I can not access Itunes Store from my computer. When I run the dianostic I get a red light that says "Secure Link to the Itunes Store Failed".

I can not access Itunes Store from my computer.
When I run the diagnostic tool for network connectivity, my network connects but I get a Red light that says "SECURE LINK TO THE ITUNES STORE FAILED".
Can anyone help me on this problem?

ITunes won't connect all I get is the "accessing iTunes store......". With the bar scrolling but no connection.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Podcast artwork shows up in the iTunes store, but not after downloading

I have several podcasts in iTunes and the artwork for all the shows show up in the iTunes store without an issue. However, if you download a podcast, the artwork does not show up in the library of iTunes or transfer to the iPhone.
All images are 600X600
Any Ideas?
My podcasts are part of the Music Podcast Network. If you search "mpn" in iTunes, they are easily found. MPN: Pop, Country, Hip-Hop, etc.
I also use Feedburner. Here is a link to one of my shows:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/mpnpop
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you. However the answer is more for someone who is downloading podcasts, while I want to make sure there is not an issue when someone downloads one of my podcasts. I use smartfeed in feedburner and have the image included. When I preview the image in feedburner, it looks perfect. However, the image is not being downloaded in iTunes when you download a single episode. I also have the image selected for each episode when I publish on my libsyn accounts. An example is: http://mpnpop.libsyn.com/
Still confused here. Any help would be most appreciated!

The new U2 album shows purchased via the itunes store on my windows computer, but doesn't appear in my library

the new U2 album shows purchased via the itunes store on my windows computer, but doesn't appear in my library

On your Windows computer, go to the iTunes Store. On the right column of the iTunes Store under QUICK LINKS, you'll see an option called Purchased. Click on that and you'll see all items that are tied to your iTunes Store account. You should see the U2 album there and you can download it from the cloud. You'll now have a copy stored on your Windows computer.

HT201272 Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section. Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? Please help!!

Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section. Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? It is the same on my iphone4 or ipad 2!! Please help!!

Dear Metal Wheels and King Penguin.
I have to actually same problem today 23.10.2012. For an example I have only changed billing methods and have bought hundreds of apps but I remember clearly that I bought for an example ,,Wikipanion Plus'' and ,,OPlayer'' which is now HD OPlayer and I did not see them in purchased items, neither ,,not on ipad/iphone'' nour ,,not on my computer'' and I check in both my computer. I confirm hereby that I took the chance to re-buy these two Apps again through the same account but I got the message ,,As you have bought the previous version on this account you will get this update for free'' so I clicked yes and I got them both. This doesnt only proof that I have purchased them before and purchased items in iTunes Store has some lacks to fix but also it proofs that I also bought them through that specific account as I had to confirm the buying process. In my opnion this is not a thing which Apple should be relaxed with as its very important that powerusers and regular consumers can trust and rely on doing business and to shop via iTunes. I have a lot of expensive Apple Hardware and for me this is a stepping stone and a serious test on the circle of trust. If this cant be fixed I cannot recommend others to trust the store.

Why my itunes can't link to the itunes store? my internet is functional.

why my itunes can't link to the itunes store? my internet is functional.

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:

Care to give a little more information? Like maybe exactly what you're trying to do when the problem happens, the exact error message that appears, how long its been happening for, what steps you've already tried, etc.
These types of details can really make a difference when asking others for good troubleshooting. Since you are on a Windows computer though, a good place to start is these articles:

My show logo shows up in the itunes store, but it does not show up after i download it on my itunes.
What should I do? All help is quite appreciated

I checked the top episode in your feed, and it does not have an image embedded in it as is necessary to have it display when subscribing. The method for doing this using iTunes is described here:

HT201272 I have purchased six seasons of Dexter and two seasons of Revenge. When I go into "Quick Links" through the iTunes Store and click on "Purchased", only two episodes of Revenge are shown. How can I get the rest of my episodes to show up??

Why aren't my previous purchases showing when I click "Quick Links", then "Purchased" in the iTunes Store??

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

Songs that I have purchased are missing in iTunes (file not found/exclmation point), and do not show up in the iTunes Store for download.

I have a laptop that has (or had) pretty much all of my music, both burned from CDs and downloaded from iTunes. My 17 year old son on occasion syncs his iPhone and iPad with this laptop. As of the last sync (as best I can determine), many songs that I purchased in the past few years are now missing, in that they have an exclamation point to the left of the song title, and when I try to play the song, I get an error message that says "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found" or something to that effect. As it turns out, the file seems to be erased. This has happened multiple times, and I could be wrong, but I believe that there are some songs that had the exclmation point last time he synced that now don't, and vice-versa. There is not an obvious correlation or grouping as to why these songs are missing (e.g,. they were not all purchased on the same date, not all songs from one artist are missing, etc.).
Since most of these songs have been purchased through iTunes through my account, my reaction was to go to the iTunes store, log in with my account, and re-download them. Problem is, all of these songs instead ask me to purchase the song, instead of displaying a "cloud" logo. Therefore, it appears that I have to re-purchase these songs, which does not sound correct.
Questions: Does anyone know, most importantly (to get an immediate fix):
1. How can I re-download these songs and why doesn't iTunes Store recognize that I have already purchased them?
and perhaps as important (more of a long-term question):
2. Why does this happen and how can I prevent this from happening again (since it has happened multiple times)?
Thanks.

HT201272 Some of my previous purchases aren't showing up on the iTunes store. It says "Purchased" but won't let me download them. Is there any way to fix this?

I've been making my iTunes music purchases on my iPhone for over a year now. I bought a new one so I relied on iCloud to keep my purchases on record. When downloading my songs, I saw that some of them were missing. When I logged into the iTunes store, it said that the albums (yes entire albums are missing) have been "PURCHASED", therefore I can't buy them again. And they don't have that iCloud icon on them to download them (since I have already purchased them). I checked my iTunes account on both my PC and my iPhone and still nothing. These aren't old purchases, but ones that I made a few months ago. Can anyone help me get my music back??

If they aren't showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes) for redownloading then have you checked to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

Last 5 Episodes are not showing up in the iTunes store

OK, our pocast has been going on for about a year with no problems, aftr Episode 32, the iTunes store quit updating the feed. The feed works directly, it's just a problem in the store. Can anyone give me a reason?
I know some of the listeners subscribed directly but we do have quite a few that go through iTunes store.
The feed validates as good and I have been through the code too many times now! Maybe some fresh eyes will help!
Feed URL: http://www.thehomebrewedshow.com/podcasts/rss.xml

I have looked closely at your feed and I can't see anything wrong with it (except the 'itunes:image' tags in each 'item' are irrelevant, but iTunes should ignore them - and in any case they are there on the earlier episodes so I don't see them as a problem).
Checking with FeedValidator, a couple of times I got a complaint that it was an html page, and showed the code for a redirect page: however most times I got the correct feed and it validated. Downloading from the link to your feed URL produced the correct feed, so I don't know what that is about.
I can only suggest that you try iTunes Support, though from others' experience I doubt you will get much more than standard responses.
You could try the 'Report a Concern' link on the Store page, or

My recent purchases show up in the iTunes store but not in my library and when I try to transfer it, it says "This Computer is already associated with an Apple ID"

I just got a new iPhone 4S to replace my old iPhone 4S. There were some songs I purchased on my iPhone that were not on my iTunes library on the Mac. Now I lost them. The thing is, if I open the iTunes store on my Mac and go to "Purchased", the songs I bought on my old iPhone show up. They are also in my library, but there is an exclamation point next to them and they will not download onto my new iPhone! Help!!!!

I'm having the exact same problem and I am the only person who has ever been logged on to this computer to use iTunes Match. Only my wife also uses this computer, and she has never used or signed up for Match.
Interestingly, I have the same number of days listed on my error, 82 days.
Obviously, Apple has screwed up somewhere. I've put a help request in. If we cannot find a solution, we'll have to let everybody know that Match is a ripoff and that all should avoid this fraud like the plague...
Shalom, y'all!

I'm a podcaster and my latest episode doesn't show up in the iTunes store

I have The ****** Off World of Uncle Hal Radio Show and I have had a great time with it. Every week I upload my show and then ping iTunes. My latest episode will show up in the store pretty quick. I have subscribed to my own podcast (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=173914731) and can download the latest episode but in the iTunes store my latest show (Episode 29) does not show up. My latest episode shows up on all directories on line and in my subscription in iTunes but not on the store! Anyone know what's going on? There should be 29 shows...not 28.
Thanks,
Hal

I'm having the same problem.
