Your Apple ID ******** was just used to purchase "Assassin's Creed Pirates" from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that had not not previously been associated with that Apple ID. You may also be receiving this email if you reset your password since your last purchase.
This purchase was initiated from Russia.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not make the purchase yourself.
If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account .

I can't see anything genuine about it!
Since the link to the Apple id: Tips for... actually says it goes to a site named "bingo", I think it's quite clear that this is a phishing email, designed to get you to click on and go to their site, not an Apple one. I hope you have not clicked on the link.
It is not a good idea to put your own persoanl information in a post on a public forum. I will ask our hosts to remove it and the link. Don't be surprised if they remove the entire thread.

I have the latest version of Itunes downloaded and installed to my computer. I have a music library already created for my replaced Ipod Nano. I've just purchased a new Nano. When I try to access the Itunes store from the Itunes program, it gets hung u

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes, but it still gets hung up when trying to access the Itunes Store from the Itunes program.
I've been unable to register the new Nano or sync it with my library.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

HT1918 I was tryin to use a gift card at the itunes store. My account was charged 19.99. Is there anyway for me to return the ibooks and have the charge put back in my account? This was my 1st purchanse and I did not realize I would not be given a choose

To continue from above. I have changed may payment to none. So in the future I have a choose on how to pay. Can my i book s be returned and I start all over with gift card. I would like all my i books to be turned and the 19.99 put back in my account and the $20 gift to be put back so I can start all over. Last night was my first time using itunes and I only wanted to spend the gift card.

You can't choose how items are billed - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
So if you have a balance on your account then that should be automatically used up before your credit card is charged for any remainder or additional purchases (unless you are gifting content, that can only be done via a credit card).
All purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you (these are user-to-user forums) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work 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, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

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?

Check the AppleCare number for your country here:

Call them up, and let them know you would like to be transferred to the Account Security Team.

TS1368 My itunes won't connect to the itunes store...it just accesses til it times out.

I transferred my hard drive content from my desk top to my new Laptop. Itunes transferred, but it will not access the Itunes store from the Itunes program. I do not have to many devices authorized to my account, and I enabled my firewall settings to accept Itunes. I noticed it doesn't have an address, so I put one in, but it still won't access the store. Any suggestions?

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Is it true that After March 30, 2015, AOL will no longer support your ability to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store or did I just receive a phishing email?

I just received the following email.....Is this legit? Makes no sense.
Dear iTunes Customer,
Our records indicate that you have been using your AOL Username to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store.
After March 30, 2015, AOL will no longer support your ability to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. In order to continue using store features, including the ability to access your previously purchased content, you must transition from signing in with your AOL Username to signing in with an Apple ID.
To make this transition, simply sign in once more with your AOL Username to iTunes on your Mac or PC. You will automatically be taken through a few short steps to complete the process.
When the process is complete, your new Apple ID will allow you to continue to purchase and download music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, and more. Additionally, your Apple ID will allow you to access other Apple services, such as iCloud and the Apple Online Store.
This transition does not affect any AOL services you may be using with your AOL Username.
AOL Usernames which have not been transitioned to Apple ID will permanently lose access to the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store after March 30, 2015. Apple will be unable to provide support for AOL Usernames which are not transitioned by this date.
To learn more about this transition, visit support.apple.com/kb/HT204268.

The iTunes Store team

The link that appears in the copy in the OP does not go to an Apple site, it is something to the effect of newitunes.com, whereas the text tells you it is an Apple support document.
However, if you take the text of the support document listed, I put it in my browser and it does lead to a legit Apple Support document about coverting. Convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID - Apple Support Seems this needs to be done by March 31, 2015, as AOL will no longer allow users to use their AOL identification.

Just downloaded 10.5. It gives me a blank screen for the itunes store. No error message. Internet connection fine. Have checked firewall. Any ideas?

I have just downloaded 10.5. it gives me a blank screen for the itunes store. No error message. Internet connection fine and I have checked my firewall settings. Any ideas? Or is the store blocked because of ios 5 release today?

I've had the exact same issue since late last night since I downloaded 10.5
I'm also having problems backing up my iPhone, which I suspect is due to the same issue.
I've tried all recommended solutions on forums and Apple support (deleting backups, restarting phone/computer, disabling/uninstalling third party security software, testing port connectivity) and none of them work.
I will try japiohelp's solution and see if that does anything.

HT2731 every time i try to go to the iTunes store, my ipod says "Cannot Connect to the iTunes Store". How do I get it to log into my account?

Every time I try to go to the iTunes store from my iPod, it says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". How do I get it to connect and log in to my iTunes account??

Do other apps connect to the internet on the iPod e.g. Safari ? If they do then try logging out of your account on the iPod by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

I used to live in Spain and bought music through istore, I now live in Ireland and have a new iPhone but the music I bought in Spain is not in my Libruary

I used to live in Spain and bought music in the iTunes Store , I have now moved to Ireland and have a new iPhone but the music I bought in Spain is not listed in my music nor is it in my Library. Can I get hold of this music or do I have to re buy the albums? I have not changed my apple I'd just my place of residence. Help?

This is a bit of a mess, because your billing address has to match the current iTS you are using. You also can't move items from one Apple ID account into another.

We have an itunes account on our desktop and my kids have it on their ipod and iphone. I went in and changed our user name from my old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my new one and now either of my kids can access the itunes store..

We have an itunes account on our desktop and both my kids have it on iphone and ipod. I went in and changed out user name from an old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my one I use now... When the kids try to sign onto the itunes store it tells them they have the wrong user name..
Can this be fixed??

Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials.
