Lost connection to itunes store after latest itunes upgrade?

I have lost the ability to access the itunes store after uploading the latest v9 itunes. An error message appears saying check internet connection. My internet connection is fine for everything else. Any ideas as have bought an itouch and would like to upload some new stuff onto it?!

Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? There have been reports that some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes. Consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure; you can find instructions for Norton on Symantec's web page for iTunes. You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
Hope this helps.

My apple tv has lost connection with Itunes store. How can I fix this?

My Apple TV was working just fine, but now I cannot log into the Itunes store. I am using the correct login name and password. I can't access my music from Itunes Match.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

Itunes update 10.4.0.80 has lost my connection to itunes store and sync capability

Since mistakenly updating to the above version, i can no longer connect to the itunes store (although the internet connection is fine) and my ipad will not syncronise any selected documents with apps when connected by USB. I have lost all of the associated documents that were with the ipad apps. I can connect to itunes store over wifi with the ipad and my iphone without any problem though.
When you click on itunes store within itunes on the PC the progress bar stops halfway and leaves a blank window. The same symptom is displayed when clicking on the Help option.
No idea what to do now. Any suggestions?
regards
John

John,
Even i am facing the same exact problem the way you are facing, but i thought my net is having problem so i changed the net also. Now it seems that Apple has problem with this version.If you find any solution kindly mail me on [email protected] I would appreciate your help for the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Mayuresh,

Your purchase could not be completed. Connection Lost. Cannot connect to Itunes Store.

About three months ago, I when I started playing Hay Day games, I could not purchase addional coins (in-game purchase) through Itunes store. When I purchased, I got this message "Your purchase could not be completed. Connection Lost. Cannot connect to Itunes Store", even I could buy other apps without having any problems. I gave up. About couple weeks later, even I did not do anything, the game started let me purchase coins games. That lasts for two months. Yesterday I have the problem again. Please advise. Thanks.

Well, since the error specifically directed you to contact iTunes Support, that would be the fastest way to get it resolved:
iTunes Support WorldWide
or by email:

Upgraded to iOS5 and now cannot connect to iTunes Store

After upgrading to iOS 5, I cannot connect to the iTunes Store. I was having the problem at home where I was connected to my home network, and now when I'm not connected to a network.
Suggestions?

This appears to be an Apple ID issue. I was forced to change my username to my email (which I had already done years ago) after searching and searching for reasons why my password all of the sudden didn't work on my iPhone. This started about 3-4 weeks ago.
So my password needed to be re-set when I tried to access my iTunes on my computer, and my iTunes balance disappeared. My username was still my email address (as it had been for years) but my gift card balance was gone and so was ownership of all my apps and music
Now, after upgrading to iOS5 my ONLY Apple ID now works with the re-set password, but it lost all of my apps. They are there, but when I go to update them through the iTunes store, I get that "cannot connect to itunes store" error message because after that weird 'update' to my Apple ID it seems to have lost all history I've had with Apple.
This is so upsetting, as I'm finding out that Apple does not allow recovery of these purchased items between these ID's. So, now I'm wondering where in the heck is my "old" apple id?? I can't sign in with my "old" info....
Lame.

IPad app store message "Cannot connect to iTunes store"

Recently my iPad (wifi) & my husband's iPhone (AT&T)have been unable to connect to the app store or iTunes. We get the message "cannot connect to iTunes store". The only thing that I have done recently is download a kindle book & add a Bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard was never paired with the iPhone so I don't think that could be the issue. The iPad & iPhone have both been updated, but that hasn't resolved the issue. There was no problem connecting to iTunes through the PC to run the update. Why would both devices suddenly have the same problem? One is wifi & one is 3G so it's not the connection. They have nothing in common except the error. Any help would be appreiciated since this is getting frustrating. Thanks!

Hi, Thank you! I did as you suggested but it didn't work. So, this time I cleared all apps out of the tray, signed out of my account at the store, and did a hard reboot. Then on my desktop I signed out of my account in iTunes and then synced. I have signed back into the store on the iPad but still get the same message.

Get message on iPhone 4S, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store." How can I access the iTunes Store?

I get a Message on iPhone 4S, "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store." How can I access iTunes Store? Yes, I am WiFi connected.

Well folks I finally got my "can't connect to iTunes" issues fixed. Seems that there was an unauthorized change to my email address and account therefore not allowing mr to connect to iTunes.
Here is how I got it fixed.
1. Contacted iTunes store support
2. Followed their instructions and replyed with the following info:
An order number from one of my purchases
Last 4 digits of the c.c. Used for the iTunes store acct
Answer to one of my security questions
And 2 items from this list.
Birthdate
Billing address for Acct
Phone number on acct
It was after all of this that they saw that someone had made an account modification back in February when the issue began. Seems they changed my email address just slightly and that is what kept me from being able to sign in and not a password issue. This was likely due to a phishing email that came out in conjunction with iCloud asking users to change their passwords to a more secure form by adding a capital and number.
To get all of this cleared up it took about 4 days as we emailed back and forth. I also needed a seperate email address they could use to send me info. Once they determined the issues and went to get them fixed by changing the email address associated with the acct and I created a new password I was able to access iTunes with no issues and even my previously thought lost acct balance was there.
Hope this helps

Can no longer connect to iTune store - "server is down" message

Suddenly I can no longer connect to iTune Store via my AppleTV
What should I do? Many thanks

Wait for the server to come back. If the server is down, then there is nothing you can do about it, and you must wait for apple to get the server back up and running.

Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
