Itunes store pop up

iOS update required
you must update to the latest version of iOS before you can download this item
i get this pop up and don't know why..im trying to download a ringtone but i do not want iOS 5

I'm sorry but I don't understand how this works.
I use iTunes Store very rarely, just for checking some new release or maybe some podcast.
I never authorized this mac, and I don't want to enter my credit card number if I don't want to buy music from there. I just want to be able to browse it, with no commitment, as I've always done.
The annoying window "accessing iTunes store..." keeps popping up at every launch.
I disabled iTunes Store from preferences, and it keeps coming. I tried the deauthorize-authorize trick, but the Store says I've never been registered, and session times out. I also disabled ping and podcasts... no way.
In one word, I'm stuck. What am I supposed to do to be able to use iTunes as I've been done for 10 years?
Thanks

  • "Accessing iTunes store" pop up

    When I try to type anything into the search bar for artists or songs the "accessing iTunes store" pop up continually opens. It opens after typing each letter and will not allow another letter entry untill the window closes. Just started happening.

  • Accessing iTunes Store - Pop up window

    Does anyone know how to fix this annoying pop up window ''Accessing iTunes Store'' that appears every time I open iTunes or access the iTunes Store? Or anyone out there with same problem?
    Every time I type a letter in the iTunes store search box, the progress bar appears! Grrr
    The Cinematic Orchestra is off the cards at the moment - Maybe some U2 instead.
    The problem first began when I installed iTunes 10.2. All previous versions where fine - no problems. I thought this most recent 10.2.1 update was issued to maybe fix this frustrating glitch. No such luck.
    I have tried reinstalling, clearing my caches and making sure the Safari 'Block Pop Up Windows' option is activated.
    Many Thanks

    I've fixed mine! From a little help from an apple adviser.
    You might want to clear your caches before doing this - under iTunes preferences.
    Open iTunes - go to the top bar, click the 'Store' drop down menu >
    Then click 'De-authorise this Computer' >
    Enter your password etc >
    Then click 'Store' again then click 'Re-authorise this Computer'>
    Enter password etc>
    Restart the Mac>
    Open up iTunes should be fine - worked for me anyway
    Good Luck

  • Trying to access itunes store pop up is continually on screen

    Since the upgrade to 10.2 this morning I cannot seem to get rid of the pop up "trying to access itunes store." I click cancel, it goes away for about 5 seconds and comes right back. I was able to purchase and download a song however the pop up appeared multiple times throughout the process. It's to the point where the itunes store is nearly unusable.
    I tried a reinstall of 10.2 to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

    Took the same route as ricin beans,
    Complete reinstall, as painful as it was... at least it all works now.
    Luckily I've only had my MBP a week and hadn't had anything on it other than music to export/import, no doubt others aren't so lucky and still waiting for Apple's cure, if they ever provide one.

  • TS1702 How to get rid of "Cannot connect to iTunes store" pop-up window

    My iPad is showing a pop-up window that says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". I cannot restart my iPad because I can't get the pop-up to disappear... and I cannot slide the power off option because it's blocked by the "Cannot Connect" popup.
    When I press the OK button in the pop-up window, it flickers, but does not accept the command.

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • Reocurring pop up message 'Accessing iTunes Store'

    Sorry if this question has already been asked on the forums but i was unable to find it!
    I have recently downloaded the newest updates (10.2.1) for my MacBook pro. After the download i reopened iTunes and the message 'Accessing iTunes Store' popped up. I therefore let it load and tried to carry on with my general song browsing and name editing etc, but unfortunately was unable to do so as this message kept popping up! It is very frustrating as it means i can not use my iTunes at all as i don't get a chance to do anything before the message pops up again!
    I have read this problem in forums via google but no one seems to have a solution, so i am guessing it is a problem with the latest software. Please if there is anything you can do to help me, answer my query! It's driving me MAD!
    Thanks!
    FR

    Managed to fix the problem! For all who need help with this similar problem, reopen iTunes, click on 'store' and then on 'authorise computer' and the problem fixes itself!
    Hope this helps everyone!

  • "Accessing iTunes Store" box pops up every time I click on something new on itunes

    When I open itunes it automatically tries to connect to the itunes store but the "connecting to itunes store" status bar keeps popping up even after it has connected.  I'm unable to navigate the itunes store without this status bar popping up.  I've updated to the latest version of itunes (currently version 10.3.1 for mac)  and the same problem occurs.
    I haven't had any luck with the itunes store after uninstalling and reinstalling the software.  I've also tried to "deauthorize this computer" and then "authorize this computer" to try and fix the glitch- but everytime I try and sign into my account I get this message: "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store".  It then takes me to another screen to review my account.  But when I'm brought to the new screen my session times out and I can't review anything.
    I'm going around and around in circles and it's becoming very frustrating.  Does anyone have any other possible solutions???
    I'll give a step by step breakdown of what's happening..
    I open the itunes store.
    Accessing itunes progress bar at the top of the window loads the itunes
    store and after it loads there is still a top window that says
    'accesing itunes store' with a 'stop' button option which stays open
    for aprox. 1 minute after page is loaded.
    I sign in with my account and password.
    A dialouge box appears that says, "This Apple ID has not yet been used
    with the itunes store.  Please review your account information.
    cancel or review option boxes.
    I click review.
    Accessing itunes store progress bar appears in the upper part of the
    window as well as in a seperate window box like before and this box
    stays open after page has loaded like before.
    The window box goes away and the window says, "Welcome to the itunes
    store; To begin creating your apple id click continue".
    I click continue.
    A new window appears and says, "your session has timed out. Try
    again".  option to click a box marked 'done'.
    ...And this takes me back to square one.

    Did you ever resolve the question?
    I have exactly the same complaint and your question has 338 views - which leads me to believe our question is not unique.

  • 'Itunes has stopped working' keeps popping up whenever connected to itunes store

    So whenever I try to connect to the iTunes store, or if ITunes is trying to automatically update from the store, 'iTunes has stopped working' pops up.  Tried EVERYTHING suggested in the community forums, from adding/moving dll files, reloading iTunes, safe mode start, disabling video drivers, moving iTunes profiles, etc. etc.  I even went into the Preferences>Store and unchecked everything to do with updates from the Store. I still can't stop iTunes from crashing.  Only thing that works is to disconnect from the internet.  I can then open up iTunes, however do not have access to the store, so I can play my songs, but can't buy new ones ,or update my songs with any that I purchased on my iphone.  I have been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now.  My daughter has iTunes set up on another account on the same PC and it also crashes.  Using iTunes 11.4, Windows 7 x64.  Using Kaspersky - iTunes is 'allowed'.  Have had Kaspersky for 3 years now. My son has a mac air, no issues.  I have wasted far too much time on this issue.  Any help would be appreciated.  Is there anyone that actually works at Apple that can answer these questions?  They put out all of this software and have no complaints about taking our money when we purchase songs, but we have no way of directly contacting any of them for assistance to issues, unless we have purchased an Apple item in the past year.  Nice to have the community, but at some point an apple expert should get involved!

    Waht is error type?. What platform is it?

  • 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:
