Problems signing in to Itunes - internet connection

Hi,
For the past couple of days I have been unable to sign in to itunes. Whenever I enter my apple ID and password it says "accessing itunes" however after upto a minute a window pops up saying "the network connection timed out... make sure your network connection is active"
However, i'm connected to the internet, can access the internet and the itunes store. The itunes store is also in general, working (i.e. I can browse the store and listen to the songs).
I was wondering if there was just a problem with the itunes store and other people are having similar difficulties or if its just me!
please help!

Hi, glad to hear it's not just me then! I've not been able to log on to my account since last weekend - I replaced my Apple TV mk1 and added an Apple TV2, maybe the two are connected although I've tried most things I can think of. re-install iTunes, fix permissions, changed router, etc although I'm still using a BT HomeHub2 as my modem as the Apple wireless doesn't have one. I suspect it might have something to do with BT. Like you the rest of my internet is working fine, interestingly, I can connect direct to the iTunes store via my 3G iPad no problem, so it must be something to do with my home set up. I'll keep trying and let you know if I solve the problem. Any good ideas from anyone else very welcome!!

  • Im having problems signing into my itunes account and i now the password is correct so it is not letting me homeshare?

    Im having problems signing into my itunes account on my apple tv so it is not letting me homeshare with my laptop, others are claiming to have the same problem. What is going on?

    If you are absolutely positively sure that the password you are typing in is your Apple ID password, I would try once more to enter the password. Be real careful as you type and make sure that Autocorrect is not changing what you are typing.
    If no luck try to proceed without entering the password. If you can get the iPad functional go into
    Settings > ITunes and App Store and log in there.
    If you can log into to your Apple ID there you will also need to go to
    Settings > Messages > Send and Receive and enter or check the email at which you want to receive messages,
    Also
    Settings > FaceTime > check or enter the email address you want to be reached by FaceTime.

  • Cannot sign in due to internet connection problems - why?

    I am trying to open my photoshop elements program which I have done several times since purchasing.  Now it is requiring that I sign in.  When I click sign in, it can't connect to the internet even though I am on the internet and so it won't sign me in or let me go around and use the program without singing in.  Help!

    Try these suggestions.
    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Strange itunes internet connection problem

    Hey all,
    i've been experiencing a strange iTunes problem this summer and was hoping I could get some help. If it helps, im on windows XP (sp2) with the newest version of iTunes.
    Here's my problem:
    When I insert a CD to import into my library, iTunes fails to retrieve any track info from the internet. This is despite having my preferences set to Automatically retrieve CD track names from the internet. I don't get an error message or anything, just a failure to get any names. However, I can click Advanced -> Get CD Track Names and it will retrieve the names like nothing was wrong in the first place...strange. But there's more:
    I can no longer see any Radio stations or categories when I click the Radio tab, just an empty window pane appears with no accompanying error message. To confuse me further, I can get on the iTunes Music store with no problem whatsoever. I haven't tried downloading a song yet, but I can at least stream samples...
    so then I go Help -> run Diagnostics -> Network Connection, and I get a FAILED red light for "Internet Connection Status"
    what is the DEAL?!

    When you run network diagnostics and anything fails, there is a help button that should come up to help troubleshoot what might be blocking itunes.
    Try turning off any internet security, firewall or anti-malware that you might have running on the computer. If this works, then check the website for the programs you turned off and see if there are any updates.
    Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

  • ITunes Internet Connection Problems

    For a couple of days now, my iTunes hasn't been able to connect to the internet, even though my internet is running perfectly.  I tried troubleshooting it and nothing worked (I tried literally everything).  Not only will iTunes not work, but neither will Google Chrome.  My internet runs perfectly on Internet Explorer, but never on external programs such as iTunes or Chrome.  This has been happening since the final day of iTunes 10.7.  I need some advice as to what to do in this situation ASAP.

    I already turned everything like Shared Music, etc.
    off but it didn't help anything.
    Make sure you also turn off "Look for Remote Speakers connected with AirTunes". I forgot about that one.
    I'm using a D-Link Router and I've read that there
    could be some problems with a service called "Bonjour
    Service" but I couldn't find something like that in
    the settings. The firmware is up to date
    "Bonjour" is the name given to a type of communication iTunes and Apple software uses for networking. D-Link routers are, generally, buggy pieces of garbage, and Bonjour triggers a bug in them, causing them to act all fruity.
    If you have the Sharing stuff turned on, or the AirTunes stuff turned on, then iTunes is sending out broadcast packets to your network, basically saying "is there anybody out there", looking for shared music or AirTunes devices.
    Do you reckon it's my router? But why do I only have
    problems with iTunes then? Everything else is running
    perfectly. I can't realy see why I should buy a new
    router because of iTunes (how weird).
    Yes, it is definitely a problem with your router. iTunes is simply sending out stuff that happens to trigger a bug in your router's firmware.
    If you can't get a firmware update, honestly, I'd get a router that isn't D-Link. Like I said, garbage. But, for now, turning off iTunes ability to send Bonjour packets out will temporarily fix the problem. In the long run though, some other software could just as easily make your router act up.

  • Itunes internet connection error

    When I try to install ITunes, an error pops up saying, "We're unable to connect to the download server. It seems that you internet connection is down or firewalled." I checked my internet, and its fine. This usually happens with every program I try to install.

    +I have dial up so i don’t know if this might be causing the problem, is there anyway to fix this?+
    Sounds like the dial=up connection is dropping. My advice is to get it from a friend's house that has high speed internet. Put the iTunes Setup.exe file on a USB memory stick, take it to your PC and drag it to the desktop. Then run the install.

  • I reset my iPhone 4 Network settings to fix the push notification problem, but I lost my internet connection. How do I fix it?

    I tried to solve the "connect to iTunes to receive push notifications"-problem by resetting my network settings, but it only caused me to lose my internet connection when using 3G. Now I can't do anything with this stupid phone. How do I fix it? I don't want to reset anything anymore, I'm sick of this new iOs update, it seriously messed up my phone and I can't do anything properly anymore. Any help?
    And btw, I would also like to get the push notifications back on. Connecting to iTunes did absolutely nothing. Resetting the network settings only made my situation worse. Help please!

    Hi there Julia,
    Ahh The iPhone isn't "stupid" it's been called "stupid" because you are frustrated at the situation , but try
    Load iTunes. Backup your phone. Make sure it is backed up !! Run restore. This will get rid of the error! And please what ever you do , do not skip the back up!
    Thanks,

    had the same problem. windows doesn't see the network card in device manager. what I did is disconnect completely my power cord from my psu , press the cmos clear button and wait 5 min. I reconnect my power cable and power on my pc and voila my network card was recognized by windows has a Ethernet controller. Then I installed the killer driver suite and it work ok. Be sure that you enable your network card in the bios.

  • HT203175 I have no problem signing on to iTunes my issue is once on the site I can not use the "search". It says there is a runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call. Has anyone had this problem and how do I fix it. Thanks

    I do not have a problem getting in the iTunes stores. My issue is once on the site I can not use the "search". It says there is a pure virtual function call R6025. How can I solve this problem? Do I have to create a new account? Do I have to uninstall and re-install? Thanks

    Thanks so much for your feedback. I really appreciate any input here.
    If someone from Adobe could GUARANTEE that this problem would go away if I
    purchased CS4, I would pony up the cash and do it. However, I'm skeptical
    about that because I just saw someone else post a message on the forum today
    who is running CS4 and getting the exact same runtime error as me.
    I'll try un-installing and re-installing as Admin, and if that doesn't work,
    maybe I can find a used copy of CS3.
    In the meantime, I'm also wondering if a Photoshop file can carry any sort
    of corrupt metadata inside it once it has errored out? Reason I ask is, I
    had to port all of my old PSD files to the new computer, and I only seem to
    be getting this error when I attempt to work on one of the files that
    previously got the runtime error when they were sitting on my XP machine.
    When I create new files from scratch on this new computer, they seem to be
    working just fine (at least, for now).
    If so, I would probably be smart to never open those troublesome
    "errored-out" files again.

  • There is a serious problem of iPhone 5's internet connection, both 3G and Wifi (I have not tested on LTE)

    The Wifi and 3G speed is even lower than iPhone 4s even Apple claimed that iPhone 5 is equipped with Ultrafast wireless.
    The data shown by Speedtest show that iphone 4s get a 20Mbps download speed while iPhone 5 is 9Mbps, which testing in same area connected to same
    wifi.
    And 3G connection is not much improve (although safari page load faster, but I believe this is result by A6 chip, it should be faster with normal connection ).
    The other problem is there is static line on the virtual keyboard when i key in password in iTunes (not always). One of my friend which is also an iPhone 5 user
    facing the same problem.
    Hope these are software problem and Apple can fix them in the future iOS update. thanks

  • I now understand frustration - problem signing in to iTunes Store

    Hi there,
    After many unsuccessful attempts to sign in through Store I decided to sign up through the site - success!
    But...
    Now when I try to log in to Store, I get told that "This Apple ID has not been used with iTunes Store... Please review..." - when I try and review my account details I get to the Apple ID authorisation page and the system tells me that the Apple ID I've chosen is already taken.
    I can't get away from this "Please review" scenario and need a big brain to help. Any ideas?

    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.

  • Problems signing into my itunes account to buy music

    Trying to buy in the store, when I try and sign in from my MAC at home, it just keeps "accessing itunes store", while I can get in from my PC at work. Any thoughts people?

    If you have not done so already, try running Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities/) and, on the +First Aid+ tab, using +Repair Disk Permissions+ on your startup drive. Then restart and try it again.
    If that does not help, as a test, create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
    http://discussions.apple.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=9421939
    Log out and log in to the new account. In the new account, run iTunes. iTunes will be using a new library file and new preference files. Try logging into your iTunes account to see if it works better. If so, we'll have to figure out what the exact problem is in your usual user account.
