RE: Itunes Store? or the 10.6 update?

Hi I recently downloaded the latest itunes update 10.6... why does it take forever to sign in on my account or access the itunes store?
Really need your help on this..

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START>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:

  • HT4759 I can not install app's from the app store on my phone,and when i try, i get a message tells me (cannot connect to itunes store) that happened after i updated it to "IOS6" . it's a "IPhone4 S"

    I can not install app's from the app store on my phone,and when i try, i get a message tells me (cannot connect to itunes store) that happened after i updated it to "IOS6" . it's a "IPhone4 S"

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

    This is a copy of ONEof the keys  in the registry I changed  as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR  software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others  they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so  I downloaded the software and installed again.
    Sorry, just this minute went to insert image  and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content  is not allowed?.
    The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr  SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

  • Can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    Ok, I am having literally identical issues with Marathon Max.
    I try to connect, and it says, "Itunes could not connect to the itunes store, Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have contacted my ISP, and they ran a full check, and sayed I should be able to connect to pretty much all websites. I did the whole "ipconfig" thing and that was no help. I also tried the "msconfig" thing, and it sayed it did not recognize it as any kind of command, internal or external command or operable program or batch file. Whats strange is I can connect from another computer just fine, but when offered to upgrade itunes I declined for fear of the same thing happpening. I am tempted to just upgrade it and thus demonstrate that itunes has a flaw in their upgrade. I will save this computers diagnostics, and the other one's too, before and after the upgrade. I look forward to sending more feedback regarding this matter

    If you mean a newsstand subscription then try logging into your itunes account on a mac or pc.
    Subscriptions can be cancelled from within there.

  • Ever since updating to IOS6 I cannot access the iTunes store and the App Store sends me to the China site.

    Since updating my phone to IOS 6 I cannot access the itunes store and the app store sends me to the China one.
    I am temporarily in China and have put a Chinese SIM in my phone. Is this why?

    I have still got the problem, I have tried every thing suggested, I think it has something to go with my apple sign in, when signing in & putting in password it just goes grey as though I haven't signed in no error???. I can sign in to this forum with Apple ID, I am a beginner please any suggestions, I did try to make a new Apple ID, put in all detail credit card etc but I can not find it & no confirmation. IPad will be flying out of the window if I can't get it sorted.

    Hi msahed,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue with your PC establishing a secure connection to the iTunes Store and the firmware update server. Try following along with the articles below, as they should resolve the issues that you described.
    iTunes: About the "A secure network connection could not be established" alert

  • ITunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The network conect timed out

    I am having trouble with iTunes,
    Message: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The network conection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active then try again."
    Im not sure when exactlt this happend, it may have been after i downloaded an iTunes update, but I cant be sure. Other than that nothing else has really changed. I have now had this problem for a couple of weeks.
    I am running windows Vista (32 bit System)on my HP Laptop and have ADSL and am able to run explorer and all other non-apple software.
    I have tried all other advice offerd in the various supports:
    1. re-installed iTunes
    2. Checked all firewall settings - even removed Norton security (currently just operating on windows Visat security and have checked all that)
    3. changed "host" file to "back-host"
    4. played around and tested various internet settings
    I hope this information helps to solve the problem. I have also recently found some other information which may be useful:
    Although I do not use "safari" as an internet explorer, this does not work on my system either. I have re-installed this to see if it helps but am still unable to connect to the apple store (home page) on safari. I have looked up the support site for safari but have thus far be unable to find any helpful information to solve the problem.
    Please help this is very frustrating...
    Many thanks in advance!

  • When i try to open my itues it says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, and try again"

    when i try to open my itues it says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, and try again"

    I am having similar issues except that the store starts to load, then stops, then I only get iTunes Store in gray letters on a white screen. I can access playlist and the other stuff. Like flamesgirl, I contacted them and they just keep sending me links of stuff to try which I had already seen on the Apple website and nothing works. I posted the question on another forum I belong to and one responder said her husband was in an Apple store and asked about this problem as he was having the same issue. They said an update would be coming out soon as they were aware of the problem. Who knows.

  • Can't connect to the iTunes Store nor the AppStore

    Since 2 or 3 weeks, I can't connect to the iTunes Store nor the AppStore.
    When I try to download any app or song, I get prompted to write my password, and as soon as I begin to write it down on the iPhone 4 GSM, the propmt window dissapears and I get the "No puede conectarse a iTunes Store" (Can't connect to iTunes Store).
    I have used this account both in my first iphone 3g which works perfectly with this account, and I've been using it also on this new iPhone 4 till 3 weeks ago when i Couldn't connect nor make any purchases or update any app since I can't write down the password.
    I've tried writing it on the notepad, copying it so I can paste it really fast, and still the iPhone 4 GSM won't let me. Please help

    to be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work..
    first thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo
    if that doesn't work I would restore from backup and if that doesn't work I would restore as new if all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

    I've turned my iPad off, then on again, I've logged out of iTunes, and logged back in, I've updated my credit card information, but nothing seems to be working. Is this a problem within the app?

  • My IPad says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when I try to update

    My IPad says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when I try to update apps.  How can I resolve this?

    I had the same problem and tried absolutely everything...on my own and stuff I'd read on-line.  Nothing worked.  What finally did was this.  I held down an app until all started jiggling.  Then I deleted one of the ones that needed updating.  Then pushed the round button at the bottom of the iPad to stop the movement.  Then went to the "Featured" section of the App Store.  In the search box (top right corner) I typed in the name of the app I'd just deleted.  When it pulled up, I chose "Install".  Worked perfectly.  I went through this process, one-by-one, until I got all of them done.  Now, everything is updated. 
    Sure hope this helps you and hope this isn't the new norm for how to do updates.  I used to just select "Update All", entered my password, and the updates started happening. 

  • When I go to the ITunes stores within the application, the interface is distorted.

    When I go to the iTunes store within the Windows application, I always see this.  It makes it very difficult to browse for content.  I can usually get to things I specifically search for.  This is consistent each time I install an updated version.

    Perhaps try the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • The APP store wants me to sign into itunes store and the default Apple ID it displays is wrong

    I have iPhone 5c.
    OS 8.3
    When trying to get an update at the App store, the prompt says sign in to iTunes store but the default Apple ID it shows is not mine.
    I can sync OK and access my account and everything else shows the correct Apple ID.
    How do I get the default Apple ID that is displayed changed?

    What that means is that the Application you were trying to update was either purchased or downloaded to that device by a different Apple ID.
