Music Store Half Working - Ideas Please

I can sorrta use the Music Store, but only half way.
If I click on Music Store on the left, it will eventually give me the 'home page' for the store.
Any time I try to Sign In or play a song that needs to be authorized, I get this error -
Couldn't Connect to the music store.
Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.
I'm not getting a bad password message, so I'm sure that my id and password are right.
Has anyone had any luck with adding -
phobos.apple.com
phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
to their hosts file, with the ips in front of course?
I've got an anti-virus, but I don't think thats the issue. I'm using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.2).
What else can I look at?

Its a problem on the WinXP machine I'm on.
It helps if you say that when you post, so we know what advice to give.
Anyway, are you running any sort of download accelerator on that system? Download accelerators cause all sort of problems with the iTMS. Another thing to check is any sort of privacy filter - Macafee Privacy Service, Norton, etc. Those, in addition to the built-in Windows firewall, can block access to the iTMS or cause it not to work correctly.
Hope this helps.

  • ITunes WiFi Music Store not working

    I got my iPod touch about a week ago, and I have been very pleased with it - apart from the iTunes WiFi Music Store. At the moment, I am travelling across the USA, where I picked up my iPod. During the time I have been travelling (about 2 weeks), I have managed to use all the features on the iPod successfully, except the iTunes music store. I have been connected to several different wireless networks, from which I could access all features (maps, YouTube, stocks etc.), with the exception of the iTunes WiFi music store. This isn't such a problem, as I don't use iTunes, but as I have paid for this feature, I would like to use it.
    Does anybody have any solutions to this, with the exception of restoring the iPod?

    I started using my iPod on my uncle's computer, as I am abroad at the moment, but I am going to sync it with my computer when I get home. I'm not really interested in purchasing songs from iTunes, I just wanted to have a look at the app - but I have to have a registered iTunes account on my computer for this to work? If it takes that much efforrt, I don't think it's worth it.
    Thanks for your help, everyone.

  • Updated to itunes 6.0.4.2., and music store is acting strange. please help!

    i just updated my itunes today, and now whenever i move the cursor over ANY clickable object, a translusent gray rectangle appears on top of it. i have SP2,and have tried changing mouse settings, rebooting the laptop, etc. nothing worked, and these gray rectangle make it very hard to read any text in the music store. please help!!

    Well I understand your pain, but microsoft and everyone is SLOWLY switching to 64bit. Id say by the time Vista comes out in January 07 apple will have some basic support for 64 bit built into its program. Im not that mac savy but I believe the mac already operates on a 64 bit apple OS and Vista will support 64 bit so apple will have to switch iTUnes to it sooner or later on the PC side most likly in iTunes 7.0 but we will wait and see til then

  • App Store And iTunes store Dont Work. PLEASE HELP!

    Hi.
    About 2 days ago, I updated My Early 2011 13 inch MacBook Pro 10.6.8 to OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. At First Everything was fine, Until I turned my mac on the next day. I tried to access the App Store To Dowload Euro Truck Simulator but it took a while to load until it said "App Store Could Not Verify Connection To App Store" I was very suprised, and went online to look for some solutions but found none about this topic. So then I went onto iTunes Store and it did not work either. It Said "iTunes Store Could Not Create A Secure Connection to iTunes Store. I Am Really Desperate To Find A Solution Because I need it for school. And i need the app store to get some features like Office 2010 and stuff like that. Please Someone Help Me And If You Could Put It In The Simpolist Form Possible I Would Be Greatful. Oh and i am 13 in grade 9 so try not to put any complex things in there, but i do have a pritty goog understanding of coding just to let you know.
    Cheers, Alex.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Itunes store wont work HELP PLEASE! HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 4 MONTHS!

    Make sure Norton has all the most recent updates. Then go into Norton, delete iTunes from the allowed programs, and save the Norton settings and close Norton.
    Then go back into Norton and add iTunes like it is a new program, and save the settings.
    This has worked for lots of folks.

  • ITunes Music Store Not Working for Windows XP? !!!!!The Final Solution!!!!!

    It IS a firewall problem. Most likely.
    A lot of people on these forums kept assuring us "it's your firewall settings" that's causing the problem, while others resentfully responded back with "but I turned mine off, that's not the problem"
    Well, yes, it most likely is the problem. I was in the same situation. iTMS wouldn't open for me and so i turned my firewall settings off on Norton, and it still wouldn't work. I didn't think I needed to bother with changing my firewall settings to add itunes since I wasn't even running it my firewall anymore.
    But out of desperation I decided to open Norton Internet Security, click on my firewall settings by pressing "configure" and then click "permit all" for iTunes.
    And it actually worked. For me. At least. But hey, I was cussing Apple for days until I tried this ...
    Dell Dimension 9100   Windows XP  

    I was getting the exact same thing with my 2nd generation Shuffle after I installed Itunes 8.1 to my computer. Couldnt load my Ipod at all.
    I was reading over in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1244785&tstart=0 and tried what the guy suggested. I created a playlist of the songs I wanted to load to my Ipod, then clicked on my Ipod. I set the Ipod to autofill from the playlist I set up, then hit the Autofill button. I unplugged my USB mouse, waited 2 seconds, then plugged my mouse back in. Miraculously the playlist began to get loaded onto my Ipod and I can use it again. Unfortunately I have to do this every time I want to add or remove something from the Ipod, but hopefully Apple will fix this sometime soon (hint, hint!).

    It's Emile's fault for abandoning his original posting where he had explained everything (and received ample input from others). His time is more important than yours, so start coughing up the answers, and make it snappy.

  • Error message: iTunes cannot connect to music store....

    I have been trying everything for the past day and a half and I still can't get my music store to work?? Everytime I open it I get an error message saying:
    Make sure your network connection is active and try again
    Can someone please help me?

    The same thing happened to me so I sent an email to apple. Honestly, I can't make any sense out of it but maybe you can. This is what they sent to me:
    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble connecting to the iTunes
    Store.
    I have verified that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting
    connections, which indicates that the issue is related to your internet
    connection, local network, or your local computer itself.
    iTunes has a great new feature called Network Diagnostics that can help
    you diagnose and resolve issues that prevent you from connecting to the
    iTunes Store.
    First, make sure you're using iTunes 7.0 or later, which is available
    free of charge at the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Now follow these steps to use Network Diagnostics:
    1) Make sure that you have an active Internet connection.
    2) Open iTunes.
    3) Choose Diagnostics from the Help Menu.
    4) Select Network Diagnostics and click Run.
    The Network Diagnostics interface will help you identify and resolve
    any network issues that are affecting your ability to connect to the
    iTunes Store.
    Please note that certain types of software can affect the way a
    computer sends and receives information from the Internet. Here are a few
    examples of these types of software:
    * Virus and/or worm protection software
    * Web accelerators
    * Ad filters
    * Firewalls
    If you have any of this software, and if you cannot access the iTunes
    Store, you will need to configure these applications to allow iTunes to
    connect to the internet.
    Please refer to the documentation that came with that software, and if
    necessary contact the software's manufacturer. You'll need to configure
    the software to allow these domains to send and receive data from the
    Internet:
    phobos.apple.com
    phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
    Apple Discussions are another source of information about iTunes, where
    everyone from new users to professionals can interact and share their
    knowledge and experiences. You may find another user with the same
    operating system or ISP that may be able to help resolve this issue. You can
    find the iTunes discussions group:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/itunes
    To use iTunes, your computer must meet the system requirements listed
    here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    The sales and service policies for the iTunes Store are available here:

    Thanks, but that didn't help me.

  • Failure to access music store via ovi player!!

    Has anyone any idea how i get this system back online. In the Ovi player I click the Ovi Music tab, but only get the following message now.
    We are very sorry but we cannot access the music store at this time
    Please check your internet connection or try again later.
    Worked fine up until the 23rd December.
    Thanks for all your support.

    I'm sorry but I get this almost every time myself and the whole service can't be trusted, I'd recommend just not using it whatsoever as it just can't cope with demand, as I was unable to download two albums I purchased either and this was because of the same error and neither the PC or mobile software seems to be able to cope with downloading from the service and I think the servers aren't able to cope.
