I have been trying to open the itunes store unsuccessfully.  I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled.  My firewall is not blocking.  I'm at a loss about what I can do.

Please, I need help getting into the itunes store.  I've tried everything.  Even had a computer forensics expert take a look and he could not figure out the problem.

It worked for me, for iTunes Store and Safari both!
They were overloading my CPU heavily, esp with some background services. And all the web pages stayed blank. So, I've found this solution:

Once it opens, type in the following command:
netsh winsock reset
hit enter
(then wait for some time)
You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer. 
Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.

    I have been trying to download the movie Prometheus onto my Ipad. It sticks at 793mb and hasn't moved for hours. I have 48gb of space on my i-pad and have hard resetted and turned off and switched back on, always reconnecting with wi-fi immediately. It doesn't resume?
    I haven't even received an email stating I have been charged for it???
    Any ideas??

    Well I have an update. I decided to stay as I was so far down the road. They gave me an engineer appointment of 14 of August which was totally disgusting.
    I rang up to complain and was promised a call back as they tried to expediate my request. Never happened.
    Whilst on these calls I also questioned the validity of sending another engineer unless they first checked that my local cabinet hard an available fibre port. I was promised and promised that they would put the notes on the call and it would not be a wasted engineer visit.
    Engineer came today. Wasted visit - no ports on the cabinet.
    He was not even sure why he was sent there knowing there were no ports. Talk about the blind leading the blind.
    The incompetency of this corporation is absolutely astounding even when their customers are telling them they are going to fail they lie to your face just to appease you on the phone and move you on.
    So I ordered my switch from sky to BT on June 6th.. and so far all I have is a phone line.
    On top of this I noticed that they have charged me a late payment fee by DD and full line rental for first month. BT were so slow at installing it all that my up front line rental apparently did not cover their initialy switch over. Despite telling me I would not be charged I have been charged.
    Now as a web designer I am now tempted to create basic website and use my SEO skills to push it to top of google rankings sharing with everyone of my experience of BT.

    Here is what worked for me:

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • After the ios7 update I have been unable to open the i-tunes store on my i-phone5, it basically flashes up for two seconds and then closes itself down, anyone else had anything similar and no a fix?

    Since updating to ios7.0.2 on my i-phone5 I have been unable to open the i-tunes store app, basically it just opens for a second or two then shuts itself down, I've tried a soft reset, turning on and off, closing down all running apps but nothing seems to work, anyone else had the same problem and no how to fix it?

    Hey there Fistycuff,
    It sounds like iTunes launches for a split second, then quits unexpectedly.
    I would recommend a few things for this issue. First, close all the running apps on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the phone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

  • I live in Australia but when I upgraded to IOS6 it changed my App Store region to the US. How can I change it back? I have been trying to find the answer.

  • I just purchased the SX60 and have been trying to find the way to change the "startup image".

    I just purchased the SX60 and have been trying to find the way to change the "startup image". I have the SX40, Sx30 SX1 and all allow me to change the startup image and the sounds through MyCamera. When I opened MyCamera, it tells me that it won't work on my model. Does anyone know how to change the startup image? In the menu it gives me the choice to either have it on or off. Thanks so much!

    Looks like Canon has changed what they ship with the newer cameras. My SX50 came with a disc & no paper manual. Because of that I searched the Canon site (USA site) & found the program set you need to download (according to what it says). Now there are different versions based on your operating system so for my search I've chosen Win 8.0 & the program file recommended is
    File Description   Date Size
    Digital Camera Software 4.3 [Windows]
    09/16/14

    I'm having this problem. It started yesterday. I have 2 updates, but when I open the App Store, they won't appear.
    Do you have apps purchased with a differnt AppleID?
    For example, mine shows 12 updates but only 2 show up as being available.
    The others are on my daughters account.
    I log out of my iTunes account and log in with hers and those updates show up.

  • I have been trying to change my apple id to my new email address and it says the id egsists what do i do

    i have been trying to change my apple id to my new email address and it says i cant as the id is in use what do i do

        If your new email address is an Apple-related email account (e.g., Mobileme account), you will get the 'email is already in use' message.  If this is the case, you cannot consolidate your old Apple ID with your new one.  I (and many others) have ran into this same issue.
          If this is indeed the cause of your problem, I recommend that you start using your new Apple ID exclusively.  If you made a considerable number of purchases under your old Apple ID (i.e., through iTunes), you will still  have to log in under your old ID for that account.
          Hopefully, one day Apple will allow us to consolidate accounts.
    I hope this helps.

  • I have been trying to change the generes for songs in my I tunes library but it doesn't allow me to do this. Does anyone know how.

    I have been trying to change the generes to some of my songs in my itunes library but it doesn't allow me to do this. Does anyone know how.

    Hello there, reginaairview.
    The following Knowledge Base articles offer some great information in regards to how to change the Genre information on music in iTunes:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
    Edit song or CD information
    Select the song or CD you want to edit, and choose File > Get Info (or press Control-I).
    Click Info and make your changes.
    Tip:   If you’re changing the same information (for example, the genre) for multiple items, you can select all the items and change the information for them at the same time.
    Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
    Additionally this article provides some good screen shots of where that is changed under "Editing and arranging content" section:

  • For the last 10 days I have been unable to open the Mail account on my eMac (MacOS10.4.11). When I click on the icon in the Dock the only option I get is "Force quit" and the main Mail bar will not open any  choice. Any ideas?

    For the last 10 days I have been unable to open the Mail account on my eMac (MacOS10.4.11). When I click on the icon in the Dock the only option I get is "Force quit" and the main Mail bar will not open any  choice. Any ideas?

    You can setup Mail for iCloud on the eMac.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password

    I have a new hp tower running windows 8.1 and have been trying to install the adobe reader.  The installer downloads (1meg) and I choose to run it but it just sits with an empty screen.  I've checked task manager and it takes up memory but does nothing.  After letting it run for 3-4 minutes I kill the task.  What can I do to get the reader installed on this machine?  I've tried using chrome, firefox and explorer and get the same results with each.

    Try the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
