"One Moment Please... Connecting to iTunes Store... Loading"

Hi,
Just purchased an 11" Air and the App Store just doesn't work on it. Keep on showing the following message, "One Moment Please... Connecting to iTunes Store... Loading". When I click on "Purchases", I get the following mesage, "We could not complete your App Store request" The App Store is temporarily unavailable". But I know the App Store is NOT unavailable cos I have it running fine on my MBP.
Any ideas?
Crazy

Hi,
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Try again.
If you still can't access the MAS, click here.

Also, make sure your computer's time and date are correct. Open System Preferences / Date & Time. Select the Date & Time tab then make sure the button next to: *Set date and time automatically* is selected. Click the Time Zone tab. Make sure you have the correct time zone selected.
And... because the Mac App Store is so busy, when you can't access it, wait an hour, try again.
Just found this on the MAS help viewer.
*Although anybody who logs in to your Mac can browse available applications, only an administrator can purchase, download, and install applications.* Make sure you are trying to login to the store with your admin account.
To view the source for that information, with the MAS open, click Help from the Menu bar top of your screen.

  • One moment please, connecting to iTunes...

    Hi there.
    I'm having this problem with iTunes about a couple of days ago.
    "one moment please, connecting to iTunes. Loading..."... still waiting
    I have tried almost everything, I even downloaded and install iTunes again and nothing.
    There are some tips on how to fix it but most of them are for PC user and not for Mac.
    If any one can help I will really appreciate.
    Thanks.

    I too am having this trouble, very frustrating, I have uninstalled & reinstaled iTunes, i have uninstalled Norton, still didn't work... Tried numerous fixes recommended online to no avail. It was working earlier yesterday.

  • Solution to the "One Moment Please connecting to the iTunes store" Problem

    Thought I would post this as a new topic because I see many people had the same problem as I do (did).
    I kept getting the "One Momement Please connecting to the iTunes store" problem and could not figure out what was going on. I basically turned off everything I could think of "firewall, antivirus, antispyware, you name it and it still was not working.
    Then I found in a thread the suggestion to delete my iTune preferences file. I did it and voila... all was fine.
    So... here are the instructions. Do this first before you try anything else. It may save you A LOT OF TIME.
    For VISTA the pref file is found at: C:\Users\+user name+\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes. Delete the file named "iTunesPrefs.xml", restart i-Tunes and it will reset all of you preferences. You will need to enable "show hidden folders" in Folder Options in the control panel as "AppData" will be hidden otherwise.
    Hope this helps. I wished I'd seen it earlier.

    Unfortunately deleting the iTunesPrefs.xml didn't work for me and others.
    Try this. Click on Edit..Preferences...Parental Control and place a check mark in the box to the left of iTunes Store, also place a check mark in the box to the left of Allow access to iTunes U as well and then click OK.
    Now go to the store. Finally, return to Parental Control and remove the check mark beside iTunes Store.
    Hopefully you will now be able to access the iTunes Store without the dreaded One Moment please message.

  • When I open mac app store it stands: One moment please, connecting to the iTunes store.

    And it's forever like this. Can't get into the app store! I have had this problem for 6 months now. Some help ?!?

    Finally I found the answer on the internet. I needed to open Terminal and write three lines of code.
    Code:
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/*
    Now I can get Mac OS X Lion.

  • "One Moment Please...." iTunes not connecting to Store

    i am getting the following message when I try to open the store:
    "one moment please, connecting to the itune store.... loading"
    and nothing happens. the weird thing is, i get this message every time i open itunes...

    I tried the Edit>Preferences thing, and when I clicked on iTunes store link, I got a message saying the iTunes store is not currently available. I haven't been able to get into the iTunes store for over a week (it won't load). I didn't install anything new or change any settings prior to that.
    My sister started having the same problem on the same day. She lives elsewhere and has her own computer.

  • Can't access iTunes Store. 'One Moment Please' message.  Please help!

    I downloaded the latest version (9.0.3) of iTunes at the start of this week when I bought my iPhone. Everything worked fine & I could access the iTunes store & purchased music. I had purchased music on my iPod which I transferred to my iTunes library & everything was still working fine.
    Then a couple of days later I created a ringtone from a purchased song. I synced my iPhone & the ringtone works absolutely fine, however, I can no longer access the iTunes Store. The following message is displayed:
    "One Moment Please, Connecting to the iTunes Store, Loading... If iTunes doesn't open , click the application in your Dock or Windows Task Bar."
    I have also tried to sign in to my account however I am unable to & receive the following message:
    “We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50). There was an error with the iTunes Store. Please try again later.”
    I use a wireless connection at home & iTunes is working absolutely fine on my other computer.
    The Radio works fine, I am definitely connected to the Internet as I am accessing other sites at the same time as trying to open the store.
    I have not switched to a new ISP & absolutely none of my Internet/firewall/security settings have changed in any way.
    I have tried all of the following but none have fixed the problem:
    I have configured Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store.
    I have run Diagnostics which indicates that there is absolutely nothing wrong.
    I have removed & re-installed iTunes on my laptop.
    I have temporarily disabled my security software and firewalls.
    I have using the MSCONFIG utility on my laptop to try & identify if a software program is preventing me from accessing the store but I still cannot access the store.
    I am at a loss, I have no idea what to do next…please help, thanks!

    Hi I just went through several days of the same problem, I was told to uninstall all of the Apple related software and reinstall in the order on this link
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US
    than follow these steps
    iTunes Store, iTunes, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and Vista
    Remove pop-up blockers
    Some pop-up or ad-blocking programs may interfere with the ability of iTunes to connect to the iTunes Store. Removing them in many cases will resolve the issue.
    Flush DNS Setting in Windows
    In some cases, the DNS information you computer uses to connect to the Internet needs to be reset. Follow these instructions to flush your Windows DNS information:
    Windows XP
    1.On the Start menu, click Run.
    2.In the Open field type cmd and click OK.
    3.In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return on the keyboard.
    4.You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7
    1.On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
    2.In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return on the keyboard.
    3.You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Note: If, in the command prompt, you see this message: "The requested operation requires elevation", close the command prompt and repeat steps 1 and 2 above to be sure that Administrator privileges are used to access to Command Prompt.
    For additional troubleshooting information about connecting to the iTunes Store, see Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    after all this I had to go to control panel and create a new user with administrator controls, log off and on to the new users account. In the new account itunes store finally works, I'm not sure if all of the steps I was first instructed to take were needed, but I was happy to be able to finally access the itune store again. I hope this helps someone else.
    Good Luck

    Your profile indicates your Mac is running v10.7.2
    If that is correct, updating your system software may help.
    Click Software Update from the Apple menu.
    Restart your Mac after updates are installed then try the App Store.
    If you can't update that way, there's a workaround.
    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
    Then restart your Mac and try the App Store.

    Every time I try to get on itunes store on my ipod it tells me that it "cannot connect to itunes store", I've tried everything even restored the ipod to factory settings and nothing, can some one please give a solution that will work?

    Hi datnativeBUNNZ,
    If your iPod can't connect to the iTunes store, check out this article for some additional troubleshooting steps:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
    Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to 3G, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts. 
    Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet. 
    Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
    If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections or iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Take care!

  • Please, help me with the ''Cannot connect to iTunes store'' problem

    The same common problem can't be fixed .. I tried every possible solution, none of them worked.I tried changing date and time, reset network settings.None of them worked with me
    Please help me to solve this problem

    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.

  • Cleartune has updates available, but I keep getting a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store"  all other updates work just fine?  The one app I paid for is the one that for some reason will not work.  How can I upgrade without buying it again?

    I loaded cleartune a while back, there are upgrades/updates available, which I'm trying to load.  When I choose update, it asks for my password, which I provide and I get a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store"  I have many other apps I've loaded and upgraded just fine.  However this one, the one I actually wanted bad enough to pay for, is wanting me to delete it and buy another copy.  How can I update Cleartune without buying it again? 

    Hi all,
    This is a very interesting situation. I did try to update one of my apps within itunes as was suggested. That worked !!
    But then I noticed that I had 2 different logins that I must have created over the years. I almost forgot. I have a apple ID and an AOL ID. It seems that I purchased (actually they are all free) some apps with one ID and other apps with the other ID. I must have done this by accident.
    So when I log out of one of the IDs on my Touch and then log in with the other ID, I can update the apps.
    It seems that something changed on Apple's servers. It seems that until recently I was able to update free apps regardless of what ID I originally bought them with. Now it seems that's not the case. Apple must check this now.
    Now that I know what the issue is, I'll make sure I use one ID all the time.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    When I try to download my updates it keeps saying cannot connect to iTunes store please help I'm going mad!

    a lot of people have posted about this and i have seen one weird thing fix this. people said they where going into date and time under settings and changing  the date to some time in the future and then going to the itunes store and it would give them an error that there date and time was wrong. then all you need to do is go back and set the date and time right and go back to the itunes store and try again.
    Im not sure why this did the trick but a bunch of people said that this helped them out..... Weird i know
