ITunes suddenly stopped accessing the internet

iTunes suddenly stopped accessing the internet, so can't get to the iTunes store. All other programs running ok on my Windows 7, 64 Bit system. Have tried Windows Program repair and then Program un-install followed by Program reinstall - neither worked. Again, everything else works on my desktop PC. Even tried removing the anti-virus program. Still no luck.
Apple troubleshooting guide hints do not help.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

TS1814 ITunes can't access the internet for updates or restores?

I'm trying to restore my iPod but my iTunes isn't accessing the internet for it. When I tired to update it it was still unable to access the internet, it can still access the internet for previously purchased songs and for the iTunes store. I'm using Windows 8. I already tried Apple's support, but I can't find an answer, anyone know a fix?
I've already done everything that is on the generic support pages

I had the same problem and this is what I did. On a side note and just a disclaimer as this may not be your issue, but helped with mine. Several months ago, I noticed that my XBOX 360 was not connecting to the live service. I disregarded it at that time because I did not use the Xbox live service much. However, several days ago, I switched security on my wireless router (Belkin N1) and found that my Apple TV could not connect to the internet, but would connect to my local network via wireless. My iMac also would connect, but no internet. I reset my router to factory defaults and found that the Apple TV was pulling a 169.XXX IP address. I had DHCP enabled on the router and I suspect this may be part of the issue, but I manually assigned an IP address to the Apple TV of 192.XXX. I also assigned a manual IP address to my iMac. Now both connect successfully, but is odd how I had DHCP working on both ATV and iMac before and were working. I've tried the Apple TV via wireless and wired and had the same problem before assigning a manual IP address. I assigned a manual address to the XBOX and it now works. The XBOX was also pulling a 169 IP address.
Like I said before, this may be an issue with my router giving out or may be an issue with Mac products but I am not completely sure. I just know that manually assigning the IP address made both systems access the internet now.
Hope this helps and if anyone else has a solution, please post.
Thanks

How do I keep iTunes from accessing the internet? (It's not MiniStore)

I just did a clean upgrade from iTunes 5.0 to 6.0.2. Now, with 6.0.2, however, as soon as it loads up, it tries to access the internet (224.0.0.251 Port 5353).
I realize this is the multicast address, however, I do NOT want iTunes trying to access the internet unless I tell it to. I have already done the following:
1. The MiniStore is hidden
2. Check for updates is turned off
3. Podcasts are set to check for new episodes Manually
I don't want to have to block it at the firewall, because I don't want to lose the ability to have iTunes connect to the internet - I just don't want it doing it without my knowledge and permission.
So, what else can I do to stop this from happening?

It seems, as if me and my client have kind of the same issue. Any suggestions to this: I sent my client an invitation via my iCal from my iMac (using my yahoo calendar as the exchange server). My client accepted the invitation. Now I have deleted this appointment from my iCal and my yahoo calendar. But my client is not able to delete the appointment in his iPhone 4S. What can my client do?
My client already went to the next apple store. There they told him to plug in his iPhone 4S to my iMac. Then he would be able to delete the appointment. Honestly, this does not make any sense to me. Why does my client have to come to me and plug in his iPhone into my iMac to get a meeting deleted. What if my client lived in a different country?????
My client is really upset about this. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

I can't access the internet with Firefox on my computer (Windows 7 PC). I have used Firefox as my browser for 1 year but 5 days ago it stopped working even though Internet Explorer worked fine. I can't solve the problem and need some help.Randy Brown

Dear Mozilla,
I am having some difficulty accessing the internet with Firefox on one of my PC computers. I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser and google is my homepage and gmail is my email system. The operating system is Windows 7. For over a year this system worked perfectly but a few days ago it stopped working. When I launch Firefox now I get the message that that website (www.google.com) is unavailable. In fact, I can’t access any website and I am blocked from the internet entirely within Firefox. My internet connection is fine because Internet Explorer works fine. I can access google and any other website within that web browser. I have investigated all the security issue I can manage and found no smoking gun. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Is Windows 7 compromising the effectiveness of Firefox? Any suggestions or other assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Randy Brown

My ipad mini doesn't have a web browser! Help. I can't access the internet or iTunes or the app store. The web browser icon isn't even there.Anyone know what to do?

I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
All else fails? Restore it.

I was using my wifi last night when I got an error message stating my ip address had been taken over. Then safari stopped working and i can no longer access the internet. I looked at my ip address and it states 000.000.000....can someone please help?

Sounds like a bogus pop up. In any case power down your Mac, your modem, your router. Then power back up in 1 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

I can no longer use my iPad 3 since downloading IOS 7. I can't access the internet, can't get into the app store, or itunes. Can't download anything or receive or send e-mails. Not happy. Wish I had waited.

Problems after downloading the lastest version of iTunes for my iPod Touch. Now whenever I switch on my laptop and access the internet I get an error message. 2nd time this has happened and I'm fed up trying to fix it. Anybody having similar problems?

I've downloaded iTunes 10.5 onto my iPod Touch, no problems but I've now got a constant error message on my laptop everytime I switch it on and access the internet. The message is "The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll"
This is the 2nd time this has happened. Last time iTunes Support called and we ran through a load of checks to no avail. The only option was to delete iTunes completely off my laptop and go for a new download of it. Can anybody tell me how to do it - didn't write it down last time, silly me, never thought it would happen again. Also sent an email to iTunes Support - waiting for a response.

Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7.6, iTunes cannot access the internet

I upgraded from iTunes 7 to iTunes 7.6 yesterday. Ever since then, I cannot access the iTunes store, check for updates, etc. because iTunes cannot connect to the internet. Everytime I try to connect to the iTunes store, I get this error message:
iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store.
Make sure your network connection is active and try again.
What can I do? I already checked the firewall, and did everything the Apple support page said. I tried restarting it. I un-installed then re-installed it. I don't know what to do. Please help!

Are your podcasts mp4s?
I did some more research, and found out you can reset the warnings on your iPod, which will give you a message explaining why your files aren't uploading. (Right click on your iPod in the Source column, and select Reset Warnings.)
When I did this, my warning told me that these podcasts couldn't be uploaded because they're the wrong file type. I checked, and they're mp4s. Which makes no sense, because my iPod has no problem uploading other videos that are mp4s--it labels them as movies. But for some reason, if they're podcasts, it won't accept them.

Stopping Help Viewer accessing the internet

Hi,
I'd like to stop the Help Viewer accessing the internet as I occasionally hit network glitches and the help viewer then hangs waiting on the network so that I can't use it.
Can anyone suggest how I do this?
Many thanks,
Jens

Try use an app like LittleSnitch
from the website:
Little Snitch informs you whenever a program attempts to establish an outgoing Internet connection. You can then choose to allow or deny this connection, or define a rule how to handle similar, future connection attempts.

Ting screwy. I deleted the app and reset my ipod but I still can't access either Itunes stores, send messages, or access the internet. What should I do?

I downloaded nds4ios for my ipod touch and now it's acting screwy. I deleted the app and reset my ipod but I still can't access either Itunes stores, send messages, or access the internet. What should I do?

Hi Seabiscuit564,
It sounds as if your issues here are all related to not having a good connection to the Internet from your iPod touch. I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

When I open a second Profile while another is running the second cannot access the Internet until I close the first. Why?

I often have occasions to run more than one Profile simultaneously (usually because of different add-ons I've installed on different Profiles). In the past this worked fine. Now, all of a sudden, if I open a second Profile while the first is running the second cannot access the Internet until I close the first. It keeps looking for a website, and failing, until the system "times out". If I close the first Profile, the second is then able to access the Internet.
Note: this is not a problem with opening a second Window in Firefox. As long as they are from the same Profile they will both work fine. Nor does this stop me from using a second Profile to look at website files I have saved to my computer. The only problem is that the second Profile cannot get on the Internet.

I just checked, the setting was for "Automatic proxy configuration URL", in the past it was set on "No Proxy". So I'll try changing that (and/or try other proxy options), and see if that solves the problem.
If it does, then just one (academic) question remains: why did that happen in the first place? I don't care what the answer is, so long as your suggestion solves the problem.
Thanks.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....
