ITunes crashes airplaying iTunes store preview to Apple TV 2

Hi Everyone! I am kind of stumped and can't seem to find an answer anywhere.Maybe someone here has had the same problem and can help me.
I'm up to date on all software. I am using the newest iTunes (although thishas been happening for a few versions) on a Windows 7 64bit PC.
If I open iTunes and play/preview anything to the apple TV 2 from the iTunesStore, after few song previews iTunes stops playing and locks up solid. Icannot do anything without doing an end process.
Side note: I started reading and managed to do a little more damage thangood I think trying to fix this problem. I removed all entries in my windowsfirewall suspecting this might be the problem, and after a reboot I figuredit'd ask to re-add the rules again when I used iTunes next. Didn't happen. So Idid a software repair and put all the entries back, but now it simply saysconnecting to the apple TV and doesn't go further... I eventually get a -15000error. I thought it was just the windows firewall period, and I shut it offcompletely since I have a hardware firewall. Still the same result. (I realizeI did goof some settings in the firewall that I have to fix later, but thefirewall is off for now)
I can play movies and music to and from the apple TV with my iTunes library,but if I preview a song from the iTunes store on the PC to apple TV, itcrashes.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'd like to find a solution withoutremoving iTunes and re-installing... I've got such a large library and what apain that'd be!
Any help or info would be appreciated!

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

TS1368 I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

Logging in to iTunes Store on my Apple TV

I have just got round to updating my Apple TV and everytime I try to log in to my iTunes account, it says that either the Apple ID or Password is incorrect, although I can still log in on my PC.
I have tried both of my iTunes accounts and neither will work. I've made sure I'm using all lower case, and made sure it's trying to connect to the correct countries store.
What's interesting is YouTube doesn't work either, but when I go to look at TV Show Previews and Film Trailers, they work and play fine, it just won't let me sign in to my accounts.
Any ideas?

I was on the phone with Apple support this morning for 2 hours.
If you have an @aol.com email address as your Apple ID, you cannot log onto the iTunes store on the Apple TV. The technician told me it's a bug they did not come across during testing and they're working now trying to resolve it. He said they're not sure if it's on the server side or if it's the v2 firmware.
The technician tried to convert my account as shown in the link (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307459) That did not work either. The solution for now is to go to https://myinfo.apple.com, log in and change your Apple ID name to something else besides an @aol.com address.
He said it looks like we'll be getting a 2.0.1 update very soon to resolve the issue.

Why can't you purchase an audio book on the Itunes store from an Apple TV?

Apple seems to be moving everything they sell on Itunes to graphics, away from the traditional text based browse function they started with.
I don't think they've done the most effective job on that move on a PC/Mac, it's sometimes easier just to go through the Apple TV and buy from there and let it just sync and transfer to my Itunes library on my PC.
However, I've noticed that you can't purchase an audiobook from an Apple TV, though you can purchase everything else that can play on an Ipod from there.
Audiobooks just don't show up as an option on the Itunes store from an Apple TV, but they do play on your Apple TV if you purchase them from the Itunes store from the PC or Mac you sync or stream from.
Does anyone know if this is a licensing issue, or yet another oops/oversight on Apple's part? Doesn't seem to make sense, Apple has been pushing tighter and tighter integration between the Itunes store and Apple TV, and it's yet another lost revenue stream on Apple's part that I hope they fix.
If you can buy it from the store, you ought to be able to buy it using your apple TV. Period. Makes as much (non)sense as restricting what content you can purchase if you are buying it from an Iphone vs. a PC vs. a Mac. If you sell content on your store that plays on your devices, then sell it, regardless of which device (that you also make and sell) that your customers access your Itunes store from. It's why they make us sync everything back to Itunes on a computer in the first place.
And yes, while it may sound counter-intuitive to listen to an audio book from a device connected to a TV,
I listen to audiobooks from my Apple TV nightly in my bedroom to go to sleep by, streamed via airtunes to the Aux port on my clock radio by my bed, then turn the TV off and snooze. Works extremely well and has for years now. Beats headphones or futzing with external speakers on an Ipod or trudging upstairs to the room I have my PC in to stream an audiobook to airtunes, then back to bed. With Apple TV, it's pick, click, then turn off the tv and the lights. Sure would be nice to buy an audio book that way also.
Any thoughts on why they would restrict you from buying audiobooks from an Apple TV? To me, it's yet another lost revenue opportunity for impulse buys courtesy of Apple.

I have set up my apple ID, my apple TV is connected to my Mac, internet is OK, TV syncing all movies, phones,… ok, but I can not see iTunes store on my apple TV. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thanks, I read several other threads and all it took was to turn off the router and turn it back on again, 'simples'.
Thanks

You're not telling us very much...

I can sign into the Itunes Store w/ my apple id and password, but it wouldn't allow me to sign into my billing area with same?

I can sign into the Itunes store with my apple is and pw, but with that same apple id and password it will not let me sign into the billing area to change my credit card or buy something! argh

When I want downloud in iTunes store it say apple ID has not yet been used itunes store been yet

When I want downloud in iTunes store it say apple ID has not yet been used itunes store ?

it require you to put in your creditcard details most likely

ITunes won't connect to iTunes Store with my Apple ID and repeatedly crashes with "An unknown error occurred (-50)."

I've been unable to use iTunes for over 3 weeks now.
Initially, it would prompt me to Sign In with my Apple ID and password each time it tried to start, and when I clicked Sign In, it'd respond with variations of:
    "Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance."
    or
    De-authorize/Authorize.
Frustrated, I'd click Cancel, and it'd crash with:
    "An unknown error occurred (-1008)."
    or
    "An unknown error occurred (-50)."
More recently, I don't even get the Sign In prompt any more. iTunes now just crashes immediately with unknown error (-50) as soon as it tries to start.
It is clear that this issue has more to do with the Apple ID than with iTunes specifically, because some of the apps I purchased directly from the App Store (OmniFocus, Fantastical and Forismatic) now prompt me to Sign In with my Apple ID and password each time they try to start, and they never did before. And when I try to sign, they respond with the error:
     "Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance."
Apparently, this is an issue a whole lot of people are experiencing, judging by the long list of Google search returns on the subject; but I'm yet to find a definitive, "official" Apple solution to the problem.
My Apple ID is the same as it's always been.
If anyone knows what's really causing this and/or can offer a fix, please H-E-E-E-L-P? I'll even pay to make it go away. I abandoned Windows after 26 years, only to discover that no platform is spared the blackhole of unknown errors.

ITunes Store Preview Script

I downloaded from "Doug's Scripts" a while back a script that once you ran it would start playing the preview of the first song of an album in the iTunes store, and it would then go to song 2 play it, then 3, and so on...
It now does not work in iTunes 9. Does any one know where I can get a script that will work? While working I run the script then scan through albums and if I like them I buy them. It is too distracting without the script because you have hit play on song 1, the hit play on song 2, etc....
Any thought or help with this would be appreciated.

Try this Helvetica font thing.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3042
After getting rid of the Helvetica font and the itunes store working, apparently you can just drag it right back out of the recycle bin:

My Helvetica font must be OK, since I never saw this problem.

TS3297 Does anyone know how to fix a problem where iTunes store previews (just music, not movies) stop after anywhere between 9 and 13 seconds of playback?

Basically, when I try to listen to any music previews, it cuts out inexplicably after more or less 10 seconds. The movie previews work fine. The iTunes diagnostic showed up clean, and I have already reinstalled iTunes as well as restarted my computer. Any ideas?

The following post from wunbadapple fixed my preview issue. May want to try it.
Re: itunes store song previews now less than 10 seconds
created by wunbadapple in iTunes for Windows - View the full discussion
Well I think I fixed it, but with Apple you can never be sure. Just previewed 5 songs and all previewed ok. I reviewed the thread above and some other related threads and all seemed to reference DNS at some point. So I changed my DNs provider in Windows
Network connections->properties->IPV4->properties-> Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8 and secondary DNS = 4.2.2.1 .
Primary is the Google DNS server, secondary is the old old old VZ DNS (used to be GTE I think). My default was Verizon's Fios DNS. 8.8.4.4 and 4.2.2.2 are other google and VZ servers if you want the same provider for primary and secondary. I split them in case one has issues.
Then DOS CMD: ipconfig /flushdns
This seemed to resolve the issue, but can't be sure something in Apple servers, etc didn't change. I am wondering if there is something evil in the iTunes Store VZ FIOS DNS interaction, but can't be sure. At least worth a shot if you still have the issue. Ironic the google DNS servers fixed an issue with Apple.

How do I Download from Itunes store using the Apple Lossless format?

I use my music on a home sterio and import locally from CD's to Windows using the Apple Lossless format only, to achieve the Highest quality sound. However, When I buy from Itunes store I can only get AAC format, which is low quality. How can I get Itunes to give me only Apple Lossless format?
Your help will b e appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

I do agree with what i have been said. I am a musician, i think AAC is definitely medium-low quality. I bought this year lots of AAC 256 for Itunes. I have been surprised. SO many times i need to go to the equalizer to counter-balance the weakness of this file format.
I advise you to do the following. Import a CD using Apple LossLess and then import a CD using AAC 256. You will see a HUGE difference.
Now i start to buy CD again in order to get the music Quality. Then i import my CDs to Itunes using Apple LossLess (920Kbps). You will ear that on Snares and Rides. Bass will sound more natural. Bass, Medium, Sharp will more balance with each other. You will hear instruments with more clarity especially when there are a lot of instruments. Because of that, you will not need to raise up the volume.
But more than anything... you will gain VOLUME in your files.
In general over the internet all the online music stores including Itune doesn't provide HD quality. AAC 256 is not enough. A track bought over Itune Store should weight 30 megabytes, not 5. And then you would decide to compress it or not.

I updated to maverick and now I cant rent films from itunes store to my apple tv.

I updated to Maverick and now I cant download rentals from the itune store. I received the bill but no film.
I rented on Apple TV but it can't download.
I have a MacBook Air, Apple TV and Iphone 5
What is happening?

I could not login with apple tv into the itunes store to rent a movie. However I could directly login with the mac . After the movie was downloaded I could play it with apple tv/ It is not the way it should be but at least we had a pleasant evening.
