Trying to access iTunes Store kills network

Mac Mini, Mavericks 10.9.1, iTunes 11.1.3 (8).
When I open iTunes, and click on the "iTunes Store" button, my network connection dies, and nothing will revive it other than rebooting. Any ideas on what might be causing this? I'm connecting to the network using an ethernet cable, not wi-fi.

Took the same route as ricin beans,
Complete reinstall, as painful as it was... at least it all works now.
Luckily I've only had my MBP a week and hadn't had anything on it other than music to export/import, no doubt others aren't so lucky and still waiting for Apple's cure, if they ever provide one.

    Hi all
    i am trying to access iTune store but keep on getting message "cannot access iTune store" i have reset my password several times and it didn’t help. My apple ID has been confirmed as correct. what can I do next?

    I am having the same issue!  I see several people are having this problem, and I see there is no solution from Apple!  Why is it I only see problems on this site and never any solutions?

  • Trying to access itunes store pop up is continually on screen

    Since the upgrade to 10.2 this morning I cannot seem to get rid of the pop up "trying to access itunes store." I click cancel, it goes away for about 5 seconds and comes right back. I was able to purchase and download a song however the pop up appeared multiple times throughout the process. It's to the point where the itunes store is nearly unusable.
    I tried a reinstall of 10.2 to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

  • HT203175 itunes constantly tries to access itunes store.

    When I start up Itunes, it constantly tries to access itunes store.
    I've cleared cache, reinstalled itunes, de-authorised and authorised to no avail.

    I am having similar issues since I downloaded the newest version of itunes. On random songs from my library (mostly purchased through itunes) I am asked to authorize the playing of the song!! What the ****, obviously I want to play the song or I wouldn't have clicked on it! I payed for this music and I should be able to listen to it when and how I want, with or without an internet connection.
    Someone please help me! I have never had any problems with itunes before, but this one is going to make me crazy!

  • Itunes crashing at startup while trying to access Itunes Store

    Hey all, below is a reply I wrote in another thread.  I found a workaround to this issue that's working for me.. thought I'd also create this new thread... hopefully will work for you too until (hopefully) Itunes update/patch fixes the issue. 
    Hello, bump for me on this really annoying issue.  Running Windows 7 SP1, fully updated drivers.  Using latest Itunes, 10.7.0.21.  Just like the others, every time I try to open Itunes, the Itunes store seems like it's trying to load.. and then I inevitably get the "Itunes has stopped working.. Windows is checking.. blah blah" and then crash. I have tried every fix I could find on these and other forums:
    1.  Uninstalled/Reinstalled all Apple software as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 along with CCleaner to clean up any registry issues (after uninstall/before reinstall of course).  DIDN'T WORK.
    2.  Did the winsock reset listed here https://discussions.apple.com/message/17412059#17412059.  DIDN'T WORK.
    3.  Corrupt User Profile (Kernalbase.dll) Issue:  Did the renaming of corrupt Itunes folder listed here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-HK/w7itprogeneral/thread/be53aac5- c560-478a-9598-e0c6a33d9da7 and that worked the FIRST time after renaming the folder to Itunes.old.. i.e. opening Itunes after doing this was successful and thus created a new Itunes folder.  However, after closing itunes and reopening.. I was right back to square one.. Itunes crashing.  (This did "work" partially so probable that issue has something to do with Corrupt Itunes User Profile??)  Ultimately, DIDN'T WORK.
    *BTW, I also did a Run Diagnostics from the help menu of Itunes and got 3 green lights for network connectivity.. one of which is of course "Secure link to Itunes store verified".  So Itunes is telling me it seems to be communicating fine with Itunes Store. 
    There's nothing else that I can see to do short of reinstalling Windows... which I really don't want to do. 
    HOWEVER, after some trial and error, I found a weird little workaround.  It seems like the crash is happening upon the initial attempt by Itunes to connect to the Itunes store.  Here's what I did:
    1.  After opening Itunes (and the initial opening event is so that Itunes tries to connect to Itunes Store -- this will happen if the last page you were on the last time you closed Itunes was Itunes Store), QUICKLY click on "Music" (or any other "offline" library) on the left upper pane of Itunes.  This will take you to your Music library and Itunes will STOP trying to connect automatically to Itunes store.  So now, Itunes is open at least.  Note:  Others have mentioned correctly that if you open Itunes with your internet connection off, it will at least allow you to open Itunes b/c Itunes doesn't try to open Itunes Store if you're offline.  My workaround accomplishes the same thing while still being connected to the internet.
    2.  Now, if you now click on "Itunes Store" directly, it WILL CRASH as per usual. 
    3.  Instead, click on "Purchased"  which is directly under "Itunes Store".  Click ok to the pop-up.  Then, on the bottom right of the screen, click on "Download Previous Purchases".  This will open the previous purchases page which is actually WITHIN the Itunes store.  If you look at the left pane, Itunes Store will now actually be highlighted.  You're now in the Itunes store.. just via the "sidedoor" if you will.  You will also now see all the usual Itunes Store categories along the top of this page like the Home Icon, music, movies, tv, apps, etc. etc.  Click on the Home Icon (music, movies, whatever) and VOILA, it will open Itunes store without crashing! 
    4.  Now that you're "in", you can jump around freely during THIS session.  IE, you can freely go back and forth from looking at your left-pane offline music library, movies, apps, whatever.. and click on Itunes Store in the left pane and Itunes will not crash... you know, how Itunes normally works!
    5.  When you're done using Itunes just make sure the last screen you use before you close Itunes is "Music" or some such.  That way, you won't have to do the "quickly hit Music" the next time you use Itunes.  It will automatically just go to the offline Music library and not try to access the Itunes Store.  Then, just repeat step 3 and you'll be "in" again. 
    I really hope this workaround works for you until Apple updates/patches Itunes for those of us that are having this issue.  If it keeps working for me, I'm gonna live with it until the next Itunes version update hopefully resolves this issue. 
    OH!  PS.  I'm also having the Apple Software Update issue mentioned here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4040994?start=60&tstart=0.  I have no idea how to solve this.. wondering if it's related to the Itunes crashing issue.  I'm also getting the error message when trying to update quicktime from the help menu here https://discussions.apple.com/message/19392457#19392457. 

    Did not get any responses - so did some digging and found the answer myself in other discussions.
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL 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.

  • I can't access iTunes Store? network connection could not be established.

    I recently updated itunes to the latest, but now I can't get the itunes store to work, it just comes up with the message "we could not complete you itunes store request. the network connection could not be established... there was an error in the itunes store. please try again later"

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL 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:

  • Error -1020 When Trying to Access iTunes Store - Help!

    I keep getting Error -1020 when trying to access the iTunes store. Just started happening this morning.
    Nothing online from customer support listed for this error.
    Thanks!

    Looks like it's busted. Same problem here. The way all the support mechanisms work, you can't even report the problem, since you can't really log in to the store.

  • Error code 0x80092013 when trying to access iTunes store

    I currently have the lastest version of iTunes unstalled on a Windows Vista PC. For a few months now, I get the error code 0x80092013 when trying to connect to the iTunes store or log in to my iTunes account. I have tried to run diagnostics but there is no help availavle because iTunes will not connect to the internet to get the help I need.
    I have scoured the interent for a solution to this problem and have tried everything I have come accross, from re-installing to reading every support page I can find. I am becoming so frustrated trying to fix this problem, it is not my apple ID as my iPad works perfectly fine. If anyone can give me a solution that actually works it would be greatley appreciated

    After some research I found the following tip to be working:

  • ITunes crashes when trying to access iTunes Store

    iTunes "crashes" when I try to access the iTunes Music store - I get all the current albums on the lower half of the page, but as the main part tries to load (lady gaga or whoever) iTunes "crashes" - I get the "ignore, report or relaunch" box. iTunes works fine otherwise.
    Here's what I'm using -  Quicksilver PPC G4 @ 1.47GHz w/ 1GB RAM - OS X 10.5.8, iTunes 10.2.2, Quick Time 7.6.9, Safari 5.0.5. No Keychain problems - at least First Aid reports no problems, repaired permissions and rebooted. As far as I can tell, this issue started after the most recent iTunes update (which is why I hate so much to do so). Anyway, I'm buying all my music at Amazon at the moment, so if Apple wants me back in THEIR store I kinda need a fix for this.
    Thanks in advance to all for your help -
    Robert
    P. S. - is it just me, or is this new "discussions" format really a step backwards?  

    Well, as far as I can see, no one has responded to this question. Nor do I see any solutions mentioned in other questions by folks having the same problem. So I can only assume that there IS no fix.
    Oh well, I know that one user is just "small potatoes" as far as the iTunes Store is concerned, but they've just lost this frequent little revenue stream - their loss, Amazon's gain.
    Good-bye iTunes store - it was fun while it lasted...

  • Trying to access iTunes Store shuts down iTunes

    When I try to access the itunes store from my laptop it says "iTunes has stopped working". I have been through the discussion board and saw a few similar questions and tried their solutions and it still has not worked for me.
    I have a HP G42 laptop running windows 7
    I have iTunes 10.5.3 installed
    My anti virus software is Norton 360 and I added iTunes to be allowed
    I changed the pop-up blocker settings
    Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

    hiya!
    you've got a standard 32-bit version. the x64 version has an "x64" mentioned in that screen. for a little more info on that, see:
    http://www.ittvis.com/services/techtip.asp?ttid=4040
    i was checking, because the error message you were getting was very similar to one folks can get if they've got a problem with their QuickTime on an x64 PC. itunes needs a functioning QT to work correctly, and a broken QT can cause problems with viewing the Music Store too.
    try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
    if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
    love, b
