Secure Link to itunes store failed issue

I cannot access the itunes store or even authorize my computer. I have been working on this for months. Done everything that Apple support emailed me and I am ready to go crazy. My diagnostic shows secure link to itunes store failed. Can anyone help?

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Secure link to iTunes Store failed: HELP!

I'm new to iTunes and purchased my first iPod yesterday night. The first time I plugged in my iPod to sync it, I wasn't able to. At first I had version 10 then it updated. On the previous version I was able to access the iTunes store but wasn't able to sync my iPod. I had downloaded the most recent version of iTunes (10.1) and then this problem occured.
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The network connection timed out. Please make sure that the network settings are correct and that your netowrk is connected, then try again."
I've read several different manuals and emailed Apple about it. I've tried a lot of different things to fix it.
+-change firewall settings+
+-redownloaded iTunes+
+-contacted Apple Tech Support+
+-changed proxy settings+
+-changed permissions+
+-disabled firewall+
+-restarting iTunes+
+-restarting router+
And several others. Nothing seems to work. I ran a diagnostic review and this is what came up.

What do I do? Any information and suggestions would be very helpful.

i found a solution that worked in my case..i found it in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2284692?start=0&tstart=0 in texlark's post..i copied and pasted it here:
The Fix (& It's NOT Your Firewall)
A. Symptoms
When you try to connect to the iTunes Store you may receive the alert message "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occured (-9808). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
B. Resolution
Check your computer's date, time, and time zone. Set the correct date, time, and time zone if needed. If your computer's date, time, and time zone are all correct and you still see this alert message, this issue can be resolved by modifying certain settings in the Internet Options control panel:
1) Go to the Start menu and choose Control Panel.
2) Select Internet Options.
Note: If you are using Windows Vista you may need to select Classic View on the left before you can see Internet Options.
Note: If you are using WIndows 7 you may need to change "View by" to either Large icons or Small icons before you can see Internet Options.
3) Click the Advanced tab.
4) In the Settings box, scroll down to the Security section.
5) Deselect the option to "Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)."
6) Select the options for "SSL 3.0" and "TLS 1.0."
7) Apply the changes and restart your computer.

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
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1470
iTunes for Windows: iTunes can't contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1814
I hope this helps.

Secure link to iTunes Store Failed using XPSP3

I cannot log into the iTunes store. When I run diagnostics it indicates Secure Link to iTunes Store Failed. It does not appear to be my related to McAfee security software as the issue remains when the file wall is disabled. I have following the trouble shooting steps from the website and have also tried disabling all start up programs except qttask and iTunes Helper.
Any other suggestions on how to restore the secure link and enable connection?

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:

Secure link to itunes store failed computer not connected to internet tried ununininstalling everything to do with itunes no joy also error code coming up E0000225 anybody out there got any ideas

Secure link to itunes store failed, (computer not connected to internet tried uninstalling everything to do with itunes,no joy also errror code E0000225 appearing. Have turned off windows firewall and also my Bullguarg security settings.Can anybody out there please help me thanks.

Hi,
You could be right that the response to clicking on help is a symptom of an entirely separate issue, but nevertheless the secure link to itunes is definitely failed, and I am unable to log into Itunes on either PC.
I also noticed that even if I click on the link to create a whole new Apple ID, I cannot do that either, presumably because the secure link is not working.
After I noticed that there were weird things happening this morning, I did change my Apple ID password in the hope that this might resolve it, but it seemed to make it worse. Now, all of my apple devices keep constantly prompting me for the apple ID password, and randomly either accepting it, or telling me it is wrong. I know the password is correct because I can log onto the apple Manage My Apple ID screens in a web browser with it.
I was starting to think that this is an ISP issue (BT Broadband), but I have not seen anyone else posting with the same issue. Does Apple use a different security protocol to everyone else? I'm asking because all other secure services seem to be working fine, but anything related to apple that requires a secure connection or authentication is having issues.
I have also seen reference to making sure that Itunes is listed as an allowed program in Windows Firewall. I cannot seem to do this because it says that my Windows firewall is being managed by McCafee. I have checked the settings in McCafee, and it appears to me that Itunes, Bonjour, and many other apple programs have been granted "Full" access. As said before in any case I have tried temporarily disabling the firewall and even this did not solve the problem.

ITunes 64-bit runs 32-bit, Secure link to iTunes Store failed, and SyncMapiInterfaceHelper_x64 crashes every time I click 'Info' tab in an iDevice.

Hello everyone,
There are 3 issues I have, as it reads in the title.
1) I am running iTunes on a Win7 64-bit ThinkPad, and iTunes shows up as a 32-bit application in the Task Manager, always. I tried even the complete uninstalling (after removing Bonjour, Apple Mobile Service, deleting the folders, etc.) and yet, it shows up the same way.
2) When I run diagnostics, it says 'Secure link to iTunes Store failed'. I've tried many things from whatever I've read in the forums and nothing seems to be changing that.
3) Every time I click the 'Info' tab on any iDevice (I tried it with a 3GS and a iPod Touch), I get a 'SyncMapiInterfaceHelper_x64 has stopped working' message thrice. I don't know the significance of thrice but it just does come.
I hope someone helps.
Thanks!

That one's normal. On 64-bit systems, iTunes is a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit componentry. The itunes.exe is 32-bit.
Oh, okay. Thanks!
Could you walk us through what happens when you try to connect to the Store, please?
The issue is when I run diagnostics. I happened to run it last night while updating my 3GS to iOS 6, and there was a 3194, and a search to solve that, led me to running the diagnostic.
I was wondering how it affects me because I haven't faced any issue in downloading or browsing the AppStore. The transcript of the 'Run diagnostics', for networks is as below:

Secure link to itunes store failed windows 7

I have internet access as I just finished downloading and installing iTunes but I cannot get to the store through it

I was having this issue for a while also. The only way I could get access to the iTunes store was to run the diagnostic test, and then click cancel on the dialogue box where it told me "secure link to iTunes store failed". By canceling the diagnostic box the store would load, but I'd have to do that everytime I wanted to access the store.
I tried doing what wiclee suggested however it never worked.
I was also having trouble in the store actually loading. It would take forever, if it ever would load and always, the genius setting was trying to send information to Apple about my library but always froze at like 3% or so.
I went looking through my control panel thinking that maybe it was my firewall and after about three hours of searching through it all I came across a message that told me that iTunes had stopped working a few times - the dates were from decemeber 2012, but it also said that iTunes needed an update; evern though iTunes was telling me that it was up to date.
I clicked on the link that took me to the apple page on the net to download iTunes again, and in the dowload box it had either a 'repair' option or an 'uninstall' option. I clicked on repair and let it do its thing and my itunes seems to work perfectly fine now. My access to the store is a fast as a cheeter and I no longer have issues with genius getting stuck in sending data. Having said that however, I did only do this about ten minutes ago and haven't reset my computer yet.
If what wiclee suggested worked thats great, but if you ever have any issues with it again, maybe try repairing your itunes.

HT3204 I got a reading of "secure link to iTunes store failed" when I ran a diagnostic "network connectivity" test. What's wrong and how do I fix it? I am indeed unable to connect to the store.

Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong when I try to connect to the iTunes store? I got a message "secure link to iTunes store failed" when I ran a diagnostic "network connectivity" text. What's wrong?
Thanks for any help you can give me!

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

HT3204 When doing a "Network Connectivity Test" on my PC, as to iStore Connectivity, it says "Secure Link to iTunes Store failed". And when trying to "authorize" my computer to sync ringtones I downloaded to my PC, I keep getting an errot message.

When doing a "Network Connectivity Test" on my PC, while in iTunes, it tells me that "Secure Link to iTunes Store Failed", yet I'm connected to the internet. I was unable to "authorize" my PC with an error message, as well, giving me the code (-3212), saying I was not connected to the internet, yet I am. I can open browser after browser, and navigate just fine. In going through the iTunes Help menu, I am running the tests offered in the drop-downs, but I keep getting the afore-mentioned errors.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Tried everything, but "Secured link to iTunes Store failed"

Hi all, I so hope you can help!
I can't connect to the iTunes Store, which also means I can't do any Home Sharing (this being my ultimate goal in solving my problem). I've got Windows 7 home edition, 64-bit, and the newest iTunes. Running diagnostics on this iTunes verifies that I can connect to the internet, but it says that "Secured link to iTunes Store failed".
I've tried what feels like everything! Trying to read tens and tens of threads on the matter here.. my tried solutions have been:
1. Reinstalling iTunes, the latest version 11.0.1.12
2. Running the command promt as an administrator, with "netsh winsock reset"
3. Command promt with "sfc /scannow" (finding no problems)
4. Agreeing to all windows updates
5. Updating and repairing QuickTime
I don't know what to do, I really need this to start working! Any ideas? Please!
I've also tried everything from this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18106897#18106897
