What do Safari, iTunes store, and Apple Hot News RSS have in common?
Answer...these apps can't connect to the internet on my setup, but Firefox & Mail can. Any clues?
I am running an older Airport Extreme, but my internet connection is fine. I suspect there's a network setting somewhere that is blocking these three different apps from connecting.
iTunes - "The network connection was refused"
Safari - "Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because it could not connect to the server “www.google.com”.
Apple Hot News RSS in Mail - "can't connect to host"
Any ideas?
Look to make sure there's no http or https proxy set in your Network Preferences pane.

Why is apple showing p0rnography on itunes store and ibooks even if we have explicit content blocked?! I am very unhappy about this. Especially being that it is plastered on the front page of itunes music store right now. (I am referencing S#X playlist by Omarion).

Can I stop Apple Hot News RSS feeds?
Hi
Can I unsubscribe from the Apple Hot News RSS feeds? I don't read them and really don't know how I signed up for them in the first place! If someone could tell me how to stop them appearing in my inbox that would be great.
Many thanksI am fairly certain you can do this by simply deleting the feed. You can "right click" on the feed and select delete. That should do it.
I also stumbled upon a listing in the Preferences. You go to Rules. (Click the arrows pointing to the right.) and there is a listing for Apple News. I don't know what that is but it looks like it can be deleted if you need to. I hesitate to delete something if I don't know what it does.
BTW - Let me just say I am a new Mac user so don't take what I say as gospel. -
does anyone know how to stop an rss feed from going to mailbox - in particular, apple hot news?

I attempted this method, but I couldn't find "delete feed." By "highlight feed" do you mean the unwanted Apple email msg. or something else?
Click once on the "Apple Hot News" RSS feed name that is listed under your Inbox to highlight the feed name. You may need to click on the disclosure triangle next to "Inbox" to see the feed name inside it.
Then Control-click (or right-click) on "Apple Hot News" and you should see a contextual menu with several options, including "Delete Feed" (selected in the screenshot below) and "Show in Inbox" (circled in red in my screenshot):
You can delete the feed entirely from Mail by clicking the "Delete Feed" option, or you can have the feed not show up in your inbox by unchecking the "Show in Inbox" option in the menu.
You can also get the "Delete Feed" option by clicking once on "Apple Hot News" to highlight it and then clicking on the Mailbox menu in the menubar at the top of the screen: -
How do I discontinue receiving Apple Hot News - RSS emails?
I am being bombarded with Apple Hot News emails in my mail application that I would rather not receive. Mail has created some kind of RSS folder that they are delivered to.
How do I turn this off?

App store, safari, itunes store, and icloud not working osx 10.8
Hey,
I have a retina macbook pro 13" that i bought in january. It has been running perfectly fine until a few days ago the itunes store wouldnt load at all, no matter how long i let it load, only the 'Itunes Store" splashback page showed. I then also realised that the App store had similar problems, only it wasnt loading and returning an 'insecure connection' message. After searching a few forums and trying to solve the issues, it led me to test safari, which is also not working. The loading bar stops about an 8th of the way and doesnt load any further. Also imessages are no longer being pushed from my phone to my computer. This is not an issue with my internet or router, all other internet browsers work perfectly, and the problem persists when i disconnect from my home network and connect to a personal hotspot from my phone. There seems to be quite a bit of talk about this problem, but very little on a solution. i was hoping someone could help me maybe come up with a solution before i restore my macbook or take a trip to the apple store.
Thanks,
PatTry the Combo update from the Apple Support page - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640.
Good luck,

Cannot connect to iTunes store and Apple resolutions do not work
Hi, Just a few weeks ago I was no long able to connect to the iTunes store which I have had no problems with for years. I tried the troubleshooting resolutions that apple suggested and none worked. Can anything help? I have iTune for my iPod Nano, I'm a desktop, Windowx XP SP3 OS and I have the latest version of iTunes and QuickTime because I have uninstalled them both twice now in the hopes that it will fix things. Does anyone have any other suggestions or am I no longer going to be able to use my iPod?
Just a note - I had a similar problem. I had been able to connect to the iTunes store for years without any problem, and then it stopped working in mid-December. I was using iTunes 9 in Windows Vista.
I uninstalled iTunes 9 and installed the newest version of iTunes 10. I tried all of the troubleshooting steps on Apple's support site. Nothing worked.
I found the problem to be my proxy settings. My default browser is Mozilla Firefox, and it was set to not use a proxy. So I thought that I was in the clear. But after running network diagnostics in iTunes (Help -> Run Diagnostics -> Network -> Next), I saw that the proxy settings were not in fact off.
So I opened up Internet Explorer 7 for the first time in years. I went to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connectivity -> LAN Settings -> and disabled proxy.
Now I can connect to the iTunes store. Hope that helps. -
Even when I'm not connected to the internet it pops up with an error that its trying to connect to the store. Its very annoying. I have disabled the store in preferences> parental > checked the box saying Disable: itunes store. No success! Please someone help. :(
Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.) -

The Apple Hot News stories are appearing in my inbox, and it is very anoying.
Is there anyway to keep this from happening?My guess would be that you have the 'Apple hot news' RSS feed set to "open messages in inbox".
To resolve this, scroll down in Mail's sidebar to your RSS feeds, ctrl+click on the 'Apple Hot News' feed, and uncheck 'Show in inbox'. -
What a depressing experience I've had trying to upgrade to Maverick. I have the minimal requirements 10.6.8 Mountaim Lion,.. It is a continuous rerouting from Itunes store to Apple store.
I have not purchased anything from the Apple store in the past and it is not allowing me..upgrade to Maverick
I have even went so far to purchase a credir card hoping I could purchase an item and get an upgrade in return.
I'm in Taiwan and have tried to be faithful to the apple brand ..***?This Apple ID has not yet been used with the App Store. (also will not let me download even free apps.)
Apple ID creation is not currently available on the Mac App Store. says: (go to itunes on your computer or ios device) -
hello please help me in my problem in apple id, i cannot connect to my ipad mini in itune store and app store because they find me a credit card but i dont have credit card. what can i do now? i need an answer for this problem. thank you
I would suggest that you buy a visa or mastercard gift card and put a few dollars on it and use it to access the store. Just add money to it before you want to buy something from the store and it will act like a normal credit card for you.
