ITunes store keeps saying no internet connection but i am connected

downloaded newest patch 12.1 and now I cannot connect to the iTunes store. The previous version of iTunes gave me absolutely NO problems at all with this, only after I download newest patch now I have problems. I tried reinstalling iTunes about 5 times and still not working. Then I checked my firewall and even turned my Windows firewall off, still an issue. My computer has more than enough space requirements so I know that is not the problem. I see that obviously people other than me are also having this problem also, so if anybody has had success in rectifying this problem. Getting very frustrated and want the old iTunes back now. Thank You

Hello neilmac37,
I read your post, and it sounds as though you can't connect to the iTunes Store. I have located an article which provides troubleshooting steps for that issue:

ITunes store keeps saying that my session has timed out when trying to buy a product from the store

I Tunes is telling me that my session has timed out when trying to buy a gift voucher, which i have done many times before.
The most recent change i'v made to my computer before this happened was to download an update (MacOSX updatecombo 10.7.3dmg)
a couple of weeks ago. I'v turned off the firewall as suggested whilst trying to transact and turned it back on again, but don't know
what else to try. The problem is three days old as i left and came back to it to see if there might be a glitch in the system.
I'v been able to access the credit i have in the store, but not buy the itunes voucher to email to my own a/c. Please help someone if you can
Sandystone.

Thanks for your suggestion Ned01, I tried this as a last ditch attempt, unfortunatly it made no difference in my case, but i'm pleased it did for you. However, because you reminded me to have another go at this problem, i tried something else (which i'd unsucsessfuly tried before), that is, i deleted the 'CLICK & SAVE " a/c i'd set up recently, and reverted to my previous payment me and would you know it , this time it worked !! I set up a trail purchase and it worked.
It seems to me that other poeple with this problem have to solve it by trail and error, but thank you for your help.Sandystone..

My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection

As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

Hey guys, I'm trying to update my itunes but it keeps on saying error, and when i try go onto itunes it keeps saying connection restarted!!

update keeps saying error when i try download the new itunes and when i try and go onto my itunes it keeps saying connection restarted, check connection!! any help would be appreciated!!

A few things to try.
Download iTues from here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
and save it on your PC, it's generally best to do this if you are having problems.
Try using a different browser for the download.
If you are using a wifi connection, try a wired connection if you can.
This problem has been associated with router problems also accessing the internet via a wireless dongle.
Try restarting your router.
But in the end if none of this helps the simplest thing is to get a friend to download iTunes for you and put it on a memory stick. Preferable checking that it works first.

Hi,
I am going on iTunes and it is saying that I am not connected to the internet but I am. I was on iTunes last a few days ago. Please help...
iTunes is a program on your computer, it is not "the Internet". The fact that the program runs has no bearing on Internet connectivity.
Maybe if a little more information was supplied, like version of the Operating system on the computer and version of iTunes, then a little more assistance could be provided.

TS1398 my ipad is connected to my wi-fi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet nev    er works and it is always loading. i dont understand as it is a brand new ipad.

my ipad is connected to my wifi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet never works and it is always loading but never working. I dont understand why as my computer works for my wifi and my brand new ipad should too.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

That means you have to sign into/view your account and review you account and make sure you have a valid payment method specified in your account.

You cannot use the iTunes Store of any country other than one one in which you live and have a payment method. If the Sound Cloud app is no longer available in your country's iTunes Store, then that app will not be available to you. Contact the developer and ask if they have any plans to re-release it in your country; it may have been removed due to a problem or pending update and will be reinstated at some point.

Unable to connect to iTunes Store using a 3G data card, but fine on wifi???

I am unable to connect to the iTunes Store when making use of my 3G data card - serviced by the South African Service Provider MTN. A message pops up saying "iTunes cannot connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your connection is active and try again." Fantastic! What baffles me is that I am able to connect to the iTunes Store through a Wi-Fi hotspot, but not when using the 3G card. I have checked my Internet connection, checked for PC updates (Windows 7) updated my iTunes, un-installed and re-installed the programme, but to no avail. Any ideas?

I beleive I may have found a workaround to this issue. In "Settings" select "Safari". Then change "Block Cookies" from "Never" to "From third parties and advertisers". Lastly clear your history and cookies & data. After completing these steps I was able to enter the iTunes store again.
I don't know why this worked but this was not necessary when using iOS 6. Hopefully Apple is aware of this "bug" and will fix soon.
