ITunes Gift Card and now "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store."
My wife was using my computer yesterday and was entering in a gift card number that I gave her. Well, the card had a number missing or something and she tried all types of combinations. After some time she showed me an error (-50 if I recall) and since then I get "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
It had been working for weeks. So now, I tried a few other applications to get some more information and I found this:
Failed 'authorizeMachine':null
So, can someone tell me what to do, or remove my MAC address from Apple's iTunes store anti-scripting program
Please email me with a resolution.

Me too. I upgraded to 7.02 iTunes. It hasn't happened before till the new upgrade. I'm using Windows 2000. I even renamed My Music, iTunes and iPod to "Old" and reinstalled the disc that came with my iPod Nano. It still will not connect. Make sure your Firewall is not being used while trying to connect. Or your ISP is probably prohibiting use to iTunes Music Store. Maybe a Anti-Virus Software program.
If Apple is trying to fix their bugs due to the new upgrade the are giving, they need to give free music for the inconvenience of their customers not being able to connect. My internet connection is active. My husband is a network guru and even he is surprised it doesn't work. Maybe my Hughes.net ISP is prohibiting use. We are trying everything.
Good Luck to everyone. If you find a solution that works, please email me. Thank you.

I downloaded the new iOS6 update to my 4s and now I can not connect with the iTune or App store. How do I fix it? My Wi-Fi works fine.
(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset. -
I was getting an iTunes gift card and I just want to ask that can the iTunes gift card be use for the app store.
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Since I upgraded my anti-virus software to Trend Micro 2013, I now get this error message:
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
My internet connection is working fine. I suspect it is related to my anti-virus upgrade.
Any ideas?Definitely try disabling anti virus software then try iTunes.

iTunes RADIO is not working.
“iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.” Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so …
iTunes STORE not “connectable” with my otherwise perfectly-working internet connection, viable, up and running for all other uses.
Simply put, firstly, I can't connect to the internet when I click on Radio. People are quite suspicious that this is Apple incompetence or your company's famous arrogance for this commonly-suffered problem that you won't or “can’t” fix.
Read the many web comments and you won’t be pleased with yourselves: the suspicion is that if you ruin internet radio on iTunes, Apple will somehow make more money on music downloads, etc. Bull.
Also, thirdly, my old playlist of 20 or so internet radio stations in the Ambient category STILL PLAYS !
Then fourth, I installed the latest available version of QuickTime Player 7.app Version 7.6.6 but it didn’t solve the problem either. I had QuickTime Player.app Version 10.2, but substituted what Apple website said was the latest, LOWER NUMBERED QuickTime Player version of 7.6.6
Fifth, I can't connect to iTunes store no matter what I do or what user group's advice I try. So I can’t buy or download anything from iTunes. Bad for business.
Sixth, I updated to the latest version of iTunes but this weird problem remains. All suggested Apple fixes or user group fixes are useless. Where is Apple’s famous technical competency, vaunted customer support?, and user-friendly product reputation? Get it back, please.
Solve this problem of yours ASAP for us, your numerous disgruntled, dissatisfied customers of iTunes. You can do better, should, and really –in all fairness- must.

I am running Windows 7 (64bit) , and an error message appears following a recent update to iTunes v 11.1.2: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occured (-3212). Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have dug a little bit into possible problems but haven't found a solution yet, one note is that the network connection is OK. A response would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

when i try to open my itues it says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, and try again"
I am having similar issues except that the store starts to load, then stops, then I only get iTunes Store in gray letters on a white screen. I can access playlist and the other stuff. Like flamesgirl, I contacted them and they just keep sending me links of stuff to try which I had already seen on the Apple website and nothing works. I posted the question on another forum I belong to and one responder said her husband was in an Apple store and asked about this problem as he was having the same issue. They said an update would be coming out soon as they were aware of the problem. Who knows.

I just recently downloaded iTunes and whenever I try to access the store It says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004). I have windows xp and it's running on service pack 2. I have downloaded and redownloaded iTunes many times. I'm getting very frustrated! Please help!
I have the same error for Windows Vista. I read all the community posts and followed the suggested fixes including numerous uninstalls and installs, clearing cache, choosing various SSL TL options, turning off all spyware and nothing has worked. My internet works fine for all my other programs so not sure what is going on with Itunes. I will not buy anymore products through
Apple Itunes.
