ITunes 9.2.1 won't connect to store any longer?

A certain expensive, work-necessary software that I use is keeping me from upgrading my laptop past OS 10.4.11 — just can't spend an extra $1000 right now for a work thing! Does this really mean that now I can't connect to the iTunes Store any longer, or even download my subscription TV shows (my Mad Men is waiting from last Sunday!). Ever since the iTunes 10 release, all I get is the error message, "iTunes cannot connect to the iTunes store at this time." For days.
Really? I must be something wrong, no?

Have exactly the same issue, old laptop stolen, bought new laptop,
imported account from time machine, library is invisible, at the botom of each section it tells you the number of films, tracks pod csts etc but there is no content.
If you look in the iTunes folder content is there... however there seems to be no upgrade file so maybe the iTunes library was not upgraded and iTUnes thinks it was....

Recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.5.5 - have an older G4 which is max'd out upgrade-wise - both processor and OS. At present Safari is 3.1.2. Itunes is 9.2.1. Itunes will not allow me to connect to store - says it requires Safari 4.0.3 - however, when I try to download Safari 4.0.3 or newer it says it requires an older version of the OS. What to do?

Update v10.5.5 to v10.5.8
Download and install the combo > Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update
Then restart your Mac.
That should update Safari for you to 5.0.6 and that should help with iTunes.
If necessary, after updating to v10.5.8, you can use the standalone Safari installer here > Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard

Hi,
What security software is running on the PC? The security software could be causing the issue, try to reconfigure or temporarily disable it.
You can also try flushing the DNS as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1527

IOS 8.2 , iPhone 6 plus , iTunes won't connect to store

since updating my phone iTunes no longer accepts my account or password giving me can't connect to store error message.
WOrked before , worked to sign in to here but won't on the phone.

As provided else where Store is currently unavailable probably since it is the middle of the night on West Coast when Apple would do maintenance
it is nothing to do with iOS 8 or any other iPhone issues
The servers are not available regardless of the method used to access Mac Windows PC etc etc

ITunes won't connect to store Macbook 2, 1

I have a late 2007 Macbook 2,1 that won't connect to the iTunes store or the App Store through wifi. It will work fine if it is connect with the ethernet cable. I've tried this on many different wifi networks and it has the same problem. I'm running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and iTune 11.0.2. It actually has never worked on previous versions of iTunes as well. Anyone know how to fix this?

Ok, I figured it out. It was a problem with my proxy settings. Go to System Preferences> Network> Click on Advanced. Then click on the proxies tab. Then make sure only Automatic Proxy Configuration is checked.
That's how I was able to fix the problem.

ITunes won't connect to store in Windows 7

When I try to get to the store, I get a message that reads:
Make sure your network connection is active and try again.
I made sure that I ran this as administrator and it still does it.
I don't know if this helps, but I can't get into other online games I have as well. This is a new laptop with Windows 7. I turned off the firewall for testing and I still can't connect to anything.
I read that iTunes goes through Internet Explorer to connect and to make sure that we aren't using a Proxy Server. I did this and we are set to automatically detect settings. It still didn't connect.
It was then that I found out that other online games aren't connecting that I have. I'm not sure what to do and would appreciate anything.

This is the exact same thing that I am having an issue with. Checked all my settings and preferences. I am logged in as the Admin. I have been searching and searching for a solution. I dont have this issue on any other computer so I am sure it is related to Windows 7.
Grrrr.....

My iTunes library in iCloud won't connect to my computer

Went to open iTunes this morning and all my music stored in iCloud won't sync up with my computer so I can't listen to my music. When I open iTunes, the iCloud symbol has a little lightning bolt in it and then just shows that it is trying to connect but won't. All my music is faded out in gray so I cannot play any of it. Anybody else having this problem?

In the menu bar, under Store, see if it says "Turn Off iTunes Match." Mine did, I selected it and: boom! I connected to icloud and could either play or download all my songs. Now, it says "Turn On iTunes Match." Hope this helps!

ITunes won't connect to store on Win7 64bit and iTunes 10.6.7.1 but connects fine on iPhone 4

Hi,
I am unable to connect to the store on iTunes 10.6.7.1 on Win7 64 bit. From my iPhone I can connect to the store. Any thoughts?

Could you walk us through what happens (when you attempt to connect to the store on the PC) in some more detail, please?

Itunes won't connect to store, or stream music after 10.5 update

I downloaded and ran the Itunes 10.5 executable to update to the latest version
When I start Itunes I get an error message that Itunes could not connect to the ITunes Store. The network connection timed out.
I ran the diagnostics, and a secure link to the store failed, though the internet connection was verified. When I tried to open the help file, it said that Itunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn't connect to the internet.
Edit: Itunes will no longer play any music streams

I am having a similar problem. I have two alienware laptops. One is brand new and the other is a few years old. The old one has been updated to windows 7 32 and the new iTunes works fine with it. The new one is the 64 bit and iTunes store and safari no longer work on it. When I try to acces the iTunes store it goes into turbo (overclock) mode and after a minute just displays a white page for iTunes store. When I ran diagnostics it says everything is working properly. Safari does the same thing. Turbo and a white page. I have been trying to fix this all day with out any success. I even completely restored the computer to see if that would help. I hope someone can figure this out before I have a melt down

ITunes 10.5 won't connect to store, can't download songs on IPhone 4

I have an IPhone 4 and tried to download some songs from ITunes on my phone. I received a message that I can't download songs unless I upgrade the iOS. Went to upgrade and received message I had to upgrade to ITunes 10.5. Did this, however now I can't connect to the store. I receive a message stating that the network cannot connect and to check my settings. I have followed everything on here, uninstalled, reinstalled, Microsoft Fixit, run as administrator, firewalls, proxy server, even removed my antivirus, nothing works. Very frustrated and not sure what else to try???

Itunes 10 loaded but won't connect to internet!

I have just installed the Latest iTunes, and luckily it still picked up all of my music from previous itunes. But now when I import a CD it will not pick up the CD data i.e artist title etc. I am signed in here so internet is working, but when I sign in to the store it says :
*Itunes could not connect to itunes store. The network connect timed out*. Make sure your network settings are correct and you network connection is active, then try again.
Now I use Mozilla Firefox, have Avast and McAfee running. I have tried to sign in by disabling Avast, but that still didn't work.
Can anyone help, has it happened to anyone else??!?!?
Looking forward to all of your advice
Donna

No, there's no firewall running.

Updated to itunes 9: now Airtunes won't connect,

I unfortunately do not recall the last version of itunes I had.... it wasn't very old though.
The only reason I updated to 9 last night was the itunes store forced me to in order to get a new episode. Anyways...
after the update, upon starting iTunes, i get this dialogue:
"The software required for communication with this ipod is not installed correctly...."
Then it asks me if I want it to repair. I say yes and it supposedly repairs it. If I restart itunes, it will say this error every single time.
I also cannot connect to my Airpor Express as a speaker output. it is listed, and when I select it, it brings up the 'connecting' dialogue which goes on FOREVER until I cancel it. ***?!?
I've uninstalled itunes, apple application support AND apple mobile device support and reinstalled itunes. I've unplugged the airport express; re-configured it using the Airport utility, updated the firmware and still I have both of these problems after all this.
WHY OH WHY did itunes make my update to download new store episodes...
Can anybody help me diagnose this?
Thanks
Ryan

Actually it's quite helpful... the more people who confirm there is an issue the better... maybe apple will take it more seriously.
I called apple support yesterday and they tried to pin the issue on anything/everything related to my setup, didn't even give consideration to the fact there might be an itunes 9 bug. To be fair they are probably just going through all the steps first....
They suggested I disable the wireless on my Linksys WT45G since I'm only using it for wired connections, which I did to no avail. My setup goes ATT DSL modem > Linksys WT45G (PC wired to this) > Airport Extreme Base > Airport Express, only the Express is wireless (using the 3 ports on the extreme for other stuff).
They asked me to try plugging the extreme and airport in a different room as if this is somehow wireless interference. Nevermind the fact I'm currently on my wife's laptop with 8.2.1 and I can connect to the Airport Express with absolutely no problem.
Going to call them back and be adamant that this is in no way an issue with my setup, its an issue with itunes 9!
Out of curiosity, is anybody having this issue connecting their Express with ethernet instead of wireless? That's about the only thing I haven't tried yet but will today... but like I said I'm already using all 3 wired ports on the extreme.

ITunes 7.01 (AirTunes) won't connect to speakers ... STILL

this update to the update fixed NOTHING. itunes still times-out when trying to connect to speakers. iPV6 is configured to 'automatic'.
what a disappointment.

Hi Tom,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I experience no problems accessing my external speakers via iTunes/Airport Express. With that said:
- have you tried resetting your Airport Express unit using the AirPort Admin Utility application in your Utility folder?
- did you "repair permissions" via disk utility in your Utility folder after the 7.0.1 update.
- confirming you updated Quicktime to 7.1.3.
- confirming too there was no installation problem with iTunes 7, QT, or 7.0.1
One other possibility is to move to the desktop your iTunes preference file (com.apple.itunes.plist) and restart iTunes.
