Sudden problems accessing webpages and iTunes & App store.

About 2 days ago, my iMac started having problems accessing the iTunes store (and downloading purchases), accessing the App store, and loading webpages (both on Safari and Firefox). The rest of my applications work without problems. At first I thought it might be a internet connection problem, however, I don't have any problems on my MacBook, iPad or iPhone. I tried fixing the disk permissions, but that had no effect. Any ideas on what I should try next. I thought maybe I should do a clean installand then restore my my applications and user data from a backup I will make, however, I couldn't download Mountain Lion because of the problems with the App store (the download stalled at 360k). I know I can download it to my MacBook, but I was wondering if anyone out there has experienced anything similar and what might otherwise be done to fix it.
Thanks,
Erich

Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Reset the System Management Controller.

FYI! Intego NetBarrier X5 and iTunes App Store Issues

I discovered last night (while attempting to download the iPhone 3.0 update) that my 3rd party firewall, Intego's NetBarrier X5, is preventing App Store application and iPhone software updates.
Back in early March, I upgraded NetBarrier from X4 to X5, importing my settings from the old version into the new. From that point on, I have been unable to update my iPhone applications from within iTunes; I was caught in an endless loop of being asked to log into the App Store, and being denied access (almost as if my credentials weren't making it to Apple's servers). The weird part was, I had no problem downloading music, movies, etc. from the iTunes Store; this issue only affected App Store downloads/updates.
I do not know if this is a problem with Intego or an Apple. I'm inclined to believe that something changed within iTunes 8; a change to the ports used to access the App Store, as opposed to the regular iTunes Store. I say this because, when I turned off NetBarrier completely, I was finally able to access/download my application updates after months of not being able to. As soon as I turned it back on, I got caught up in that endless login loop again. This is definately an issue.
I post this information in the hope that it will resolve similar issues for others. iTunes Support, when contacted numerous times, was completely useless.
It appears that I'm going to have to configure my firewall to allow ALL iTunes traffic to pass. Can someone please tell me where I can find a comprehensive list of ports that must be open for iTunes to function properly? I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello Everyone,
After upgrading to Snow Leopard, and re-installing X5 (10.5.4), it looks like I may have identified the cause of this issue.
It appears that, within X5, if you select the "+Hide my Apple ID when using iTunes MiniStore+" option (Overview --> Privacy --> Data --> Surf), it jacks-up connections to iTunes Store App/iPhone OS Updates.
For now, I have de-selected this option, and everything seems to be functioning as it should.
I cannot believe that something as stupid as this has caused me (and countless others) so many months of aggravation. I will be reporting this as a defect to Intego later today.
Hope this information helps.

Strange and Sudden Problem With Ipad and Itunes

Hey all, have been searching online and haven't found an answer to this problem... so any help would be very much appreciated!
My girlfriend's father gave us an IPad as a very generous present several months ago. He had hooked it up to his computer to play with it a bit before handing it over, so of course his ITunes info was present when I plugged it into my computer. No problem: I went into the setting and changed everything, sync'ed it up, etc.
No problems until last week.
I saw I needed to update some apps. I went into the Ipad's App Store. It prompted me for my ITunes username and password. I entered it, and it let me continue. I went to update my apps, and it prompted me a second time: this time suddenly asking for my gf's father's password!
I have never had this problem before (use the ipad all the time, etc). As far as troubleshooting, I have so far:
1) Gone into the ipad settings, signed out of my username, signed back in, etc.
2) Signed out of the IPad's itunes in settings, gone into my computer's Itunes and signed out... then plugged Ipad into computer and signed back in to both Itunes at the same time.
But still, the same thing happens.... prompts me for MY itunes password upon just entering the App Store.... then asking for my gf's father's password the moment I try to download something.
Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

In order to resolve this, you need to do the following:
1) Go back to your girlfriend's father's computer where the iPad was first synced.
2.) Plug the iPad in to the computer.
3.) Sign out of your dad's iTunes Store account via iTunes.
4.) Then, reboot the iPad.
That should fix the issue.

Mavericks won't install and iTunes/App Store always quit unexpectedly.

Let me start by saying that I am not very computer-savvy. That being said, I don't mess with my computer very much so I feel like this should be an easy fix.
The problem started a few days ago when my macbook froze and then shut down. When I booted it back up, I noticed that iTunes wouldn't open. The icon would just bounce for a while and then I would get the message that iTunes had quit unexpectedly. I figured that updating my OS to Maverick would possibly solve the problem. I downloaded Mavericks, but when my computer rebooted and Mavericks began installing, it stopped after two minutes and simply said that it could not complete installation and that I should try restarting my computer. So I did. And the same thing happened again and again. Eventually i chose the old startup disk and gave up. But now the app store is doing the same thing as iTunes. I tried a disk repair and I tried to repair disk permissions but neither helped. I have a lot of music in my iTunes library so I'd rather not uninstall/reinstall iTunes.
Any help on either front would be wonderful!!
Thank you!

update: I reinstalled iTunes and it's working now

HT4484 I have changed my apple I'd but am having a problem with iCloud and the App Store accepting the changed I'd what do I do?

I changed my apple I'd but the App Store and iCloud are still using my old ID. What do I do to get them to use my new Id?

An iCloud acount is tied to the Apple ID, if you have created a new Apple ID then you will need to create a new iCloud account.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
https://www.apple.com/support/icloud/account/
All content that you bought using the old Apple ID is forever tied to that ID can only be redownloaded, updated and access using that Apple ID. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another and Apple does not merge Apple IDs.

Problem signing up for iTunes app store account without a credit card (cred

I'm trying to test my friend's (free) iTunes app, and followed Apple's own instructions to get an app store account without a credit card:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
Unfortunately, every time I try to enter my info in iTues and submit, the response is "Your credit card was declined". This is VERY frustrating as I'm choosing 'none' and trying to sign up WITHOUT a credit card, there is no credit card to be declined?! Help?

You can only choose None for credit card if you switch to USA AppStore.
Just while registartion choose USA.
You should google more

Safari and itunes app store have mysteriously unistalled - how do i reinstall

Problems with mail and Mac App Store, can't reinstall mavericks.

I have a 2012 Macbook Air. A while ago, I started getting this message when I tried to open mail.
Also, when I try to open the mac app store, it looks like this regardless of the tab I choose.
First, I tried backing everything up through time machine and restoring my mac, but that did nothing. Next, I tried repairing the disk through recovery mode, but it said everything was ok. Lastly, I tried reinstalling Mavericks through recovery mode, but I got a message saying "OS X Mavericks failed to download. Use purchases page to try again." Of course, I can't use the purchases page because it won't load . The nearest Apple store is 2 hours away, so I'd really like to avoid visiting one, if possible. I would be grateful beyond words for any help. Thanks in advance.

Just to confirm, you can boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
When you select to reinstall OS X, what happens?
Fix for missing MAS
It's possible #1 will do the trick, but you might need to do the additional steps in Keychain access.
1. Delete the files /var/db/crls/crlcache.db and /var/db/crls/ocspcache.db. These can be found using Finder’s Go >; Go To Folder menu (Cmd + Shift + G). This resets the cache of accepted certificates in the system. It doesn’t remove them, it just forces the system to rebuild the caches upon restart.
2. Open Keychain Access (/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access). Select Certificates in the Category picker on the left side. In the search bar, type in the word Class. Look through that list, and find any certificates that have a blue + symbol over their icon. These are the ones you need to modify.
Select one that has a blue +, and hit Command + I. Click the disclosure triangle beside the “Trust” list to show the list of permissions. Now, what we need to do is to set this certificate to use the system defaults. However, for some reason, when you select it, it doesn’t save. So what you need to do is this. Under “Trust”, where it says “Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)”, change the dropdown menu to say “No Value Specified”. Then, close the window. It will ask for your administrator permissions. Then, open the info pane for that certificate again. Under “Trust” again, now set the dropdown that says “When using this certificate:” to say “Use System Defaults”. You can then close out of the info pane, and enter your password again. Do this for any of the certificates that have a blue + on their icon. There should only be one or two at most.
(Note: I had to toggle the settings before it would stick)
Restart your system.

Am I alone in having problems accessing iTumes or the App store?

Since yesterday, whenever I try to access iTunes or the App store for my iPad, I get transferred within the iTunes or App store to the "download iTunes" page of Apple's website; as a result, I cannot access either the App store or iTunes. Anyone has an idea as to how that can be corrected?

Hi. I have just upgraded to the IPhone5. I have synced to WIFI and I am still unable to connect to ITunes, App Store or Safari. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help. NR1420

What happens when you try? Do you get an error message.
disconnect from the wifi and try on cellular data, if you can access the apps, then the problems lies with your router.

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.
