Error message when trying to connect to the itunes store

I have a 4s, and this has just happened when I try to download some free apps.  The error says "this apple id cannot be used for the itunes store.  Please enter another apple ID.  As far as I know, I just have one apple id.  I used the 'find your id' tool, which said that I didn't have an apple ID at all, which I do and can log into for other things, and it works fine.  What has happened and how can I fix it?  Thanks!

This worked for me:

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

    I've had the same problem for a month and yet I still cant get iTunes to work, I've heard different solutions but none have worked for me
    This may or may not work for you but its worth a try even though it didnt seem to work for me, Good Luck!
    Control Panel
    Internet Options
    Connections Tab
    Click LAN Settings
    Uncheck "Use A Proxy Server"

  • I get a connection timed out error when trying to connect to the itunes store, if I have pending downloads they show up and I can download, also I was able to access my account, yet I can't access other parts of the store, I am in greece on a macbook pro

    I am from the states and am in Greece on vacation.  I have a good wifi connection yet keep getting a connection timed out error when I try to access the itunes store.  It is funny because pending downloads show up in the cue, and they download no problem.  I can also open my account.  When I try to go the the movies or music section of the stor though it just times out.  I tried updating to the latest itunes software and restarting, also I checked all the proxy boxes in the network section of the settings then unchecked them all and restarted and it keeps doing the same thing.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Welcome to AD!
    There's been plenty of posts about Norton & the removal tool here. Unfortunately many folks seem to not even know it comes pre-installed on most PCs! Even a trial version, never used or long since expired can cause problems - and not just with iTunes.
    Anyone with a Dell, HP, Gateway EEE PC, Asus ..... what Windows PC manufacturer does NOT have this junk software pre-installed?
    Almost all of them have made deals with Symantec to pre-install it.
    Horrible, horrible software.
    Anyway, glad you finally solved your problem.

  • Why does iTunes stop working when trying to connect to the iTunes Store on PC

    Everytime I try to go into the iTunes Store on my Windows 7 PC I get a popup that says "iTunes has stopped working, Windows will try to find a solution to the problem."
    I wonder why this is happening and I just updated to the new iTunes version about 10 minutes ago (I had this issue with the previous version too.) What do I do?

    I don't believe it's just you. I am having an issue with iTunes myself on both my iMac and MacBook Pro. The iTunes store won't load as far as viewing my account info or trying to download previous purchases.

  • What does the error message -50 mean while trying to connect to the iTunes Store?

    I got this error message while trying to connect to the iTunes Store. -50. Does anyone know what that might mean? For almost two months I have been unable to use my iTunes with my iPod-because my iPod is not being recognized in iTunes. I have done every troubleshooting thing possible-including completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, eight different times. Please help. Super frustrated.

    iTunes: "-50" alert when syncing your iOS device to iTunes 10.3
    iTunes displays -50 error message when syncing iPod on Windows XP
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    Windows Vista:
  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows 7:
  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows XP:
  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
    Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
    If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
    You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
    If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

  • I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the pick a username screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists...." despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
    "How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
    So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.

  • HT4623 I have installed OS6 on my iPhone 4.  A new app is Passbook. When I click on the App Store bar at the bottom of the page a message pops up saying Cannot connect to the iTunes Store.  It shouldn't be trying to connect to the iTunes Store, should it?

    I have installed OS6 on my iPhone 4.  A new App is Passbook. When I click on the App Store bar at the bottom of the Passbook page a message pops up saying Cannot connect to iTunes Store.  That's wrong isn't it? It should not be trying to connect to the iTunes Store but to the App Store?.

    It should be telling you to download the latest iTunes on your computer... you can't install iTunes on your iPhone.
