Music Store won't load, Anyone Else?

I can launch iTunes, import CDs, burn CDs, and basically use iTune for anything else but I can't access iTunes Music Store, My account, download podcasts. Obviously I can get on the web because I'm posting this. I can go to any other web page access my bank, credit accounts, etc. It's been this way for over 24 hours now and I'm getting a bit frustrated with Apple.
Just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this. I'm located in the Northeast but have never had this kind of trouble before.

you are not alone...well i am experiencing the same damned thing.
get error message -9807 ("itunes could not connect to the music store, an unexpected error has occurred. make sure your network connection is active and try again") which NONE of the apple documentation seems to have heard of, i am still waiting for them to get back to me. of course its active or else i would not be able to post this message o nthe forum!!! Doh!!!.
have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, deleted the plist and prefs files, restarted the mac (i run 10.4.5) and this has not made a blind bit of difference.
am going to go to the apple store in the west end before the end of the week and see if they can shed any light on this. i can get access to internet, personal baanking, etc, but teh itunes thing is perplexing me.
have been trying to figure it out for 2 days straight staying up til 4-5am not a thing i have tried has made a difference. even deleted my airport settings, and then got assistance in re-establishing them, still no joy.
only thing i can think of is that the ISP (onetel) has done something, or the update to 10.4.5 has done something to render no access to the store. i can play snippets of the tracks and play the tracks i have already downloaded but cannot log in and cannto download new tracks. cannot de-authorise my mac either. my tower pc (xp) and my laptop (xp) can access the store fine. i can log in very happily. prior to the 10.4.5 update all was working fine. i have even checked that the port 3689 that allows traffic to and from the store is enabled on the mac and it is through the mac's own firewall. everything else works...boooohooohoooo!!!
please apple, SORT IT OUT!!!!

  • Itunes music store won't load.says"connection has timed out" or somethin...

    help! i have never been able to access the music store.It says something like"Itunes could not connect to the music store.The network connection timed out.Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again" i dont know what to do!!!!!

    The short term fix is to just disable your firewall, the long term fix is to allow iTunes to connect thru the firewall here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93434

  • My iTunes Music Store Won't Work

    My iTunes music store won't work. Ever since I tried upgrading my iTunes, the music store cannot connect. I don't think it is the iTunes itself because I have talked to people and theirs is working fine. Mine worked until I tried to update it. I tried to re-upgrade it but it still won't work.

    It's working for me now. If it's working for you too then ignore the next step else go ahead and give it a try.
    I uninstalled quick time and then itunes.
    Restarted the machine and re-installed the latest update.
    This works! Good luck.

  • App Store won't load from dock

    Hi,
    I am 10.6.8 with all updates current and wish to download Lion.  The Icon for App Store won't load the app store and I've gone to iTunes trying to find the download site, no luck.
    I'm in the U.S. Virgin Islands and was searching to see if I'm red-lined due to location?
    Anyone have comments?
    Thanks

    I, too, have all updates and want to download Lion.
    Same as above with the App Store.
    Tried the iTunes route and still no luck.
    Looked at various forums, removed a few items from Library based on Apple Discussion recommendations.
    Still no luck.
    Working on iMac Intel Core 2 Duo
    Maybe it isn't a good time to upgrade, and I should wait until the next version.  The bug reports should be resolved sometime soon.
    This experience is moving me away from upgrading and it is annoying me because this has been a waste of no small amout of my time.

  • App store won't load On ipad2

    App store won't load properly on either mine or wife's ipad2. The featured window just keeps spinning with no image of apps. Ideas anyone?

    I had this issue as well.  Turns out I have two different apple IDs (I inadvertently added a new one because iCloud requires one with email address format and I picked a different email address than my original one was associated with).  By lchanging which AppleID I used for App Store (in settings), the App Store once again loaded fine.   Apple needs to provide a way for customers to merge AppleID accounts as this can be confusing.

  • The "More" tab on my itunes store won't load on my iPhone. I can't download my Purchased songs?

    The "More" tab on my itunes store won't load on my iPhone. I am on wifi and everything else is working fine. It has been happening a while now so I can't download my Purchased songs. Anybody else have this problem?

    In iTunes on your computer, go to Store > Authorize This Computer from iTunes' menu.  Have your dad (or you, if you know it) enter his Apple ID and password.  Then sync again.

  • Cant send SMS, app store won't load, + more problems.

    I just upgraded to the iphone 3G yesterday and I'm having NOTHING but problems. No texts I send will go through. The app store won't load. Can't get onto youtube.
    I've done a restore from itunes.
    I've walked through the steps on the support page.
    NOTHING. NADA.
    If I put in a sim card from another phone, I'm then able to send a text message so why not with the new sim card.
    I am beyond frustrated with this. An apple store is about 2+ hours away.
    Anything else I can do?

    Have you tried going to ATT and getting a new SIM?

  • App Store won't load when using our wifi

    App Store won't load when using wifi

    So I'm having this problem with my Ipod 5th gen. I tried absolutely everything but the router suggestions. Mainly because this problem isn't just at home, it's everywhere. I can connect to every free wifi or pass-worded wifi (with the correct password) just fine. But I can't access the internet or apps using the internet at all. Full signal like everyone else. Just no results. Took every tip in this forum and nothing has worked. Even tried deleting the apps that weren't working and re-installing just to make sure it wasn't just a crappy connections with the internet. NOTHING! Someone please help? I'm starting to think it might just be the antenna or the fact that it's about 2 years old and kind of abused. It's been working up until I recovered it after 2 1/2 months of being last in the mix of pants that were packed away. Didn't get washed or anything just had the battery die while it was sitting there. Found it yesterday and starting today I can't access Safari, Youtube, the App Store, or anything else that requires an internet connection. What should I do? Should I take it in to the Apple Store and get it checked out? Or is there something I can do by myself?

  • Help! I have been using Mountain Lion but Finder and the App Store won't load and keeps crashing even after reinstalling the OS. How do to fix it?

    Help please! I have been using Mountain Lion for a few weeks but Finder, System Prefferences and the App Store won't load and/or keep crashing even after reinstalling the OS. How do to fix it?

    You need to check to make sure you are actually connected to the network.  Tap Settings > WiFi >and then tap the blue ">" next to the network name with checkmark.  You should see a complete set of IP address but if the router didn't issue you an IP address properly, you will see your touch IP address start with 169.x.  If this is the case, you are connected to the internal network but not to the web.
    First thing to do (while you are on that screen) is tap "Forget Network".  Then turn WiFi off.  Turn it back on and, if needed, tap Other and re-enter your network information.  If you continue to have problems, check with your IT department on Monday.
    In the meantime, your laptop and iTunes can be used to purchase apps and music.  Syncing them with your touch is a great way to get them installed while you are waiting for the answer on your WiFi problem.

  • ITUNES music store won't open

    After doing a clean install on my mac mini, the only problem is with ITunes.  The music store won't open, states to make sure my internet connection is open and active, which it is.

    The iTunes store seems to be stuggling a bit today under the weight of demand. Uninstalling itunes and installing won't help. Use patience, try later...
    Why would you delete your songs?

  • ITunes Music Store will not load

    I had this problem before I installed 6.0.3.5 and still having this problem. I heard of some malware being passed around in chat rooms that affected Apple computers I'm wondering if this has something to do with it. I can open iTunes but just cannot access the store... Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Have you all seen the number of instances of this? Upgrade to latest iTunes and then not be able to start it?
    don't be silly, jb11. read the thread again. ranpat86 can launch his itunes.
    Upgrade to latest iTunes and then not be able to start it? I have XP & Norton.
    is that Norton Internet Security 2005?
    are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
    if the answer to both questions is "yes", try giving the trusty Lorraine M technique a whirl:
    Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
    if at least one of the answers is "no" start your own thread (use the "Post New Topic" link at the top of the Topics list), and explicitly describe your symptoms. err on the side of too much detail rather than too little.

  • Installed iTunes 10.5, iTunes store won't load now?

    Yesterday I installed the newest itunes update and now my store won't load. Is there anything I can do for it? I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and it still doesnt load.

    Completely uninstalling my internet filter (CloudCare/BSecure) worked for me.  Not just disabling it or allowing iTunes; had to completely uninstall it.  Not happy, but iTunes works.

    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • Itunes Store won't load.......!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

    Itunes Store won't load!!! I've been trying to access Itunes for like the past, I don't know, two weeks maybe, and every time I go to it, it doesn't cooperate. It usually won't load at all, but in the off chance it does, this really weird basic screen shows up. There are no pictures, or icons like in the normal Itunes, just a bunch of boxes and links that you click on. And, the kicker is the fact that even when I click on it, nothing happens. I've tried reloading the page, disconnecting and reconnecting my Internet connection, even going as far as to run diagnostics, and reinstalling the newest software 3 times!! Nothing is working!! Please help, I would be very grateful!!!!!!!

    I have the same problem.  I have 64-bit Windows 7, all updates installed, anti-virus uninstalled, and have a specific firewall exception made just for iTunes, however the iTunes Store still refuses to load.  After waiting a (very long) period of time I get the following screen:
    Sometimes I won't get this screen at all, and iTunes will finish loading with a blank screen.  All of my other computers can load iTunes perfectly fine.  This error occurred directly following the iOS 5 update for my iPhone.  Seeing as that the only computer affected was the one updating my iPhone, I figure there's some connection between the two.  I have
    cleared catche, cookies, everything
    uninstalled and reinstalled all Apple software and components (and end processes)
    completely deleted my iTunes library
    tried creating a new account, but can't even do that becuase I can't connect to the store
    tired de-authorizing and re-authroized the account
    signing-out and signing back in
    disabled parental controls
    made sure I WASN'T behind a proxy server
    I
    Apple Support tried to help with my request but for some reason refused to listen to the notion that this problem occured because of an iOS5 update (and iTunes 10.5).  The only thing I haven't done is wipe my harddrive, which seems to be the only option now. 
    Somebody please help.
