How do I access my itunes store? A message popped up "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-3212)."

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and it didn't work.

Hello smmdam82412,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities. The following article outlines specific iTunes Store Conditions and Alert Messages:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
"Error 3000" through "3999"
Alerts with codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, or due to your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try removing the proxy settings, or using a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
I realize you described your error as -3212, however there may be a chance it is related to -3221:
"Error -3221"
This alert is often related to iTunes and iTunesHelper being blocked by software firewall.
If this happens, change the permission level for iTunes and iTunesHelper in your software firewall to allow full access.
This should allow iTunes and iTunesHelper to both send and receive data from the iTunes Store.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I don't know - but I am having the same problem and have not had any useful help from Apple Support. Everything they told be to do has been done and it hasn't fixed the problem.

Withh some issues with itunes I removed then reinstalled itunes. Now it tells me "We could not complete your itunes store request. An un known error occured" Anyone have this problem?

With some issues with itunes, I uninstalled then reinstalled itunes. It now Gives me the message "We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error occured"

"Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.

HT204406 Whenever my computer tries to sync my tracks via iTunes match, I get a message that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (4002)...please try again later." This has been happening for 4 months now.

...how do I resolve this issue? It's irritating for several reasons:
1) My new songs do not appear in match on my other devices because of this error
2) My itunes turns itself on automatically when it knows it needs to match; then the icon starts jumping up and down when the error occurs, distracting me from whatever I'm doing about ever 15 minutes at times.
3) I've paid for this. It's working so badly.

Re: error 4002 in itunes match do you have a solution?

Hi All,
I had this problem today myself, and was frustrated repeatedly by the '4002' error.
I have literally just fixed the issue by doing the following steps:
1: Go to the 'Store' tab and select 'Turn Off iTunes Match'
2: Return to the 'Store' tab and select 'Update Genius'
3: Wait for this to complete succesfully, the return to the 'Store' tab once more and select 'Turn On iTunes Match'.
4: iTunes Match will now go through the motions and should succeed!
I hope this helps

We could not complete your iTunes request...message

Morning folks, I'm sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, I have looked but can't see it. I need to access the iTunes store from my work laptop, (I have iTunes installed) and when I go to, this message pops up-We could not complete your iTunes request. You do not have permission to access the requested resource. I do remember adding my laptop as one of the five machines I can have. I tried to double check my account to see which computers are authorised but 'it' will only let me de-authorised all of them. Any suggestions would be great,
Thanks

Authorization or lack thereof would not normally affect the ability to access the iTunes Store itself. It may be that something on your work computer or work network is blocking access to the Store. Run the Network Diagnostics in iTunes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3204
and post the results here. That may provide some clues.
Regards.

having this problem when trying to authorise an newly downloaded app in iTunes

Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
Do not change your settings.
Edit

When trying to sign in to the iTunes store I get the following message, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later." How do you resolve this?

I started getting this message a couple of days ago.

ITunes Radio: We could not complete your iTunes Store request. You are not authorized to access the requested resource.

I can't get iTunes Radio to work. I get this error message, even when I'm signed in to iTunes:
"We could not complete your iTunes Store request. You are not authorized to access the requested resource. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
What the hey?
Anyone?
thanks!
PS: I'm running 10.8.5 but for some reason this website won't let me display that and keeps changing it to 10.8.2.

Relaunched iTunes a few times, signed out, signed in, and it's finally working now. Good grief. But all's well.

We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

Please can someone help. I keep on getting this when I try and buy a song or upgrade my iPhone aps. I have got the latest iTunes on my 15" MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.5 (12F37). Last week I changed my password on //appleid.apple.com I could the access my account in iTunes. I have tried to log on to my account / view my account in itunes / buy a song and tried upgrading my apps, but I can't do anything now. it is frustrating. Please, please, please can someone help. :-)

Unsure if this will help anyone but I had the same problem with the message always coming up when I tried to login: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
What I couldn't understand was that I could log into iTunes online, but not through the iTunes app, becoming very frustrated I went to drastic measures to get everything working again - although I found this post after I had success.
To add to the issue, my iPhone (4S - iOS7) was visible on iTunes (latest version), but some of my apps had failed to sync (showing grey on my iPhone and being unable to delete them), causing further issues and adding to my frustrations....which attributed to the drastic measures posted below.
(You may want to try following the above posts before following my method)
**** Apple support provided me with an email containing many links, all of which didn't really help me, but I'll post anyway, just incase they assist someone else:
"Dear Luke,
Thank you for writing to iTunes Store Customer Support, my name is Indra and I'll be assisting to you with your concern.
I understand that you are unable to login to your iTunes store account and getting message that the iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. I can imagine you must be eager to access your account and I will do my best to resolve this issue.
Luke, as an advisor for the iTunes Store, I handle issues related to billing, downloading, customer accounts, and the items available on the iTunes Store. Although your question falls outside of my area of specialty, I will be happy to assist you with resolving your issue.
I have verified that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections. The issue could have been temporary, related to your internet connection, your local network, or your computer itself. If you’re still unable to connect, this article outlines some potential solutions:

Firewall, virus-protection, and web-acceleration software can prevent you from connecting to the iTunes Store. You might not be able to connect even if the software appears to be configured to allow full access to the iTunes Store. You can use the MSCONFIG utility to determine if software on your computer is preventing access to the iTunes Store. For detailed instructions, please refer to the following article:
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista and Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
If the articles above don't help you connect to the iTunes Store, I suggest testing to see if this issue occurs while you are signed in to a new user account on your computer. To learn how to create a new user account in your version of Windows, please read the article below for your operating system:
How to create and configure user accounts in Windows XP

Windows 8: Create a user account
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-user-account
Once you are signed in to this new user account, open iTunes and try to connect to the iTunes Store. If you can connect without error, then you’ve identified that the issue is with the previous user account that you were using. You may want to consider adopting this new account as your user account and transferring your files from the old account to your new one.

But if the above doesn't work for you then you can follow my method...in the end, I perfomed the following actions which did work:
1). Uninstalled iTunes from my computer (via Control Panel > Programs & Features)
2). Located the iTunes folder containing media, Previous Libraries etc (normally located under your Music folder) and simply moved it to my desktop. (can't afford to delete)
3). Downloaded iTunes.
4). Plugged my iPhone into my laptop and moved all contents across to my desktop (photo's).
5). Restored my iPhone erasing ALL data (extreme but desperate measures were required) - you may want to back it up, but I personally didn't have anything that I couldn't afford to loose on it.
6). Set-up my iPhone (set language etc...) including iCloud, but did not plug it into my laptop.
7). Chose the following iPhone settings>
          > iCloud - Contacts turned off
          > Mail, Contacts, Calendars - iCloud Contacts turned off (same end result)
          > iTunes & App Store - made sure I was logged in via Apple ID.
7). Closed Outlook.
8). Re-installed iTunes, saving it on the C:> default location.
9). Followed the normal iTunes install prompts, setting it up as new. (making sure I had NO apps or music - clean slate)
10). Plugged my iPhone into my laptop, waiting for it to appear as it normally does.
11). Checked for iOS updates and iTunes updates (all good)
12). Checked Sync Contacts with Outlook (opening Outlook at the same time) - Calendars I left to the iCloud
13). APPLY....once sync finally completed (this time SUCCESSFUL) I was able to click iTunes Store and LOG IN.....finally!
I probably didn't have to perform all 13 steps, but that's exactly what I did to get everything working again!
There is probably someone out there who will be able to explain why I couldn't login to iTunes, why many of my apps didn't load onto my iPhone correctly, why everything failed to sync and probably able to shorten the above 13 steps to a quick fix.... but for now, everything is finally working and my 48hrs of frustration has come to an stress free end!

Could not complete your itunes store request. unknown error occurred (-4)

I synced my iPhone to my Macbook for the first time. When I connected the phone, iTunes opened and prompted me to login. I entered my Apple ID and password. Then, I synced my contacts and music to my phone.
Afterwards, I disconnected my phone from the computer and tried to download a free app. My phone prompted me to enter my apple username and password. I tried entering my Apple ID and password but access failed. So my first question is, is the Apple ID the same thing as an Apple account? Can I use it to login and download apps on iTunes?
Secondly, I tried creating an account on iTunes by selecting the button and an error message popped up. It said
'we could not complete your itunes store request. an unknown error occurred (-4). There was an error in the itunes store. please try again later.'
I'd love some help on this so I can start using my new phone =)

I found out how to sign up!

How do I access my itunes store? A message popped up "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-3212)."
