"Network connection is timed out" when trying to access itunes store

I've re-installed itunes & upgraded Firefox but still cannot access itunes CD database or the store. Therefore no track info or album artwork can be retrieved and no podcasts can be subscribed to.
Message reads "Network connection is timed out..make sure your network connections are correct"
I have full access to all other web sites.
Help please

I am getting an error message that my network connection has timed out. while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone found a solution? I was given some advice about turning off my firewall and/or virus protection but am nervous about doing that.

I get a message that my network connection has timed out while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone else had that problem and if so what solutions have you found? I was told to turn off my firewall and/or virus protection while updating but am nervous about doing that for obvious reasons. I'm also disgusted with Apple not providing free tech support.

See this article about the ports that have to be open during the update process. iTunes has to contact Apple during the download. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

Error -1020 When Trying to Access iTunes Store - Help!

I keep getting Error -1020 when trying to access the iTunes store. Just started happening this morning.
Nothing online from customer support listed for this error.
Thanks!

Looks like it's busted. Same problem here. The way all the support mechanisms work, you can't even report the problem, since you can't really log in to the store.

Error message "499" when trying to access iTunes store

Error code 0x80092013 when trying to access iTunes store

I currently have the lastest version of iTunes unstalled on a Windows Vista PC. For a few months now, I get the error code 0x80092013 when trying to connect to the iTunes store or log in to my iTunes account. I have tried to run diagnostics but there is no help availavle because iTunes will not connect to the internet to get the help I need.
I have scoured the interent for a solution to this problem and have tried everything I have come accross, from re-installing to reading every support page I can find. I am becoming so frustrated trying to fix this problem, it is not my apple ID as my iPad works perfectly fine. If anyone can give me a solution that actually works it would be greatley appreciated

After some research I found the following tip to be working:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/25038447#25038447
So I changed my IPv4 as well as IPv6 DNS-Servers under Windows Network Preferences and everything worked again.

ITunes crashes when trying to access iTunes Store

iTunes "crashes" when I try to access the iTunes Music store - I get all the current albums on the lower half of the page, but as the main part tries to load (lady gaga or whoever) iTunes "crashes" - I get the "ignore, report or relaunch" box. iTunes works fine otherwise.
Here's what I'm using - Quicksilver PPC G4 @ 1.47GHz w/ 1GB RAM - OS X 10.5.8, iTunes 10.2.2, Quick Time 7.6.9, Safari 5.0.5. No Keychain problems - at least First Aid reports no problems, repaired permissions and rebooted. As far as I can tell, this issue started after the most recent iTunes update (which is why I hate so much to do so). Anyway, I'm buying all my music at Amazon at the moment, so if Apple wants me back in THEIR store I kinda need a fix for this.
Thanks in advance to all for your help -
Robert
P. S. - is it just me, or is this new "discussions" format really a step backwards?

Well, as far as I can see, no one has responded to this question. Nor do I see any solutions mentioned in other questions by folks having the same problem. So I can only assume that there IS no fix.
Oh well, I know that one user is just "small potatoes" as far as the iTunes Store is concerned, but they've just lost this frequent little revenue stream - their loss, Amazon's gain.
Good-bye iTunes store - it was fun while it lasted...

Why do I get "Secure Link to iTunes store Failed" message when trying to access iTunes store?

Why do I get the message "Secure Link to iTunes store failed" when I do diagnostics checks on the iTunes version 10.6 that I just installed? I have reinstalled it three times and have never been able to access the itunes store, or any Help sites thru the itunes app. I have disabled my firewall, etc. to no avail. Any ideas? I have XP running.

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:

HT1688 my iphone keeps timing out when trying to access the app store

All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
You should delete them and re-download them with your new Apple ID.

Error Code -9808 when trying to access ITunes Store

Downloaded ITunes 8.1.1 and am getting error message -9808 whenever I try to connect to the Tunes Store.

Error 9808 is usually solved by:
Check your internet settings.
Control Panel – Internet Options – Advanced
Uncheck “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)”
Click okay
After unchecking the option, do you get another error message? It could be your firewall blocking access. Have you allowed itunes and itunes helper in your security software firewall?
