ITunes Won't Connect to the server

We just bought a new computer and it came with Windows Vista Home Basic. For some reason, we can connect to the Internet through Internet Explorer 7 but, nothing else will connect - including iTunes.
I am wondering if anyone has any information about this problem. I realize that some of this isn't within the scope of this forum but, iTunes is affected so I figured I'd bring it up. Wonderful Microsoft wants $79 to fix the problem.
It seems that as soon as we bring up iTunes it IMMEDIATELY brings up a connection time out error. No further information is given.
Any help???????
Thank you so much in advance!

This sounds more like a Vista issue if only IE can connect and no other applications.
It might be more productive to ask on the Microsft Vista community:

There is also a short troubleshooting article here:

My itunes won't connect to the itunes server. Can someone help?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
When you repost, you'll need to include a lot more informaton about your system and the exact nature of the problem. As it is, there's nothing for anyone to base a diagnosis on.

Itunes won't connect to the internet...HELP!

itunes won't connect to the internet everytime i try to accsess the itunes store it says there a connection error and that i need to check my connection. I know i am connected to the internet on SPRINT BROADBAND. What can i do?

I am having the same problem. Upgraded from 8.0.1 to 8.0.2 Everything worked fine before the upgrade. Since the upgrade I can connect to the internet but Itunes will not connect to the itunes store. Network is fine. There is no problem with my firewall. The problem is with upgrade to 8.0.2. I did a system restore to yesterday and itunes is back to 8.0.1 and is running fine. I tried the update again and back to the same old problem. Spent about 6 hours searching for the answer but I have found nothing. If I restore itunes back to 8.0.1 it works and connects to the itunes store. If I upgrade to 8.0.2 itunes will not connect to the itunes store.

My iTunes won't connect to the iTunes store why?

My iTunes won't connect to the iTunes store why?

Hey, I had the same problem with the itunes not connecting to the store thing, I recommend checking your firewall and stuff make sure itunes (or safari) is not blocked, if everything is ok with that (apple apps not blocked), Uninstall Itunes, safari, quicktime icloud and whatever apple app you have on your computer. and get an earlier version.... the problem in some cases? Apple Application Support on itunes 10/quicktime 7 and later, a flaw that apple has to work on I recommend downloading a earlier version of itunes

My Apple TV won't connect to the server...nothing has changed and never had problems before

Help...why can't I suddenly connect to itunes thru my Apple TV to rent movies? It says I can't connect to server

I started having a similar problem late last year. I have just arrived home from LA and I'm still having issues.
My setup for reference:
Comcast 50 down 10 up
AirPort Extreme 5th gen 802.11n version 7.6.4
Connection as seen from AirPort utility data rate 58Mb/s RSSI -70 dBm in 802.11a/n
Apple TV 3rd gen version 6.0.2
Connected to a 47" 1080p Vizio Smart TV over HDMI.
Another Apple TV I have on 6.0.1 is working fine.
I have no issues on any other wireless client connecting to the AirPort Extreme and previously had no issues with my Apple TV.
What I have tried so far:
Reconnecting to the network
A reset of the AppleTV
A restore of the AppleTV
Each time I try any of the above steps the AppleTV will work for a few hours or maybe a day before it will fail to work again and I will need to take any of the above steps to reconnect. I can't even do the network test after it fails as it says it's unable to connect to the server.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? I'm about ready to give up on the AppleTV and buy a chrome cast or Roku as I use streaming almost exclusively for content consumption instead of our horrible Dish network TV which I only use for sports I can't stream on the AppleTV.

ITunes won't connect to the iTunes store

I've tried everything on the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368 and even tried completely removing iTunes using the Control Panel and reinstalling it, but iTunes still won't connect to the iTunes store. I'm just stuck on the loading page.

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:

My mac can see the network but won't connect to the server

I have an intel Imac. The network connect is working but very squirrelly. I see most objects on the network. I can see the server but it will not let me connect.
I go to another mac and I can connect to the server. So I think its my mac 10.7.5 is the OS

Probably nothign to do with your iMac or OS X, have you attempted resetting your router? Also you haven't stated what messages you are getting or any other information. If this is at your work then I'd suggest contacting your IT support person, the connection to your network may be on their end.

ICloud email won't connect to the server

icloud email does not work on my iPhone. It worked for a day or two, but now I get an error message that says "cannot get mail, connection to the server failed." I have deleted the account and reinstalled it to no avail. Any suggestions?
Thank you

Same here. I began getting the "cannot get mail ... Incorrect password" alert on both my iPhone 4s and iPad (3) about two days ago. Oddly, it will retrieve mail at random times, though yesterday it had not populated my phone for 22 hours, despite getting mail on my Mac. I've also noticed it no longer marks mail that ihas been read, consistently across all three.
On both the iPad and iPhone I've gone into mail settings, clicked on the account tab, but then done nothing, and then watched it get mail. Something is definitely amiss with iCloud at this point.

After update to 8.1 game center won't connect to the server " cocoa error 4097"

hello , well after i upgrade to 8.1 and everything seems to be OK
but when i tried to login to the game center it refused and said something about not connecting to the server then i try to login from the settings section so i got this error msg ( cocoa error 4097 )

Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds
On your iPad use Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings - This causes the iPad to forget all WiFi networks. No other settings are affected.

ICloud won't connect to the server

ITunes won't connect to the store, home sharing, or Cloud.

I just got an iPhone, and since I've had a touch before, I know how to use iTunes. Didn't have it on this computer, so I downloaded it, set it up, etc. Now I'm trying to sign into the iTunes store and it insists I have no internet connection. Uh, obviously I do because my browser is working fine, and I just downloaded the program itself. Specifically, it says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error ocurred. (-3212) Make sure your internet connection is active and try again."
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Did I download a wrong version? I'm using Windows 8, I'm running Adblock and Norton, and I have a few games on here. I'm pretty good with computers, but this is stumping me, and everything I've tried isn't working.

maybe its norton/adblock...just guessing
