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 ;(

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.

  • Could not purchase "Mr. Hurricane". The network connection was reset.

    Anybody else getting "network connection was reset" when trying to get the free USA single of the week?
    My 8.01 network diagnostics say everything's OK. I get the same message when trying to look at my account.

    Yea, I'm getting an error also, although it's a different one (-4 I think is the number) and it screws my whole OS up and I have to reboot. I can't get any of the other free titles or redeem Starbucks free singles. They must be having some server issues. Usually clears up later in the day when I have problems like this.

  • We could not complete your Music Store request.  There is not enough memory

    I have been using iTunes successfully on my PC, Mac Mini and MacBook Pro. I upgraded to the latest iTunes on my MacBook and Mini and then bought an album. iTunes on my MacBook asked me to authorize the computer (which it was already, weird). When I tried to do this, I got the following error:
    We could not complete your Music Store request. There is not enough memory available.
    There was an error in the Music Store. Please try again later.
    Every time I try to authorize after getting this message, my authorization number goes down from 5 to 0. What gives? This was working yesterday.

    I have this same problem. It's like it is not Authorizing this Mac.
    What happens when you try to listen to a preview on the Music Store?
    Mine asks me to authorize again and gives me the error exactly as you said above.
    What happens when you try to view your account information (in Music Store, click on your account name in the top right corner)?
    Mine lets me authorize sucessfully and shows me my account information.
    I have emailed iTunes support about this and they replied with a generic answer about Deauthorizing and re-authorizing the computer.
    I even tried, to no avail, the tips here...

  • TS3297 Tried to copy a movie from my iTunes account to my iPhone and keep getting this message--.  iTunes could not copy "L.A." to the iPhone "Michael's iPhone" because of a timeout occurred.

    Tried to copy a movie from my iTunes account to my iPhone and keep getting this message…….  iTunes could not copy "L.A." to the iPhone "Michael's iPhone" because of a timeout occurred.

    I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
    Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
    Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems.

  • "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.

    When I sync my 3g iPhone to my laptop - windows , I am getting a new message that "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
    Can anyone help me to solve this issue ? relly its a major problm

    iTunes is running into a conflict between mail account information already on your iPhone and the accounts you are trying to sync.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer. In the Advanced section under the Info tab, check the box next to "Mail Accounts". This will replace the mail account info on your iPhone with the accounts you are trying to sync.
    If this does not work, then reset your sync history by opening the iSync application, going into the preferences, and clicking Reset Sync History.

  • I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet "

    iTunes told me to delete my backup folder when I was having problems syncing my phone to my computer. After that it wouldn't work at all. After trying and trying I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet ". What the **** itunes? Nothing is working!!
    I wanted to update my iTunes so I could sync my phone to my computer and update my phones software so I can use the latest apps that need a 4.2 or higher.
    This is not fun for me so if anyone knows what I can do to fix this please help. Is it possible to download the "cabinent file" with the lastest iTunes?
    Thank you.

    My phone is the iPhone4 and my computer is a Windows Vista

    I doubt that corrupt files are the problem. It is more likely a space or permissions issue. Is the hard-drive on which iTunes is stored close to capacity? Do you (or the particular user profile you have logged on with) have the requisite permissions to save to that drive?
    Otherwise, do you get an error code? This might point us in the right direction.

  • ITunes could not copy "insert song" to the iphone "insert name of iphone" because the file could not be read

    It's about time i posted something about my problem because i've searched everywhere and I did not get the answer i wanted.
    When i try to put a song (Drag and Drop) from my Library to my Iphone, the message "iTunes could not copy "insert song" to the iphone "insert name of iphone" because the file could not be read" shows up. I have no idea how to fix this, I haven't seen apple answer to a single one of these threads either.
    I've only seen users try to answer this question.
    Anyways, when i put the songs on my Iphone, it is also grayed out. There is also a dotted circle (symbol) beside the checkmark of the song.
    I've tried creating a AAC version of all the songs already. No luck
    Please help

    Two possibilities come to mind.
    Check your source hard drive for errors, right-click on the drive holding the library, click Properties, tools, check for errors, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors...
    Or...
    Repair Security Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

  • TS3833 I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

    I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

    Right click the filename that won't download and selsct 'Get Info'. Look at the file path, does it have a //?// in it? That is a problem with Amazon downloads that prevent iTunes from finding the file. Use 'Add Folder' to add the album to your library and try syncing it again

  • ERROR: itunes could not sync mail accounts to the iphone etc.

    Brand new iphone owner. Day two. The initial sync was fie, on the next sync I got the the following error message."iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iphone (my name) iPhone because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone. Close the mail accounts settings on the iPhone then sync again."
    I can't find this one in other discussions. HELP!

    You can either setup your mail account settings manually or sync your settings to your phone. If your mail accounts are already setup on your phone, there is no need to have this box checked in itunes.
