"could not purchase.the network connection timed out"

this happens every other time i try to download a song off itunes with my gift card.
whats going on?

No, there isn't an 800 number. Close down your iTunes program and restart it. You can also check for purchased music:

  • Could not purchase,  The network connection was reset.

    I am trying to find out basically why the iTunes servers are not functional.   My network connection is working as I can stream Netflix,  play MMOs and be on Ventrilo without any faults for hours.   I just got a complete collection(AC/DC actually.) And I get this error every three to four songs.  I have tried on both my MBP and my Windows 8 machine to download and I constantly get this error. (Win8 box is Hardwired on gigabit ethernet,  CM never loses sync or channel bonding on US or DS.  MBP is on wifi.)  Problem is now itunes also thinks I have things downloaded which I do not because of the connection reset error.   Strangely enough sometimes if I cancel a download it clears up for a moment and downloads a bunch of them.  So it seems to be an icloud issue.
    This never happened pre cloud when iTunes just plain downloaded things,  So actually is there a way to make iTunes download the old fashioned way?

    I have also been trying to download the album from my phone. I will click buy, it will say downloading for a minute, and then the buy button will just reappear. I try to click it again and I get a notice that my account is temporarily unavailable... what is going on??

    I keep getting this error message when I try to log into Itunes, has anyone else seen this error?  If so how did you fix it?

    Have you disabled any firewall and security/antivirus programs?  This seems to have helped the vast majority of people who have posted the same problem in this forum.

    I am having similar issues except that the store starts to load, then stops, then I only get iTunes Store in gray letters on a white screen. I can access playlist and the other stuff. Like flamesgirl, I contacted them and they just keep sending me links of stuff to try which I had already seen on the Apple website and nothing works. I posted the question on another forum I belong to and one responder said her husband was in an Apple store and asked about this problem as he was having the same issue. They said an update would be coming out soon as they were aware of the problem. Who knows.

    Thanks so much for more direction. 
    I realized that I bought this iPod T4 about a year ago, so decided to check the date and it is still under the 1 year ltd. warranty until 21 Dec.  I contacted Apple via Chat and was informed that the problem may lie in the version of iTunes I was running 10.7.  Today Apple released v. 11 of iTunes which I was instructed to download.  It's TOTALLY different from iTunes 10.7 - drastically different in fact. 
    The Apple Chat Rep set up a phone call appointment forl 8:00 pm ET tonight where another Rep will call me to make sure the restore was accomplished OK.  With v. 11 of iTunes I can't even find the restore option!!!  The phone Rep will have to help me navigate v. 11 of iTunes.  It doesn't seem intuitive at all.  Maybe it's just me?!?!
    Thank you for sending this new link for firmware.  It's not clear to me right now whether I'll need it or not.  The phone Rep will probably somehow be able to resolve the problem.  If not, they'll probably send me to the nearest Apple store if the problem is hardware, as it would be covered under the warranty.  I will give another update as to what transpires as a result of the phone call with the Apple Rep.
    Again, thank you so much for helping me.

  • Can not update iphone firmware using iTunes "The network connection timed out"

    Hello,

    Did you make sure it was the exact file for your device and the latest version? I just downloaded the latest file for my iPhone4, put it in the folder I mentioned above and it ran the install versus downloading the file. This problem where it times out after downloading is a big Bug within iTunes that has been there ever since IOS 7.0 was released. I wished these apple developers would just fix iTunes. There are a ton of complaints about this issue. I sure miss Steve Jobs running this business, I really feel like it's gone down hill after he left.
    I hope this helps! 
    Regards.

  • I am unable to connect to the Itune Store, it says the network connection timed out. The internet is working for everything else. Any idea?

    I can no longer connect to the ITunes Store. CAn you help? When I do the diagnostics it says Securie link to itunes store failed.

    I think I may be having the same problem.  "We could not complete your iTunes Store request.  The network connection timed out.  Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again."   All tests pass the diagnostics.  iPhone restored to factory settings in DFU mode, but when beginning to sync I get this error message.  I've been searching online for fixes and tried several suggestions, but nothing worked so far.  (disabled antivirus, firewall, ie settings, uninstall/reinstall itunes...)  I'm getting very frustrated & hoping someone on here can help.

    Hi christeag,
    The only thing I can identify as an issue is that your Windows Firewall is running and iTunes is not enabled in it, so this may be the source of your issue. Here is an article for you that will help you rectify this situation:

    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter, restart PC, open iTunes. Hopefully fixed.

  • 4.2 Update Failure. "The network connection timed out"

    After downloading 4.2 just before installation the error message pops up:
    "The was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "XXX". The network connection timed out.
    Make sure your network setting are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
    This happens on different machines in different locations (IPs).
    What is it and to fix it???

    I have had the same problem trying to update to 4.3 on both my iphone 4 and my kids' ipod touches. The problem seems to come after the huge 400-700MB downloads when itunes extracts the software or verifies the download with Apple. This is what seems to get blocked by the firewall.
    Turning off Kaspersky Internet security for the duration of the software download and update sorted the problem.
    I could not find a different solution. Once it is completed then you can re-enable your security software.
    If you are really paranoid about turning off your security software then I guess you will need to mess around with the firewall settings to allow itunes free access through the firewall but it may take some trial and error.
