How can I get iTunes to stop trying to connect to the iTunes Store?

So my company decides to cut off my access to the iTunes Store. So I go in to Prefs and turn off all things iTunes Store related. I'm still getting a message saying it can't connect to the iTunes Store. How can I get iTunes to stop trying to connect?

Disable itunes store in preferences.
It's also possible you have some podcast group trying to connect to iTunes if that's their source. Disable podcasts or at least set preferences to check for podcasts manually.

  • Recently when I log on to itunes, my computer tries to connect to the itunes store and then just remains blank. the screen is white and I cannot even connect to itunes help from the itunes tab  ... help!

    Recently, when I open itunes I cannot connect to the itunes store. It shows that it is connecting then the screen is blank and remains blank. I cannot even open the itunes help section from itunes. I had to log on to the support sight from my browser. Any ideas????

    Hi.
    I have spent the past 10 days trying to solve this problem of “iTunes Store” no longer opening.
    During this time of emailing backwards and forwards to iTunes Support nothing they suggested worked. All the links they sent didn’ toffer any help. I was basically just being told to delete iTunes and then reinstall it again.
    After this long period of emailing each other every day,they finally told me that I need more detailed Technical Help and gave me a phone number to call their Apple Telephone Technical Help line.
    When I explained all of the above, the man I was speaking to said did you delete EVERYTHING connected with iTunes, to which I said that I had deleted iTunes so I assumed that would be it. I was then told that this was the problem, I was not told to also delete Quick Time and Bonjour etc., infact everything else connected with iTunes.
    So this is the procedure:
    Control Panel/ Delete/Uninstall a Program
    Then delete ALL of the following: “Apple ApplicationsSupport”, - “Apple Software Update”, - Bonjour, - “iTunes”, - “Quick Time”.
    Finally, go to ‘Start’/’Search’ then type in iTunes and then you will see appear a whole string of at least 10 files all with the word ‘iTunes’ in each file name. DELETE EVERY ITEM. You should have now entirely cleared your computer of everything connected with Apple iTunes.
    Now, Reinstall iTunes, which will reinstall everything you have just deleted explained above.
    Result?  It all workedagain!!  

  • How can I get Firefox to stop trying to update to newer version

    I don't want a newer version of Firefox and I'm tired of it always trying to update automatically to a newer version. When this happens, I can't get to the website I want. This has to stop, or I'm going back to Windows Explorer.

    You can find the update settings here:
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > Update: "Automatically check for updates":
    If files already have been downloaded then you need to remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You can delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates

  • How can I get my music off my iPhone and into the iTunes library?

    My computer broke down a long time ago and I lost all my music, the only place I have any of it now is on my iPhone. None of my songs were purchases. I haven't updated my phone since I got it a year ago, I deleted and backed up everything on my phone except for my music because I can find no way how, and I still don't have enough space to update. Some of the songs I have on there, I can't get back if I delete now, not anywhere. Why is there not a simple, built in way to back up music??? This has been driving me insane forever, I really just want to get my music back into iTunes again, or get it onto the computer I'm currently using, somewhere, anywhere, at this point. Is there any way to do this without downloading some program that you have to pay for to get to work?

  • How can I get back all of my family videos from the iTunes monster?

    So here's the thing.
    Over the past few years I have accumulated a whole heap of home videos as well as movies, TV episodes etc. etc. which has grown and grown to the point where there was no more space on my 60GB hard drive.
    So I go out and buy an 80GB video iPod so that I can store the videos on that.
    I go through the extremely lengthy (3 days) and frustrating process of converting all my files to mp4 using Videora converter and load them onto iTunes and then onto my new iPod. I then click 'Manually manage songs' in my iPod options so that I could delete the videos from my computer, and have them still on my iPod. This was about a week ago and since then everything has been fine.
    When updating my iPod this morning, I manually ejected the ipod once my new music was added, only to find that the ipod now contained NO VIDEOS! As it turns out, the iPod automaticaaly reverted to 'automatcally manage files' without my prompt.
    So now whilst I have the files on iTunes, they cannot be found as they have been deleted and they are no longer on my iPod. Is there ANY way that I can get them back? Anything at all? System restore or something?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    if you mean apps located in your itunes library then you check the apps you want on the iphoen in the apps tab when you have it connected to computers itunes

  • HT1689 How can I get a refund on a purchased app from the App Store?

    I purchased an app from the App Store and did not get an email receipt.  After opening the app, I found it didn't do what I thought it was designed to do.  I can't seem to find out how to get a refund from my recent purchase.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • How can I get a refund for an application purchased at the App Store?

    I purchased an application (Quicken 2015) at the App Store, but it doesn't do what I need.  The vendor (Intuit) says it has a 60 day guarantee, but I need to go back to the vendor (the App Store in this case) to get a refund.  But I can't find any way to do that.

    Go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, and contact Apple.

  • How can I get ICloud to stop trying to verify my account and stop the upgrade process? Also, I don't know my iCloud password and can't reset it.  Help!

    Since
    the latest iOS download iCloud keeps trying to verify my account as well as keeps trying to upgrade. I can't figure out how to stop it as I also don't know my password And can't reset the iCloud PW. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

  • I mistakenly asked iTunes to download a TV series and I can't get it to stop trying to download it.   how do I kill the download?

    I mistakenly asked iTunes to download a TV series and I can't get it to stop trying to download it.   how do I kill the download?

    You've got to be freakin' kidding me. I'm in Brazil, I accidentally started a 2.2GB download that it says will take 592 minutes to download, and there's no way I can stop it and download something else until that first download finishes? I would have thought it was unthinkable 15 years ago that anyone would build an app that downloads things but doesn't allow the option of canceling the download, but in this day and age? So much for Apple making intuitive, user-friendly products.

  • I downloaded the Keynote app to use on my iPad and because of iCloud, it is trying unsuccessfully to download onto my iPhone. How can I get it to stop attempting to download onto my iPhone? It says waiting and I can't delete it (no X to click). Thx!

    Did you try shutting down the device? Resetting? Disabling iCloud? Disabling auto-update?
    I'd find the problem that is keeping the download from proceeding and fix that so that the process can finish...sounds like it may be your connection or a server issue, in which case you may need to wait.

    Or better yet, create and use new Apple IDs for others in your household. You could always use different Apple IDs for iCloud services (like iMessage and FaceTime) and iTunes and App Store., but it's even easier to share purchased content now with Family Sharing.
