Itunes not connecting with store & won't update iphone 4

First, please don't tell me to look through the archives, because I already did and can't find a solution.  If you have 5 hours to search for me, please do so and let me know what thread the answer is in.
After the second to last itunes update (back in July/August, maybe?), itunes would not connect to the store.  When I went to update my iphone to the latest software, it would start backing up and then stay there forever.  When the next (latest) itunes update popped up a few weeks ago, I was thrilled because I thought the problem would be solved.  No dice.
I've uninstalled, reinstalled, and updated.  The only thing I haven't done is downgraded but that is because one, I can't find an old version of itunes, and two, I read in other threads this didn't work anyway.  I've deauthorized and reauthorized my computer.  That didn't work.  I can't sync, update, or back up my iphone. 
Does anyone have any other advice???
Thank you!
PS I just noticed that somehow I DO have the latest version of the iOS, but not sure how this happened since the iphone never connected with itunes.

Had some time at lunch to work on this issue. On my Win 7 PC I noticed the Apple USB drive had an ! mark on it in the device manager. I right clicked on it and updated driver software. I picked the automatically search for new driver. Now it works.

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

  • IPod Updater Code problem? iTunes not connecting with iPod.

    There may be a problem with the iPod updater.
    I have a 15 GB iPod (JQ418QZLQQF)
    Updated iTunes to 5.0.1.4. Connected iPod.
    Got a window...told me to downloaded iPod Updater 9/23/05. Did it.
    Updated iPod. iTunes would start writing and then quit. Got a window; told me to restore iPod.
    Tried restore 7 times. Failed. When iTunes tried to load it stalled, then McAfee Antivirus program hung up, then got messages that it could no longer communicate with iPod ... got (-36) errors.
    Got FAQ sheets. Did everything. Unplugged from internet, disabled antivirus program. No luck.
    Unloaded every non-related program in RAM. No luck.
    Tried iTunes and iPod in SAFE mode. No luck.
    Last error message was "Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. An unknown error occurred (-53)"
    Bought 5th generation 20 GB iPod Color. Plugged it in.
    Reformatted it with the 9/23/05 ipod updater. ... iTunes could not connect to it.
    Tried the 9/6/05 updater. Still didn't work.
    Opened the CD that it came with and installed the 6/5/05 ipod updater software. iTunes immediately recognized the new ipod and loaded songs without failure.

    I ran into this on a client system yesterday. Same issue re: new songs with a dock ipod running ver 2.2.
    I tried to update on three separate g4 based macs, each running 10.3.9. On one, the ipod failed to mount. On the other two, the updater gave the message {approx} "the firmware for the update is not present" when the Update button was clicked.
    For no good reason, I tried using the "Update" in the Options menu instead of the button. I immediately got an administer confirmation box, gave the password, and the update proceded correctly. Monkey behavior triumphs. Got to be an installer bug. Try it and let us know if this works for you.

  • 4s 8.1.3 wireless connected app store won't update when requested

    Couldn't find an exact scenario...also had issues just searching for "4s 8.1.3 Issues" on this forum...kept having issues finding  a match.  I am sure I'm missing something obvious.  Please advise if possible.
    Updated my moms 4s to 8.1.3
    My 6+ was already on 8.1.3
    Selecting "update" in app store, progress circle has one tiny line at 12 0'clock position, it does not progress
    Cellular off, wireless on...connects fine to Safari
    Cellular off, wireless on...connects fine via facetime to my 6+ fine
    My 6+ automatically updates apps on wireless, it update 3 already today
    Successfully updated the apps she absolutely needed via her cellular connection.
    Long story short...my brother upgraded her computer but did not re-install I Tunes.  He not so secretly loathes Apple.  So it's not possible, as yet, to update her phone on ITunes...and I've run out of time today.  I expect that I'll have to update her phone via ITunes once I properly install it...but I still think she should be able to update her apps easily via wireless.

    After several hours of frustration with suggestions that did not work,
    the app store suggested that I try to delete the Remote Desktop App and
    try again.
    After deleting the app, emptying the  trash and rebooting I found that
    clicking the update button would download the App.
    After setting stuff up I found that with 3.5.1 I could:
      1) generate reports from clients.
      2) copy a file by dragging  from a client window to the admin desktop 
    3) the copy to a client command still fails
      4) the remote install still fails.

  • Wifi will not connect with new ios 7 update

    I just downloaded the new ios7 on my ipad mini. I cannot connect to wifi now. It will not find a network and will not work when I type it in. I have tried shuting it down.

    I have tried everything as well.  I hard reset but still nothing.  When I try to erase and reinstall it won't let me because it says no internet connection.  If I knew there would be this many problems I would not have bothered with the update.  Hopefully someone has some insight and help.

  • "One Moment Please...." iTunes not connecting to Store

    i am getting the following message when I try to open the store:
    "one moment please, connecting to the itune store.... loading"
    and nothing happens. the weird thing is, i get this message every time i open itunes...

    I tried the Edit>Preferences thing, and when I clicked on iTunes store link, I got a message saying the iTunes store is not currently available. I haven't been able to get into the iTunes store for over a week (it won't load). I didn't install anything new or change any settings prior to that.

  • Itunes no connection with store.

    The simple answer was to install Safari. But none of those at Apple support ever said that. Are they really so dumb in Apple!!!

    mine had the same problem at first. Try restarting your computer, because your internet browser is obviously working. Restarting worked for me.
