Error message - Network connection was refused!!!

Every time I try to access iTunes music store I get this error:
"iTunes could nopt connect to the Music Store. The network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network conection is active, then try again."
My network connections are fine, the firewall is ok, all other internet pages work ok. This just started hapenning when I downloaded the newest version 6.0.2.23.
What is the deal here?
Thanks!

I got it to work.
You have to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime and iPod updater.
Then install iTunes 6.0.1 and download the standalone Qucktime. And then download then iPod updater. Then install Quicktime and the updater.

ITunes Store Error Message: "network connection was reset"

I've been having trouble connecting to the iTunes Store since Dec. 25, 2006. The last time I was able to connect to the site was Jan. 2, 2007!
The error message that I have been receiving is: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection was reset."
Here are the troubleshooting issues that I have already performed.
1) Ensured that my internet connection was active.
2) Checked to make sure Windows XP Service Pack Updates were compatible. No problems with the firewall detected.
3) Have the latest version (7.02.16) of iTunes.
4) iPod software is up to date.
5) Ran iTunes diagnostics which states:
Windows Firewall is on.
iTunes is enabled in Windows Firewall.
Connection attempt to Apple web site was unsuccessful.
The network connection was reset.
Connection attempt to iTunes Store was unsuccessful.
The network connection was reset.
Secure connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
Does anyone have this problem? Can anyone recommend a solution that worked for them?

ITMS error "network connection was refused"

Whenever I click the search button to the right of certain songs in my itunes library to send me to their page in the music store, I get an error pop up saying "Network Connection was refused". But I can still enter the music store using the main link in itunes. These songs also won't retrieve their Album art (especially the Comic relief tracks) when I select the option in the menu once they are in my library. This problem only seems to occur with a hand full of songs.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be most appreciated.
Thanks

Network Connection Was Refused - PLEASE help me this time...

To be perfectly honest, I'm quite irritated. I want answers. And if there is no answer, I want someone to tell me such. I've posted three times before, twice on someone else's topic, and once on my own. This is my last ditch effort. PLEASE help me. I really enjoy the use of your product, and I don't want to give up on it.
Many people are having issues with their network connection. I know I'm not the only one. Some diagnostics say the connection to iTunes works, but for some reason still won't open the music store. In my case, it says it isn't.
I went to my parents' house this holiday and stole their broadband high speed internet connection, hoping that the new connection might make iTunes work. Nope. So now I'm fresh out of ideas.
Here is the information I posted on an earlier post below. PLEASE help me answer my question. I'm really missing my iTunes. It's been a long time since I've had it, and there are a bunch of songs I plan to download if I am able to get it back. Thank you so much!
I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, without realizing that there were so many problems with it. The installation went off without a hitch, and it was able to open up my library. However, whenever I try to access the music store, the message "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" appeared. I tried redownloading it, but that didn't solve the problem. I got frustrated, and finally was able to download 7.01. That didn't work either. So I downloaded the older version that I used to have. The same error message appeared. NOW I'm mad, because I can't even get the older version back. I want my older version back... I never had a problem with your products before, but right now I'm slowly losing faith. PLEASE help me.
I can't run a diagnostics on my network connection anymore, but I had posted my first diagnostics on the old post, referencing back to when I was still trying to fix the newest version. I'll post the diagnostics below the post.
I have a wireless connection, since I live in an apartment complex right now. I didn't have the same connection type when I first downloaded iTunes a year or more ago, but I was able to work iTunes under this connection before I uploaded.
Please help me. I want my music store back.

Since I updated to the newest version of iTunes I have had this error message:

Is this most likely a problem with the functioning of my Norton Internet Security 2007 with the new iTunes software?

ITunes could not connect to iTunes Store.The network connection was refused

I'm getting the following error message when I try to access the iTunes store: "iTunes could not connect to iTunes Store. The network connection was refused."
I have tried to change my DNS settings. I've also run the msconig prompt. Nothing seems to work. Do you have any suggestions? Please help. It would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

i have been having this same problem. it also seems like a ton of folks are. i think apple has dropped a huge ball on this one. luckily ther are MANY other places now to purchase music other than itunes. i think their business will fail unless they get on top of issues like this.

ITunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Network Connection was refuse

I'm getting this error which I'm sure that many people are familiar with. "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Network Connection was refused" It was working perfectly fine on 9.1 even with my Norton security on. I upgraded to 9.2 and all of a sudden getting this message. I tried:
- Completely removing and reinstalling iTunes.
- Tried the Terminal solution
- Removed Norton suite
- Checked proxy settings
- Added application to firewall settings to allow incoming connections.
- Ran disk Utility to repair permissions
Still no luck. Any other suggestions that I could try to resolve this pain in a** issue?

Also tried connecting via Ethernet. Still no luck.

I can't connect to the iTunes Store because the network connection was refused.

Can't download software updates in iTunes - error message "network connection timed out"

I'm unable to download software updates for my iTouch 4.1 in iTunes. I have iTunes version 10.5, Windows 7. i've tried numerous times in the past and always get the same error message. I'm now experiencing problems with some of my apps. and I've attempted 4 times in the past 2 days to upload version 5.0. It goes thru the whole download (761.61 MB), says "processing file", then closes out and I get the following message:
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "xxxxx's iPod". The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are current and your network connection is active or try again later. Err = .3529."
I ran diagnostics and it said everything was fine.
Also not all the apps. on my iTouch are in my iTunes library even though I've synced my iTouch numerous times since I've purchased the apps. with my iTouch. All the apps on my 2nd screen are on iTunes, but none of the apps. on my 3rd screen of my iTouch are in iTunes.

Did you check your security software settings? Troubleshooting security software issues
iTunes has to be able to contact Apple during the download of the software and the update process.
