Is there a fix for "iTunes could not connect..."
On my work PC (XP), I often get the message "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store". It usually happens on my first attempts to access the store in the morning. It's also seems to be random but mostly occurs on my first attempts to access the store for that day. I click on various playlist, "Podcast", "Movies" and back to store. I can usually get it working that way. Any ideas what causes this?
I'm getting the same thing all day. Usually after the first load I close itunes then load it again and it works, but today, since the update I haven't been able to access the store or download any of my podcasts, this is a real pain since I just got a $25 gift card in the mail 8(

How do I fix this "iTunes could not connect to this iPod touch. Could not allocate a resource."
Believe I have my iPhone and iPod touch up to date, but now every time I plug in, I cannot update anything, and just get this message "iTunes could not connect to this iPod touch. Could not allocate a resource."
I have thrown out stuff in the Lockdown folder and done some things in Terminal app, but nothing fixes it.
Please help - thank you!See this post

Each time I try to connect to the iTunes store, this has popped up. I googled error (-3212) and also followed the steps on iTunes support. I downloaded the new itunes and chose "repair files" all to no prevail. I use iTunes on a daily basis and bought and iTunes card 2 weeks ago which I now cannot use. Does anyone know how to fix this?Just in case, let's try the following document:

why i see this massegae? (iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Make sure your connection is active and try again.)
Hey there Hannuj,
It sounds like you are unable to access the iTunes Store in the iTunes application. Based on the error message I would try the steps in the article here named:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1527
Remove pop-up blockers
Some pop-up or ad-blocking programs may interfere with the ability of iTunes to connect to the iTunes Store. Removing them in many cases will resolve the issue.
Flush DNS Setting in Windows
In some cases, the DNS information you computer uses to connect to the Internet needs to be reset. Follow these instructions to flush your Windows DNS information:
Windows XP
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open field type cmd and click OK.
In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return on the keyboard.
You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
Windows Vista and Windows 7
On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and chooseRun as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, clickContinue.
In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return on the keyboard.
You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
Note: If, in the command prompt, you see this message: "The requested operation requires elevation", close the command prompt and repeat steps 1 and 2 above to be sure that Administrator privileges are used to access to Command Prompt.

Hi,
For no apparent reason my phone stopped working...so I did a reset and got the message 'Restore Needed'. I connected to iTunes and got this message: 'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on your iPhone before it can be used with iTunes'.
The problem is, I can't enter my passcode because I'm not given that option on the iPhone. All I seem to be able to do is make an emergency call.
It's been working fine otherwise. Any suggestions?
This is the SECOND replacement iPhone I've had this week and I'm getting a bit fed up.
Thanks in advance for any help,Are you referring to the 4 digit passcode needed to enter the phone and use it's features?
If so reboot your iPhone and enter the passcode to get it operational. Launch Image Capture on the Mac and connect the iPhone. Now you should be able to download the video files to wherever you want on your hard drive.

Error message states iTunes could not connect because paring record is missing, how do I fix?
Error message states iTunes could not connect because paring record is message is missing, how do I fix?
Sometimes rebooting your PC can clear this error message. You might also want to try plugging the iPod into a different USB port as well.
Others have been able to fix it by unplugging their iPod from their PC, signing out their Apple ID on their iPod Touch, signing back in and reconnecting it.
