ITunes logging in problem

I have downloaded iTunes 7 on my Intel Macbook. I want to get all the album artwork for a lot of my songs. Firstly, it seems very stupid that I have to have an iTunes account to do this- I buy my music from a different store. The iTunes store works, until I try to login or create an account. It says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (-9813)." Below this it says "Make sure your network connection is active and try again". Obviously my network connection is active! This problem seems only to occur on my computer- not on any other ones. Ok, it's not the end of the world for me because I don't buy my music there, but if I did...
Thanks to anyone who can help
PS. I have tried logging in with a friend's account and that didn't work either, so the problem isn't just with creating a new account, also with logging in. The friend's account works fine on their computer.

My girlfriend has the same problem with her iBook G4 on the Uni network - you can browse the store all you want, but you can't log in or anything.
It's just her computer with this problem, since my Windows XP laptop works with iTunes perfectly fine. I'd really like to know if there's a solution to this, since I can't simply give her songs I've purchased without burning them to CD and then re-ripping the songs. *****.

    Sorry, but what "genius pass" are you referring to? What exactly is happening for you, or what is the nature of the problem you're experiencing?

    I googled your message and found a thread where someone had this odd problem.  They solved it by unplugging their router, waiting a minute and plugging it back in.  They said this completely solved getting this message.

  • HT201412 iPad 2, ios 7.0.2; Apple logo when cover opened requiring a reset to start iPad even after system restored through iTunes.  Same problem with Lock / Unlock off.

    This problem only started after installing ios 7.0.2 on 3 Aug 2013.  The iPad must now be switched off before closing the magnetic cover or the system freezes displaying the Apple logo.  I think the lock up occures as the cover is closed as the iPad was quite warm when I returned to use it about 2 hours later.  The battery was fully charged just prior to the upgrade, but, after a system reset to get the iPad running again, I found the previously full battery down to abt. 20%.  I have tried turning the (auto) "Lock / Unlock" off but closing and re opening the cover still reveals a black screen with the Apple logo, and the need to reset.  I restored the iPad through iTunes but the problem still remains........any ideas any one.........APPLE ???

    Thank you for your perseverence.
    Yes I am the first and only owner/user of this iPad.
    No the iPad has never been jailbroken (or dropped, knocked, dunked or sat on)

    Both of the above was conducted on a clean install with no backups restored.
    The problem ocurred immediately after the iOS 7.0.2 upgrade. I have used the iPad every day since I got it shortly after version 2 came out and it had performed flawlessly right up to this upgrade. The upgrade was done wirelessly and the battery was fully charged. The iPad was disconnected from the charger before the start of the upgrade and no problems were encountered during the upgrade. I closed the cover on completion and that appears to be when the problem started. All subsiquent restores have been through iTunes 11.1.1.11 with no reported problems.

  • ITunes "encountered a problem and needs to close" error

    hey guys and gals, i really need help. i've been trying to fix my iTunes software for months now. Without further ado, here's what happened:
    installed itunes
    deleted quicktime accidently
    installed quicktime
    installed itunes
    itunes still doesn't work
    installed and reinstalled multiple times from both the c.d. and itunes.com
    Therefore, when i attempt to open my itunes program, the dialoge box stating, "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Send error report, dont send."
    the details of the error report are:
    "information regarding the condition of iTunes when the problem occured; the operating system version and computer hardware in use; your digital product id, which could be used to identify your license; and internet protocol(ip) address of your computer.
    we do not intentionally collect your files, name, address, email address or any other form of personally identifiable information. however, the error report could contain coustomer- specific information such as data from open files. while this information could potentially be used to determine your idenity, if present, it will not be used. the data that we collected will only be used to fix the problem. if more information is available, we will tell you when you report the problem. this error report will be sent using a secure connection to a database with limited access and will not be used for marketing purposes."
    for the love of god, help me. i really wanna get my itunes working.(i have no antivirus software, such as mcaffee or norton, etc)
    i really appreciate it

    great, but when i did this, the agreement popped up and disappeared as soon as it came up, before i could press anything.
    yuck. that's consistent with a malware infestation problem that has been causing error-less itunes launch failures since late October. but there's another couple of main possibilities that we have to check on for these "error-less" launch failures. let's try to firm up the diagnosis a bit.
    first let's make an observation.
    reboot your PC. open Task Manager to the Processes Tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if so, does it persist in there, or disappear after a few seconds?
    if itunes.exe persists in Task Manager
    do you have Norton Internet Security 2005? if so, first see:
    iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
    ... but if no joy with that, try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
    Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
    ... but if you don't have NIS 2005 (or symptoms persist), check up on this possibility:
    iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
    if itunes.exe doesn't appear in Task Manager (or disappears after a few seconds)
    then we have to check up on the malware possibilities.
    (this is not a cure, it's a final diagnostic.) use MSCONFIG to get iTunes launching again:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    after the selective startups, don't launchother applications prior to opening itunes. (this has been known to re-trigger the launch suppression.)
    post back with a list of the Startup items that you needed to disable in order for itunes to launch again. exact spelling and capitalisation please.

    Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
    And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted.

  • HT1947 Does anyone else have my problem with atv3? Plays films in iTunes without any problems but on music every time I use the remote app on my iPhone 3GS it stops playing after around 5 tracks in. Anyone having this problem?

    Does anyone share my problem with atv3 I can play films through iTunes without any problems. When I start playing music using the remote app on my iPhone 3GS after around 5 tracks in it just stops playing and seems to lose my connection. Hoping this is human error on my part?

    I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
    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.

  • ITunes will not open in Windows 7 for one User. All I get is the Licence Agreement pane and when I click YES nothing further happens. I have set up a second user and iTunes opens without problem in that User window.

    Clearly something is blocking the main user(administrator) from opening the iTunes programme and I cannot find a solution.

    Many thanks for your reply. Yes I carried out the suggested procedure in safe mode , which did not resolve the issue and so this is what led me to set up a second User account. iTunes opened without problem in this second account and so I looked at the User-specific troubleshooting but I just could not locate the iTunes Preference files no matter how much searching I did.
    I also tried uninstalling and re-installing but the problem persists. Would be very grateful for any further advice.
