I can not access my iTunes store and why

Pls can some body help me out.

I can confirm this.
Was having issues with my iTunes and iTunes Match last night, which in the end seemed to boil down to my ISP throttling my iTunes ports that were being used for uploading. Somewhat resolved this by throttling the ports my self down to 100kbs.
Anyways, got on tonight to mess around with it and to see if I could find a better solution than throttling... Attempted to download some of my purchased songs and was unable, the download would stall before it even began. Tried to do the basic trouble shooting of restarting my modem router and computer, no dice. Stepped it up to trying to sign out of the iTunes store and then log back in. Well, now I cannot log, iTunes gets stuck on "Accessing iTunes Store".
This is a real bummer.
I did try a number of steps including (after backing up important files!) deleting all my iTunes pref files, as well as the By Host iTunes files (later restored after they did not fix issue), then I monkied with my router some along with network settings (mostly playing with ports and DNS settings). Still no luck. I even tried reinstalling iTunes with no success.
I guess its reassuring that others are experiencing the same issue I am... On the same network I am able to access the iTunes store and iTunes Match without problems on other devices (iPad and iPhone) besides my new machine. I have taken advanced steps to try and fix it on my end, and am now feeling that this is something goofed on Apple's end.
*Edit: Opps, just noticed I had wandered into the iPad community. Hah, have a bunch of tabs open trying to figure out what is wrong. So... Yah, appears to be happing across multiple devices and at random. Not sure why computer isn't working, but my iPhone is just fine.

Many people (including me) are having the same problem at present. There are other threads in the message board with the same complaint.
There is nothing you can do about it except wait for Apple to fix the problem.

When trying to download apps recieve message stating can not connect to itunes store..why?

When trying to download an app, I get the "can not connect to itunes store" in spite of being signed in. What is blocking this?

You will need to contact iTunes Support, which you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users on these forums, we won't know why the message is appearing) : 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

I have Windows 7 64 bit, I downloaded iTunes 10 64 bit but can not access the iTunes store. I keep getting I do not have a secure connection, which I do.

I have Windows 7 (64 bit) and iTunes 10.2.2.12. I can access the web through Mozilla and Internet Explorer. But, when I open iTunes I can not access either the iTunes Store or iTunes Help. I keep getting a message that says the web connection is not secure. I use a Intel wireless router that is secure. I have tested my Norton program, but it is not Norton that is blocking iTunes. What can I do?

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you checked through the following document?
iTunes: About the "A secure network connection could not be established" alert

I have a 64 bit Windows 7 laptop and can not access the itunes store.

No error, just sits there saying "accessing itunes store". Any ideas?

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 & 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:

I can not access the itunes store on windows 7

Hello there,
This is the 3rd day that my daughters been trying to set up my iPod as my husband and I leave for Mexico on Tuesday.
To try and sort this out, she has tried EVERYTHING POSSIBLE... uninstall, re-install, checked for Quicktime uninstallation but our PC doesn't have it so that's not the issue, turning off compatibility mode, saving settings as administrator, reversing these settings, trying them again, starting from scratch... absolutely EVERYTHING Apple advises, we've tried.
NOTHING is working AT ALL
For nigh on 2 hours (and that's just what has been spent today, trying to sort this out), this is what we get:
Just "Accessing iTunes Store" loading round and round and round at the top

I can not access the Itunes store. It will show me half of a progress bar and then diappear, and nothing comes up.

I have already tried uninstalling, and reinystalling everything with Itunes in the ordered specified by Apple Support, and yet still no change. I made sure it was allowed through Firefox, and everything checks out.....I'm stumped. My only other thought is...I am wondering if it has to do with me installing Spotify. Anyone have a clue?

I tried turning off my accelerators, and still no change. I also tried to repair I tunes....no change.......I can update my ipods and do EVERYTHING else.....I just cant access the store. I tried something else today...dont remember exactly what it was, lol...but I got a message that said Itunes wasnt connected to the internet...so at least I know what the problem is....I just wish I could fix it..............

I can not connect to Itune store and event tried to connect to support network and error message came up I am not connected to internet which I clearly am

Can anyone help. I cannot access Itunes it simply runs for ever without a error message. I tried to get on Itunes support today and not get an error message you are not connect to the internet.
I have already give permission of itune on firewall in windows, but this has zero effect
I have windows 7 (64bit), a BT hub and latest version onf Itune 64bit
I really want to use home sharing and get visuals for albumns etc

Where did you get this iPhone?
Was it new or second hand?
You have to sign out then sign in with the correct Apple ID and password.
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > do it here.

I'm trying to purchase extra items in an app on my iphone and It keeps saying can not connect to itunes store, and comes up as can not complete transaction. I updated my billing info because I had an expired card on my account but it's still not working.

Explained my problem in the subject

Hi Kylegundrum,
Try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your issue is resolved.

TS3694 Error message in App Store saying "Can not connect to iTunes Store"?

Just started using my iPad 3 that I just recieved for my birthday a few days ago. Last night went to download a new App from the App store, which was free. After hitting the "free" button and continuing on and hitting the "download App" button I received an error message saying "Can Not connect to iTunes Store" and the word "OK" under that to make it go away. I continued on with other games to see if it was just an issue with that one but no matter what i hit it says that same error message. I spent hours on the phone with Apple Support only to have the gentlemen have me save everything on my iPad onto my iTunes on my PC and then start to Restore to Factory setting and then was told if had any issues to call them back. I left the room for about 5 min. only to come back to have an error message saying "The ipad could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (3014). I was just wondering if anyone else is having any issues similiar to mine. Please advise. My next step is to call back up and ask to speak to a Support Specialist the gentlemen said..once it goes to the "restore" point regular tech support can not help he explained.. Just frustrated after spending over 1 1/2 hrs on the phone to have gotten nowhere and now have to call back and start again with something brand new.. I just think i got a lemon!!

This what Apple's iTunes specific error codes support article says about that particular error.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
