ITunes (and Safari) won't connect; Firefox fine

I'm not having any difficulty accessing the internet through Firefox, but iTunes (and Safari, for that matter) don't seem to be connected. I've tried checking the proxies for both of them and nothing appears set in the wrong way. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Despite recent reports to the contrary, the iTunes Store is seeing record traffic and is actually experiencing connection problems. It is possible that your connection via FF is a fluke of the moment.
If this problem still continues over the next week (once the kiddies go back to school), let us know.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
You need iTunes version 10.7

After downloading last update itunes and safari will not connect but mozilla and internet explorer does running windows vista

Itunes and safari will not connect after installing the last update, but mozilla and internet explorer does.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

3G issues (full bars w/ 3G, but apps and safari won't connect)

I recently got the 3G iphone 16gb and right now it has this problem:
I would turn on 3G and get full bars and the 3G icon would appear, but when I try to open gmail and update, it would not connect and pop an error message "unable to retreive..." or take a really long time and not do anything at all. Same goes for Facebook app and Safari.
Upon the failure of the app the bars would drop to zero, the 3G icon would dissappear. I would press the home screen and exit, and while it idles in the main screen, bars would go back to full and 3G would appear again.
I would try to open Safari or apps again, and the process is repeated.
I called FIDO my provider, and they suggested a hard restart. It worked... for 5 minutes.
2nd time around I called and they suggested that since I was using a SIM card back from 2005, I needed the 3G enable SIM from the iPhone when it was delivered to me. Switched the line to the new SIM that came with it, and still no luck.
Hard resets, restarts, have no effect in solving the problem. And the funny story is, I was using the 8gb 3G before this 16gb with the old 2005 SIM and it worked perfectly.
Is it possible that something is wrong with the phone? I've made an appointment in the genius bar, but can anyone shed some light?

I started having a similar problem 3 days ago. I'm with Rogers and new SIM card (never was on Rogers previously). I usually stay on 3G. I've done a restore (without backup) on iTunes, reset network settings, hard restore....no luck.
I can make & receive phone calls just fine. Safari is either slow or times out (server stopped responding) and same with e-mail.
I seem to do better with 3G disabled.
I have had my phone for more than 4 months without a problem...until Dec 2.
Personally, I'm beginning to think it's something with the Rogers/Fido network in certain cities, but no one at Rogers/Fido will admit to it.

Itunes and safari won't open

My itunes stopped working after I came back from vacation. I tried uninstalling everything and updating to 10.1 but it won't open. When I click it, it shows up in the task manager for a moment and then disappears with no error messages. Quicktime works fine but when I downloaded and installed safari it won't open either.
Then I created another user account and tried it there and it doesn't work. It also looks like the plugin for adobe acrobat has stopped working as well. I have to right click and save as to view pdfs. I tried disabling the bonjour service and restarting the computer but it still doesn't work.
Any ideas? I have windows 7 x64 professional
Thanks

Still having the same problem I'm getting a distnoted.exe *32 that pops up in the taskmanager for a short time after trying to open it. I did get this after creating another user account: Itunes has stopped working

My airport express and utility won't connect....

I'm receiving errors when trying to connect either Airfoil or Aiport Utility.
Airfoil keeps telling me that I need to turn it on.
Aiport Utility recognizes that the express it there but yet won't connect in order for me to configure. It gives me the error message "Make Sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)"
I've restarted the Express, I've hard reset it. I've reinstalled the Airport Utility and still no luck. I've even tried connecting through itunes and it won't connect. Itunes recognizes that my express is there it just won't connect.
I've upgraded the aiport utility to 5.5.3 and the Airport Express to 7.6.
Is anyone experiencing this problem and if so, have you resolved it? After doing extensive searches online it doesn't seem that anyone has figured this out and possibly a problem with the firmware!
Let me know please!

d Pacifist to reinstall both the Safari
application and the WebKit framework
was that before the 10.4.6 combo was applied?
Nope, I tried the Pacifist route after applying the combo update.
It does sound as if webkit is busted at the moment.
What version of osx is on your install disks?
Not sure, I'll have to check them.
I'd like to avoid a archive & install, but I'm beginning to think it's my only remaining option.

Connecting wirelessly in Itunes and Safari

Since yesterday,I cannot connect wirelessly with Safari and itunes. My router is working just fine. I did an archive install and still nothing. I tried dumping the safari and reinstalling it again, and nothing. Apple support doesn't know what's up. Firefox and netscape works. I can connect to the internet. But not with Itunes and safari. What's going on?!
IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

OK, I resolved this - at least on my machine.
Safari, iTunes, internet-based widgets, and software update could all not connect to the internet. In contrast, mail had no problem. Firefox also had no problem.
I tried clearing out some of the .plist files associated with the above, and this did not fix the problem.
Finally, I looked at my proxy settings (HTTP and HTTPS) and they were set to a proxy server that was associated with a place I'd been visiting. After clicking these off and restarting, everything worked just fine.

Safari won't connect to internet; Firefox will ???

Safari won't connect to internet; Firefox will???
Wierdest thing. For some reason Safari won't browse or connect to the internet anymore. When I open Safari the default address is in URL bar, but with highlighted (words only) in blue and it just sits there all day. I can't connect to any web site on the net.
However, if I open Firefox all is fine and my Mail is all fine also.
I've repaired permissions a few times and even trashed the preferences for Safari, restarted computer etc, but it still refuses to actually display anything. I get a blank white page, then after about 2 minutes it simply says "Safari can't open the page. Because the server stopped responding".
As I said, no problem with Firefox.
Any ideas.

I thank you for getting me into the right ball-park otherwise I would not have spotted it.
You're welcome. Glad I could help.

Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open

A week ago, Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open but other applications will, like Mozilla, iPhoto, Word, Excel, etc. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get Safari and the other programs to open? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi, I'm replying to myself to add more information on my case. I wasted half my day yesterday trying to fix this, looking into forums and trying to talk to people about it and there it absolutely no answer. Yesterday I installed the programs necessary to sync my phone in my wife's macbook and nothing bad happened. So I'm guessing it isn't about the phone plugins I installed. I've tried to download combo updates but they crash as soon as I try to install them - I even tried to install a 10.4.10 update.
This is the error message I get:

I put part of in on google to check if there was anybody discussing anything related and someone suggested - bizarrely enough - updating adobe reader. I did it just in case and, of course, it didn't work. I repaired permissions a million times already, I rebooted in safe mode, I scaned the computer with apple jack, I verified the disk with diskutility - which showed nothing. I tried downloading an anti-virus (ClamXav), but I couldn't open it also, I trashed my prefs, I deleted all internet plugins, but still.... nothing. I'm about to quit and take it to the very expensive - yet reliable - authorized tech support apple has in Rio. Any ideas, anyone?

Did you try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article?

My iphone 5 is stuck on a screen displaying the itunes symbol and a charging cable. I tried connecting it to itunes and it won't recognize it or anything. what can i do?

Turn it off by holding home+ power button untill the screen goes black ( as soon as it goes black, release the buttons).. This might take some practice , so dont worry if on the first try your phone reboots and goes to itunes screen again.
Now, with your phone powered off, enter DFU mode:
Method 1)
Attach the phone to the pc
Turn the phone off
Hold power and home together for *exactly* 10 seconds
Release power but keep holding home until the pc beeps as a USB device is recognized.
Whilist in dfu mode, itunes will recognize the device and it will ask you if you wish to restore it. Simply click restore, and the restoring proces will begin.
This will hopefully fix your iphone.
Cheers

HT201263 Iphone 4 won't restore on Itunes and is stuck in connect to Itunes screen

My phone updated on its own. I didn't want the new i 0S 7 because I have an Iphone 4. Somehow my phone when i wasn't on it went to a black screen with the apple logo and a progress bar. I restarted it, connected it to itunes, and it won't restore because my phone is rejecting the update.

Take it to an Apple authorized repair center or Apple Store Genius Bar. The home button defect is NOT a software problem.

I cannot connect to itunes store but my network connections are fine and I have tried everything on the itunes support site. I just want to authorize my computer. Can anyone help?
