Problem Itunes Store
failure of the secure links to the iTunes Store
Does not want to connect to the Internet

Care to give a little more information? Like maybe exactly what you're trying to do when the problem happens, the exact error message that appears, how long its been happening for, what steps you've already tried, etc.
These types of details can really make a difference when asking others for good troubleshooting. Since you are on a Windows computer though, a good place to start is these articles:

Cannot secure link connect to iTunes Store

I have tried everything to connect to the iTunes Store and nothing works. This just happened out of the blue. I have never had a problem
in the past. When connected to iTunes, I can access my account and get information, I can connect to radio. But no access to the
store. I have checked all the internet options and all the connections. I have disconnected my Norton 360.....didn't help. Does anyone
have any ideas?

I seem to have tracked down the problem. AVG Family Safety software was causing the issue somehow. I have uninstalled it and iTunes now working. I will contact AVG for a solution as I now have no way of blocking certain sites.

Hi all! I was updating the software on i pad to ios6, update was interrupted(apple update server is unavailable...). iTunes Diagnostics shows that "secure link to I tunes store failed". I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Can anybody help please?

Good day Goose253501,
It sounds as though your iPhone is having some difficulty accessing the App Store servers when attempting to sign in. I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,

I can not access Itunes Store from my computer. When I run the dianostic I get a red light that says "Secure Link to the Itunes Store Failed".

I can not access Itunes Store from my computer.
When I run the diagnostic tool for network connectivity, my network connects but I get a Red light that says "SECURE LINK TO THE ITUNES STORE FAILED".
Can anyone help me on this problem?

ITunes won't connect all I get is the "accessing iTunes store......". With the bar scrolling but no connection.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

I cannot purchase anything at the itunes store because I am being ask for my security questions, but I don't remember them. How do you change you security questions with out knowing them?

I cannot purchase anything at the itunes store because I am being ask for my security questions, but I don't remember the answers. I tried going to appleied.apple.com but I won't allow me to change my security answerswithout answering the original questions. How do you change you security questions with out knowing them? I need help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here, and reset your security questions, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help or you don't have a rescue address, you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

Is there a way to link from a podcast in the iTunes library list to the podcast in the iTunes store?

There used to be a link button that did exactly that. It vanished from iTunes 2 or 3 years ago. At that time, a number of posts asked how to put it back. None of the posts I've found had a useful response, so I gather there wasn't.
I'm just wondering if things have changed.
Many podcasts now have multiple entries in the iTunes store - often with similar graphics. There are times when I want to re-download an episode of a subscribed podcast. The problem isn't getting to the podcast via a search of the iTunes store. The problem is determining, when a podcast has multiple entries, which version of the podcast has the episode I want.
Thanks

As far as I know (not very far, btw) new versions of Java are now only distributed from Oracle specifically for OS X. Apple is no longer updating Java beyond the version distributed with the 2014-001 security update. Java SE Runtime Environment 7 1.7.0_67 is the most recent Oracle release. That's pretty much all I know.

Can't get a secure connection to the iTunes store

Hey, been trying to connect to iTunes store for 4 months now. It used to work on my computer but now it says there's a problem getting a secure connection to the iTunes store. Its not the firewall or the network. Have tried: removing AVG, flushing dns, emailing apple, updating iTunes, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, changing to a new wireless network, but nothing worked. Have looked at all the pages of possible errors for windows but can't find anything that works.
Any ideas? My computer used to have Norton 360 on it but it was deleted. Could there possibly be some files remaining that are preventing a connection to the iTunes store?
Here's the error message part..

I tried buying an album off the iTunes Store but I didn't know the security question answers. It disabled my account from buying for 8 hours but I want the album by tonight! Help please?!?!

I tried buying an album off of the iTunes Store but I didn't know the security question answers. I reached the limit for the amount of answers and now it disabled my account from buying for 8 hours but I want the album by tonight! Can anyone help?!

If you've disabled your account for 8 hours then you will need to wait until the 8 hours have completed.
When the 8 hours are up, then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then you should get a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620

Not all of my perviously purchaced songs are showing up on itunes purchaced link on my account. It show that I have already purchaced them in the itune store, but i have no way of downloading them back into my library.

If they aren't showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes) for redownloading then have you checked to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

I cannot connect to I tunes store using I tune 11.1 I get the error 0x80092013 "secure link to I tunes store failed" does anyone know what this is?

I cannot connect to the I tunes store after recently downloading I tunes 11.1 I just get the error code 0x80092013 so not sure what to do. I have tried deleting and then reinstalling I tunes with no luck. I tried to flush my DNS but that did not work, I tried the diagnostics in I tunes and it told me my connections were fine but said the "secure link to I tunes store failed" Looking for an answer thanks!

Okay I was able to connect back to the I tunes store in I tunes 11.1 taking care of the error 0x80092013. I did this in XP going to the firewall controls, selecting the exception tab. I tunes was already in the exceptions tab but I deleted it anyway, then I added I tunes back using the Add Program button then browsing to the I tunes.exe location in the C drive then selected that as the program. I tunes showed back up in the exceptions once again. I then shut down the computer and restarted it and I then had a connection with I tunes. So the I tunes in the exceptions tab in the firewall was not working I just replaced it with a fresh one.

HT201303 How do you reset the answers to your security questions in the iTunes store?

I was trying to make a purchase on the iTunes store from my computer but forgot the answers to my security questions. I can log in with my Apple ID and password with no problems, it's just that when I am prompted to answer two security questions to complete the purchase, I've been getting one (or both of them) wrong. Can anyone help me reset the questions?
