Itunes cannot connect to iTunes store error 306

Hi, I think I originally posted this on the wrong forum. So I will repost and hope for the best.
Up until recently I used to connect to the internet via airport and everything worked fine. I could connect to iTunes store no problem.
The connection was all set up by the local phone company and somehow they connected the iMac to airport via a modem.
I know that this appears to defeat the point of airport but it worked fine.
I had connection problems with the modem (it was old and needed replaced) that was attached to the airport and iMac. I arranged for the telephone company to come and replace the modem. However, although they replaced the modem and the internet connection is fine.
What they did not do was to reconnect the Airport device and now I cannot connect with iTunes store. Now instead of connecting to the internet via the Airport connection I now connect via Ethernet
The error message I get is
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occured (306).
Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
I think that if someone could advise how I stop trying to connect to the iTunes store via Airport but via an Ethernet connection
iMac intel Mac OS X (10.6.6)

iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1490 ) and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
To reset iTunes Store cache:
In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the "Reset cache" button.
Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
Open iTunes.
Access iTunes preferences:
On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Parental Controls tab.
Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.

this will sound odd... but make sure your time zone is set correctly.... SETTING, GENERAL, DATE & TIME and make sure SET AUTOMATICALLY is turned ON... i had a similar problem and this fixed it.... good luck

After trying all kind of possible solutions Itunes cannot connect to the store. Windows 7

ITunes cannot connect with this iPad Error/iOS 5 problem

It appears that ever since upgrading to iOS 5 and opting to sync my first gen iPad wirelessly, I have been receiving an error message each morning stating "iTunes cannot connect with this iPad..."
The wireless sync capability works fine, I plug my iPad into the wall when I come home, and it starts pushing and pulling all the new apps that I've downloaded in the day.
It appears that iTunes is will regularly try to connect with the iPad while it is charging. At some point during the evenings, either my iPad will be asleep or my iMac will be asleep. I think this is where the connection problem is arising.
Does anyone know how to change iTunes' frequency of wireless sync to a device that it is wirelessly connected to? Ideally, I'd like it to only sync wirelessly once when I plug the iPad into the wall.

See if this page helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221

You need to first disable your antivirus and security programs and see if you can load the itunes store then. If so you know its antivirus blocking you.
Secondly due to xmas the itunes store is seeing a HUGE amount of people who got new ipods and/or gift cards. Yes Im sure apple tried to prepare for this but they can only estimate how many extra people they will have. Also SOME ISPs in local areas are limiting access for there costomers to the itunes store to save on overloads on there servers. Far as all this goes (If this is why your not able to connect) it should normalize after new years when people go back to work and school. Seems alot of people post about this issue during peak times which are normally between 8pm and around 10 pm when most people are on

Error message: iTunes cannot connect to music store....

I have been trying everything for the past day and a half and I still can't get my music store to work?? Everytime I open it I get an error message saying:
Make sure your network connection is active and try again
Can someone please help me?

The same thing happened to me so I sent an email to apple. Honestly, I can't make any sense out of it but maybe you can. This is what they sent to me:
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble connecting to the iTunes
Store.
I have verified that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting
connections, which indicates that the issue is related to your internet
connection, local network, or your local computer itself.
iTunes has a great new feature called Network Diagnostics that can help
you diagnose and resolve issues that prevent you from connecting to the
iTunes Store.
First, make sure you're using iTunes 7.0 or later, which is available
free of charge at the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
Now follow these steps to use Network Diagnostics:
1) Make sure that you have an active Internet connection.
2) Open iTunes.
3) Choose Diagnostics from the Help Menu.
4) Select Network Diagnostics and click Run.
The Network Diagnostics interface will help you identify and resolve
any network issues that are affecting your ability to connect to the
iTunes Store.
Please note that certain types of software can affect the way a
computer sends and receives information from the Internet. Here are a few
examples of these types of software:
* Virus and/or worm protection software
* Web accelerators
* Ad filters
* Firewalls
If you have any of this software, and if you cannot access the iTunes
Store, you will need to configure these applications to allow iTunes to
connect to the internet.
Please refer to the documentation that came with that software, and if
necessary contact the software's manufacturer. You'll need to configure
the software to allow these domains to send and receive data from the
Internet:

ITunes cannot connect to the store, nor can I activate my Touch.

My iTunes hasn't been able to connect to the store EVER on this machine. Naturally, without a functioning iPod or iPhone, this hasn't bothered me. Of course, now that I've got a touch, it's a little annoying.
I can't activate my touch, and I can't get at my purchases.
Here is the log from the diagnostic. I have tried flushing the DNS cache, I do not run a firewall, I have reinstalled iTunes (wiping it's registry details as I went), I have activated port forwarding on my router to some port I saw suggested. Please help!

SO we rule out Winsock provider issue.
Can you try these entries in command prompt (Run as Administrator for Win7/Vista) one at a time?
ipconfig /release
then
ipconfig /renew
restart computer
ipconfig /flushdns
totally shut down computer then restart.
netsh winsock reset all

Now test your iTunes again. If that does not work, uninstall your Antivirus program and test again.

Itunes cannot connect to itunes store. an unknown error occurred (11556)

annoying. i can't access the itunes store, when i try to sign in it gives me this error code. please help.

Hello Embassykw,
It sounds like your iTunes Store page does not load and instead gives you an error code. I found this error code in an article that will be helpful for you named:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
The cause for these issues is a program that monitors the Winsock protocol for Windows conflicting with Apple software. These programs usually use a Layered Service Provider (LSP) that can help identify the particular program installed. The programs that monitor this protocol have a variety of purposes, including security software, content filtering, and optimization of network traffic.
Following the instructions should resolve the issue for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
