Updated to iTunes 7.6 and now i can't connect to the store

I getting an error message saying it timed out. This happened when i first downloaded iTunes 7.5 on my new Vista running computer a month ago but i fixed it by going into Norton and putting iTunes to allow. I went to go do the same thign because maybe it reset but it is still on allow. Can someone please help me.

I posted this in another thread, but read the bottom paragraph.....Even though Norton says allow for iTunes, my was still blocked as well. It's running fine now though since I've cleared out the programs list and rules tab and started over. Norton sets a no TCP rule I couldn't figure out so I cleared them all out.
I disabled only the personal firewall in Norton Internet Security and it connected straight away. When I found out this worked, I tried just allowing the four apple programs the personal firewall monitors and no joy. I will find which program is being blocked, but disabling the entire personal fire wall will work.
BTW, in my case I was getting the connection timed out but the iTunes diagnostics said the connection was fine but never connected to the store successfully
Some how Norton Internet Security set itself to block outbound TCP connections during the upgrade, even though iTunes was still set to allow all connections in and out. I couldn't figure out which rule to change. To get the firewall running again, I had to use the reset botton (in Norton Internet Security) to clear out all the rules and programs and then manually add iTunes with allow all privileges to the program list. CAUTION: until Norton repopulates privileges for other programs, you may need to add them manually.....this includes Internet Explorer or any other browser you may use.

  • I updated to iTunes 10.5 and now I can't connect to iTunes store

    I updated to iTunes 10.5 and now I can't connect to the iTunes store.   Anybody else having this problem?

    I made some progress. The problem is thatiTunes is looking for a  certain LSP (Layered Serviice Provider). Some antivirus software (PCTools in my case, wants another one.
    1) Disable andy spyware
    2) run command "netsh winsock reset" and reboot.
    3) Voila it works.
    I don't know all the consequences of this change but somebody is going to need their products' code.
    Be careful, I know this works for me, but your mileage may vary.

  • I put the BT WiFi app on my iPad Mini and now I can't connect to the internet.  Please help

    I put the Bt WiFi app on my iPad Mini  and now I can't connect to the internet.  Please Help

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Upgrade ip5 to ios6.0.2 and now I can't connect to the network (was fine with 6.0.1).

    I just upgraded my ip5 to ios6.0.2 and now I can't connect to the network (was fine with 6.0.1). I bought the phone  online in Canada but have a Hong Kong simcard. Any solution to connect to network?

    I bought mine in the US and activated using a German SIM.  It worked fine first on 6.0.1.  After upgrading to 6.0.2 the SIM does not work.  I have reset the reset the phone and still does not work. I loaded a new SIM and the phone worked for few minutes before going to Searching mode after I restarted the device.  I am being told by the Genius Bar team that this is a Hardware failure.

  • Updated to iTunes 11.1.1 and now I can't purchase from the store

    After updating to iTunes 11.1.1 I tried to purchase a music album and got a message that, since this is the first time I've tried to purchase from this computer, I need to answer security questions.  It is NOT the first time, this is my desktop from which I make all my purchases and to which I sync my iPhone, iPad and iPod, but I figured I'd just go along and get to my purchase in short order. I answered the questions, and it rejected my answers. I tried again, same thing, except now it said I was going to be locked out of my account if I answered wrong again.
    I signed out of my account and signed in again and the same thing keeps happening.
    I was already signed in, and I have money sitting in my account waiting to be spent.  All I want is to continue purchasing and enjoying music and apps. Please tell me what happened when I upgraded iTunes that has me unable to use the store.

    Issue is resolved.  I completely quit iTunes, then opened the app and answered the questions and it let me in and allowed me to complete my purchase.  I guess not completely quitting and re-entering after the upgrade caused the glitch.

  • I've just reset my iPhone 4 and now I can not connect to App Store and iTunes store?? My wifi connection is fine and all the things I have been told to do is fine... HELP

    Hi Rhiannon.A,
    Try to reset all setting on your phone and see. If issues still persist try to back up your phone using iTunes and restore it using computer.

  • I run XP64 and itunes 8 works fine but now I can't connect to the store unless I d/load iTunes 10 which won't run on XP64. Help

    Everytime I try to access the store I'm asked if I want to download iTunes 10 which I don't because it wont run on my OS and I can't decline the offer so I can't get into the store

    iTunes has never supported XP64 bit.
    However iTunes itself is a 32 bit program that will run on XP64 if you can get it installed. however this requires some hacking. Here are some links, you may be able to find others.

  • I just updated to IOS 8.2 and now I can't connect to any WIFI network at home or elsewhere. I get a message that says "can't scan for WIFI" and it just keeps searching. How do I fix this?

    Can someone tell me how to fix this problem before I use up all my data?

    If you can't connect to home wi fi, or any wi fi, go into the RESET area of your SETTINGS and choose RESET NETWORK CONNECTIONS. Turn the phone off and back on and you should be okay. It may take more than one try. Good luck.

  • I upgraded to 4RC and now I can't connect to the internet at all.

    I deleted Firefox, and now even with IE, it won't connect. With Firefox, it was saying something about the proxy settings, now with IE, it says the remote device or resource won't accept the connection. Please help!!

    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

  • I updated to firefox 8 last night - now I can't connect to the internet using firefox at all!

    I had trouble installing the new version of firefox yesterday, too... I had to go to the webpage and do a manual install. Today I tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it, but that didn't fix the problem.
    My internet connection shows full bars and works just fine with IE, so this is definitely a Firefox-specific issue.
    i had to resort to ie just to report this problem. what's up, firefox? i've never any trouble and have been using your browser for 5+ years.

    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.

  • Moved my laptop and now I can't connect to the router

    I'm a novice at this - but that didn't stop me from setting up a wireless network  - it was very easy, everything went fine and was working great for months.  I took the laptop out of the house and used it at another location.  When I brought the laptop home again it asked for a password - which do I use the passphrase or Key 1?  Should I expect this to happen everytime I mobilize the laptop?  My router is WRT54G.  Thanks!

    Connect to your router with a cable and name your network different. "linksys" is the default network name of a Linksys wireless router. Anyone you buys a Linksys router and just plugs it without changing it ends up with it. Maybe another neighbor bought a Linksys router as well. Thus, always rename the network name to something unique so that you can be sure that you connect to your network and not to somebody else's. Because the problem is: when your computer searches for wireless networks it only checks the name of the network. It does not show whether there is only one access point with that name or several. It could be a roaming network where several access points must have the same name or it could be just accident like several people running routers with the default name. Therefore: connect to your router with a cable, open http://192.168.1.1/ and reconfigure the wireless network name (SSID) on the wireless tab to something else. Connect to that network...
