My iTunes won't connect once opened on my iPhone. Any suggestions?

For some reason when I open iTunes on my iPhone 4s, it opens but then nothing happens and I can't do anything in it. No searching works and no screens work (music/ movies/tv shows/ etc.) And, I tried to turn my phone off and nothing. I just updated to the latest iOS update and I seem to remember using iTunes before the update and it was fine. I wonder if it had something to do with the update... Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

HT1386 I have my music in the icloud, but i want to have them physically on my iphone as well. itunes won't seem to let me do this . any suggestions or remedies?

i have put my music on the icloud, and use i tunes match also. i want to be able to
physically have my music on my iphone as well, but syncing doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions?

I work around this by turning iTunes Match on on my computer, but keeping it off on my iOS devices. If you like this idea, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your iPhone and turn off iTunes Match. Then sync your device to your computer.
You may have to check iTunes settings on your computer to make sure it syncs music for you. I don't recall if that happens automatically - i don't think it does. When your iPhone is plugged in to your iTunes, open the Music tab under iPhone in iTunes on your computer and verify (or change) its sync settings.

I am having alot of problems with itunes, including a "connection timed out" error CONSTANTLY. Any suggestions?

My iTunes has always been a huge pain no matter what ive done. It runs slowly in general, freezes up every now and then, and when trying to restore my iPod touch 4g, i need to download a software update, which is impossible, due to the fact that every time i try i get a "Network connection timed out" message. I have also had the issue of my account locking me out twice now in a very short period of time, and i have no idea why. It says for security reasons, but ive changed passwords and everything.
I would like to know if an update is comming soon to make things smoother, because ive long since lost patience with iTunes.

If you are getting a network timeout error when downloading an iOS update then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
In terms of whether an update is coming, we are just fellow users on here so we won't know when the next update might be, and what might or might not be in it.

My ipod touch was submerged in water and now it is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes won't connect until i put the passcode in my ipod, and i can't do anything with my ipod until it connects. what should i do?

my ipod touch was submerged in water and now it is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes won't connect until i put in the passcode, and i can't do anything to my ipod until it connects to itunes. so, basically i can't do anything from the ipod or to it from the computor. what should i do?

Restore...
From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

Hi,
What security software is running on the PC? The security software could be causing the issue, try to reconfigure or temporarily disable it.
You can also try flushing the DNS as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1527

After installing Norton Antivirus to my PC, iTunes won't connect

A few months ago, after getting a nasty virus, I had Norton Antivirus installed on my PC. Since then, my iTunes won't connect to the store. This wasn't a huge deal until I got an iPhone, now it's a constant issue. Has anyone had a similar issue or know what in the world to turn off/on to make it work again?

What iPad117 is describing is recovery mode. this will need a restore in itunes to be able to use the device again, clearing all data. If you want to avoid this, try this first: Try a different usb port. A lot of ports are not compatable with some iPads. One in the back of the computer is usually best. Also try a different cable, and make sure itunes is up to date.

Try a search of the forums or the "More Like This" section to the right.
Also might have better luck posting to the Apple TV forum.

Itunes won't connect to the internet...HELP!

itunes won't connect to the internet everytime i try to accsess the itunes store it says there a connection error and that i need to check my connection. I know i am connected to the internet on SPRINT BROADBAND. What can i do?

I am having the same problem. Upgraded from 8.0.1 to 8.0.2 Everything worked fine before the upgrade. Since the upgrade I can connect to the internet but Itunes will not connect to the itunes store. Network is fine. There is no problem with my firewall. The problem is with upgrade to 8.0.2. I did a system restore to yesterday and itunes is back to 8.0.1 and is running fine. I tried the update again and back to the same old problem. Spent about 6 hours searching for the answer but I have found nothing. If I restore itunes back to 8.0.1 it works and connects to the itunes store. If I upgrade to 8.0.2 itunes will not connect to the itunes store.

HT4623 phone is locked with a passcode and I don't have the passode, it says connect to itunes, and itunes won't connect because it says to enter passcode on phone. The device also does not show in itunes so I can't restore

iphone 4s is disabled. It says connect to itunes. Itunes ays could not connect because phone is locked with a passcode and to enter passcode on iphone before it can be used with itunes, but I can't enter the passcode because 1) don't know it 2) it's disabled. The device also does not show up in itunes, so how can I restore the phone or unlock it?

Same answer as last time you asked the exact same question:

My itunes won't connect to the itunes server. Can someone help?

My itunes won't connect to the itunes server. Can someone help?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
When you repost, you'll need to include a lot more informaton about your system and the exact nature of the problem. As it is, there's nothing for anyone to base a diagnosis on.
Regards.

My iTunes won't connect to the iTunes store why?

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

Itunes won't connect to active WiFi

I've read all the forums and topics but still haven't found the answer to why iTunes won't connect to the WiFi at my home. I have no password on my WiFi. Other computers in the home use it just fine. Safari on iPhone works great. I reset the network on iPhone and chose the home network. There are plenty of bar showing it's active but I keep getting the same message in iTunes that it can't connect to iTunes because it needs a WiFi connection. What else can I possibly be missing. I've been using Mac since '84 so I'm quite experienced with all settings and what they do but this one has me stumped. What can you suggest. (new iPhone 3G)

You are not connected to your WiFi network as you do not see the WiFi symbol on the iPhone you can see the 3G symbol. The iTunes Store on the iPhone does not work via 3G it only works via WiFi.
Clearly you are not getting access to the internet via your WiFi.
You should turn on WiFi on the iPhone and then you will see the iPhone searching for wireless networks. Your WiFi should appear in the list and you should then select it by touching it in the list. It should then have a tick mark against it in the list. If it does then touch the blue circle next to the WiFi name which will show you the details of the WiFi you are connected to, if the screen does not contain IP addresses then you are not connected to the internet, even though you may have WiFi connection. Are you sure the WiFi you are connected to has working internet?

TS1363 I can't connect to the itunes store from my Windows Vista PC. I have run diagnostics and itunes have verified my internet connection as positive, but not the secure link to the itunes store. This comes up as failed. Any suggestions?

everytime I try to open the store it endlessly says "accessing iTunes store" but it never opens.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Windows 8 itunes won't let me add anything to iphone

windows 8 itunes won't let me add anything to iphone..apple community doesn't list the iphone as a product registered under my apple id, but the phone is listed on my authorized devices. any ideas? and do i need to get it to show as a registered product?

I have the same problem. I can't sync any apps or music on my iphone. I can't sync any music purchased through itunes on my ipod. I haven't even tried connecting my ipad for fear that it'll mess that up as well. I try to authorize my macbook but I get an error. The weird thing is that I am able to still play all of my purchased music through itunes so it seems that the authorization is at least somehow partially recognized.
