"Itunes could not connect to Itunes store. The network timed out."
I can surf the web fine.
I've problems for two days now. I phone apple care they said "sorry I can't help" and hanged up on me, so that was helpful
Hope someone can help

I had the same problem !
I eventually contacted my ISP which is Orange and to my surprise they were aware of the problem ad said it would be sorted soon.
6 hrs later I was able to open iTunes.

    I keep getting this error message when I try to log into Itunes, has anyone else seen this error?  If so how did you fix it?

    Have you disabled any firewall and security/antivirus programs?  This seems to have helped the vast majority of people who have posted the same problem in this forum.

  • ITunes could not connect to iTunes Store.The network connection was refused

    I'm getting the following error message when I try to access the iTunes store: "iTunes could not connect to iTunes Store. The network connection was refused."
    I have tried to change my DNS settings. I've also run the msconig prompt. Nothing seems to work. Do you have any suggestions? Please help. It would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    i have been having this same problem. it also seems like a ton of folks are. i think apple has dropped a huge ball on this one. luckily ther are MANY other places now to purchase music other than itunes. i think their business will fail unless they get on top of issues like this.

    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:

    iTunes could not connect to iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (-3212) - Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried alot of solutions and nothing seems to be working at all
    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:

  • Itunes could not connect to iTunes Store-Network timed out. Upgraded to 7.6

    I upgraded this morning and was able to buy tracks. Now I get "Itunes could not connect to iTunes Store.The Network connection timed out. Running Nework Connectivity Test shows everything ok. Apple Sw Update application shows the same behavior. All of my other applications and programs run normally. I can surf web ok.
    Can someone help me?

    Search the forums. This is an old problem. For almost everyone it's a Norton issue. I had to upgrade from Norton 360 V1 to V2 to solve the problem. With otehr versions of Norton people have been able to create an entry in the firewall's allowed sites and that fixed it. If nothing else call Norton. They should have had enough calls by now they'll be able to tell you how to fix it for your version of Norton.

  • Already tried FAQ, keep getting this message on iPhone and computer: iTunes could not connect to iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)

    Only happened after I got a new iPhone *(upgraded from 4 to 5c) and I downloaded the iOS 8.1.2 update.
    I've already tried everything on the FAQ page for this error, and nothing's worked yet.
    Error looks like this iTunes on my computer: iTunes could not connect to iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)
    Also won't connect on my iPhone after signing in.
    Just changed my password so it's not that, and I've already restarted my iPhone twice.
    PLEASE help. I just got an iPhone 5c and I want to download my old ring tones and alert tones!!!

    "Error 11556"
    This alert occurs when iTunes is trying to do something not allowed by the iTunes Store in that country.
    The most common example of this is trying to sign in while limited to iTunes U by Parental Controls.

    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

  • TS1424 iTunes could not connect to iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (-3237)

    Can anyone help with the error message, "iTunes could not connect to iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (-3237).

    I had a similar problem.  We've had multiple iPods, an iPod and my wife's iPhone 4s that sync just fine with our PC.  Unfortunately, I could not get my new iPhone 5 to sync with iTunes.  I kept getting an error message similar to the one that you are getting.
    I simply plugged the USB for the iPhone into different USB ports.  I am certainly not a computer expert, but my understanding is that some of the PCs have different types of USB ports.  Apparently, the USBs on the back of my Dell desktop won't allow me to sync the phone, but the USB port on the front works just fine.
    I'm not sure if this is a fix for everyone, but it worked for me.  Good luck!

  • Itunes could not connect to itunes store - an Unknown Error Occured (502 )

    PLEASE HELP !!!!!
    For the last 3 days I have been trying to login to the itunes store, but have recieved the message "Itunes could not connect to itunes store - an unknown error occured (502)" each and every time. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix the problem. I would really like to download some games onto my Ipod, but am having no luck.
    Thanks

    I have been getting the "cannot access" result for several days, even trying again repeatedly throughout the day and night. It may have started after the last Windows security update. I have not changed anything else on my system prior to this happening, nor have either of the ISP's I use. I agree "something" must have changed, but there seem to be a lot of other people experiencing this same problem. If you are one of them, did it start after applying the Windows update?

    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:
    iTunes for Windows: Overview of Music Store Errors
    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?
