Itunes music store error -3256 Need help

Itunes error -3256 pops up everytime i try to go into itunes on my windows computer. I have tried everything to get it to work. If anyone has any suggestions please help me out?

I disabled all firewalls and other things that may
block the music store and it still did not work.
If you do a search using the error number, a lot of threads will come up and one of them may be more helpful.

I can't open Itunes music store - error message

I can't open itunes music store. I tried downloading the new apple itunes updates, but my computer says that the updates have an invalid signature. My computer won't let me install the new itunes or apple quicktime to my computer. Can somebody help me?

FF result "connection was refused when attempting to contact local host".
If you would please let me know "Click here to try this music in iTunes Music Store" that I posted work for you ? Thanks.

Music store error message- please help!

I've read previous posts regarding this error- just want to make sure I have the same problem before I uninstall the software. I am able to access the music store, but as soon as I hit the search or power search mode, I receive the error message " Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience." I am having difficulty in purchasing songs also. If I uninstall/reinstall will I lose the songs on my ipod?

i've been tracking the "search crash" version of this error message.
can you doublecheck for us your precise itunes version number? go "help > about itunes" and wait for the version to scroll up from the top. for example, mine says "itunes 6.0.5.20".
if you've got a 5.0.1.4, the standard workaround that has been helping folks has been to upgrade to a higher version (6.0.4.2 or 6.0.5.20).
in the normal course of events, an itunes upgrade or uninstall/reinstall does not affect your music files or library. i've done about 10 upgrades and 3 uninstall/reinstalls without losing a song or a playlist.
that being said, though, it's still wise to have backups in event of disasters. this Buegie post should be of some help with that:

Please Help - itunes music store error

I'm trying to authorize my itunes on my new MacBook Pro. I deauthorized all of my computers. When I go to authorize my new one, I get the window that tells me my computer was successfully authorized and I have 1 of 5 computers authorized. So far so good. I click okay and get the following message:
"We could not complete your itunes store request. There is not enough memory available. There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later." I have been getting this message for a couple of weeks, just before the upgrade to version 7 and since the upgrade to version 7. My computer is current with allof the latest updates.
I tried to work with itunes support, but they kept emailing me links to articles that did not address my issue. I kept telling them that the article was not helpful and now they won't respond to my emails. In the past I have been very happy with Apple, so I am surprised by this.
Can anyone help? I don't want to drive to Chicago just to get this resolved.
Thanks.

The "Error 9813" alert occurs when there is an issue with the root certificate in a Keychain. Root certificates are stored in a system keychain located at :
/System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors
These roots are used by Mac OS X system software to evaluate trust for secure web connections, secure e-mail, and other PKI interactions.
There are a few possible resolutions for this issue:
1. Quit iTunes, open Safari, and choose Empty Cache from the Safari Menu. Return to the iTunes Store and test to see if the issue is resolved,
2. Copy the "X509Anchors SystemRootCertificates.keychain", and "SystemCACertificates.keychain" files from another computer running the exact same version of Mac OS X as your computer, restart, and test.
3. Reinstall Mac OS X on your computer.

App Store Error! Need help fast!!!

Hi, I live in Sweden and I pushed an ad by mistake in some game and
I got tabbed in to a web page that redirected me to the App Store.
I just closed it and continued playing, later on when I was going to
download a new game, I couldn't, it said that I was in the U.S App Store,
and needed to switch to the Swedish App Store, I tryed rebooting the device
same "error",
How can I solve this without restoring my device?
Thanks
The pop out box says: Account not in this store.
Your account is not valid for use in the U.S Store.
You must switch to the Swedish store before purchasing.

Sorry! Wrote the totally wrong firmware, must've been thinking about something else
Well, have you done a simple google search for the error you're getting? A quick one for me returned this link:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2412579?start=0&tstart=0
Not sure if it will be useful, didn't read it too detailedly but it seemed along the right track! Otherwise, you could go into Apple and ask if it's a common problem and see what they say, may be that they can replace it there and then for you. Depends on if it's a common/known problem or not.

Obtain ID-tag from m4a, m4p, mp3, ... file bought on iTunes Music Store

How can i obtain ID-tag (... and an unique ID?) from m4a, m4p, mp3 file bought on iTunes Music Store?
I need to build C/C++ application to make this.
Best regards.

Burn them to an audio CD then re-import them. This strips off the restrictions and protections rendering them like any other CD music you import. And then you can store the CDRs away as a backup of your purchase.

I can't get into the itunes music store - can anyone help?

When I try to get to the itunes music store, I get the following error message:
itunes could not connect to the music store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. Then try again.
I don't understand what this means, and I don't know how to do what it is telling me to fix it. I'd appreciate any advice anyone can offer. Please be very specific, because I don't have lots of computer knowledge.

Were you connecting regulary up until a week ago? I have noticed that I have gotten a lot of those messages tonight. May the iTune site is very busy? (a lot of iTunes cards given out today)
I closed iTunes and then re-opened and it helped. My connections have been intermittent at best tonight.

ITunes Music Store Search ERROR?.

Everytime i search for an artist in the search window of iTunes music store i get this error; ???
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I've tried the program repair & running QT stand alone 7.1 & nothing?
Has anyone out there run into this problem?
Thanks!
I'm running version 5.0 & never had a problem until 6/3...
Also, the "power search" does the same thing...

There has been very heavy traffic on the store due to the release of iTunes plus. The error should go away once traffic dies down.

Itunes\Music Store Problems -Any Help Appreciated

Recently apple gave us (yes gave) a new intel Imac, after about 4 repairs to the mainboard and PSU on our 1 year old G5 Imac. Needless to say we were quite happy. Well after about 2 weeks and I think this coincides with a couple of the recent updates, Itunes started to randomly lose songs. they would deauthorize randomly and then increment the same. Well we resorted to contacting apple (under apple care now...) They have been no help nor has itunes\music store support. To their credit they have been willing to deauthorize the computes on the account 5 times in as many days. Although the emails asking the same questions over and over are quite frustrating. Currently the symptoms are:
1) Random incrementations on authorizations for one computer
2) Out of Memory error when you try to authorize until 5 authorizations are reached
3) Music Store -50 error
I have checked our router and cable modem etc no problems there, I can turn off the hardware firewall and no changes are had. I don't have any suspect software running, and have removed any itunes related widgets etc. Most recently I have rolled back itunes to 6.04 but still no dice. My wife (whose computer this is) is at her wits end as she is a tried and true "mac-girl" and has managed to convince almost everyone we know to switch or at least grab an ipod and go.... Needless to say she is currently regretting that... If anyone has any ideas please let me know I am currently sitting on $300+ of music I can't even get burned to CD or listen too. Apple tech support etc has been pretty worthless and it seems like these errors are rampant atm, you would think a "We're working on it" would be coming. Oh well Thanks in Advance.

Intel IMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I did repair the permissions as I have learned you are suppose to. The firmware should be up to date as well. With regards to a b\u when the G5 was acting squirrelly the last thing I did was purchase an external HD to ensure that we ddidn't lose the music. Is the common problem the 10.4.7 update or the Itunes 6.05? I have rolled back to Itunes 6.04 but haven't touched the OS. It's not something I really want to do but at this point will try almost anything.

Problem in connecting to iTunes/Music Store PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I can't connect to the itnues music store and get the following error message when I try:
itunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again.
If anyone could give me advice on what to do I would be very grateful!!!! Oh, you might have to explain things in very simple terms. My IT knowledge is pretty basic.
Thanks

Hi stewart,
I assume you can connect to the internet otherwise, through your browser, email client, etc?
If so, check this post:
Can't connect to the iTunes Music Store
If not, investigate your internet connection.

ITunes Music Store Crashes - Doesn't finish loading - Help?

Hi all,
For some reason my iTunes Music Store hasn't been able to load up on my Mac Mini with Leopard. It's been months since I tried to access it because I moved (I got a new ISP), and I am just getting this computer working after months of being down. I just re[placed the PRAM battery in ordewr to get the CD Drive working. After crashing a few times and checking the boards, I have tried a few things. I upgraded iTunes & all my Apple Apps with Software Update. No Joy. I downloaded Safari and reinstalled. No luck. I downloaded iTunes and reinstalled. I ran Disk Utility to repair permissions. No luck. The Store gets about 60% of the way and then quits with the message: iTunes has unexpectedly quit.
Details:
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS at 0x00000000b1ffbd84
Crashed Thread: 0
Don't know what else to do at this point.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. So long for now, Tom

Hi all,
I tried a few things suggested here, but they didn't solve the crashing issue, so I gave up and upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Sometimes things just go south I guess.
so long for now, TOM

As your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.

New episodes not showing up in iTunes Music Store

Hi I'm trying to figure out why new episodes of our podcast don't show up on our iTunes Music Store Page in iTunes.
The last episode listed on the page is from October 29, 2006 even though there are episodes in the feed as recent as April 1, 2007. Once you click "subscribe" and go to the "podcasts" section of iTunes, you can see all the episodes, they just don't show up in the iTunes music store page.
The feed is at:
http://www.uusf.org/AboutUUSF/SermonArchive/RSS/UUSF_Sermons.xml
Any help is appreciated. -Steve

OK, I got it to work by running the feed through
feedvalidator and fixing all the errors. The wierd
thing is that the xml file was created by a program
called RSSBuddy, so it shouldn't have been messed up.
Interesting. I suspect that the XML parser used by the iTunes Store is fussier than the iTunes software itself!
I guess I need to find a new program for editing the
RSS feed. Any recommendations?
If you're on a Mac then Podcast Maker is a great choice. For Windows there's a product made by Feed4All.
Cheers,
Greg.
