Problem with opening ITunes Store

I was recently was prompted to install the latest version of ITunes 7.2 So I did. BIG MISTAKE!!!
After what I thought was a successful installation, now I am unable to open the ITunes Store. I can get into ITunes; just not the store! I keep getting an error message that my connection isn't working. I can still get my music. Everything else works fine. I recently purchased an ITunes gift card with the intention of downloading new music from the ITunes Store. But now I can't. Reading several of these posts, I see I'm not the only one with problems with the newest ITunes version.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I certainly do not want to uninstall and reinstall as I have over $500 dollars tied up with ITunes purchases! I haven't yet seen any response from Apple regarding the newest version problems.

Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar? There have been reports that Norton and similar firewall products treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and so you have to go in and reallow connections for iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
Check the settings for your Internet privacy utility and if necessary remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes (consult your privacy filter's documentation for the appropriate procedure). You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
Hope this helps.

    ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

    Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country.  Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are. 
    Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

    Problem with my iTunes store, cannot search, stays in one application that I already purchased. Please help!

    Go to Settings, Store, Apple ID, Sign out and then sign back in again and have another go.
    Also, try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • Any idea to fix the iTunes 12.0.1.26 connectivity problem with the iTunes Store?

    My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium. Although the application works fine such as playing music, downloading app updates and music. However, when I attempted to make the connection between iTunes Store and the current version of iTunes, the iTunes window began to froze, then the error message showed that there was a problem with the application that causes it to shut down. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    Hey *9,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes unexpectedly quit. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Problem with the iTunes store on my ipad 2.

    I have notice here in the last month that I can only download certain thing on my iPad 2. I have gone thru everything and even reset my iPad and the iTunes store is still showing that I can only download certain stuff and that go to books too. I have updated the software and everything and which my husband iphone app store can let him download everything including the free and/or the not free apps. Need to know what I should do cause i'm all out of options and i'm about to say the **** with it and go by me a tablet to use instead...

    One likely cause is restrictions.  Is your iPad restricted (Settings > General > Restrictions)?

  • Problems with different iTunes Store

    I'm now living in Hong Kong but I will be moving to the UK in a month. I have been using the Hong Kong store for about three years now and have bought quite a lot of songs and movies and apps. However, the Hong Kong store have less songs and movies then other stores like US or UK store. How can I use the same Apple account to access the UK store or do I have to start a new Apple ID?

    If you're on an iOS device, click here and follow the instructions to change the iTunes Store country.
    If you're on a computer, scroll to the bottom right corner of the iTunes application window, click on the button with the flag, and pick a country.

  • Problems with opening itunes

    We have been using itunes for about 6 months, but have not used it in about 6 weeks as we have been on vacation. Now we are having problems getting it to open.
    I get the following message. "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
    Well, I got out the original CD and reinstalled iTunes. Then got the same message.
    So, I got out the original CD and reinstalled iTunes again. I still got the same message.
    I went online and downloaded the updater, you guessed it, still the same message.
    Anyone else have the same or similar problem?
    How can I solve this?
    Thanks

    OK just forget about the CD as the software on it is outdated anyways. Goto control panel>add and remove and uninstal BOTH iTUnes and quicktime.
    Disable antivirus and security programs, then goto apple.com to install the latest verion of iTunes, and if you have an ipod, the latest ipod updater version 06-28-2006 here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    If after this it still will not open try the stand alone version of quicktime here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html

  • Issues With opening ITunes...

    So I had a problem with opening ITunes before, so I uninstalled and then reinstalled like everyone says to do. Now, however, when I try to open it, it says "ITunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". And it does this EVERY time. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling since, but it just does the same thing. Anyone know what to do?? Thanks!

    Unless you do the additional cleanup steps a uninstall and reinstall may not work. At least thats been my experience. I posted detailed cleanup reinstall steps on this thread. The steps are a tad more detailed that whats posted on apple. Try those and let me know if you still have trouble.

    Logout of the app store and iTunes store: Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Go back to home screen and  reset the phone by pressing the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears then release them.
    Once phone has finished rebooting go back to  Settings>iTunes & App Store and login with your Apple ID and password again. Then open the iTunes Store app again.
