Itunes wont connect to itunes store-times out

I can use my itunes to listen to music just fine, it just wont let me access itunes store. The message I get is: itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connects are active then try again... I have no idea why it quit working but it did! please help me!!!

There are three possible reasons that you would get a
connection timeout trying to connect:
1. The iTunes Store is really, really busy right
then. Try again later. If this happens all the time
(even times that should be calm, like late at night),
then this probably isn't the case.
2. There's software on your computer that is
interrupting iTunes' ability to connect to the iTunes
Store. You can check for software conflicts by
following the steps in this
article.
3. There's something up with your ISP that is
preventing you from connecting to the iTunes Store.
The best way to check for this is to try to connect
using a different internet connection. (Like, if you
have a laptop, using a public wireless access point.)
So the first two options didnt resolve it, what do you mean try opening with another? I have a laptop-so what should i do now?

Katrina, yes those are the instructions I used. I just executed the steps outlined three additional times (meticulously) and the issue I have is, at step 14, after restart, I do not receive the "Windows has blocked startup programs" message... System starts "normally", when I attempt to run iTunes I am informed that iTunes needs to repair software required to communicate with iPods and iPhones... Whether I choose to allow iTunes to restore these services or not, the outcome remains the same, "connection timed out" at iTunes store. Cannot download podcasts, cannot access internet through Quicktime either... Other than that Firefox works just fine.

Itunes store times out while trying to sign in

I just downloaded itunes to this computer. I went and tried to sign in with itunes store and it gave a message saying that the connection had timed out. It said to check my network connectivity and retry. I have done all I can think of need some help please.

Have you allowed itunes in your security software firewall?

ITune Store times out

I have three computers in the house, and all currently time out on connecting to the iTunes store (for the last 30 mins or so).
I have downloaded some songs earlier this afternoon, but now cannot connect.
I have reset the router and flushed the DNS but still no computer can connect?
Any ideas
All computers running XP MCE or XP Home, with all updates installed and with latest iTunes.

Down again tonight. And, can anyone lead me on what to search for the old thread? I have done so, but unsuccesfully.
Could anyone write a simple program that one of us can use to see what times Tiscali drop the connection? It could be between certain times, and get a few of us running it?
Could it be something to do with the Tiscali FUP? I shall try and search for this A.S.A.P. I shall also be loking around ISPs soon. However, is this only a problem with Tiscali/Pipex/123-reg (owned by Pipex). Can anyone with OrangeBt Broadband/be*/etc. confirm about iTunes sore access?
Is this something I need to take up with Apple, or will I need to talk to someone at Tiscali (joy ;-)). Anyone got any tips on what to say, how to word when I ring up? Obviously Tiscali can just say that this is Apple's problem (which I am sure it isn't, as millions of iTunes users would have complained by now). Any idea for proof?

Network connection to iTunes Store

When I attempt to access the iTunes Store, I get an error message that my network connection will not allow access. I am a single computer on a single circuit with no restrictions on what will be accepted by the computer. Suggestions?

Without knowing what you've tried, I suggest starting with this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300870

Whenever I try to download an Album it tries to download but then it just stops and says Network Connection to iTunes has timed out.

I'm trying to purchase the new Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire album which has about 100 songs on it and when I hit buy album it starts to purchase it then it stops and cancels the purchase. However, I have been able to purchase individual songs from the same album but I still can't buy the album itself. The computer says that the Network Connection timed out. On my Phone it says that my account is unavailable. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Please double check the Visa information and then try a different credit card if it's available.

New iPad Air can't connect to iTunes; device "times out"; no error code given

my iMac (8 months old) is running 10.8.5 with latest version of iTunes. When I try to connect my new iPaid Air with a cable, iTunes open, after a few seconds, a windows appears saying "iTunes cannot connect to the device named Peggy's iPad because device timed out". no error code is given. I have restarted my computer and the iPad various times and tried different USB ports on the iMac. I am using the original lightning cable that came with the iPad to connect. I didn't have this problem with my old iPad 2 or with my iPod touch. I do not have any security software installed and no firewalls, etc. Any suggestions on what is causing this problem? Thanks.

You should repost this over in the "using iPad" forum. The iPad gurus hang out there. This is the MacBook Air forum. Here is the link:

Cannnot connect to iTunes store - just started happening

Had the phone over two years and this has never happened before. Tried to download updates for purchased apps and got the message "Cannot make network connection to iTunes Store - connection timed out". Tried both fromn the phone itself (WiFi) and from the iTunes app on the Win7 laptop (WifFi). Never a problem before.

I'm having the same issue. I'm unable to download apps on my iPhone, iPad, or iTunes, none seem to be able to connect to the store for the purpose of purchasing or downloading apps.

Network connection time out when connecting to Itunes store

When I try to connect to Itunes store i get this message:
"Itunes could not connect to iTuens sore network connection has times out Make sure your network connection is active and your network setting are correct"
Can some one walk me through or link me to a site or discussion so i can get this fixed

I had the same problem several days with the AppStore. Software-downloads did not proceed, i tryed everything, shut down firewalls, change the host-file, disable proxy-server - no success.
I have Kaspersky-Suite as firewall and anti-virus-software.
Accidentially I find a solution:
- select in iTunes at downloads "Proceed" of a download-entry . iTunes then connect with the server, so it is enough time to:
- right-click on the windows-tray-symbol of Kaspersky and select "stop service" (something like that, i work with the german version).
Now, surprise, the download proceed and starts working again. In case the download is freezing again:
- Reactivea Kaspersky-service with right-click as described above, then deactive the serve again as i described.
Seems this "Workaround" opens a door to an network-connection Kaspersky usually block by itself.
Shutdown the firewall and finishing the Firewall-Software is a good idea, but you never know, which process is running in the background despite you shutdown everything possible...
Hope the "solution" is working for you!

Itunes could not connect to iTunes Store-Network timed out. Upgraded to 7.6

I upgraded this morning and was able to buy tracks. Now I get "Itunes could not connect to iTunes Store.The Network connection timed out. Running Nework Connectivity Test shows everything ok. Apple Sw Update application shows the same behavior. All of my other applications and programs run normally. I can surf web ok.
Can someone help me?

Search the forums. This is an old problem. For almost everyone it's a Norton issue. I had to upgrade from Norton 360 V1 to V2 to solve the problem. With otehr versions of Norton people have been able to create an entry in the firewall's allowed sites and that fixed it. If nothing else call Norton. They should have had enough calls by now they'll be able to tell you how to fix it for your version of Norton.

HT1768 itunes could not connect to itunes store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.

I keep getting this error message when I try to log into Itunes, has anyone else seen this error? If so how did you fix it?

Have you disabled any firewall and security/antivirus programs? This seems to have helped the vast majority of people who have posted the same problem in this forum.

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

"Could not connect to iTunes store. Your network connection has timed out"

OK. So my internet is fine as you can tell yet i keep getting the message "iTunes could not connect to iTunes store. Your network connection has timed out".I have tried restarting and the parental control thing as well as the "proxy server" thing, and nothing has worked. I would be very grateful if someone could help me

I've had the same problem for the last two weeks. Finally resolved the issue in Windows 7.
Go to start button, control panel, system & security, windows firewall. On the left side of the box click on "advanced settings." On the left side of the box again click on "Inbound Rules." You should be able to see iTunes under the name category. Make sure it has a green check mark next to it. If it does not, then double click on the name. In the "general" box which comes up open, click "Allow the Connection." That worked for me. Somehow itunes was blocked but now I can access the itunes store again.
