Since sept 20 I cannot search the Itunes store. it just stalls

When I connect to Itunes I can access my library and playlists etc. when I go to the Itune store I can see the screen then when I go to search and type in something common like diana ross, the search goes about 1/2 way and stalls .... 30 min later the screen has not changed

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:

  • 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.

  • IPhone no longer syncs with computer--"Cannot access the iTunes store"

    My iPhone 2G has decided to no longer sync with my iTunes. I do not have internet on my computer (I'm doing this on a friend's), so when I connect my iPhone to my computer, an error message pops up that says "Cannot access the iTunes store". Since my iPhone is normally synced manually, I can still drag new files onto it; however, any movies/podcasts on the iPhone keep reappearing even after I've deleted them (from the iPhone itself). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Delete then re-install iTunes & Delete the following files:
    The iTunes application (located in /Applications)
    com.apple.iTunes.plist (from ~/Library/Preferences)
    iTunes.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
    iTunesX.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
    then re-download the latest version of iTunes.

  • I cannot access the iTunes store.

    I cannot access the iTunes Store when I select that option.  I only get the following message:  "the item you have selected is not currently available in the Canadian Store."  However, I can search the iTunes store and find all kinds of content and even select it.  I have installed iTunes 12.0.1.26.

  • Cannot connect to the itunes store. Just downloaded the new version.

    i just downloaded the new version of itunes and cannot access the itunes store. I have seen other comments that other users have posted and they have had the same issues. i am hoping that it will start working within the next few days as other users have said. if anyone knows of any other suggestions as to what can do to fix this please let me know. i have already tried the suggestions that this website has given me and nothing works. if someone can please tell me if this has happened to them and if their itunes store is now working!!?? and how long did it take to start working again????
    the message that comes up:
    *Itunes could not connect to the Itunes Store.*
    Make sure your connection is active and try again.

    Unfortunately I have experienced the same thing, what possessed me to upgrade when the older version worked just fine I will never know. Apple instructions are great if you can understand what they are talking about...is there an itunes for dummies out there??
    Having said all that, I ended up restoring my system under accessories, trying to go back to before the upgrade, but don't think I went back far enough. Am not quite sure when I actually made the upgrade and I could only go back a few days. But what did happen was I no longer got the "unable to connect to the store" message, I am connecting, but I have no pictures. The top part of the screen is all blacked out as is any place there is supposed to be a picture.
    I also cannot listen to anything, nothing happens if I click on a song. I haven't tried to buy anything, so not sure if that works or not.
    Any ideas?
    I was dismayed to see that the previous posts were from the first part of March and it is now April. I as a new upgrader still ended up with similar problems. Doesn't Apple fix any of this stuff in a timely manner? A month is plenty of time to find a patch to take care of this.

  • I can no longer sync my IPAD2 to my ITUNES and I cannot enter the ITUNES store.

    Up until recently, I was able to enter the ITunes store and sync my IPAD2.  Now I cannot enter the ITune store and cannot sync my IPAD2.  Not sure what to do.  Can anyone help if you have had the same issue?

    Sounds like there is a conflict between iTunes and the security software on your computer. What secuirty software is running on your computer? Have you update the security software or iTunes before this started happening?

  • I need help in resolving a problem that prevents me from accessing the iTunes store.  Message reads " iTunes cannot contact the iTunes store" and also says that my laptop is no longer authorized to access my account.  Help!

    I need help in resolving a problem that prevents me from accessing the iTunes store.  Message reads " iTunes cannot contact the iTunes store" and also says that my laptop is no longer authorized to access my account.  Help!

    Go up to the top of your screen on iTunes and click on 'Store'.  Then go down to 'Authorize This Computer'.  That should cover part of it unless you've already authorized a bunch of other computers to use your account.  If that's the case, you'll have to go to one of those computers and click the button just below it to 'deauthorize your account' from that computer.  If you're not able to access the store, check your internet connection to make sure you are connected.  Hope this helps.. good luck!     

  • Quite suddenly, after a year or so, I cannot access the iTunes store.  I have uninstalled iTunes and downloaded itunes 10.4.  Windows is up to date.  I've requested help from Apple and iTunes support to no avail.  They replied but nothing worked.

    Just before the problem occurred, a message appeared, "Your request could not be completed.  The item you've requested is not currently available in the US store."  Has anone had this problem, and if so, how did you solve it?

    I have the same problem.  Everything else in iTunes works fine, but when I go to the iTunes store, I just get the blank page labeled "iTunes Store."  I don't get an error or anything, it just stops there.  Or, like today, I tried to download a digital copy of a movie, and I got as far as having iTunes try to connect to the store again, and the little box came up with "Connecting to the iTunes Store" title, and the little green dots running across to tell me that it is still trying to connect.  That box just sat there and ran for 4-5 minutes, to no avail.  Also, and I don't know if it is connected to this issue or not, but AppleMobileDevice.exe kicks in everytime iTunes starts and ***** up 99% of my CPU.  And if I end that program, then iTunes starts using the 99%, even though it isn't doing anything.  I've had this problem for at least 3 or 4 months.  I hope someone comes up with an answer; iTunes is losing my business, as I cannot shop or browse or anything.

  • Everytime I try to search the itunes store it locks up my computer.

    When I use the search bar in iTunes to search the iTunes Store it crashes the application. If I use the Power Search option the search works fine and does not crash iTunes. This is a Windows 7 64-bit workstation using the 64-bit version of iTunes and I have completey removed the applications and re-installed and it continues to do this. I just upgraded to 10.3 yesterday and the problem still exists.

    Hi smile9622,
    If iTunes seems to be unexpectedly qutting with the notification that it stopped working, one of these articles should be able to help, depending on your OS.

  • HT201209 Cannot access the iTunes Store in iTunes.

    Cannot access the iTunes Store.  I have downloaded iTunes 8, but still cannot access the iTunes Store.  It shows my Apple ID once I login, but no error message and no right-hand column (or anything) under the iTunes Store window.  Any ideas?

    This might provide some help.
    Can't connect to iTunes store
    It could be a firewall or security software confict that is preventing the connection so you could try disabling those and see if that helps.
    Restart/reboot your iPad and maybe that will help as well.
    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.
    Reboot 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.

  • I upload a podcast each week using Podcast Maker. When I search the iTunes Store to determine if the most recent one is listed all the podcasts are in random order. This week's is

    I upload a podcast each week using Podcast Maker. When I search the iTunes Store to determine if the most recent one is listed all the podcasts are in random order. This week's is #14; last week's is #1. Any ideas how to correct this? The odd thing is that when you try to subscribe to the podcasts, they are listed in the proper order.

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