Error msg itunes store request timed out

i keep getting the msg "we could not complete your itunes store request. the request timed out. there was an error in the itunes store. please try again later" what is going on that i can no longer access itunes store??

I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried emailing Itunes support and they are morons. They completely fail to address teh problem. I emailed them reminding them that my computer far exceeds their requirements and that I don't have any other programs running but I haven't heard back yet. I'm planning to challenge the charge on my credit card. I will never purchase anything from Itunes again.
Here is what they suggest:
1) To use iTunes, your PC must meet the Windows system requirements listed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
(Note that installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account waiting to be downloaded.)
2) Quit as many other open applications as you can before playing videos in iTunes.
3) Wait for all iTunes Store purchases to finish downloading before playing videos.
4) Disable all non-Microsoft startup programs and services

  • ITunes store keeps timing out!

    This is a new issue. My internet is blazing fast but I can't do anything on iTunes Store without timing out. It will load most of the page but shows broken links for images and any further requests give me a 'timed out' error.

    Cable internet into Airport Extreme cabled to 20" iMac.
    OS X 10.5.7 iTunes 8.2.1
    I can sync with my iPhone, and iPod. I have no other issues with the function of the program. It doesn't crash at all.
    BUT, ... when I click on iTunes store in the left pane, I get nothing, ... nothing, ... nothing, ... then sometimes iTunes will display most of the 'home' page. It will display a broken link instead of images, and it takes minutes to get that far.
    The MacBook on the same network (with a different iTunes account) has the exact same issue.
    My internet otherwise works perfectly. pages load very quickly in Safari and Firefox, Mail works great, Battlefield 2142 is running perfect, even Azureus is all green lights.
    Before anyone suggests the obvious, I have tried restarting the computer and running ONLY iTunes, ... only to experience the exact same problem.
    note about an hour ago I thought the problem went away. I was clicking through iTunes like normal, ... but only for about 3 minutes, then nothing, ... nothing, ... nothing.
    Aaarrgghhh!!!

  • Cannot access iTunes Store - "connection timed out" or "secure connection failed" issues.

    If you are having problems connecting to the iTunes Store to:
    (a)     activate a new iPod, iPhone or iPad; or
    (b)     re-activate an existing iPod. iPhone or iPad after upgrading the OS for the device,
    then hopefully this article will assist.
    It is assumed that have encountered the following problem. When you connect your device to your PC the device is recognised by iTunes, but the main window simply displays the name of the device (e.g. iPad). The progress bar at the top says "accessing the iTunes Store", but it stalls and eventually there is an error message saying something like "connection timed out".
    There are a number of variants of this problem, but the common thread is that your device is unable to access the iTunes Store to authenticate a new device or after upgrading the OS on an existing device.The first recaction is to check that your Internet connection is ok and that that "itunes.exe" a not being blocked by your Windows or third party firewall settings, but the problem persists.
    Having recently experienced this problem and scouring the Internet for a solution, I eventually solved it using the following approach:
    (a)     Check that you are connected to the Internet (i.e can browse the web).
    (b)     Open iTunes and choose "Run diagnostics" from the help menu and then select the "networking connectivity" option (uncheck the other options) and click "next" twice. A report will show the results with a "green" or "red" dot next to each item. You should see a "green" dot next to the first two items ("Network interfaces verified" and "Internet connection verified"). However there will probably be a "red" dot next to the third item "Secure link to iTunes Store verified". 
    The important thing to note is that a secure connection could not be established. This is an indication that your wireless security is the problem. It does not satisfy the security level expected by the iTunes Store. It seems that an unsecure connection or one using outdated encryption (such as WEP) is no longer sufficient for the iTunes Store. This may be why the problem has emerged with the most recent versions of iTunes. The now widely used wireless encryption standard WPA or WPA2 is expected.
    So you need to check your router wireless security settings and, if you have a PC that uses a wireless connection to the router, make sure its settings  match. The following is a guide bearing in mind that there are many different types of routers and Windows OS.
    Router
    TIP: If you have a wireless connection from your PC to your router, then check your PC wireless security options first to see that "WPA" or "WPA2" are available (see below) as it will be a pain to change your router settings only to discover that your PC does not have the same options.
    (a)     Most routers can be accessed using your web browser by typing in the router's address (e.g. http://192.186.1.1). If you don't know the address look at the mannual that came with your router as it will tell you how to do this.
    (b)     Once your browser displays the router interface you may be prompted for a username and password. These may be the default factory or ones that you have created previously. If the username or password has not been changed, but you don't remember of know what they are again go to the mannual that came with your router as it will have that information.
    (c)     Assuming that you are able to access your router interface, look for the "wireless" tab or menu and a sub-menu or option for the "security settings". They'll be there somewhere. Once you find the security options you can select the encryption level. As stated above, you should choose "WPA" or "WPA2". You will then be asked to create a network key which can be anything with the required number of letters and/or digits.
    (d)     Once your finished write the settings down (including the key) as you will need them for your PC if you have a wireless connection to the router. Save the changes (if prompted to do so) and re-boot your router.
    PC Wireless
    (a)     Again the appoach that you need to take will depend on your OS (XP, Vista or Windows 7), but generally speaking if you go to the "network" on your PC there will be the option to highlight it and right click or choose a "properties" item. I vaugely think this can be done in XP by right clicking the wireless icon in the taskbar and navigating to the dialogue box that shows your network. In Windows 7 you will need to go to the "Network and Sharing Center" and then choose "Manage wireless networks".
    (b)     At some point (sorry to be vauge) you will find the wireless network security options for your network. Select the same level of encrytion ("WPA" or "WPA2") and type in the same network key that you chose for your router. Save the changes and your wireless connection should come to life. If not then make sure that you have put in the correct settings before freaking out.
    Back to iTunes
    Once you are connected to your router again (wirelessly or by lan), then plug in your device and open iTunes. As before it will try to access the iTunes Store, but hopefully you won't have any problem establishing a secure connection and you'll be up and running.
    Best of luck!      

    Something is still blocking iTunes, do you have any other firewall installed?
    When you say you removed Norton, to you mean you uninstalled it. An uninstalled Norton security product can still bock iTunes as some of it is left behind.
    Several people have found that using the Norton Removal Tool to remove all traces of Norton fixes this problem.

  • Itunes could not connect to iTunes Store-Network timed out. Upgraded to 7.6

    I upgraded this morning and was able to buy tracks. Now I get "Itunes could not connect to iTunes Store.The Network connection timed out. Running Nework Connectivity Test shows everything ok. Apple Sw Update application shows the same behavior. All of my other applications and programs run normally. I can surf web ok.
    Can someone help me?

    Search the forums. This is an old problem. For almost everyone it's a Norton issue. I had to upgrade from Norton 360 V1 to V2 to solve the problem. With otehr versions of Norton people have been able to create an entry in the firewall's allowed sites and that fixed it. If nothing else call Norton. They should have had enough calls by now they'll be able to tell you how to fix it for your version of Norton.

    Hi Elvin,
    The issue might be related to the executionTimeout setting of the Web application. If you view the report in the report manager, please use the following steps to modify the web.config file:
    Navigate to <Drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRSX.<InstanceName>\Reporting Services\ReportManager, back up and then open the web.config file.
    Search for httpRuntime.
    Add maxRequestLength="100000" to the line of code, and reset the executionTimeout value so that the line looks like this:
    <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="100000" executionTimeout="90000" />
    If you view the reports on a SharePoint site, please modify the web.config file of the SharePoint Web application. For example, if the SharePoint Web application uses 80 port, then its web.config file is located in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80
    folder.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes Store error msg: We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50).

    So I began having trouble connecting to the iTunes store with my computer about a month ago. It was working fine, I purchased and downloaded some music, and then the next day I got this message when I clicked on the iTunes Store: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
    Some basic facts about my computer:
    Mac OS X 10.7.3, purchased in May '12.
    iTunes is updated to the latest 10.6.3 version.
    I have Sophos Anti-Virus (newly installed in the last two weeks).
    No firewalls are set up.
    Parental controls are not blocking anything (don't have them set up).
    Internet connection is fine, no matter how I connect.
    I did have an older version of iTunes (the previous version, so it wasn't that old) when the problem began, so I updated to the newest version hoping it would fix it; but it hasn't. I have checked the firewalls per apple community posts. I have checked the network connection. I only just put on an Anti-Virus (and the problem was pre-AV, so it shouldn't be that). I FINALLY figured out how to uninstall iTunes, and then I reinstalled it. The store still won't open, giving me the same message. 
    A little more research seems to show that the (-50) error is when it times out? But the message appears barely half a second after I click on the iTunes Store icon. It doesn't seem to even try; there isn't enough time to warrant a 'timing out'.
    I am at a loss. At this point I am considering taking my computer in and telling them 'fix it, no matter what', but if I can avoid the hassle of being without my one and only computer for at LEAST a week, that would be great.
    Does anyone have any ideas?! 
    Thank you and God bless!
