ITunes could not connect to iTunes store. The Host is down.

I'm trying to connect iTunes to the the iTunes Store to update the software and access my library online. I keep getting this error message even though I have full Internet access since I'm online typing this right now and I have email via Mail and Outlook and I can use Safari or FireFox to connect to the Internet just fine.
The message box also includes " Make sure your network connection is active and try again. "
Any suggestions / help would be much appreciated.

Resolved. Found that Little Snitch Firewall was accidentally marked to deny connections to iTunes Store.

After update ios 7.1 Could not connect to App store

Last night i updated my ipod 5g to ios 7.1.But this morning i could not   connect to App store or iTunes Store.
Any solutions??

See what you did not yet do here
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Adstrtal.sh: Database connection could not be established. Either the database is down or the APPS credentials supplied are wrong.

In our R12.1.3 EBS, on RHEL 5.5, 64-bit, we are getting this error -
adstrtal.sh: Database connection could not be established. Either the database is down or the APPS credentials supplied are wrong.
However, neither the db is down nor the APPS password is wrong. I am able to connect from sqlplus from application tier. And also from the 10.1.3 home. I have checked similar threads here but none helped. Raised an SR yesterday but that too hasn't helped yet.
Any ideas?

Hi, clara_from_brazi.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend when experiencing this issue. Also, test connecting the external storage device to the computer with another cable as this can be the issue.

ITunes could not connect to Music Store. The network connection was reset.

For 3 days now i've been unable to connect to iTunes music store, every time with the same error message (above). Yes I'm connected to the internet, no I do not have this problem with any other software/site.
I miss my music ;(
- Thank You,

Ok, this is an update and then I'm going off to bed, so if anyone has any bright ideas I will see them first thing.
I now wonder if limewire may be the problem, even though it is 'listening' currently on port 33782 which is nowhere near to iTunes or anything else for OS X. Why? Because up until today, I could only connect to limewire during the daytime - evenings and weekends it wouldn't connect and discussion forums suggest that tiscali (my ISP) is one of the worst offenders for blocking UDP traffic at peak times and may be specifically targeting limewire. Today, when I have had the problem with iTunes Music Store, I have been able to connect to limewire all day and all evening, no problems.
However the problem with this theory is that when I could connect previously to limewire only during the day, I could still connect to the Music Store as well at the same time. So it may be irrelevant.
I have checked everything else from the article - the discussion boards, keychain access, firewall, it all checks out. So if anyone has any ideas about this, I'd be very happy.

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:

ERROR MESSAGE 401 - ITUNES COULD NOT CONNECT TO MUSIC STORE

Problems connecting to the iTunes Music Store usually stem from issues with the Windows firewall, a privacy filter (such as Mcafee) or a download accelerator. Start here:

for some basic tips to start isolating the cause of the problem. Your ISP (or your network administrators if you're on a company network) may have also changed something that is now blocking access.
Hope this helps.

ITunes could not connect to Music Store

Okay here's my problem: When I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, it wouldn't open after the download was complete. So I went into the discussion about iTunes not opening and found this msconfig thing that you could do in order to make your computer start up differently. It told me to go to Start, click on Run. Then type in msconfig and hit enter. And after that I needed to change the startup selection to 'selective startup' and deselect 'load startup items'. Then I was supposed to go to the Startup tab and select only qttask and iTunesHelper. Next it told me to go to the Services tab and make sure that 'Hide all Microsoft Services' was selected. And Disable All. Then it told me to select iPodService. Then click okay and restart my computer. Now after I did all of this, iTunes opened. But when I tried to play my purchased music it gave me a message that said 'This computer is not authorized to play '_' (it said the name of the song here). Would you like to authorize it?'. And below there it had a space for me to type in my password, but my Apple ID was already typed in for me. So I did it correctly and typed in my password and clicked on Authorize....then I got an error message that said 'iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was refused'. I just figured that I typed in my password wrong and clicked on the purchased song again but this time I clicked on forgot password, but then got the same error message. It's been a difficult for the past few weeks not being able to listen to my favorite music. Could someone please help me, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now. I tried calling Apple Support, but since you are only able to use it for 90 days, they wouldn't help me. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Hi, I get the same error when I try to connect to Music Store or even get the songs info from my original Cd's, like song info and album art, it shows:
iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was refused.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.
I did try everything, I checked the windows firewall, the antivirus program's firewall, the LAN's router configuration and in all of them Itunes and all the Ipod related programs have permission but it still can not connect to the music store. Is there any way to solve this?
Thank you

COULD NOT CONNECT TO NOKIA STORE

Hi All,
when I try to connect to Nokia store via my mobile phone Nokia C7-00 it says first Nokia Store Update Required (versiob 3.30.018-21.1 MB)
I download it couple of times and once it try to install it says update error...
So I was trying to up date it via my lap top(windows 7)
whene I try to connect thru Nokia Suite it says could not connect to server
I did check all my fire wall setting no success...
any one can help Pleaaaase.

If you need to complain directly to nokia you need to write a good old fashioned letter to the nokia office in your country. As an example I know people in the UK who have had good return communication and good end results after doing this. I believe it's a legal requirement that all written complaints have to be replied to in the UK, but not totally sure.
You can get the address by contacting nokia care by telephone and asking them for the complaints address.
Be aware though that nokia will never directly supply you with spare parts that are not designed to be changed by the end user. It is totally against their policy, just like many other manufacturers.
The only sources of parts to the end user are online stores or ebay but fitting is always at your own risk and cannot be discussed here. Some totally independent (not chains like CPW) care points may also supply parts, at their discretion.

ITunes could not connect to music store. An Unknown error has occurred.

I get the above message when I try to log into the ITune store. The error code that I get is -9813. My password is current and my account is current and I followed all of the other suggestions such as:
1. Resetting the date and clock on the computer.
2. I replaced the mother board battery so I won't be affected by the above problem.
3. Unplug the modem and the router then start the computer back up to make sure that there are no problems with these two items.
4. I am running the latest version of iTunes 6.0.5
5. I can log in from another MAC (power book) using my account so it isn't the ISP blocking me from phobos.apple.com
So far this has been happening for a few days and is very frustrating. Any ideas will be appreciated. I will also check with the Genius bar at the local apple store to see if they have any ideas.

Itunes could not connect to store, the network connection was refused.

Safari doesn't work either because it "could not connect to server" but the wierd thing is that Mozilla Firefox works.
Could someone help me out??
Thanks

For all who are still fighting this problem. I figured out why it stopped for me... Web Proxy was set (turned on) for the local machine (127.0.0.1).
I had installed and subsequently removed the trial version of KidsGoGoGo, a parental control application for MAC. I had tried everyone elses suggestions for fixing this iTunes Store connection problem - all to no avail. I last tried the OpenDNS solution which also did nothing... Although I may stick with it to see if it truly speeds up name resolution. Changing my DNS entries reminded me that one of the steps in configuring KidsGoGoGo was to set up web proxy to point to the local machine (127.0.0.1). I looked at the settings there, and realized it was still set. I removed the check for web proxy... and now all is well.'
Hope this helps someone else.

Michael

Could not connect to repository (JDESSELocal)

Hello,
I'm trying to connect to a Repository in ODI through SQL Server 2005 for JDBC driver and I get the error "Could not connect to repository". The database is an SQL Server 2005 installed by a E900 fat client package. See more detail below:
Invalid Repository Connection:
oracle.odi.core.config.MasterRepositoryDriverClassNotFoundException: ODI was not able to load the jdbc driver class provided on MasterRepositoryDbInfo. Please check that the driver class name "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver" is correct and that this driver is available to ODI classloader.
Regarding the Repository Connection Information, I populated the following:
Login Name: Test ODI
User: SUPERVISOR
Password: SUPERVISOR
User: OBIEE_ODI_REP (also tried with "sa")
Password: E1admin
Driver List: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Driver for JDBC
Driver Name: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Url: jdbc.sqlserver://localhost\JDESSELocal\JDESSELocal:3372
When I click on Work Repository help, the mentioned error appears. Any clue ?
Thanks in advance,

Could not connect to AIM. Change port doesn't help !

I have been using ichat for about three months without any problems.
It is tonight (22/10/06) that I cannot login while I was able to connect to the server in this morning. Nothing has changed in my router configuration.
The error message is "Could not connect to AIM. The specified host cannot be located.
I did search the forum here. The suggested solution is to change ichat port to 443 or 5191. It does not work for me.
At first I thought the server was busy. But I changed my mind since my friend can login.
My internet connection works normally. Nothing seems broken.
Oh another thing is both my username before @mac and passwords is 9 characters.
Please help.

Hi Omegaxxx,
At this stage I would try this.
Down load IPNetMonmitorX
It is free as a trail for a number of days.
Get it to do Port Scans on the UDP ports that iChat uses.
Do these one at a time for Ports 5060, 5190 and 5678 and then repeat for the group of twenty (16384-16403)
Now test it for TCP port Scans. (just port 5190 for AIM/@mac)
This will be the one to tell if the Login is working or not.
Repeat for any other port you have tried iChat to login with. (The AIM servers will allow login on almost any port: 443 is regarded as more secure as it is used for some Mail apps)
You will need to test to a specific IP address.
Use the ones listed by Ryan above.
If you are on a University or other large campus like a large business it may be that they have blocked the ports at a fairly local level.
If you opened the ports in your connection device with Port Forwarding and it is also using DHCP then check your computer is at the same IP that the Port Forwarding is pointing to.
