ITunes Music Store Not Working for Windows XP? !!!!!The Final Solution!!!!!

It IS a firewall problem. Most likely.
A lot of people on these forums kept assuring us "it's your firewall settings" that's causing the problem, while others resentfully responded back with "but I turned mine off, that's not the problem"
Well, yes, it most likely is the problem. I was in the same situation. iTMS wouldn't open for me and so i turned my firewall settings off on Norton, and it still wouldn't work. I didn't think I needed to bother with changing my firewall settings to add itunes since I wasn't even running it my firewall anymore.
But out of desperation I decided to open Norton Internet Security, click on my firewall settings by pressing "configure" and then click "permit all" for iTunes.
And it actually worked. For me. At least. But hey, I was cussing Apple for days until I tried this ...
Dell Dimension 9100   Windows XP  

I was getting the exact same thing with my 2nd generation Shuffle after I installed Itunes 8.1 to my computer. Couldnt load my Ipod at all.
I was reading over in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1244785&tstart=0 and tried what the guy suggested. I created a playlist of the songs I wanted to load to my Ipod, then clicked on my Ipod. I set the Ipod to autofill from the playlist I set up, then hit the Autofill button. I unplugged my USB mouse, waited 2 seconds, then plugged my mouse back in. Miraculously the playlist began to get loaded onto my Ipod and I can use it again. Unfortunately I have to do this every time I want to add or remove something from the Ipod, but hopefully Apple will fix this sometime soon (hint, hint!).

  • Itunes Match is not working for Windows 8.1

    I recently purchased ITunes Match on my previous laptop. I got a new Windows 8 laptop and tried to add the ITunes Match onto it, but every time I try to access the ITunes Match page my computer says that ITunes has stopped working and it forces me to close it. Is this an iTunes issue or a windows issue?

  • Itunes music store not available in your country yet.

    I just did a clean reinstall of OS 10.3.5, and when I try to access the music store I get
    "itunes music store not available in your country yet.
    You will be able to browse and listen to previews but wont be able to purchase music. To browse music store, select a country below."
    So I select United States and nothing happens.
    I am in the US and have an itunes account.
    The itunes version is 4.2.
    Also, what is the highest itunes version I can use with 10.3.5?
    I am held down to this OS version because of some other software on my mac that won't work with anything higher than 10.3.5.
    thanks
    roger c.

    First, the iTunes Store has required iTunes 6 at minimum for quite a while now. So you're going to have to upgrade from iTunes 4.2. If you want to run iTunes 7, you'll need to get to Mac OS X 10.3.9. Otherwise you can download iTunes 6.0.5 here, but you won't be able to purchase movies or (I believe) videos unless you have iTunes 7. There's also no guarantee how long iTunes 6 will work.
    Second, you've posted in the iTunes for Windows forum. Normally you'll get the quickest and most accurate responses if you post in the iTunes for Mac forum.
    Regards.

  • Activesync not working for Windows Phone with certificate

    We have a new Exchange Server 2013 setup and using activesync.  We have setup a policy to require simple password and to send an email to provision a device when it connects.  Activesync is setup to use self signed certificates,  this was
    tested first on the Ipad.  Certificate installed entered the settings and the device appeared in the quarantined devices list awaiting to be approved.  This was also done on the Iphone and worked. 
    When putting the same certificate on the windows phone device it errored with there is a problem with {as.domain-name.net} and does not appear in quarantined devices screen.
    I tested again with another Ipad and an android device and they work without an issue.  Tested with a Windows RT device and got the same issue.  If I look in the IIS log files I can see the windows device making a connection then when I presume
    to be the error 500 at the end of the line. 
    This is not a user issue as I can use the same user on the various devices.  The windows devices just do not want to connect.  We have looked at the certificate but if it works for apple and android devices why does it not work for windows? 
    Is there any additional security settings that need to be turned on or off for windows phones?  Is there something specific on the certificate what windows devices need that others ignore?

    I did inital think it might be a widows phone issue but there are no other settings for me to use.  I have also tested using a windows 8 surface and I get the same issue.
    I have raised the event log level on the exchange server to expert and I have seen 2 messages when I try to connect. 
    I get Event ID 1100:  Exhcnage ActiveSync device requests for your uses are being blocked.  This problme frequently occurs when HTTP OPTIONS method is not allowed.
    I know it is allowed as the test exchange connectivity worked and passed that test.
    The other error Event ID 1309 ASP.NET warning.  Part of the exception messge is DeviceTypeMissingOrInvalid
    I have come across a comment that says for certificates to work you need to use windows intune or SCCM which we don't have.  Do we know if this is true? 

  • ITunes WiFi Music Store not working

    I got my iPod touch about a week ago, and I have been very pleased with it - apart from the iTunes WiFi Music Store. At the moment, I am travelling across the USA, where I picked up my iPod. During the time I have been travelling (about 2 weeks), I have managed to use all the features on the iPod successfully, except the iTunes music store. I have been connected to several different wireless networks, from which I could access all features (maps, YouTube, stocks etc.), with the exception of the iTunes WiFi music store. This isn't such a problem, as I don't use iTunes, but as I have paid for this feature, I would like to use it.
    Does anybody have any solutions to this, with the exception of restoring the iPod?

    I started using my iPod on my uncle's computer, as I am abroad at the moment, but I am going to sync it with my computer when I get home. I'm not really interested in purchasing songs from iTunes, I just wanted to have a look at the app - but I have to have a registered iTunes account on my computer for this to work? If it takes that much efforrt, I don't think it's worth it.
    Thanks for your help, everyone.

  • ITunes music store not updating podcast part 2

    Hi there,
    I seem to be having the same problem as a lot of people in the fact that my podcasts aren't getting updated in the iTunes music store.
    I've pinged my podcast and it comes back with 'No Podcast Found For Ping Request.'
    I've used feedvalidator.org to check on possible errors and the only one I can find is when it comes back with this message:
    Your feed appears to be encoded as "UTF-8", but your server is reporting "US-ASCII"
    I haven't got a clue what this means....
    If you subscribe to my podcasts, the latest one gets downloaded to you, but there's only one appearing in the itunes store.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance,
    Olive

    Hey guys, here is what I posted in another thread because I was having a similar problem. Run your rss feed through feedvalidator.org and see if there are any problems-then try to resolve them. Anyway, it's kinda long, but here's what helped me!
    I found the answer thanks to Rob @ podcast411.com!! I ran my rss feed through feed validator, and found that I was using a category that iTunes no longer used. I didn't think this would've mattered, but I went into my rss.xml file and updated the category from Sports to Sports and Recreation, and a few minutes later all was well in the ITMS. The trick was finding the rss.xml file. Here's what I did:
    Mount iDisk
    open web folder
    open rss folder
    open iWeb folder
    open kangaroopodcast folder (this one will be named what you named your website in GarageBand)
    open podcast folder
    ctrl-click rss.xml file and choose to open with Text Edit (this is where I had my trouble because at first I didn't open it with a different program than the default one and it was some goffy game-I guess apple was trying to mask it so you don't mess up your rss feed)
    next make appropriate changes (here you can use the info from the podcast tech specs page to know how to use the proper "language" to make the category change.
    Anyway, I know this was long, but I hope that it helps someone else because I spent a while trying to figure it out!

  • Itunes wifi sync not working for iPhone 4s ?

    i have a MBP 15'' , 3 iPhone 4s , 1 iPad 3 but only MY iphone 4s is not syncing over wifi , it syncs via usb cable but not when i connect to charger and connected to wifi or even when i press the itunes wifi sync in the settings it syas looking for MBP and does not sync , whereas all my other gadgets like ipad and iphones automatically sync as soon as they are in wifi zone . i tried everything like reeboting my iphone and quitting and reopening my itunes but nothing helped checked and unchecked the "sync with this iphone over wifi" several times still nothing then even tried changing the ip address but no , then even restored my iphone from backup even then nothing helped , and even did all the obvious things like connected bluethooth , used iphone remort for itunes , and even did homesharing of itune library through iphone , nothing helped so if anyone knows how to get this straight please let me know .. and yes i even checked the iphone and itunes version they are both up to date

    hey kasey, i dont know why you have to do that or why does it not work even with all the right settings but what i know is after that process that i just explained above your problem will be gone and iphone will wifi sync as soon as you enter the wifi zone 
    the cause of the problem might be ( what i think is ) when you update you iphone software directly from iphone instead through your computer you get this problem because for me also it was working finely until i updated to 5.1.1 from iphone itself and wich caused me so much trouble, well now i have installed IOS6 and working great .evean if you did not update your iphone and still got this problem can be due to the reason that sometimes your iphone or computer cahnges some internet settings on theri on for their best connection which might cause confusion between 2 gadgets .

  • Java 7 U25 work around does not work for windows 8

    I'm working on a java application which uses the statistical software R. This line Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1 + "/bin/" + "R CMD BATCH " + "./data/rJava.R");  in the application started throwing an error after the java 7 u25 update, but it was fixed by using the work around setting jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbigousCommands to true. This fix however does not work in windows 8, although the command does not error out with "cannot create process = 2" it just executes the line, but does nothing. But if I typed the command (R CMD BATCH " + "./data/rJava.R) directly into the commandline, it works perfectly. I've tried disabling the work around, and actually using suggested solutions in the release notes (see below), all worked in windows 7, but no success with windows 8. Any suggestions would be great
    Process p = new ProcessBuilder("c:\\Program File\\foo.exe").start();
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "c:\\Program File\\foo.exe" });
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"c:\\Program File\\foo.exe\"");

    avancentcisco - Win7 works fine with SSL VPN. But since we all were migrating to Win8, this was of no use to us. So we ditched SSL VPN all together.
    IPSec VPN with Cisco VPN Client (version 5.0.07) works absolutely fine on Windows 8. Once you get the set up right, everything works fine (we are using full tunnel) including internet access.
    If you struggle to get it working then let me know and I can help you out. There's not much info out there on the internet. I had to do it the hard way.
