My iTunes store will not connect on my computer

Ok, so I've tried just about everything that the apple website has to offer about connection issues, but to no avail. The problem is that I'm not getting an error message, its just simply not connecting. I get the loading bar at the top, but thats it. Anyone have a clue?
This is an example of the screen I've been getting, if that helps any. It just keeps acting like its loading.
After a while, it just stops trying to load and looks like this. So far I havent' seen anyone else having this problem. Also, before you ask, I've already checked my firewall settings to make sure that iTunes is allowed.

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:

ITunes store will not connect

Hi,
My iTunes store has been fine up until now with the web downloaded version. I recently bought an iPod Nano 2gb and I decided I would uninstall my current version of iTunes and install the version on the CD provided with my iPod. Since then my iTunes music store will not load.
Error Message: "iTunes could not connect with the music store. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again.
I'm a bit of a dunce with computers and errors! My network connection is fine...as I am on the internet, and msn messenger works etc etc. It says 'Local Area Connection Speed 100.0 Mbps Status: Connected'
I have tried re-installing and it doesn't work. I have tried to see if I can find other music download programs but none are compatible with iPod's as i'm sure you already know.
I recently got a new internet connection, but as I said my iTunes store was working fine after getting this connection until installing the CD version of the iTunes software.
Please can anyone help as I feel my iPod was a waste of money if I can not get my iTunes to work! I did everything that my instruction booklet told me i.e. installed the version on the CD before plugging my iPod in etc etc.

I haven't actually changed anything i.e. virus programs when I reinstalled the software so I don't know why it work one minute and then not the next.
BUT...I have Windows Firewall enabled (I disabled it once and tried again but it made no difference so I have enabled it again) I have checked my allowed sites and programs and iTunes is listed as allowed. I also hae Sophos anti-virus provided by my university but I have ALWAYS had this, its never caused a problem before.
I also just tried to 'update iTunes' and it said that the update server also could not be connected to 'Please try again later'.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Itunes store will not load to create a new account

There are four members of my family. Each family member has their own Windows user account, three with an itunes account. I have been trying to create an account for my youngest son for three hours. The itunes store will not load and gives a "not connected" message. The internet is working fine, and all three of the rest of us can access itunes and the store. I have turned off all parental controls that could have been messing istore up. How do I fix this?

Itunes Store will not load again.

Here we go again. Upgraded to iTunes 10.5, now iTunes Store will not load again in iTUnes. Tried the prior answer in Aug. 17, but does not work this time. Uninstalled iTunes and Apple App. Servce and Quicktime. Reinstalled iTunes from new download. Still not working. Using on XP sp3 machine. iTunes diagnostic says nothing wrong. It connects, but nothing shows in iTunes, just a blank screen. HELP....

That's exactly like saying, "Hey, try this. It didn't work either. Good luck!"
It's the high-percentage play with the particular symptom set being reported. High-percentage implies that it doesn't work for some people. (Otherwise it'd be a 100% play.) So, it still makes sense for people to try it, even if it doesn't work for some people, because it does work for most people. Check other posts by wiclee using that set of instructions to get a better feel for the reliability of the advice in these circumstances. (Granted, that's a bit tricky given that only about 10-20 percent of people report back to say whether or not any advice (on any given topic) actually works.)
