Like the growing amount of others my computer will not connect to the itunes store, why not?

Never had any problems before this.  Tried reinstalling, clean install, previous versions and still cannot connect.
If someone finds the solution, please let me know.

I DO NOT UNDERTAND THIS!  I had deleted a short-cut of itunes from a Program File I created on my
desktop to keep programs together.  From my desktop Itunes icon I created a short-cut back into that folder
and Itunes immediately connected to the store.
If anyone understands what i did and can tell me why that should make a difference I'd be happy to hear it.

  • Why can't Apple TV stream movies like the iTunes store can?

    I'm in the UK with an Apple TV 2nd Gen. 9Mb/s broadband speed checked and have conclusively failed to rent one single movie since I bought this a year ago. Every time I log in, select the film, purchase it, hit play and all I get is "connection error please try later" Playing movie trailers and everything else is fine. Surely the point of renting a movie online is so you can watch it straight away. Lovefilm works just fine via my PS3.
    The other day I tried again on Apple TV with the same error so figured I'd try and rent the movie direct from iTunes Store on my laptop, hey presto, 2 mins later I'm watching my film via my Macbook Pro hooked up to my TV.
    So the big question is: Why can not Apple TV stream a movie like the iTunes Store can? Of course I appreciate that a certain amount of buffering has to happen but that is never evident on Apple TV.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Intermittent problems
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    Consistent Problems
    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports

    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

    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

  • Some of my purchases aren't showing up in my Purchase History in the iTunes store, why is this happening?

    Today, I decided to update my iPod touch via the iTunes store on the actual iPod itself. My iPod hasn't been updated via computer for over a year now because I'm afraid to lose all of my other songs, since my computer crashed a while back and I lost all of my songs. That's why I decided to update it with the purchases I previously made through the iTunes store, that way, it would just add those purchases instead of delete and replace all of the other songs. I know for a fact that my iPod doesn't have any of the new purchases I just made on it, but when I went into my Purchases in the iTunes Store, on both my iPod and computer, there were a lot of songs missing. I know that I purchased them and I purchased them using the same Apple ID because I only have one. The strange thing is, a few weeks ago, those songs showed up in my purchases and I was able to download them into my iTunes playlist on my computer via iCloud, but now that I want to put them on my iPod, a lot of my songs have gone missing. What could have happened?
    Also, when I go into the iTunes Store and look up the songs that I know I've purchased, it says "Play" in the grey bar, but it doesn't show up for download?
    For added information: These songs that are missing are in my iTunes library. I purchased a bunch of Sleeping With Sirens songs and Florida Georgia Line's whole album and those are all missing from my purchases in the store. It says I have one song purchased for Sleeping With Sirens in my purchases and it's a music video, but I know that I have more than just that.

    Did you figure this out?
    Quick glance at your file, 'Text8' Element animats in fine in Chrome. But from what I can gather, all your other elements 'Text7' down to 'Text' are empty?
    Meaning therre is nothing in them. While they exist and you attempt to animate them, they are empty so there is nothing to 'see' beyond the text that exists i element 'Text8'.
    The other elements needs to have text in them.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • The itunes store on my i-pod wont connect to the itunes store why?

    I try to add an app on my ipod and when I type in the username and password it wont let me connect to the itunes store on MY IPOD.

    It sounds like you are connected to the iTunes store but the wrong Itunes ID comes up and you can't change it.  The change the iTunes ID the iPod is signed into go to Settings>Store and then sign out of the existing account and sign into the one you want.
    If you are having another problem please describe better what you are doing/trying to do.

  • In the iTunes Store, why can't I sort songs by popularity anymore?

    I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes on my PC.  I can't tell which version of iTunes it is (how do I find this?).  In my previous version, I could go to the iTunes Store, look up an artist, and sort his/her songs by popularity.  I can no longer do this in the latest version of iTunes.  How do I sort by popularity now?

    Hey Scot Walker,
    Thanks for the question. If you are viewing all albums by an artist, you do have the option to sort by release date. This option is located in the top right corner of the page (it defaults to Bestsellers):
    Note that you will need to click “See All >” from the Artists’ homepage.

    I am trying to transfer my music from my iPod Touch that I purchased on the iTunes app. It says that it is unable to trasnfer my music files. Is it safe to update without transfering them?

    Are you following the instructions here:

    What is the exact wording of the error message?
    Is the computer authorized for the account(s) the purchased the media?

  • How to combine files like the iTunes store does?

    When you buy a Movie or TV Show on iTunes you recieve two versions of it, but it appears as just one file on iTunes. I was just wondering if its possible to do that manually to your own videos that you import into iTunes.

    If you purchase a HD version you also get the SD version. Is this what you are referring too?

  • Why are the original movie soundtrack not included by default when I buy movies from the iTunes Store, Why are the original movie soundtrack not included by default when I buy movies from the iTunes Store

    I assumed that the original soundtrack was part of the movie when I bought a dubbed movie (danish in my case), as is the case with DVD and Blueray movies. Apparently it is not...

    Ha, ha, you are such a tool!
    That profile was written in 2007 and never updated. Unlike you, I don't live on this forum. I have one 5 year old Dell gathering dust, waiting for the trash that has some kids software on it my kids never use.
    Currently I own a 27 inch iMac, and a 21 inch iMac used by my wife. I just sold my MacBook Air, which replaced my MacBook Pro of two years ago. I have an AppleTV v2, and unfortunately gave my AppleTV v1 to a friend before I realized they stripped out the movie purchase feature. We also own an iPad, two iPhones, and 4 iPods, two of which are used as digital music storage for our cars.
    So yes, all of my factual posts concerning Apple's shocking decision to try to hide the fact they removed significant functionality from AppleTV when they revved it, are just driven by the fact that 4 years ago I used almost no apple products. Apparently I harbor a twisted desire to hurt the company that provides me almost all of my technology of choice today, despite being an early software developer for the Mac, helping start two Macinotosh software companies in the 1980s and 1990s, and working at Apple for 2 years in the early 90s.
    The truth is, Apple's products weren't so good 15 years ago so I gradually switched to Windows for professional reasons. About 4 years go I bought an iPhone, and started to wake up to the fact that Apple had done a tremendous job moving the Mac platform to the intel architecture, and was very happy to replace my crappy dells with Apple products.
    But that doesn't mean I wear blinders when their product teams and marketing department makes mistakes, or does something deceptive.

  • IOS apps downloads not in the iTunes Store

    There are many iOS apps downloads site apart from iTunes Store can be downloads. My question is, how can i downloads the apps to my iPad?
    Is it perform as the same as the iTunes store? And why do the price differ from each other. Say for instance, i saw the angry birds are free, but in the iTunes Store is USD1.99?

    The apps cant be download straight to your device, like the iTunes Store does! I'm not sure wheather its legal or unlegal though. Pls check again from the said site, read the instructions and best of luck!
    If you ask me, i rather be download it from iTunes Store rather then gamble it. Maybe it can affect the stability of the apps and thus your device
