I am unable to connect to the iTunes store
I keep receiving this message when trying to connect to the iTunes store, or accessing GraceNote database:
- 'iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (306). Please check the network connection and try again.'
My internet service is fine and I can access other internet sites with no problems at all. It is extremely frustrating!
I have a MacBook Pro, with Mac OS X Version 10.6.6. If anyone could advise me how to fix this, it would be very much appreciated!
Attempt to close out of iTunes or restart the computer... this sometimes can mean Apple is updating the iTunes Store or simply your wifi needs reset. I have had this happen before.

Unable to connect to the itunes store on my laptop after upgrading to ios 7.
I have Windows XP - Service Pack 2 and after upgrading my itunes to ios 7, I am unable to connect to the itunes store. Every time I click on the itunes store I receive a message that says "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. An unknown error has occurred (0x80092013). Make sure your network connection is active and try again." Every other device in my house is hooked up to the internet and I am having no problem browsing the internet on this computer. I tried completely uninstalling all itunes and apple software from my computer and re-installing it and nothing has helped. Any advice?

I have windows 7 and have tried the troubleshooting steps but am still unable to connect to the itunes store yet my PC is connected to the internet, it just keeps looking like its trying to access the store
I have the same problem but the solution Wendyz99 did has not been successful for me. Part of the itunes store loads on the right side where the tabs for Quick Links and Top Charts are but the center section of the page is white. Also if I click on a song that is in the top chart area it will take me to the page but I'm not able to purchase the song or preview the song.
I feel I have tried all the solutions I can find on line and even had conversations with apple tech with no help.
I have down loaded the Autoruns program and in the winstock providers I have Bonjour and Microsoft Windows Live ID Namespace Provider. I have removed Windows Live and this still does not resolve the problem. I am at a complete loss. I am running windows 7, 32bit. Someone please help! -

Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors
http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/best-fixes-for-cannot-connect-to-itunes- store-errors/
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

I can no longer connect to the ITunes Store. CAn you help? When I do the diagnostics it says Securie link to itunes store failed.
I think I may be having the same problem. "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again." All tests pass the diagnostics. iPhone restored to factory settings in DFU mode, but when beginning to sync I get this error message. I've been searching online for fixes and tried several suggestions, but nothing worked so far. (disabled antivirus, firewall, ie settings, uninstall/reinstall itunes...) I'm getting very frustrated & hoping someone on here can help.

Hey qkslvr01,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with connecting to the iTunes Store. The following articles may help to resolve your issue:

"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.
Thanks,

Last successful iTunes Store access was 2013-08-09 00:02:52.Can someone please respond to my request for support? I tried the provided correct answer at https://discussions.apple.com/message/11561783#11561783 but it did not work.
I also got a MSFT tech support person to remotely look at my machine, for what its worth, he said the registry file is fine and to contact Apple support.
Any help would be very much appreciated. -

Ok, so after purchasing a new computer, with windows 7 pro, 64 bit, I tried downloading the newest iTunes, which at the time was 10.2.1 (i believe). After installation, everything seemed to work, except that iTunes was unable to securely connect to the internet, use home sharing, or validate my computer.
As troubleshooting, I first ran msconfig, and then turned OFF all programs that boot at start up EXCEPT itunes and quicktime. After a restart, i opened itunes again, and got the same result. That led me to believe that iTunes was NOT being blocked by another program on my machine. I am currently running itunes 10.7 successfully on a Windows 7 32 machine at work. Anyhow, for grins, I tried to install version 9 on the new computer, and it installed perfectly, and immediately connected to the itunes store, leading me to believe that there is nothing wrong with my software configuration (not sure if this is a safe assumption or not). I then tried to let iTunes update itself using the automated update function. It tried to update itself to the most current version, then 10.6. Again, iTunes was unable to connect to the iTunes store. I HAVE tried disabling the anti-virus software (AVG), but that made no difference.
I have since gone back and reinstalled iTunes 9. Here's the catch though. When I reinstalled using version 9, I had to redo all my library files. I'm about 1/2 way through my CD's, and now have a substantial library file going. The last time I let iTunes update itself to 10.6, once I realized that it was not going to connect to the store, I uninstalled iTunes, and reinstalled ver. 9. However, when I did this, it told me it could no longer open the library file, because it was a newer .itl or .xml (i believe it was one of those two extensions) library file. At that point, I basically started everything over again, using version 9, and have been importing CD's like a madman at night.
Here are my questions:
1) Is there a way to make a copy of the files that store my library info, so that if my upgrade to ver 10 IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, I can restore ver 9, but still have all of the album art work, playlists (when I import music, I create a playlist with the artists' name, and store things that way), etc. in tact?
2) What else can I try (firewall settings, internet options, etc.) to try and get version to to successfully install? I would really like to get all the benfits of the newer versions.
3) When I tried to get apple tech support before, they wanted me to pay a ridiculous 69$ fee for phone support. I just bought an iphone 5....this should entitle me to a fresh 90 days of phone support, right? The reason I ask here is that I could hardly understand the "tech" that answered the phone when I called for tech support last time, and to be honest, it really ****** me off that they wanted to try and milk me for another 69 bucks....I've purchased every iPhone since the 3Gs came out (pre-ordered at that), and have nearly gone broke purchasing music from their iTunes store....heck, maybe they're doing me me a favor not letting me into the store, huh?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated,
-BrianMany thanks.
