Why can't I connect to itunes store from my imac?

Can someone help me with staying connected to itunes store? I have a 2 year old imac, updated frequently, and over the past two months I can't connect to itunes store very easily. I get the "network connection was lost. There was an error in the itunes store.Please try again later."
I'll get this several times in a row, then it'll work once in a while. I'm getting the spinning rainbow circle of death more often also and have to force quit itunes. Downloading is usually incredibly slow if it works too. Didn't used to have any trouble. Could have come after one of the recent itunes updates?

I'm having the exact same problem.  Itunes worked perfectly until I did the upgrade. (I guess that's why the old saying always holds true, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" ) I've deleted itunes and reloaded several times and it's always the same issue. Even took down my firewall and virus protection to do the reload with no luck.  I also found an older version of itunes and tried to load that one with no luck.
Some computer Guru please help us!
Thanks!

    Why can't I connect to Itunes store, after updating mt Ipad to Os 6?

    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.

    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.

  • Why can't I connect to iTunes store on my computer?

    I can't connect to iTunes store or ping. When I click iTunes Store it starts loading then stops halfway.
    Is there any thing that can make this happen? like another program or something?

  • Why can I not connect to itunes store? Im trying to buy gems on clash of clans and it says purchased failed

    Im getting frustrated it makes no sense my card is fine i just used it about 20 mins ago

    What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we are fellow users on these forums, we won't know why you are getting the message) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If it's a different problem ... ?

  • TS1717 Why Can't I Connect to itunes Store on a Second Computer?

    I set up my itunes account on a computer in Florida which uses Windows Vista.  Everything works fine and I am able to sync songs to my ipod shuffle.  However, when I came home to Wisconsin and tried to use my account here, I had trouble.  This computer uses Windows 7.  I was able to download itunes but can't connect to the store.  I went to the store menu and clicked on "authorize a computer".  I then signed in but was unable to connect to the itunes store.  I clicked on itunes store help, but no help menu showed up.  What can be the problem here?

    I then signed in but was unable to connect to the itunes store.  I clicked on itunes store help, but no help menu showed up. 
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • Why can't i acess the itunes store from my itunes?

    Someone please give me the answer!!!!

    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:

  • Why can't I connect to iTunes Store on my iPad or iPhone?

    I can't seem to connect to the I tunes store to make an app purchase...please help!

    Apple's servers may be being hammered by people continually checking for the new iOS 7 to be released. I'd expect to see more issues once the update is rolled out. In the meantime try:
    Logout of your account, then log back in.
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally

  • Can no longer connect to iTune store - "server is down" message

    Suddenly I can no longer connect to iTune Store via my AppleTV
    What should I do? Many thanks

    Wait for the server to come back.  If the server is down, then there is nothing you can do about it, and you must wait for apple to get the server back up and running.

    why can't i connect to itunes after downloading ios6 software

    Try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    you need iTunes version 10.7. If a Mac instead see:

  • HT201991 Why can't I see my iTunes Store reviews?  Are the artists having reviews moderated?  It's been a week...

    Why can't I see my iTunes Store reviews?  Are the artists having reviews moderated?  It's been a week after writing a review on a few albums I purchased.  I can see the reviews I've left when I view the settings in my iTunes account.  The problem I'm having is that my vanity requires me knowing if people find my reviews to be helpful or useful - I actually put effort into some of my reviews.  It would be nice to see feedback on the more critical reviews rather than seeing nothing but cult-followers of various artists leaving carpet-bomb 5-star reviews.  It kinda diminishes the quality and legitimacy of iTune's recommendations as well as how they sort popular artists.
