Itunes Store Can't Make Secure Connection

I can't access my iTunes account , create a new one or download any items from the store, free or otherwise from both my PC and iPod Touch. I cant see the downloads button in itunes. Internet connection is fine, can access all other internet pages via firefox on pc and safari on my ipod touch :)I can also browse iTunes store pages but just can't download anything, upon clicking the donwloadbutton nothin happens.
I have re-installed itunes, checked SSL 3.0 Etc, all the steps that apple said would fix this. I have AVG 9.0 full installed but turned it off and there was no change.
I ran a diagnostic on the internet connection and got this result.

I've went through several e-mails to apple support and all they do is give me links to the articles I have already seen and tried ><
Any help will be much appricated,

If my first two suggestions didn't work, things get more tricky.
Very rarely, secure connection problems can be caused by issues with Windows cryptographic services. You could try the method in this article about something else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1593?viewlocale=en_US
You could also try restarting your router.
Do you have any other PCs at your location and if so can they connect to the store?
If you are using a laptop, have you tried another location. (These are tests to see if the problem is PC/router/ISP related)
You can downgrade easily, you need to uninstall iTunes, then install the old version and then rebuild you library from the xml library file as it will not work with the old itunes.

  • Error message we could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active

    Can Anyone help with this message which occurs when I am trying to update my iMatch, it says "gathering information about your library" & then after a few mins when the progress band gets almost to the end, I get the message "we could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active & try again"
    Support has told me that its a problem with my connection, but I disagree, how come I can download countless songs from iTunes without ever getting this message, I think they are bullsh***g me to get rid of me.
    I have even followed their advice & totally disabled all my antivirus, adwatch & firewall software & it still does it.
    Can anyone help with this

    Hi mate, well I really dont know why but last night it started to work out of the blue, you might want to check yours again as they may have fixed a bug??
    I did absoultely nothing different yesterday to make it start working, I had previously disabled all my antivirus, firewall, anti tracker etc etc & it didnt sort it.
    The only thing that happened yesterday was my laptop went dead flat & I had to a reboot (dont choose System Resume, which I normally do) I chose the other option in error & had to wait nearly an hour whilst my PC "repaired files etc" & it also downloaded a load of updates (had that message "dont power off, as updates are in progress")
    I really dont know if that sorted the issue or Apple fixed the bug yesterday but its working.
    Good luck

    How can I listen to my itunes on my ipad (3) when not connected to wifi? It shows a screen stating that the Itunes store can not be accessed.

    You have to sync your music to your iPad, this can be done from a WiFi connection to your iCloud account for those purchased from the iTunes store.  Non-iTunes music has to be synced using iTunes Match, a fee is charged for that premium service.

    I can no longer connect to the ITunes Store. CAn you help? When I do the diagnostics it says Securie link to itunes store failed.

    I think I may be having the same problem.  "We could not complete your iTunes Store request.  The network connection timed out.  Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again."   All tests pass the diagnostics.  iPhone restored to factory settings in DFU mode, but when beginning to sync I get this error message.  I've been searching online for fixes and tried several suggestions, but nothing worked so far.  (disabled antivirus, firewall, ie settings, uninstall/reinstall itunes...)  I'm getting very frustrated & hoping someone on here can help.  

  • Why can't Apple TV stream movies like the iTunes store can?

    I'm in the UK with an Apple TV 2nd Gen. 9Mb/s broadband speed checked and have conclusively failed to rent one single movie since I bought this a year ago. Every time I log in, select the film, purchase it, hit play and all I get is "connection error please try later" Playing movie trailers and everything else is fine. Surely the point of renting a movie online is so you can watch it straight away. Lovefilm works just fine via my PS3.
    The other day I tried again on Apple TV with the same error so figured I'd try and rent the movie direct from iTunes Store on my laptop, hey presto, 2 mins later I'm watching my film via my Macbook Pro hooked up to my TV.
    So the big question is: Why can not Apple TV stream a movie like the iTunes Store can? Of course I appreciate that a certain amount of buffering has to happen but that is never evident on Apple TV.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems
    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. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    Consistent Problems
    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
    Port
    Type
    Protocol
    Used By
    80
    TCP
    HTTP
    AirPlay

    MDNS (Win)
    Bonjour/AirPlay
    49163
    UDP
    MDNS (Win)
    Bonjour/AirPlay
    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

  • We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection...

    Hi,
    I have recently downloaded iTunes (three times now) due to getting an ipod for Christmas. When I first tried to buy anything off the iTunes Store I got the following error box "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection timed out. Make sure you netowkr connections are correct and your netowkr connection is active, then try again." so I have searched the internet for a possible solution, firstly I found I had to stop block-up poppers, i done this and I could buy an album...perfect. The next day I tried buying something else, but alas could not and instead keep receiving the above error message. So far I have tried:
    Re-installing iTunes
    Flushing the DNS
    Turning off the firewall (both windows and router)
    Turning off block-up poppers
    Disabling virus protection
    The error message is obviously not accurate as I am still able to search the web through internet explorer and Firefox. If anybody has any suggestions to help out that would be great.

    You can buy MP3s at any online music download store and add them to your iTunes library, and sync them to your iPod. Some stores add them automatically. Try the amazon.com MP3 Download Store, for example.

  • Itunes store won't let me connect

    For the past week the Itunes store won't let me connect. It says "itunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the itunes store within itunes...use software update"

    Any ideas? I purchase music from itunes almost weekly so this is a real pain right now.
