TS1368 Still cannot connect to iTunes after reading article

Even though I am allowing iTunes through my windows 7 firewall, I still cannot connect to the iTunes store. When I run the iTunes diagnostics it tells me that the firewall is blocking iTunes but that is not true. I am running the latest version of iTunes.
I have gone through every step of the instructions here dealing with this problem but nothing is working. Does anybody know how to get iTunes to work with Windows 7? I am using Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus program in case that helps.

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 n 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:

TS1368 Still cannot connect to iTunes store with iPad2. Have tried all suggestions.

I cannot connect to iTunes store with my iPad2. Not sure why. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears... Thanks so much!

Don't know if this has any bearing on the conversation at hand, but I ran into this issue last night. Started when I couldn't purchase anything via Comixology. Which caused a lot of swearing.
But then realized, that I couldn't get to the Apple store either.
Figuring that it was my wifi access point being a jerk, I reset that. And "forgot", then reconfigured my wireless.
Still nothing.
At this point, I checked our ISP (Charter) to see if they had an outage. They did. DNS servers were hosed. I gave up and went to bed.
This morning. Same thing. One thing I noticed, was that all of our computers -- not iDevices -- had no problems. Weird.
So I checked the firewall, and found that every request was going to Malaysia, or Thailand. I have country blocking enabled on our firewall. So, I thought that was weird. Checked the IP addresses that were blocked, and found that they were Akamai addresses. I allowed one device through, to test, and everything works.
Wondering if Apple is leaning on Akamai for the flood of traffic that the IOS 6 upgrade is causing.
In any case, if your ISP, or firewall, router, what-not blocks Asian rim countries, it's worth a check.

Cannot connect to iTunes after iOS6 install. Tried to reset date forward as others have suggested, has not worked. Any other idea's solutions out there?

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE

2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

I cannot connect to iTunes after new update on iPad air

I Cannot connect to iTunes or App Store after new update and I have tried all the trouble shooting stuff....no good. When I close the app the contents are there but when I tap on them the error message comes up and the app contents goes blank....Help. I need them for my business.

Hello Deryn340,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you're currently unable to connect to either the iTunes Store or the App Store on your iPad, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting steps outlined below.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
If the steps above didn't resolve your issue, be sure that your specific alert isn't listed as a possible iTunes Store error. Then, if your issue is still unresolved, follow these steps.

I cannot connect to ITunes after updating to IOS 7.0.2,cannot update my apps nor download new apps. When I tap the quick test for IOS diagnostics it says it cannot verify the ticket number.

After updating to IOS 7.0.2 in my Ipad mini I cannot update my apps nor download new apps . It says "cannot connect to ITunes. " it's been almost 3 wks now. I have tried resetting it and trying other options like changing the DNS to just 8.8.8 etc but to no avail. I try to run the IOS diagnostics but it couldn't verify my ticket number. Everytime I open my mail it cannot identify server identity " Apple.imap.yahoo.com." But I just clicked "continue" anyway so I could get my mail.

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

I cannot connect to the iTunes store on my iPad

This seems to be the newest fix for this, so give it a try - go to Settings>General>Date and time and change the date to some time in the future. Try to update again. If you get some sort of security message - go back and change the date again to the current date and then try to update again.
Here is one place that I read this. This one does not mention the security message.

My iphone wouldn't connect to the itunes store for updates. I tried every solution I could find online, nothing worked. Today I tried changing the date to 2 months ahead (not sure why... something I read I think) and it connected to the itunes store. I switched back to auto date and time and it still connects.

Still cannot connect to iTunes store

I have changed the date and that allowed me to access the app store via passbook. I cannot, however, access the app store through the app store icon on the home screen. If I select "Charts" it comes up but "Featured" and frequently "Updates" just leads to the "Cannot connect to iTunes store" message.
Very frustrating. Any ideas?

Don't know if this has any bearing on the conversation at hand, but I ran into this issue last night. Started when I couldn't purchase anything via Comixology. Which caused a lot of swearing.

TS1368 I cannot connect to iTunes store using iTunes. 'Secure link to iTunes store failed'. Please help!

I cannot connect to iTunes store using iTunes. I have version 11.0.2.26 on Win 7 pc. I have had no problems until recently. Can't say exactly the problem began as I don't normally use my computer to access the store but my last successful access according to iTunes diagnostics was 28th Feb 2013 (if thats useful?!)
I've run the Network Connectivity Test in iTunes diagnostics and I got the following results:
- Network interfaces verified.
-Internet connection verified.
-Secure link to iTunes failed.
When I click the help button next to the 'Secure link to iTunes failed' message I get the following:
''iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn't connected to the internet.'
My pc is connected to the internet. I've checked firewalls. Windows firewall is off. I'm running AVG internet security 2013. Iv've checked the firewall settings on that and iTunes is not being blocked.
Getting kinda frustrated. Can anybody help please???

I seem to have tracked down the problem. AVG Family Safety software was causing the issue somehow. I have uninstalled it and iTunes now working. I will contact AVG for a solution as I now have no way of blocking certain sites.

TS1368 Have followed all instructions - but still cannot connect to itunes

I dont know what to do - I have done everything in all of the instructions on how to connect to itunes....but to no avail. This is arecent problem. It just started happening to me - on my Mac Pro.
I have spoken to Comcast, I have rest my Network, I have deleted files, I have updated to the latest version, reset my password, and several other things. I am not sure why Apple doesnt want me to connect.
Seems like I am asked to update itunes every week but they cannot figure out how to connect me to the itunes store. Sigh.
I support Apple - but I am happy to start to buy music on Amazon.com if Apple cannot figure this one out. Seems like miloipns of others have this same problem and nothing happens.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
