ERROR MESSAGE 401 - ITUNES COULD NOT CONNECT TO MUSIC STORE
I've rencently tried to download some tunes from the Music store but keep getting this error message:
"ITUNES COULD NOT CONNECT TO THE MUSIC STORE - AN UNKNOWN ERROR OCCURED (401)"
"MAKE SURE YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION IS ACTIVE & TRY AGAIN"
This message happened before I downloaded the latest version ofITunes & is still happening after the download!
I've checked all possible settings & everything is fine
What is going on????

Problems connecting to the iTunes Music Store usually stem from issues with the Windows firewall, a privacy filter (such as Mcafee) or a download accelerator. Start here:
iTunes for Windows: Overview of Music Store Errors
for some basic tips to start isolating the cause of the problem. Your ISP (or your network administrators if you're on a company network) may have also changed something that is now blocking access.
Hope this helps.

I have a new Ipad air. I have synced it to my PC before. This time I get an error message saying iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device time out - what do I do?
Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -

Sometimes rebooting your PC can clear this error message. You might also want to try plugging the iPod into a different USB port as well.
Others have been able to fix it by unplugging their iPod from their PC, signing out their Apple ID on their iPod Touch, signing back in and reconnecting it.

Hi!
I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now, and I haven't really had any problems since iOS7 was installed. I had a PC, with no connectivity problems between any of my Apple devices. Then FINALLY, I purchased my very first Macbook Air 13". I set it all up, updated all the apps, and made sure it was good to go. My iPhone was really low on battery one day, and I just happened to have my USB for it handy and thought I would just plug it into my computer to charge it. I figured I worry about syncing it later as I hadn't really had time to set it all up with iTunes on the new computer.
MY PHONE WENT CRAZY. It just started vibrating all over the table. Looking at the battery icon, it was flipping between charging and not charging, and occasionally the "do you trust this device" window would pop up on the screen, but it was still going crazy. iTunes opened up and these alerts saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device." and "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." All it was doing at this point was using up even more battery. But then the iPhoto app opened by itself on my shiny new Macbook and the vibrating stopped. It was charging and syncing! But not having iPhotos before on a computer weirded me out i hadn't decided exactly what I wanted to do with it, I closed the app. The phone went nuts again. ***. On a different day, I was trying to sync it again, and it worked. But only long enough to back it up on the macbook. W.T.F.
Plugging into any PC is no problem at all. The phone just connects and starts charging.
I've tried just about everything. All of my software is up to date, both on the mac and iphone. The USB cord is fine. I've reset the macbook with it plugged in and not plugged in. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled iTunes with the phone plugged in and not plugged in. I've reset all the contents and settings on my iPhone, as well as did a hard reset with it plugged in and not plugged in. My iPad has no problem connecting and it also has iOS7. It's just so weird though, that it starts connecting/disconnecting interchangeably as soon as I plug it into the computer, even when all my apps are closed. All this is leading me to believe that it must be some sort of issue between the devices' communication to each other. But I'm not sure if it's an iPhone, MacBook, or iTunes issue!
HHHHEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!I had this same problem with my new MBP 15", but only with the USB port on the left side. The USB port on the right side worked fine. Perhaps the ports on the left don't have enough signal energy for the iPhone.
Anyway, try using a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, perhaps you could try a powered USB hub. -
ITunes could not connect to Music Store
Okay here's my problem: When I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, it wouldn't open after the download was complete. So I went into the discussion about iTunes not opening and found this msconfig thing that you could do in order to make your computer start up differently. It told me to go to Start, click on Run. Then type in msconfig and hit enter. And after that I needed to change the startup selection to 'selective startup' and deselect 'load startup items'. Then I was supposed to go to the Startup tab and select only qttask and iTunesHelper. Next it told me to go to the Services tab and make sure that 'Hide all Microsoft Services' was selected. And Disable All. Then it told me to select iPodService. Then click okay and restart my computer. Now after I did all of this, iTunes opened. But when I tried to play my purchased music it gave me a message that said 'This computer is not authorized to play '_' (it said the name of the song here). Would you like to authorize it?'. And below there it had a space for me to type in my password, but my Apple ID was already typed in for me. So I did it correctly and typed in my password and clicked on Authorize....then I got an error message that said 'iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was refused'. I just figured that I typed in my password wrong and clicked on the purchased song again but this time I clicked on forgot password, but then got the same error message. It's been a difficult for the past few weeks not being able to listen to my favorite music. Could someone please help me, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now. I tried calling Apple Support, but since you are only able to use it for 90 days, they wouldn't help me. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Hi, I get the same error when I try to connect to Music Store or even get the songs info from my original Cd's, like song info and album art, it shows:
iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was refused.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.
I did try everything, I checked the windows firewall, the antivirus program's firewall, the LAN's router configuration and in all of them Itunes and all the Ipod related programs have permission but it still can not connect to the music store. Is there any way to solve this?
Thank you

ITunes could not connect to Music Store. The network connection was reset.
For 3 days now i've been unable to connect to iTunes music store, every time with the same error message (above). Yes I'm connected to the internet, no I do not have this problem with any other software/site.
I miss my music ;(

I now wonder if limewire may be the problem, even though it is 'listening' currently on port 33782 which is nowhere near to iTunes or anything else for OS X. Why? Because up until today, I could only connect to limewire during the daytime - evenings and weekends it wouldn't connect and discussion forums suggest that tiscali (my ISP) is one of the worst offenders for blocking UDP traffic at peak times and may be specifically targeting limewire. Today, when I have had the problem with iTunes Music Store, I have been able to connect to limewire all day and all evening, no problems.
However the problem with this theory is that when I could connect previously to limewire only during the day, I could still connect to the Music Store as well at the same time. So it may be irrelevant.
I have checked everything else from the article - the discussion boards, keychain access, firewall, it all checks out. So if anyone has any ideas about this, I'd be very happy.

ITunes could not connect to music store. An Unknown error has occurred.
I get the above message when I try to log into the ITune store. The error code that I get is -9813. My password is current and my account is current and I followed all of the other suggestions such as:
1. Resetting the date and clock on the computer.
2. I replaced the mother board battery so I won't be affected by the above problem.
3. Unplug the modem and the router then start the computer back up to make sure that there are no problems with these two items.
4. I am running the latest version of iTunes 6.0.5
5. I can log in from another MAC (power book) using my account so it isn't the ISP blocking me from phobos.apple.com
So far this has been happening for a few days and is very frustrating. Any ideas will be appreciated. I will also check with the Genius bar at the local apple store to see if they have any ideas.

I installed itunes 10.5 in my PC to sync with my ipod touch $G but it's giving me error message that itunes could not connect to itunes store..."make sure network is active and try again." I'm connected to internet though so I don't understand please help!
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Can somebody help me in finding a solution or an explanation to the problem I am currently experiencing as well as others wherein we cannot connect to the iTunes store. An error message appears and either says "iTunes could not connect to the store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004). Make sure your network connection is active and try again" or "iTunes could not connect to the store.Make sure your network connection is active and try again." Despite the fact that my network connection is working quite fine, this problem still persists. I can say that my connection is fine because I can surf the internet and furthermore, I used to connect to the iTunes store just before this incident happened which started from April 17, 2014 and persists until today. I tried to solve the problem by following the troubleshoot procedures given in the support section of this site but it really did not solve the problem. I believe that others are experiencing this situation as well very similar to mine when it comes to the time of occurrence as I have read in the discussions in this site. Even though we have different network connections, operating systems and other specifications, we still experience the same problem, so is there really a problem with our computers or is it with the iTunes? And by the way, my computer works under Windows XP. Thanks a lot. God bless.
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.

Hi
i want to install an mail Id on Ipad Mini other than yahoo an google but it is showing an error message about SSL could not connect. Please give me the solution on this.Hello there ypda75,
I have an article here that has a list of settings to get from your Email provider so you can make sure that the settings are correct. It has troubleshooting steps to try as well. Also I would recommend restarting the router, and/or testing a differnet network.
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
All the very best,
Sterling
