Error -6753 Make sure your internet connection is valid and try again. Help
So I just dropped nearly $200 on an airport extreme to throw my desktop PC and wireless mac into a network (since my router just gave out). I had a hard time connecting to the internet, and then magically I got the internet working, but when I open airport utility to configure security settings or update firmware I get:
"An error occurred while trying to access the base station. Make sure your internet connection is valid and try again. Error -6753"
How do I get rid of this? Any suggestions
Error -4 is almost always an indication that the connection between the AirPort Utility application and the AirPort router is is being blocked by....
1) The Windows Firewall
2) Microsoft Security Essentials...if installed on your PC
3) The anti-virus software
4) 1&2, or 2&3, or 1&3, or all of the above
When I used to use a PC, the only way that I could ever get the AirPort setup was to turn off all of the items above, configure the AirPort, then turn everything back on again.
Life would be tons easier if you had an iPhone or iPad to configure the AirPort Extreme, or you could borrow a Mac for a few minutes.

iTunes RADIO is not working.
“iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.” Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so …
iTunes STORE not “connectable” with my otherwise perfectly-working internet connection, viable, up and running for all other uses.
Simply put, firstly, I can't connect to the internet when I click on Radio. People are quite suspicious that this is Apple incompetence or your company's famous arrogance for this commonly-suffered problem that you won't or “can’t” fix.
Read the many web comments and you won’t be pleased with yourselves: the suspicion is that if you ruin internet radio on iTunes, Apple will somehow make more money on music downloads, etc. Bull.
Also, thirdly, my old playlist of 20 or so internet radio stations in the Ambient category STILL PLAYS !
Then fourth, I installed the latest available version of QuickTime Player 7.app Version 7.6.6 but it didn’t solve the problem either. I had QuickTime Player.app Version 10.2, but substituted what Apple website said was the latest, LOWER NUMBERED QuickTime Player version of 7.6.6
Fifth, I can't connect to iTunes store no matter what I do or what user group's advice I try. So I can’t buy or download anything from iTunes. Bad for business.
Sixth, I updated to the latest version of iTunes but this weird problem remains. All suggested Apple fixes or user group fixes are useless. Where is Apple’s famous technical competency, vaunted customer support?, and user-friendly product reputation? Get it back, please.
Solve this problem of yours ASAP for us, your numerous disgruntled, dissatisfied customers of iTunes. You can do better, should, and really –in all fairness- must.

NOTE: no password for iTunes exists in my Keychain. Is this a problem?
Apple ACCOUNT ID, and iTunes ID password, works but not to access iTunes with my healthy internet connection.
Apple store id It works via direct internet connetion but not through iTunes. Very strange.

Since I upgraded my anti-virus software to Trend Micro 2013, I now get this error message:
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
My internet connection is working fine. I suspect it is related to my anti-virus upgrade.
Any ideas?Definitely try disabling anti virus software then try iTunes.

I am running Windows 7 (64bit) , and an error message appears following a recent update to iTunes v 11.1.2: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occured (-3212). Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have dug a little bit into possible problems but haven't found a solution yet, one note is that the network connection is OK. A response would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Try opening an elevated command prompt by going to the start screen, then typing "CMD" without quotes and pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER. It will ask you if you want to allow it to make changes, click yes.
Then, while in the command prompt, you need to type "netsh winsock reset". You type this without the quotes. Make SURE you are in an elevated command prompt window before trying this. If you don't know what that means, search google for "elevated command prompt". -
