Could not complete your itunes store request. unknown error occurred (-4)

I synced my iPhone to my Macbook for the first time. When I connected the phone, iTunes opened and prompted me to login. I entered my Apple ID and password. Then, I synced my contacts and music to my phone.
Afterwards, I disconnected my phone from the computer and tried to download a free app. My phone prompted me to enter my apple username and password. I tried entering my Apple ID and password but access failed. So my first question is, is the Apple ID the same thing as an Apple account? Can I use it to login and download apps on iTunes?
Secondly, I tried creating an account on iTunes by selecting the button and an error message popped up. It said
'we could not complete your itunes store request. an unknown error occurred (-4). There was an error in the itunes store. please try again later.'
I'd love some help on this so I can start using my new phone =)

I found out how to sign up!

I can play music, sync, burn CDs, but I can not buy music OR edit any of my account details without getting this message.
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
I have had this problem for a year now. I download and upgrade to each new version of iTunes has this same problem. (Currently I have version 11).
Apple Support's response to my email quick, but really pretty lame. They just told me to browse these support forums.
I have tried all the many suggestions. NOTHING works.
There must be some way to fix this? So many users are having this problem.
I am on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
HELP!!!
Please.

I'm having the same problem. It seems to only show up when searching. Any one know a fix?

I have been on the phone with Apple since 12/25/11, They have finally sent a diagnostics from my computer to the engineers of Apple because my 64 bit Dell desktop is missing Hosts a component that is vital to downloading the new version of Itunes.

I continue to receive message that "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (4002). Please try again later." This has been happening every time iTunes Match runs in background. Any suggestions for a cure?

Hi All,
I had this problem today myself, and was frustrated repeatedly by the '4002' error.
I have literally just fixed the issue by doing the following steps:
1: Go to the 'Store' tab and select 'Turn Off iTunes Match'
2: Return to the 'Store' tab and select 'Update Genius'
3: Wait for this to complete succesfully, the return to the 'Store' tab once more and select 'Turn On iTunes Match'.
4: iTunes Match will now go through the motions and should succeed!
I hope this helps

ITunes Store error msg: We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50).

So I began having trouble connecting to the iTunes store with my computer about a month ago. It was working fine, I purchased and downloaded some music, and then the next day I got this message when I clicked on the iTunes Store: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
Some basic facts about my computer:
Mac OS X 10.7.3, purchased in May '12.
iTunes is updated to the latest 10.6.3 version.
I have Sophos Anti-Virus (newly installed in the last two weeks).
No firewalls are set up.
Parental controls are not blocking anything (don't have them set up).
Internet connection is fine, no matter how I connect.
I did have an older version of iTunes (the previous version, so it wasn't that old) when the problem began, so I updated to the newest version hoping it would fix it; but it hasn't. I have checked the firewalls per apple community posts. I have checked the network connection. I only just put on an Anti-Virus (and the problem was pre-AV, so it shouldn't be that). I FINALLY figured out how to uninstall iTunes, and then I reinstalled it. The store still won't open, giving me the same message.
A little more research seems to show that the (-50) error is when it times out? But the message appears barely half a second after I click on the iTunes Store icon. It doesn't seem to even try; there isn't enough time to warrant a 'timing out'.
I am at a loss. At this point I am considering taking my computer in and telling them 'fix it, no matter what', but if I can avoid the hassle of being without my one and only computer for at LEAST a week, that would be great.
Does anyone have any ideas?!
Thank you and God bless!
Mary
