Itunes store wont load- Windows vista

My itunes store refuses to open. It gives me a notification that says "Itunes could not connect to itunes store. The network Connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again"
Im new to itunes and dont know what is wrong. I completely shut down my antivirus software, I added it to my firewall exceptions list, I uninstalled it and reinstalled, I changed my internet sharing settings to media sharing on. I have no clue what to do.
It wont let me use the itunes help and the notification says "iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn’t connected to the Internet.
To view iTunes Help, make sure you’re connected to the Internet, then choose iTunes Help from the Help menu." But my internet is connected and Im able to surf the web.
Please help!

This is solution for XP, but similar should work for you:
Open Internet Explorer (even if you have been using Firefox), which iTunes uses.
Go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings > De-select the Proxy server Box.
The upgrade turned it on and it should be off.

Your signature in 1st post was 10.8.2.
You went backwards?
Did you reformat and reinstall when you first purchased it?
If not I HIGHLY recommend you do that before you do anything else.

everytime I try to open the store it endlessly says "accessing iTunes store" but it never opens.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Downloading songs from itunes store on a Windows Vista PC

Hello All I have a problem. I bought a new laptop about 3-4 weeks ago. It has Vista installed on it. I didnt have any problem installing or using itunes. My problem is i cant download songs that i have bought from the itunes store. I keep getting a "network Connection Timed Out" Error. I have a good internet connection and everything is good. I have installed the newest version of the itunes software and i still get the same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks

Problems signing into itunes store account from windows vista

I have recently downloaded the latest version of itunes for a new computer running Windows Vista. I already have an apple ID account to use with the store and have been able to access this on other computers, but every time I try to sign in on the new computer it has an error message that the "network connection has timed out". I have searched for help for this, which appears to be a common issue, and all the recommended solutions like checking firewall settings have not helped as I am still unable to sign in. My internet connection is fine, and I am able to access the store itself, just not my account.
If anyone could help with this problem I would be very grateful.

Excellent. If you ever want to uninstall that trial Norton, keep in mind that you need a special removal tool from Symantec. Simply uninstalling it via Add/Remove Programs does NOT delete it from your PC. It really is horrible software.

ITunes Store wont load on my iMac or Macbook Pro

After updating iTunes to the latest version, 11.1.1, on both my iMac and Macbook Pro I have not been able to log in and view my account details. I also had trouble downloading previous purchases. I had to quit the program 3 times and re-download the purchased items just to get them into my library. When I do attempt to log into my account area to view details, the Grey box at the top of the screen just says "Accessing iTunes Store" with the spinning bar for about thirty (30) seconds then it just goes Grey with the Apple Logo in the center and never pulls up my information?
Is anyone else having this same issue? And has anyone figured out a work around?

This doesn't work for everybody.   Case in point:
How many of you use the gaming NICs from Bigfoot Networks like the Killer Xeno Pro and so forth?   You can type: netsh winsock reset   all you want, but when Windows 7 reboots, you get a message box saying the "LSP needs to be reset. Do you want to do this now?"
If you say NO, it will keep popping up and annoying you until you do.   In the meantime iTunes Store loads perfectly. Once you allow that message to reset the LSP, the iTunes Store no longer loads.   I have brought this up with the people at Bigfoot Networks by putting in a trouble ticket...for whatever good it will do.
These NICs are supposed to be fine tuned and tested for online gaming and I've never had an issue with it until now. My iTunes has always loaded just fine with it before iTunes 10.5.   So, maybe it's an issue on Apple's end as well.    I just wanted to post this an let everyone who owns these cards know what I found.
Thanks.

Itunes Store Wont Load Correctly

For the last few days, I have been unable to access the Itunes store on my computer (windows 8) Itunes (11.1.4) or my Ipod ( iOS 6.1.5). On both it comes up as loading but continues that indeffently.
On my computer it occasionaly partly loads, I can see the itunes store cant click on anything nothing loads no pictures show. I also cannot update any apps I have but am not getting any error messages they will just continue to say updating.
I have checked that everything is up to date, My internet connection is working as any other program that uses internet is working fine. I have also had no recent changes to internet security and my itunes account is the only one on the computer. I have tried many fixes that seem to work for other people but no sucess.
PLEASE HELP.

Any tips then as to how to resolve it? I've uninstalled / reinstalled itunes and allsorts of other things but still no joy.

Itunes store wont load - no error message :-/

Hi everyone,
Recently, for some unknown reason, itunes store will not load on my laptop. Strangely no error message appears it just starts loading and then stops half way through. I have tried diagnosis, repair, re-installing it completely, checking internet connection and nothing has worked. Has anyone else experienced this and if so can anyone help? I thought it might be down time at first but this has been happenning for over a week now :-(
Cheers,
Nick.
