Itunes WONT load the itunes music store!

i havent had this problem before. its pretty recent that it has occured. whenever i go to click itunes music store the loading bar appears like normal and it just keeps loading. i could let it sit there for hours and nothing would happen... it doesnt say CANNOT CONNECT.
-I have downloaded the most recent version of itunes so i know that isnt the problem
Please help

I am subscribed to a similar thread and thought I would confirm the information on that one.
I too have never had a problem with the music store and then, all of a sudden, couldn't connect. I was getting an error message saying iTunes could not connect and I should check my browser. Did that and still nada so I posted on here (not having been able to negotiate the Apple website sufficiently to obtain an e-mail address!)
It appears that Windows recently put out a load of security updates and this may well be the reason that anyone using iTunes on Windows may not be able to connect. The security patch they have released apparently stops iTunes connecting to the internet and hence no downloads!
Apparently the Apple bods have said that this is a Windows patch and thus a Windows issue and should be fixed by Microsoft and they don't intend to do anything about it!
However, I reckon that as soon as someone notices that the revenue from sales has dropped significantly, someone will fix it. In the meantime though, it appears no solution on the horizon!
Oh how I pine for my Technic 1210's!

  • I just installed the itunes 10.5.2 on my pc and it wont access the itunes store. the same thing happened when i did the update to 10.5.1. can someone help me out

    just installed the new update 10.5.2 and now my itunes wont access the itunes store. can any1 help me out?

    I have had this same problem since uprading to 10.5.1.  I just checked 10.5.2 and it's still broken.  
    Are you behind a proxy server that requires authenication?  I am and I was fine with 10.5.1 until I had to change my proxy server password. 
    Previous versions of iTunes used to prompt for new proxy credentials but the 10.5.x versions don't.

  • Stolen laptop. new one wont load the music cause the itunes is on the old 1

    someone stole my laptop that itunes was on bought a new one but itunes wont recognize the ipod as belonging to this new pc so it wont sinc the purchased songs or the podcasts how do I fix this
    < Edited by Host >

    Have you authorized the new computer? From the Store menu, chose Authorize computer. Once the computer is authorized, you should be able to transfer all of your purchases to the new computer from your iPod.
    And, you may want to have your new computer looked at as none of your punctuation keys seem to work, making it very hard to understand what you're trying to say.
    Best of luck.

  • I just installed iTunes on my computer, where I already have all my music. I went to Edit Preferences Advanced, and changed the iTunes Media Folder Location to where I have all my music, in the "Local Disk." But iTunes wont import all my music. Help?

    Have you looked in the Music App on your iPhone? On the iPhone music is played by the Music App not iTunes.

    Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album.  These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer.  If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
    If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.

  • Itunes wont see the music on ipod classic

    itunes wont see the music on ipod classic

    If you can see the songs but they are "greyed out" it's because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
    If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.

  • Itunes will not load the itunes store

    I have windows XP and intunes IS installed correctly. When try to load the itunes store or Ping through itunes, it loads halfway than freezes everytime. I can load every other tab (Library,Downloads,Purcased) and load just fine. I even unistalled and reinstalled but no luck. Any Ideas?

    Same problem here, itunes loads halfway, then basically stops at a blank page which is where i started at to begin with.
    1) I've checked all firewalls and antivirus securities.
    2) I've restarted my computer and disabled all programs except for itunes
    3) check proxy settings
    4) reinstalled itunes
    5) ran "ipconfig" per apples recommendation.
    Still doesn't work. Need help!

  • I have transfered all my music onto an external hard drive from my old computer and itunes wont recognize the songs in my library...help!!

    **** YOU ITUNNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi,
    I did the same XP to Windows 7 upgrade about 18 months ago.   I decided to keep iTunes permanently on the external drive than the c drive to save c: drive space. 
    ITunes database has pointers to MP3 files located in Artist's directories.  If you want to use a different location than the default C:\ drive for iTunes, then you need to recreate the Itunes database by deleting all songs in iTunes, then change the default location for iTunes files to your external drive.  Then import the MP3 files from the external drive into the empty iTunes database through the iTunes import facility.  
    If you screw up the timing of the import and find you have multiple iTunes directories (instead of just the default location), then iTunes has a new feature to consolidate all iTunes MP3 files back into the central default location.  In iTunes, FILE, LIBRARY, ORGANIZE LIBRARY, then CONSOLIDATE FILES.
    To change the default directory for MP3 files, in Tunes go to EDIT, PREFERENCES, ADVANCED and then CHANGE the location to where you want the Itunes MP3 files to be located (including the iTunes subdirectory under which all the artist directories are held.  Mine are on the F: drive or whatever your computer states is your drive assignment for the external drive.
    Note iTunes 10.5 has many problems that Apple hopefully are working on....we seem to have gone backwards on working components in this iCloud based release.  So maybe keep on using old computer until 10.6 is released.
    Enjoy

  • Itunes wont load pages

    Hi,

It will connect b/c i see the music tv movies and other categories, when i click on any of the tabs it WONT LOAD. It will give me a half load bar then stop loading. It will just give me a white page.... PLEASE HELP ME.. I havent disabled anything because i dont know how please tell me how to do that.... Also i have downgraded to the latest verison of itunes still nothing... so i repaired 10.5 STILL NOTHING..
    Thanks,
    Nathan Patel

    Isn't there a special beta forum you're supposed to ask? Just wondering.
    On current versions of itunes, many folks have had luck with going to
    itunes > edit > preferences > parental tab.
    Disable the itunes store, save the changes. Quit itunes, then start itunes back up.
    Go back into the parental tab and enable the itunes store.
    Good luck!

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • My itunes wont check for purchased music

    Every time I try to check for purchased music, my password and log in id are correct and my Internet connection is there, but every time I check, it tells me that it cannot check for purchased music and an unknown error has occurred, 11502. I need help because I cannot down load music that I have already purchased.

    Hi Rickey,
    I think you should contact the Music Store customer service agents to get help on this one. To contact them, go to the iTunes Help menu and select Music Store Service and Support and then click "iTunes Music Store
    Customer Service" on that page.
    Good luck,
    Sara.
