I am unable to connect to i tunes store. It requests that I connect to the internet and try again. error message - 54. I have a macbook air.
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 > Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) - includes list of iTunes error codes
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
First, try simply restarting your computer.
iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814 -
I know alot of people got this error message while trying to download app. Any solution yet?
Most often a connection error. Since you are (I assume) seeing this on your iPad, the solution that often solves this is to reboot your iPad. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. Once back up, try again and see if there is still an issue.

Cannot connect to iTunes store - error messages in Win XP event log
I've been reading the posts and trying to connect to the iTunes store unsuccessfully for at least a week since installing the latest iTunes 9 update.
I've tried every suggestion I have found without success including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I also used MSCONFIG to do a selective startup without services and then started iTunes, no luck with that.
I just went to Administrative Tools->Event View to look for clues.
Every day since March 31, 2010 there are multiple error messages for Bonjour Service. Probably one error for every time I tried to go to the iTunes store.
All of the Bonjour error messages are the same.
The error message follows:
ERROR: read_msg errno 10054 (An exsisting connection was forcibly closed by the remote host)
I can see my store account information, but when I click DONE the process hangs.
When I click on iTunes Store, the status bar goes about half way and hangs. No error messages.
When I run iTunes network connectivity tests the results show a "Secure link to iTunes Store verified"
Any help would be appreciated.Update to my original post
Still cannot see the iTunes store. Here is a list of what I have tried so far in addition to what I mentioned in the original post:
Changed parental controls to only allow access to iTunes U - cannot see iTunes U
Changed parental controls back to allow all access - cannot see the store
Updated my network driver - no change
Investigated the Error code 10054 on the internet for a solution.
Found this posting:
http://www.sqlservermart.com/resources/SynAttackProtect.aspx
Changed the registry as they recommended to include:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\SycAttackProtect{DWOR D} = 0
Rebooted and no change.
iTunes network diagnositcs indicates I am able to connect to the store, but the status bar still hangs up about 1/2 way into the attempt to connect.

Cant connect to itunes store error message 9880
Had thos problem before, but it's a security fix, just can't remember what to do.
Try this,
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.
After restart, if you get a prompt to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now. -
I have previously downloaded a few apps, including an iBook, however now when I try, it comes up with error message, unable to connect to iTunes store...how can I start downloading again...
Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors
http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/best-fixes-for-cannot-connect-to-itunes- store-errors/
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.

Receive the message "unable to connect to itunes store" when trying to install updates for my apps
trying to install updates available for a number of app on my phon and keep getting the same message "unable to connect to itunes store"............
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

"Unable to connect to iTunes Store" 90% of the time
I have a 3rd Gen iPad with wifi only that I bought about 40 days ago. Initially I had no problem downloading and updating apps but in the past few weeks I get "unable to connect to iTunes Store" over 90% of the time. I always verfity the Internet connection is good and I've tried on my home wifi, my cellphone's mobile hotspot, and several hotel wifi connections. The other day I went into settings and noticed the Security code for my Credit Card was blank so I filled it in and clicked "done". Unable to connect so I checked back and the code was still blank. I deleted and redid my CC info and messed with some other settings and iTunes finally let me update some apps. Now I'm back home and it's giving me the error message again. I'm wondering if this is a known issue or if there's a fix for it.
Usually it's because you are not connecting to the internet via wifi.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I've tried restarting and resetting my iPad but still am unable to download an app. The message is "cannot connect to iTunes Store". Can anyone help?
Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Unable to Connect to iTunes Store for Apple TV Purchases
For the past 2 days I have been unable to make purchases from the iTunes store with Apple TV. I get the message "Unable to connect to iTunes Store. Temporarily unavailable. Try again later." Despite this message, I have a valid internet connection and I can still connect to the iTunes store to preview movies and TV shows content with my Apple TV. I just cannot make any purchases. My Apple TV software is currently up to date and I have valid credit in my iTunes account.
Apple support have suggested that I contact their support community to see if anyone can help me resolve this problem.Also having issue, it is ridiculous. Kinda defeats the purpose of having TV if you can't stream any content from iTunes since the change to no hard drive. Come on Apple, I think your better than this.
I have read on a couple forums that they suspect Family Share as the issue, does everyone have Family Share on? I for one do. -
2 out of 5 user one PC unable to connect to itune store
2 out of 5 user one PC unable to connect to itune store, using vista. I remove and reistall itunes, I am able to access the internet through browser, but not through itunes, firewall is turnoff. What else can I try?
The "..at this time" message" sometimes appears when an atypical home folder (eg. one on a network share) isn't available for some reason. I don't use "Filevault", but that might qualify as atypical, since the home of a "Filevault" account actually resides on a disk image.
Since you were able to attach and mount the ".sparseimage", it would appear that at least your ".sparseimage" is not corrupt, so the most dreaded reason for being unable to log in to a "filevault" account fortunately doesn't apply. Before attempting to troubleshoot this issue, just make sure that you are able to "mount" your backup copy to make sure it transferred successfully.
I'm guessing but it could be that by attempting to change the account password using the disk, the repair tech created a situation where the "account password" does not match the ".sparseimage" password. The two must be in agreement for login to proceed smoothly, and this is why the "Accounts" pref pane will not let you change a "Filevault" account password unless you are actually logged in to that account. By using the disk, the tech bypassed this safeguard. The first thing to do would be to try to reset your "account password" - there are other ways to do this, one of which is to boot the computer from the installer disk to use the "Reset Password" function.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156
Make sure to set it to exactly what it was before - ie. identical to the password that is known to have unlocked the ".sparseimage" file. Then reboot and see if you can log in with that password. If not, log in to any other account, open "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and post the output of this command, substituting the appropriate username:<pre>nicl . -read /users/username</pre> -
HT1904 unable to connect to itunes store
I have been unable to download apps on my IPad. It gives me an error UNABLE TO CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE. Is anyone else getting this error and if so how can I fix it????
Been getting it off and on the last week or so on my iPhone. Right now, in fact. Usually I shut the app down, then re-start it and it works. Not this time though. Can't get it working no matter what.

Downloaded latest IOS 7.0.2 and it crashed my iphone 4. Now Ive got nothing and it wont restore when connected with Itunes cos Error Message 4005 comes up. Cant find it listed anywhere. Help
Hi!
It looks like there might be some security settings or software on your laptop that's preventing the restore process from working.
Check out this article in Apple's support. It shows you the steps you can take to try to get around error 1611.
Like diesel vdub said, a DFU-mode restore might give you success where a regular restore might not, so maybe you can try that.
What you need to do is put your phone into DFU mode, which is a low-level mode that helps the restore process get a little more done, or it can help iTunes get around certain roadblocks (hopefully like the one you're experiencing!). Your computer will install special DFU-iPhone drivers for it, and then iTunes will see it as a phone that needs restoring.
To get your phone into DFU mode:
Plug your phone into your laptop.
Turn the phone off.
Press and hold the power/lock button. Keep it held in, even after the display turns on and you see something on the screen. As soon as you see something on the screen, start holding the home button as well as the power button, so that they're being pressed together.
Keep both buttons pressed down for 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds, release the power button, but keep holding home until the laptop sees a new USB device. Once you see that, you're in DFU mode, and you can let go of buttons. Your iPhone screen will be blank during it all, even though it's actually on, in DFU mode.
Now your restore should work!
If your phone shows the Apple logo or anything else while you're trying to get it into DFU mode, then something went wrong. Try the steps again. If it suddenly starts up normally again, try reducing the time to a bit less than 10 seconds--try reducing it by about a second at a time. It should work! -
