messages on iPhone and iPod touch
Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software
If the current available version of your security software is incompatible with iTunes, you can disable the security software and test if it is the source of the issue. It might also be necessary to temporarily uninstall security software after making sure you can reinstall it and note any required licenses. A temporary deinstallation might be required because parts of some security software remain active in the background though they appear to be deactivated.
To reduce any security risks that security software is designed to prevent, consider making sure all files needed to reinstall it are available and disconnect network connections before uninstalling security software. Should this not be possible, such as if a download without active security software is required, that required step should be the only process completed without security software. For assistance in checking your configuration, disabling, or uninstalling your security software, please contact the manufacturer.
Once disabled or uninstalled, perform only the steps required to verify your issue has been resolved. Complete whatever update, restore, syncing, back up, activation, or other task you were troubleshooting. Once that task is complete, install and configure compatible security software to ensure your PC is protected.
If it isn't a program or software on the computer contact your Internet Service Provider and/or Router Company to configure or disable the firewall in the router settings.
To isolate the issue to this you can also try disconnecting the router and plugging your computer directly in to the modem but this does not help for troubleshooting time-out issues directly on any apple mobile devices only if you are syncing or going through iTunes on the computer. -

Hello i'm facing problem i downloaded itunes version 11 32bit for windows 7 and after i installing the set up when i opened the iTunes a massages occur saying i tunes could not connect to iTunes store an unknown error occurred (-3212) even though my internet is on
Try this...
Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
cmd /k netsh winsock reset
Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
You should get something similar to this:
Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

Cannot connect to itunes store before and after update ios 8.2, What can i do ?
I updated to iOS 8.2 about 2 hours age and I get an error saying "cannot connect to iTunes Store" every time I try to update existing apps or download new apps. I restarted my phone, disconnected from wifi, reconnected to wifi...nothing is working. Under iTunes & App Store settings, I signed out and now get the "cannot connect to iTunes Store" message when trying to sign back in. I know my Apple ID and password are correct.
Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
Do not change your settings. -
Cannot connect to iTunes store on my Windows 7 computer
iTunes 9 worked fine on my system but ever since version 10 was introduced I haven't been able to connect to iTunes store from my computer. The screen remains blank. Diagnostics show everything is ok and I can download applications and sync my iPad but not access the store.
How to get iTunes Store to Work with Windows 7
First, Remove all iTunes and supporting software – and all “remnants” using Revo Uninstaller. Ensure you set Revo Uninstaller on its “Advanced” setting. You should be able to download a Revo trial software version at no cost. Recommend one follow the directions posted at this website: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
The goal/intent of these directions/procedures is to ensure complete removal of all iTunes and its supporting software. Make sure you get all of it, or you will end up repeating this lengthy procedure.
Next, before reinstalling iTunes:
Start-> Programs -> Accessories -> (Right Click On Command Prompt) ->Run the Command Prompt as Administrator then type in:
netsh winsock reset, hit enter, restart PC.
After this procedure, then reload the latest version of iTunes Software and see if you can access the iTunes Store.
If the iTunes Store does not open or completely open after installation, then run this procedure:
Start-> Programs -> Accessories -> (Right Click On Command Prompt) ->Run the Command Prompt as Administrator then type in:
netsh winsock reset, hit enter, restart PC, open iTunes… then open iTunes Store (yes, this is a repeat of the command line you ran prior to installation).
After this procedure, you may find the iTunes Store’s “initial page” will open. However, you may not be able to access any music within the iTunes store… Ensure you are logged in with your name and password…
Once you know you are logged in with your name and password, then:
On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return on the keyboard.
You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
But wait, there’s more! Now you need to go to the “Edit Button” of iTunes and select “Parental”. Under “Parental”, check “Allow access to iTunes u” and then ensure iTunes Store is “unchecked”, then press “OK” to ensure this configuration “takes”. Then, stop and restart iTunes. You should now have a smooth running version of iTunes with full access to the iTunes store. If not, then please modify these directions for those requiring a solid solution. Thanks -
