Hi Tracydoola,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  Based on the fact that you have tried a reinstallation of iTunes, it sounds like there may be a firewall or other security software preventing iTunes from communicating with its servers.  This article has steps you can try to resolve or isolate the issue:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

  • Cannot install itunes.   Keeps telling me to insert CD

    I'm having the exact same issue as in this discussion thread (but it never had an answer).
    : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4348080?tstart=0
    I try to install I tunes and it keeps telling me to insert CD-ROM or other removeable disk... what do I do?   I am attaching a screen shot of the prompt:
    Any help much appreciated!

    Thanks for the screenshot. That clarifies what we need to do with this one:
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" & "iTunes store temporarily unavailable"

    PROBLEM:
    Our iPhones, iPad, and iPod Touches all give us "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" message when we try to purchase an App or update Apps using Apple's "App Store" App. When using iTunes on our MAC desktop, which is used to sync all our devices, I'd select "Check for available downloads" from the Store Menu and would recieve the error message "Unable to check for available downloads. The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please check back later." All our devices and software were up to date. We had not upgraded to iCloud yet, allthough I don't think that matters.
    Note:
    - We were able to purchase songs on iTunes and access our iTunes account so we had access to iTunes Store, despite the misleading error messages. We just couldn't get the Apps to download or update.
    - This happened whether I was on my iPhone using our password protected WiFi, the non-password protected WiFi at the local Apple Store, as well as when I turned WiFi off and used 3G.
    I spent hours trying every solution offered on these discussion boards as well as an on non-Apple sites to no avail. I went to the local Apple store and after an hour and a half wait had someone at the Genius Bar check it out and say he couldn't fix it. I emailed Apple Help on this website and received a boilerplate reply pointing to 2 KBs that I'd already tried (support.apple.com/kb/TS1368) and (support.apple.com/kb/TS1398). When I replied I tried all that, and still needed help they pointed me to Apple Care. My husband called Apple Care who wouldn't talk to us because supposedly you can only purchase it during a window of time after buying your new device. Our iPad is the youngest at only 4 months old, so I don't know how that can be. Maybe he didn't want to pay for it just yet. I was ready to chuck these into the trash until my husband figured it out.
    So... if you're experiencing the same error messages, here was our fix. In hindsight it's so simple I can't believe it.
    SOLUTION:
    Went to the MAC desktop that we use to sync and update all our devices. In iTunes in the left hand column under "Store" click Download. The app at the top of the queue was "stuck" (similar to a printer that won't print because of a problem with the first job in the queue). Click the first App in the queue to get it downloading. That's it!
    Once they all chug through then you can start updating apps on your devices using the App Store app. Relief!
    I hope this helps someone because it was a frustrating experience!

    I had this exact issue.  However, I was not even able to "see" the pending downloads when I tried fixing them using the solution above.
    In another thread, I saw that someone mentioned an issue with the use of the "&" (ampersand) symbol in your appleID information.  I had recently changed my name and it did include the & symbol in my name (not the appleID itself).  I replaced the ampersand with the word "and" and saved.  I then went to the iTunes store and logged into my account there and made the same change on my billing name.
    Voila!  I could now access the 7 pending downloads on my desktop Mac and download them, and all iPhone/iPad/Ipods were again able to download from the app store.
    incidentally, I had several support tickets open on this issue and never once did the Apple person even suggest that this might be the issue. 

  • Cannot update apps because the store is 'temporarily unavailable'

    I just seem to have found another (but different) app store error.
    The indicator on my iPhone says I have one app to update but when I go to the store on my phone it says one of to things, either the store is temporarily unavailable or that it couldn't connect to the store. However I can still browse other parts of the store (charts, search, featured etc.).
    Tellingly once in the app store the 'update' button doesn't have the usual indicator on it telling me there is an app to update. Anyone had this problem? Is this a temporary server side issue?
    Thanks,
    Adam

    This is happening to me. Here's what's going on.
    I open the App Store on my iPhone 3G. I can browse apps via any of the "Tabs" at the bottom of the screen. However, when I click the "Update" tab, the "Loading..." message appears and then quickly after that I get a message that states: "The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    I know this this is not true because:
    1) I can browse the store via the other tabs and through iTunes on my comptuer 2) my friend who sits next to me at work, and who also has an iPhone 3G, can get updates. When I just asked him to check, he had updates available which he downloaded and installed without a problem.
    This problem has existed for 3 to 4 days now. This is not an issue of the store doing maintenance on their end or something like that. It's a problem on my iPhone.
    I have already had to restore this entire phone 2 times. I am not very happy about the prospect of having to do it all again. Please, please, please tell me there is something I can do to fix this without a restore.
    I have tried to connect to the store on Edge, 3G, and multiple different Wi-Fi networks (work, home, free wi-fi at a restaurant).
    Thanks!

    I have subscribed to the cloud package including Ps and Lr after previously downloading the Ps CC trial.

  • Cannot install Yosemite as it keeps telling me both my internal and external drives are time machine backups

    Cannot install Yosemite. Keeps telling me that both my internal and external
    drives are backing up with TIme Machine. Any suggestions?

    Is it actively backing up, or are you encountering a dialog stating that Yosemite cannot be installed because the disk is being used for Time Machine backups?
    Read OS X: Cannot install on a volume used by Time Machine for backups
    If for some reason you have a folder called Backups.backupdb at the root level of the hard disk on which you want to install Yosemite, move it to the Trash.

  • HT204074 I am trying to download apps to the iPad that we just purchased from iTunes.   I click on all the apps I want downloaded and it keeps telling me I need to authorize this computer .  I have done what they told me to do and still wont let me downlo

    I am trying to downloadapps onto the iPad we just purchased, and it keeps telling me that I need to authorize my computer.  I go ahead and authorize by going into iTunes/store/authorize computer, I verify the information that is given.  I go back and try to redownload the apps and I get the same exact message, this computer is not authorized for this device.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have been trying to work through this problem by myself and have so far downloaded the most current version of iTunes.  Frome there when it tells me I have to authorize this computer, I had to not put in the iPad information, I had to authorize with my current iTunes information, and any iPad or iPod, iPhone information.  I have several people in the family that have different accounts, so I had to authorize each and every individual account because I didnt know which apps or music was purchased under which user.  Hope this helps others....  Good luck!!
