Itunes hanging network connectivity tests

Hi,
I have that old issue with iTunes hanging when I import CD's and the information is retrieved from Gracenotes. It also happens when doing a Network Connectivity Test from the diagnostics tab.
I do not have the jukebox software running as per the old 2011 conversation. Is there anything else I can look at as it is extremely frustrating to have to type things in manually!
Let me know please.
Thanks

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 n 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:

  • HT3204 When doing a "Network Connectivity Test" on my PC, as to iStore Connectivity, it says "Secure Link to iTunes Store failed". And when trying to "authorize" my computer to sync ringtones I downloaded to my PC, I keep getting an errot message.

    When doing a "Network Connectivity Test" on my PC, while in iTunes, it tells me that "Secure Link to iTunes Store Failed", yet I'm connected to the internet.  I was unable to "authorize" my PC with an error message, as well, giving me the code (-3212), saying I was not connected to the internet, yet I am.  I can open browser after browser, and navigate just fine.  In going through the iTunes Help menu, I am running the tests offered in the drop-downs, but I keep getting the afore-mentioned errors.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • Can not update iphone firmware using iTunes "The network connection timed out"

    Did you make sure it was the exact file for your device and the latest version? I just downloaded the latest file for my iPhone4, put it in the folder I mentioned above and it ran the install versus downloading the file. This problem where it times out after downloading is a big Bug within iTunes that has been there ever since IOS 7.0 was released. I wished these apple developers would just fix iTunes. There are a ton of complaints about this issue. I sure miss Steve Jobs running this business, I really feel like it's gone down hill after he left.
    I hope this helps! 
    Regards.

  • Error msg while downloading or visiting iTune store: "network connection was lost". Any idea about the problem?

    I am getting for the last days a constant error msg while downloading or visiting iTune store: "network connection was lost" (sometimes also ways it was "reset" instead). But, the network is working (I can make othe rdownloads and visit to other internet sites). Any idea about the problem?

  • Itunes error: network connection timed out

    Every time I try and log into my Itunes account I get an error message saying We could not complete your Itunes Store request. The network connection has timed out. How can I fix it?
    Edit: My virus scanner is Avg and I use ad-aware 2007 for spyware. I can't find a feature with either one that would block i tunes. Also, it's an allowed application with windows firewall.

    Ive been having this problem for over 24 hours now. Bad bit is that I had restored my iphone just before this so ive been stuck without a mobile phone since then.
    Symptoms:
    Iphone appears in itunes but when the iphone tries to get onto the store to finish re-activation the connection hangs and then i get the error "we could not complete your itunes store request. the network connection timed out".
    I can browse the itunes music store + podcast store and i can download podcasts.
    Safari is working perfectly.
    Anything anyone can suggest would be a big help. I presume it it apple's server's fault.

  • ITunes Store - Network Connection Reset

    Greetings, I have now been unable to connect to the iTunes Store for the last couple of days now but have been able to previously download apps etc. Now I continuously get the error message:
    "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network Connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
    This is completely frustrating me as wish to download the new App "Spore" but cant. Can access the internet fine as am writing this help request. Have also completely reinstalled over the top the latest iTunes, which I was already running the latest version, still didnt fix the issue. Also reset my Keychain to no avail. So decided to do a complete remove of iTunes and reinstall it, which did and still no change.
    Have searched and searched for a solution but have yet to find anything that works.
    Please Help
    Thanks

  • ITunes - Incoming network connections error message

    Hello,
    I am hoping some one can help me?
    I have a Mac and I keep get an error message appear when I open my ITunes.
    The error message reads " Do you want the application iTunes to accept incoming network connections".
    I have changed the security settings to accept incoming network connections but the error message keeps coming up.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks
    Gavin

    My father has a perfectly good working 17 inch MacBook Pro, running on 10.4.8 which is the most modern version it's allowed to run, plus running iTunes 9.x and have the same problem. It does get tiring clicking each time, it does get annoying not being able to use airplay because it blames the firewall, and It gets annoying entering the administrate access and password each time.
    When he selects the AirPort Express in question, that used to throw up the "not set in your firewall to allow AirPlay".
    Clicking the firewall preferences button is useless, as it's already been given permission to allow incoming Internet connection, and clicking ignore makes it either crash , stop working or be inactive.
    Turning firewall off to allow all connections defeats the point of having a firewall, but used to work most of the time, but doesn't seem to work now.
    This coincides with him suddenly not being able to browse the Internet streams through the old iTunes radio button, but the ones that he did safe to his personal playlists play fine and he can enter custom stream URLs fine. So something on apples side must be stopping the use of the old radio button that allows you to browse through various genres of Internet music streams.
    For the record there has been no iTunes or operating system updates for 10.4.8 for a couple of years now at the very least. So that is where our situation lies. A solution other than iTunes which no longer allows browsing.

  • ITunes Match network connection time out error

    I have just signed up to itunes match but at the end of step 1 I get a network connection error at the 'Waiting for apple to deliver your results' stage every time.
    I have tried everything suggested on forums regaring unticking proxy server settings and turning off firewall but nothing works.
    I have run diagnostics on itunes and it is coming up with two anomolies.  It is giving me a 'cannot make secure connection to itunes store' error although I can connect to itunes store I am wondering whether this is causing the problem with itunes match.
    It is also stating in the diagnostics report that 'current user is not an administrator' although I am logged on with an adminstrator account on windows 7 64bit.
    If anyone can point me in the right direction to sort this problem i would be very grateful.

    Great thanks.  I am using NOD32 so hopefully that will be the culprit.  I will try this later when i get home as you have to restart the PC in safe made to uninstall ESET and I can't do that over a VPN link.
    I was thinking of getting rid of ESET anyway as it is a bit cpu hungry.  I was thinking of just using the windows firewall and AV.  Did you reinstall ESET after itunes match worked?  And did it still continue to work if you did?
    Sorry to bombard you with questions!
    Thanks again.

  • Itunes and network connection for remote speaker

  • Keep getting a message in iTunes that "network connection has been reset"

    cannot process info or something like that. Any clues as to what might be the problem or is there just an iTunes issue tonight.

    I'm sorry i can't be of help but i can relate because I'm having the same problem.
    The error message occurs when I login to buy music and says:
    "We could not complet your iTunes Store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure you network connection is active and try again."
    I'm having no internet problems at all... maybe this error is due to the recent patch/update? i bought music a couple days ago and was fine, and now I can't log in. HELP!

  • ITunes Store Network Connection Issue

    Hello,
    I have a 80GB Classic ipod I use on my home computer with Windows XP. I opened iTunes last night but could not open the store. This is the message I recieved. (iTunes could not connect to the store network connection was reset). I can open IE and Outlook Express email so I don't have a network issue other then iTunes.Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Weird happenings for me too...Yesterday I couldn't download a free app, and today, none of my app update downloads will download. I just get the progress bar that says "Downloading ___", followed by "Could not purchase ______. The network connection was reset". Frustrating for sure.
    Update: Now, I can download some of the apps, but just got an error that says "There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later." Even going directly to the item in the iTunes Store doesn't work. There's definitely something weird going on.

  • ITunes Store - Network Connection 'timed out'

    I have a TouchSmart 505 model with Windows Vista. This last week have had problems accessing the itunes store through my library link. Cannot download music from the itunes web page. I keep getting an error that says 'network connection timed out'. Have run through settings with the service provider who assure me the connection is good. Anyone out there who can help? Thanks

    Sounds like a firewall is blocking itunes. Make sure you allow itunes access to outbound and inbound traffic.
