Why i cant connect iTunes Store but Internet can connect?

Why i cant connect iTunes Store but Internet can connect?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes

every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes or i get an error when i try to use it
do you know why and how to solve this problem?

Hi Colin,
A couple of things you can try:
Open System Preferences and click on Network. Click on the small gear icon below the list of connections and select Set Service Order. Move your AirPort connection up to the top of the list so it will be first in line when your computer searches for connections. (It's probably looking for ethernet connections first..the normal default..and finding none, it then looks for wireless. This takes time.
Click on your AirPort connection again to highlight it and then click Advanced in the lower right of the pane. Make sure your wireless network is at the top of the list. Delete other networks that you don't need.
Finally, make sure there is a check mark in the box next to "Remember any network this computer has joined".
See if one of these actions will help.

Airplay icon disappears from iTunes

Hi,
I recently bought an Airport Express (last generation) to be able to hear my iTunes music collection on my stereo. The Airport Express is connected to my home router via ethernet cable (WiFi is disabled) and is configured to only work as an Airplay device. It works flawlessly from my iPhone and iPad, either using the builtin iOS music app, Spotify, or any other app that supports Airplay.
But that's not the case with iTunes on my PC (Windows 8.1). The Airplay icon keeps disappearing from iTunes and the only way I can get it back is by disconnecting the ethernet cable from the Airport Express and connecting it again. There are two situations where the Airplay icon disappears. One is if I put the computer to sleep. When it wakes up the Airplay icon is gone and I can't get it back unless I disconnect the ethernet cable (or reset the Airplay). But sometimes I'm hearing some music via PC, then switch to Spotify on the iPad, and when I get back to the PC the Airplay icon turns orange and I can't connect to the Airport Express. Then it disappears. It doesn't always happen.
I've already tried every solution that I read in these forums but nothing works. I've disabled the windows firewall, disabled IPv6, configured the Airport Express with a fixed IP address, etc. etc. Nothing seems to work. The only thing I haven't tried is connecting my PC and Airpor Express via WiFi to the router, because my PC is a desktop and doesn't have an WiFi card. Right now it is connected via ethernet cable to the same router as the Airport Express, so it shouldn't be a problem, I guess.
Can anyone please give me any advice? I'm really frustrated, because having to disconnect the network cable from the Airport Express every time I turn on my computer so I can hear to some music is very annoying.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Pedro

Hello, I have this exact same problem -- Airport Express bought Feb. 2014 (not sure of firmware version?) Windows 8 PC, multiple iPads, iPhones in home. Wireless provider Comcast in S.F. Bay Area (using their Xfinity modem / router) extremely reliable and very fast for 10+ years.
Every few days Airport Express icon in iTunes on Windows PC turns orange and requires PC reboot. Upon reboot, streaming music works fine. Have also tried all other fixes found on Support forums, etc.
On iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4S and both iPad 2s Airport Express icon is always available and always seems to work fine.
Strangely enough, after replacing iPhone 3GS with iPhone 5s (yesterday!), Airport Express was not available on new iPhone, but after quick reboot of Airport Express, new iPhone was able to stream music...
Windows 8, iTunes, etc. updated w/ latest versions, etc.
Definitely a pain having to re-boot PC every few days to re-connect to Airport Express...

Cant connect itunes tu apple tv

I cant connect apple tv with Itunes, dosent appear in the device list

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm a little confused as to what the problem is, are you saying your MacBook doesn't work with the Apple TV, but the MacBook Pro does.
Have you tried pairing the library on the MacBook or are you just expecting the MacBook to see the Apple TV because the MacBook Pro does.

Airplay icon disappears from iTunes when I connect a third idevice

I own an iPad 2, an iPhone 4 and Iphone 4S. After a clean install of itunes, Airplay works well. When I plug in first 2 devices (no matter which one and in what order), everything works well for several days with several reboots of PC. When I decided to connect the third device, Airplay still works but after rebooting the PC, the icon disappears completely! However I always see my 3 devices in sync by WiFi.
I made the test twice by changing the order of connections between devices, and the result is the same: Airplay works with 2 connections but no more after the third’s?
Windows 7 64bits and iTunes is up to date.

Iphone 4 cant connect itunes

iphone 4 doesnt connect to itunes.. it's charging to plug but not connect to the desktop computer.....

Try connecting either via a different wifi connection, or perhaps try "Hotspot Shield" (which is essentially a proxy). I found hospot shield instantly fixed the problem, and i could connect to itunes straight away. From there it was a simple task of restoring from my backup.
Im not sure why my original connection wouldn't connect to itunes, but after troubleshooting everything else it had to be down to the wifi connection.
Best of luck fixing your problem, i've spent 4-5hours pulling my hair out.

Cant connect iTunes to aiport express

I can not get iTunes to connect to my aiport. It dispayes in my iTunes, and when i connect to it, it says its connecting to it, but it just keeps going, and times out after a while. I have tried reseting my base station settings, but i am having no luck.
Any ideas?
James

If you run the Airport Admin Utility - is it able to "see" and view the configuration of the Airport Express?

Cant connect my second Airport express for AirPlay

Hi All,
Im trying to have my musiced play throughout the house by using Airplay on 2 Airport Expresses, but so far I have not had much luck.
I have the new 2nd generation Airport Express (AE) downstairs for the Bose system and using the older 1st Gen AE upstairs in the bedroom.
The downstairs 2nd gen works fine streaming to the Bose and I've managed to get the 1st gen airport express to work fine with the speaker unit upstairs but I cannot get iTunes to play across both speakers at the the same time.
Furthermore, when using Airport Utilities I can only 'see' the downstairs Airport Express ...unless i take my MAcBook upstairs and connect to the upstairs AE.
I've tried setting up the upstairs AE both as a stand alone wifi network and to extend the range of the wifi zone .....what am I missing??
I've also check the IP Address and DNS numbers but I dont know enough about those figures to know what means what, but I can tell you that they are different.
P.S. I am aware of the "multiple' tab under the Airplays tab in iTunes, but no luck so far.
Any help greatly appreciated as my master plan to extend music throughout the house is failing so far!

Magically just started working!!! Posting in here worked.....

Airplay icon disappeared from Yosemite menu bar. Yet appears in iTunes. How do I get it back so I can airplay from my mac-mini

This seems to have transpired since the upgrade of my Motorola ARRIS SURFboard modem/router to the duel band 2.4G/5G model. (white) All my apple products work great via WI-fi and I'm getting 58Mbps average. I can stream audio through iTunes. The existing issue is simply no icon to mirror or stream content from my mac-mini to the Apple TV.

First, open System Preferences -> Displays, and make sure that the option "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" is ticked. If it is ticked, untick and tick it. Note that you can also try choosing your Apple TV there next to "AirPlay Mirroring" to check that it shows up correctly.

Airplay Icon not showing in iTunes

I have a problem with my Win8.1 laptop and the current iTunes version 11.3.0 using airplay with my ATV 1 (current firmware)
Airplay usually works when I start up iTunes after booting the ATV but what really bothers me is that when my laptop looses WLAN connectivity for a few seconds, iTunes won't reconnect to the ATV and ask me to use the computer instead. After that the airplay icon disappears, and won't reapper until I have restarted the ATV and the laptop (alltough it may be that restarting the ATV isn't necessary).
I have disabled IPV6 and tried restarting iTunes, the Bonjour service and the WLAN adapter, nothing helps but a restart.
Airplay however continues to work fine with my iPhone / iPad.
Any hints on what might be causing this? If not I'd suggest that the Apple developers overthink the discovery algorimth for airplay devices...

Sorry, my bad, I have mistaken my ATV for a 1G in fact its a 2G. can't seem to change the first post but there you go.
I connected the ATV to my iTunes lib to try the starting / stopping a song, but it didn't help. Also I'd prefer a solution that doesn't need the TV to be turned on (right now I'm using the optical coax out for music only). Thanks for the tip though.
Further suggestions would be appreciated.
