I cannot Sign in to the iTunes Store

I went to sign in to iTunes today and it will not happen. I have the latest verision of iTunes as of right now (11.0.2) and I am using Windows 7 on a laptop.
I can get to the store, but after I type the information in I get two errors.
We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unkown error occured (-50).
There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.
We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established.
There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.
I have never had a problem with iTunes like this before and the same two errors are occuring on both of my computers.
I have looked up some information online and have tried a few things, including disabling my antivirus. None of it worked.
Any suggestions?

I have the exact same problem:
We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unkown error occured (-50).
There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.

It's not a Windows problem. I'm using a Macbook Pro, Intel Core i5,  OS X 10.7.5
I've noted that itunes has for some time failed to automatically download TV shows that I have purchased as a season. New things come spontaneously only rarely, and when I "check for available downloads" I get nothing, but if I manually look the show up, episodes are nevertheless available to download. This problem above however, is more severe and I have only seen this today ( April 16, 2013).

  • HT2589 ibooks still gives me the following error message "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes Store."

    I've done all of the above suggested sign in methods, and yet ibooks gives me the following error message "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes Store."

    Found this in the forums here, it works.
    "OK...I think I have found a solution.  In settings, select tunes & app store.  click on Apple ID> View Apple ID>Payment Information. It appears it is not saving or requiring payment information to be updated. This worked for me."
    Thanks

  • Repeated Requests to "Sign in to the iTunes Store"

    I haven't been able to log in to the iTunes store via desktop (Mac) for about two weeks now.
    I can log in to iCloud and to web mail, as well as the iTunes store on my iPad and iPhone, without problem. I can also sign in to view my account in the desktop
    and successfully make use of iTunes Match.
    I cannot, however, make new purchases or download free items. I do not get an error message. I simply get the "Sign in to the iTunes Store" box over and over again each time I enter my (correct) password.
    Since I can do all of the other stuff, it's clearly not a password problem. I reset my password anyway. No change.
    This occurs on my computer as well as that of a co-worker -- so it's not my computer -- and my co-worker, on the same network, can sign in and make purchases, so it's not the network.
    I wrote iTunes Store support but was directed to an article (this one http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368) that doesn't really address my situation.
    Anyone else having this problem? Discovered a solution?
    Thanks,

    It's an issue with 11.0.3...
    Under investigation.

  • Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

    Where are you physically located?
    What country's Store are you using?
    The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
    Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

  • ITunes Match on Windows 7 64 iTunes 10.5.2 64 -  - please sign in again itunes match has encountered an error. Please choose sign out and then sign in from the itunes store menu and try again.

    Windows 7 64 itunes 10.5.2 64 - I receive the following error message when opening iTunes - please sign in again itunes match has encountered an error. Please choose sign out and then sign in from the itunes store menu and try again.
    When I try to sign out iTunes freezes and I need to shut down windows entirely to get it to open again.
    Has anybody been able to resolve this issue?

    After many annoying sign-in-out-iTunes-match-activation problems I found an easy solution for me. When the iTunes Cloud symbol is broken (and I should sign in again) I just deactivate my notebooks (Windows 7) Wifi (with Fn+F5 for my Thinkpad).Then I call up the Itunes store and iTunes tells my that there is no connection to the internet (most probaply this step is not necessesary). After manual re-activation of my Wifi iTunes seems to re-establish the connection and the Cloud symbol signalizes that iTunes match does work, again.
    Hope, this helps.

  • 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 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.

    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
    and here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
    Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

    I cannot purchase anything at the itunes store because I am being ask for my security questions, but I don't remember the answers. I tried going to appleied.apple.com but I won't allow me to change my security answerswithout answering the original questions. How do you change you security questions with out knowing them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here, and reset your security questions, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help or you don't have a rescue address, you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

    You can log out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap 'sign out' on the popup - you can then sign in with your account/
    If you synced any of your mum's apps to the iPad from your her computer then they will be tied to her account, so only her account will be able to download updates to her apps

  • ITunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and then Sign In from the iTunes Store menu and try again.

    this happens every week!!!
    iTunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and then Sign In from the iTunes Store menu and try again.

    I have Just upgraded my mac from Itunes 11.0 to itunes 11.02, this issue occured within hours of the updated.
    It seems to occur about every couple of hours for me, I can still access the apple store, but music match just dies with the message: "iTunes Match has encountered an error. Please choose Sign Out and then Sign In from the Store menu and try again."
    As it takes a good ten minuites for itunes
    If this is also occuring in Itunes 11, the previous Discussions are probably not relevant.
    Itunes 11 has had significant changes applied, so it would be reasoble to assume this is not the same fault and Apple have some how broken Itunes again.
    I might try to downgrade to itunes 11.0, as it looks like music match faults are not high on apples priorities, it looks like took them almost a year to fix this fault last time it occured.
