Itunes could not connect to the Itunes store. An unknown error has occurred. (-3212). Help please!

Question

I have tried many different things to solve this issue, but nothing works! I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes as instructed by Apple support.  I have checked my firewall, but that wasn't the problem.  I have changed my proxy settings and that didn't solve the issue.  When I plug my Iphone into my laptop it doesn't detect my phone and when I try to check for updates a different error message occurs.  Please help!
