ITunes Requires Safari 4.0.3 to Access Store: Help??

I have had a recent problem with the iTunes store after updating to iTunes 9.1 and Safari 4.0.5 (from 3.2.something). Though I am sure I updated Safari, I get a recurrent message that I need to update Safari to at least 4.0.3, but I already have done this!! I heard a new version of webkit may be to blame, and have tried to reinstall both applications, but it says "this volume does not meet the requirements from installation". I am afraid to totally delete iTunes or Safari for fear that I'll never be able to get it back. Any input is appreciated.

You can download Safari again and install it. You don't need to delete anything.
Get it here: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Be sure to choose the Tiger version:
You'll also need Security update 2009-002 or higher.
The Intel version is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL817
The PPC version is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL818
Lastly, you need cookies enabled in Safari, at least for sites you visit. You can set that in Safari > Preferences > Security as shown here:

ITunes Requires Safari 4.0.3

Hi -
When I try to go to iTunes store in iTunes 9, I get a message that says:
iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari.
I tried to follow the directions, and Software Update says that there is no software to be installed. When I checked my Safari version, it says 4.0.3. Why is this happening? Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hmm…more data points. If I access my private iTunes U site (I am my school's iTunes U admin), I can get access to "iTunes U in the iTunes Store" by clicking on the "iTunes U" button in the new segmented control/tab bar (where the breadcrumbs bar used to be). So, again, it appears as though iTunes U (private, public and iTunes U in the iTunes Store) does not yet participate in the new store's setup. Again this makes me think that the new store sends some kind of client-side script (JavaScript?) that checks my Safari version and that that code does not correctly determine that I'm good-to-go?
Just thinking out loud.

How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari" bc I can't download the latest software?

How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari". I cannot download this software bc my lap top is to old. The msg literally pops up everytime I make any moves on itunes and is VERY annoying.

I have a 2006 MacBook with an Mac OS X version 10.5.
In that case, try downloading a Safari 5.0.5 for leopard from the following location:

'iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to use the iTunes store within iTunes'

In iTunes 10.5 on my Mac OS X 10.5.2, this message keeps popping up;
"'iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to use the iTunes store within iTunes"
This pops up every 5 or so seconds, so its really annoying if im trying to listen to music. There is no 'don't show this message again' option so its really getting on my nerves! The only way to get update Safari is though a software update and I am scared that if I do a software update, my Mac could crash again, like it did the last time and I had to spend €130 to get it fixed!
My question is:
1) should I do a software update and
2) how can I stop this message apart from updating?
Thanks in advance,
Hannah.

ITunes requires safari 4.0.3 or later...

<p style="padding: 0pt; margin: 0pt;" mcestyle="padding: 0pt; margin: 0pt;">iTunes requires safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes store within iTunes. That is the message I get. I just had Leopard 10.5.6 installed ( at the mac store while getting optical drive repair ). After being prompted by the software updater several times, I got around to doing the updating today. iTunes 10.2.2 was installed. Now I keep getting this message when I try to go into the store. The problem is the 4.0.3 requires Leopard 10.5.7. I can't upgrade higher than 10.5.6 at this time due to use of some hardware that only works with up to OS 10.5.6. I can't believe this can be true that one would be locked out of the iTunes store unless using a specific version of safari. Please tell me this is a mistake and there is a way around this. Thanks in advance for help...

ITunes requires Safari 4.0.3 message box

Hi !!
I usually got this message box after I open iTunes 10.1.1
"itunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the i Tunes store. Within iTunes.
Use de software update and bla bla bla..." And I've opened the software update and I doesn't solve the problem...
Well I got Safari 4.0.3 installed already
I've uninstalled iTunes and installed it again, and the message from iTunes persists.
I've downloaded safari 5.0.3 Snow Leopard, I was trying to install it and a message pops up
saying that I can't install Safari on this machine.
Do got something in mind ?
Thanks!!
Rui

i'm having the same problem... OS 10.5.6 and iTunes 10.2.2 1) I'm mad that this is happening. Seems really silly ( putting it nicely ). 2) I'm more angry that there are no answers here.. So we upgrade and are now locked out of the iTunes store? I can't use safari 4.0.3 because that requires OS 10.5.7. I can't upgrade to that just yet as I would have to spend $ on updating hardware I'm using that only works with up to OS 10.5.6. Are there yet any answers out there?

ITunes 11 crashes every time when I accessing store

iTunes 11 crashes every time when I accessing store. Windows 7 Pro, 64bit. Support document ht1923 wasn't helping :-(. Is it possible to make a downgrade?

Before reverting back to 10.7, which caused me to loose folders on my iPad try looking at the reply by gn_id in this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4555900?start=30&tstart=0 . Seems his suggestion has helped severla people by running the FixIt file from MS.

ITunes app quits unexpectedly when trying to access store

Every time i try to get on to the store to buy songs my iTunes quits.i get a message that says " The application iTunes quit unexpectedly" It never did that before. I can play my music and videos just fine but i cant access the store.. it happens on my iphone too. i cant access iTunes on my iPhone. i have all the latest downloads and all my software has been updated.. according to my computer.
can someone help me?

Am having exactly the same problem. Unexpected quit when trying to connect to the store. The loading bar goes nearly the full way up and then it crashes. Appears to be a Java problem according to the error report.
Problem occurs on a mini 1.8 running 10.5.4 with iTunes 7.7. Problem occurred on 7.6 as well, and possibly earlier. No problem on my MB 2.2 with 10.4.11 and iTunes 7.7.
Permissions repairs, preference clears, and the usual fixes haven't worked.

ITunes 12.1 still frequently crashes when accessing store

When I updated to iTunes 12.0.1 from iTunes 11.4, iTunes started frequently crashing on launch or if it would launch, when accessing the store. This continues with iTunes 12.1.0.71. It's crashing less often, but still does. When it doesn't crash, I frequently get messages about network connections being reset. I can sometimes get to the store, sometimes not. Trying to update Genius or iTunes Match always fails though. If I try to run the network diagnostics, it also crashes.
The above problems only happen when I'm in my office. If I'm at home or if I VPN to my home, iTunes works fine. 11.4 works fine at my office so iTunes isn't blocked by my corporate firewall, but for whatever reason 12 and up has problems.
Crash that occurs on startup, trying access iTunes account or iTunes store:

Hello Morac,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes for Windows unexpectedly quitting. Most of these issues can be resolve by using the following article - I’d give the steps a go even though you have isolated the issue pretty well:

Itunes shutting down when I try to access store

Temporarily fixed itself the other day and I was able to rent a movie... but hadn't been working properly for a week or so... and even the charge for a film I'd rented previously came through onto my statement only once the program worked again.
Has stopped working again... I keep getting the 'windows will let you know if there is a solution' but I haven't had a solution yet
Please help

Any help would be greatly appreciated

ITunes 10.2.2 requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed

I am running Mac osx 10.6.7 and I have updated Itunes to 10.2.2 and I am getting the "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari." message.
I have read many articles on how to fix this, however now I am stumped because I have updated all my software and yet it still gives me the message.
Any suggestions?

I dunno. If it was me, I'd download and install both programs again. This won't affect your data.

Itunes crashes when I try to access store

Itunes works fine, until I try to access store, when the whole program crashes. Clicking on the itunes store button causes the gray loading bar on top of the screen to progress as usual, but whole program crashes when it fully loads. The following message from windows is displayed:
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

ITunes and Safari access problems

Running 10.3.9 with Safari 1.3.2
Suddenly I am having problems with iTunes and Safari. I can no longer access my account in iTunes, get Keychain Invalid error, I have run Keychain first aid, nothing works. Completely deleted all keychains, and still no access
I also can no longer download from Apple site, have limited access to areas on the Apple site. Certain pages from the Apple site aren't loading completely.
Certain other websites not accessible anymore, getting "couldn't establish secure connection" error message.
Seems like something changed in my security settings.
Can access from other computers in house, so not a ISP problem.
Any suggestions on what might be causing problem.

kevgil,
It is not necessary to post a duplicate topic asking the same question. If you find that you are not receiving help from someone you can always "bump" your existing topic by just replying to it. That will of course bring it to the top of the list.
Anyways, you mention "Can access from other computers in house, so not a ISP problem". It would help to know if these other computers are using 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.2? Are these computer connected in any different manner than the affected computer that you are having the problem with.
Did you try the browser that I suggested in your previous topic (Camino 1.6.8)? Safari 1.3.2 is no longer supported and will have many problems with certain websites and their features (such as flash version etc.) Please try Camino and let us know if the problem persists. This will at least let everyone know that the problem is not with an outdated browser.

Recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.5.5 - have an older G4 which is max'd out upgrade-wise - both processor and OS. At present Safari is 3.1.2. Itunes is 9.2.1. Itunes will not allow me to connect to store - says it requires Safari 4.0.3 - however, when I try to download Safari 4.0.3 or newer it says it requires an older version of the OS. What to do?

Update v10.5.5 to v10.5.8
Download and install the combo > Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update
Then restart your Mac.
That should update Safari for you to 5.0.6 and that should help with iTunes.
If necessary, after updating to v10.5.8, you can use the standalone Safari installer here > Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard
