Error 3253 when using Itunes store

I keep getting error 3253 when I am trying to download from the itunes store. I have restarted itunes/my computer/my router to try to get this to work, but no dice. Podcasts are downloading fine, the internet is otherwise working fine. I also made sure my itunes was up to date and even reinstalled it just to make sure. Is something wrong with the store? It seems to be the only thing that is giving me issues. Thanks for any help.

Update: still not working. I thought maybe it was an issue with this certain show (Big Love - Season 2), so I tried buying one episode of Fringe (another show I would like to get into) and the same problem continues. Finally, I bought one song to see if it was a file size/type issue, but nope. Can anyone please help me? This is really irritating... Will they still charge me for these even though I cannot download them?

On a Mac, receiving the -9812 error message when using iTunes

I have a friend with an iMac that is running OS 10.5.7 and iTunes 8.2 (23). When she tries to either order a song, select the Account link or the Buy iTunes Gifts link an error message "-9812 there is a problem with the iTunes store, please check back later." appears on screen. Another Mac (Mac mini) on the network has no problems connecting and purchasing music via iTunes. There are no firewalls setup on the machine that is having issues. The system firewall is setup to allow iTunes incoming connections.
Thanks for your help,
David

Error -50 when starting iTunes Store

I'm running the newest version of iTunes on a Windows XP machine and iTunes itself seems to work, but evertime I hit the iTunes Store button on the left side I get an error message stating 'We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50).

Just in case, even though you're running a newer version of iTunes, let's try the following document:

Error -9813 when accessing itunes store

I get an error message when I try to access itunes store and I can't find any info about this error message -9813?

All
I have been having issues connecting to the iTunes store for over a week now , Error code -50 and some error message in spanish , after some messing about i renamed all itunesprefs files to iTunesprefs.old main one located "C:\Documents and Settings\Account name\Local Settings\Application Data". this makes itunes reset all it prefs but does not delete any music or vids . i then restarted itunes and bobs your uncle straight in and working again .
in summary :
rename all iTunesprefs files either xml or other
remane them to .old so you have them if you need to go back
restart itunes or reboot
itunes will think your a new user but does not require a re sync
and should be fixed
i am not responsible for any errors you create by messing it up.
it has worked for me on Win xp pro ver9 (latest version) itunes .
remember error lies between keyboard and seat !!

How do I disable pop-up blocker when using iTunes Store

My iTunes Store within iTunes does not open. iTunes support suggests that a pop-up blocker is stopping the iTunes Store from opening. How can I check to see if a pop-up blocker is causing this problem?

Set that domain as '''Allowed'''. <br />

Error 306 when accessing itunes store

I am unable to access the store. One day it worked, the next it didn't.
I have tried to log on using another log on, same problem. I next downloaded the current version and it still gives me the error message 306, the connection timed out. It usually gets about half way before it stops.
Thanks

Windows Error Msg when using Itunes - "There is no disk in the drive. "

Hi there -
Desperately seeking help before I lose my mind !
Whenever I try to do anything in iTunes I get the Windows windows error message "WINDOWS - NO DISK. There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive ." with the options to either CANCEL, TRY AGAIN or CONTINUE.
Regardless of which of the options I select, the error message re-appears & will not close.
I try CTRLALTDEL but I get the message Itunes is "not responding".
I have tried:
- Updating iTunes software
- Making sure I have the latest Windows Updates
- Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes
- Selective start-up where I disable all applications which might be clashing with iTunes
- clearing the menu in QuickTime
None of these work
Any ideas ?
Thanks -

I am wondering if you ever got this problem straightened out, or if anyone else knows the solution to this problem. I am receiving the exact same message as you talk about receiving here:
"WINDOWS - NO DISK. There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive ."
No drive is listed, just a "."
I also have tried uninstalling and resinstalling iTunes many times. Not only that, but I thought it might be a virus problem of some kind, so I totally resintalled my Windows XP system. All to no avail. Even on my newly installed system I am having this problem in iTunes.
I have found that if I hit Cancel about 80 times (literally), iTunes will finally load. But it is crazy that anyone should have to go throug this each time he loads the iTunes program.
Someone posted a link to a Microsoft fix for a similar problem, but I was unable to understand the fix, and the problem listed in the fix did not seem to correspond with the problem we're having.
If anyone knows the solution to this problem and is able to give instructions for the solution, I would really appreciate it! I would just use an alternative mp3 player to iTunes at this point if I could, but that isn't really feasible since I have an iPod.

Disk Error Message When Using Itunes

Please help! Whenever I try to start up itunes a box
comes up and says:
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk
into drive\Device\Harddisk\DR3
I have tried updating my itunes and ipod, but nothing
has gotten rid of this box. When the box is up it
freezes itunes and I cannot do anything but end the
task.

I am having the EXACT same problem since I installed the update to itunes and tried to use my existing data on a new computer since my old one took a crap. An answer to this would be nice. I can't find anything.

"Disk burner or Software not found" error message when using iTunes

My g/f has Vista 64-bit. iTunes used to work until we installed Nero. Granted it's more then likely Neros fault since it went ape** with the registry files but has anyone else lost iTunes burnability after installing Nero?

I seem to be suffering from this very same predicament. And it is really giving me the *****. I installed a new DVD drive that came with the latest version of nero but, I'm not sure that is the problem. When i hit the advanced tab in the preferences and go to burning, it still registers the old CD burner. This seems to be the one feature that can't be changed in that window. Every other burning program on my computer doesn't seem to have a problem. It's just itunes. I want to be able to burn discs from itunes but I can't. Can one of you brainiacs out there in cyber space tell me how to sort this out.

TS1368 I keep getting runtime error r6025 when searching itunes store

I have tried reinstalling latest download but just get runtime error r6025 and itunes then shuts down

Hi i had that too, dont know why. all i did to fix it was go into control panel, then uninstall programs, then found Itunes on the list. i clicked to uninstall and it then gives you a choice, to uninstall or to change, or to repair. i chose repair and it fired up itunes and repaired it, that was that and it works fine now, try it, good luck.

Security confirmation error message when using app store

I just bought both of my kids ipads, when I try to purchase an app from the app store it provides me a security challenge asking me what the first car I owned was and what the first concert I attended was. I didn't remember the answers to these questions, so I logged into my account on the apple website from my pc and created new questions and new answers. However, whenever I try to download from the ipads now, it shows the same questions, even though I have changed my security questions in my preferences to questions other than those. Thus, I cannot purchase any apps for my kids. I've tried powering the ipads down, but that didn't help. I'm not sure what other troubleshooting to try.
Please help.
Thanks

Try go to Settings>Store and sign out and then sign back in.

I live in Iran
Yesterday I wanted to use iTunes store for windows ; when i have open iTunes it gives me the error 0x80090318 .
I have search the web alot and i have check lots of Iranian and English website but have not find any solution for
this problem . Today I have find a software called "Hide my IP" i have opened up that
when this software was opened , itunes have said "iTunes can't verify the identify of the server "init.itunes.apple.com"".
then i have click on "continue" then iTunes said "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (310)."
And theres a matter that i think that have a connection with this topic and thats , that when i want to go to the lots
of websites like Google Yahoo! Mail and lots of other website my both browser ( FireFox and IE ) will say" This connection is untrusted " .
I think the solution of my second problem is the solution of my first problem too !

Tried all the rest on this site did not work for me
Follow the link below & this one sorted it for me, it was a conflict in programs using Winsock & I got rid of my old program,
Sorted.
