Stuck on Apps Store, can't access Music Store

Since logging into the Apps store, I've been unable to get into the music store. Home button just brings me back to Apps store home. Is the Music store not activated in my home country (Singapore) or something? Help!

I am in Singapore and I can no longer access the App Store from iTunes! Clicking the categories or using the search function returns the "We could not complete your iTunes Store Request. An unknown error occurred (504)." error.
Any thoughts as to why this would suddenly start? I was able to use it up until a few days ago--maybe until November 6th.
Thanks,
Kevin

Can't access Music Store

After changing to a wireless, broadband Internet access, I downloaded the latest iTunes and was finally able to connect to the Music Store -- for all of one morning. My problem seems to be different from those I've seen mentioned on Apple Discussions, as I get no error message -- iTunes tries and tries to connect to the store, to no avail. And no error message.
Nevertheless, I've tried everything suggested here: gone to the "windows/system32/drivers/etc" folder and checked the host file there; checked my firewall settings, both atGuard and Windows, and turned them off and on; reinstalled the latest iTunes; reinstalled a previous iTunes from my Cd. Nothing works.
I use Windows XP SP2.
Can anyone suggest anyting new?

Thanks for the tip. I did reset the router -- nothing. I've also tried connecting through the phone line -- nothing. And the dos suggestions you posted on a different thread. Perhaps it is a metaphysical twist, and it's simply not going to happen.
The people at iTunes Music Store support replied to my email telling me to upgrade to the latest versions of iTunes and Quicktime, which I find rather unhelpful.

Itunes can't access music store

i'm having trouble with iTunes accessing the store.
I'm connected to my internet, and my IE and other programs works perfectly fine. However, iTunes returns the error:
"iTunes could not connect to the music store. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
I have a firewall, but i'm sure it's not causing the problem because i shut it off just now, and iTunes still doesn't work.
I tried the support pages but it didn't help much. What do you expect is the problem? I was able to access the music store a couple of months ago, but now it hasn't worked for over a month.
I currently live in China by the way, if that has anything to do with it, since the government blocks many sites. any possibility iTunes was blocked?

wait a while. The music store server is probably down for maintenance. Today is tuesday and it's the day for all the new releases so they may be updating. This happens sometimes. You may also need to update your account if you have not been on for a long time or if you are using a different computer, or you may need to update to the latest version of iTunes.

If you haven't already, try restarting your computer.

Can't access music store with my apple id

I've tried from two different machines so I don't think it's related to my machine. When I login to the music store with my apple id I'm presented with a page to create an apple account for the us music store. I click the Agree buttons and nothing happens. Any ideas? I'm using the latest version of iTunes on a brand new XP Pro install with updates.

Changing User Accounts in XP. New account wont access Music Store

We have been ituning in Windows XP Pro happily. Our laptop has 2 XP user accounts you see at log in. The Itunes is set up under "Dad" (who is an administrator). We want to set up Itunes under "Son". So we installed Itunes (from scratch off the internet) into Son's User Account.
So far, so good.
"Son"'s Itunes works fine WITH ONE EXCEPTION...we can't access the Music Store to buy tunes, look at the shopping cart, etc.
The error message is approximately "Itunes can't access Music Store server...."
HOWEVER, when we log back on as Dad's XP account, it works just fine. Go back to Son's XP account, no good.
I tried logging off in the Dad account. Didn't help.
Any ideas? We are getting full internet access on the Son's User account. If we can only get one User Account to work with the Music Store. That's fine. We want to switch it to my son's XP Usre account.

Note that when it says "publicly accessible location", it needs to be a place where everyone has read and write access.

Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, 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.

Cannot access music store - error message 404

ok- i guess i'm looking for an explanation more than a solution. while trying to download a song (as usual) this morning i received an error message for the first time ever. "cannot access music store. please try again later. 404" ... for 2 hours i searched the net for a solution, checked my firewall, even joined this forum. right before posting this message again, i tried to download the song so i'd be able to explain the error message in this posting. but itunes decided to work.
my question-- does itunes sometimes time out because of heavy traffic? will this problem lessen if i upgrade to a newer version? (btw- how do i do that? i checked off "dont remind me again" when the pesky reminder would pop up... now i want to upgrade.)

Hi - I have the same problem. With the additional wrinkle that I can't close iTunes when it can't connect to the Music store. I have to use Task Manager to kill it. I am totally fed up with Apple for their lack of support on this. However, I have had one thought though: I notice that iTunes registers itself with Windows Firewall as an exceptional program that is allowed to receive incoming network connections. I don't object to that - but the thing is I am using a network modem which has its own built-in firewall. If iTunes has to be able to receive incoming network connections, don't I have to configure the network modem's firewall to treat it as an exception too? I have just done a search for "iTunes Firewall" in Google and it came up with loads of promising looking stuff. I will investigate further.
