YouTube and iTunes WiFi Store useless at College

I love my new iPod Touch. Everything about it is great. Though I do wish it had some of the features of the iPhone. However, I have noticed that the YouTube and iTunes store don't work while I'm at college. Safari works fine. I'm assuming this has to deal with the fact that you need a VPN installed in order to access certain areas of the internet at my school. That's fine and dandy if I have my Macbook with me, but with the Touch it's impossible. I can't download the software! I think Apple should make it possible for me to use this feature so I can enjoy my new iPod to it's fullest no matter where I am. I would really love to show off the YouTube features to all my buddies at school..and it would give me something to do between classes.

Even if Apple did make this possible on some types of VPNs, it would be near impossible for Apple to make a fix for every one. Besides the VPN, I could also make a guess that port blocking is enabled on your school's wifi, so that may also prevent you from using them (not sure if they just travel over port 80/443). I know for a fact my school blocks anything that isn't 80 or 443, which really ***** when I'm sitting there and want to FTP something to my site and can't connect.

  • Serious problem with AppStore/iTunes WiFi Store. Cannot connect

    Hi
    I has a serious problem with my iPod Touch: When I tries to open App Store on my iTouch, I usually gets this message: *"Cannot connect to iTunes Store"*, often followed by *"Cannot retrieve download information. Please connect with iTunes."*. iTunes on my MacBook seems to work just fine.
    I might also be able to use the AppStore for a minute or so, and then the problems are coming back. All other internet-enabled apps is working fine, except the iTunes WiFi Store who's having the same problems as AppStore.
    What should I do?

    That would be a wonderful suggestion if my computer could connect to iTunes. Since about July my computer keeps giving me error 11222. I've tried everything on the support discussion board, but they haven't solved the problem either, and my software is up to date. Today instead of giving me the error, it's just been sitting for hours saying "Accessing iTunes Store". I was really hoping that I could just use the wifi on the iPod to access the iTunes and AppStore. Any other suggestions until iTunes gets fixed on my computer? Thanks for your help - Lex

  • IPhone will not connect to iTunes WiFi Store

    I have purchased and downloaded onto my iPhone one album from the iTunes WiFi Store. Since then, I have been unable to connect to the iTunes WiFi store again. When I click on the "iTunes" icon on my phone, all I get is "Loading..." with the never-ending circle of death. But it never loads. Anybody else have this problem? Anybody know why I cannot connect?

    I just had an interesting experience. I kept trying to buy a song from the David Crowder Band called Everything Glorious. The purchase would go though and it would tell me that it was going to be an iTunes Plus (or something like that) song (Higher Quality) I assume. It would begin to download and then stop.
    After about 20 tried of different songs on that album I just tried another song by another artist. Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer and it worked fine as well as "Jesus take the Wheel" by Carrie Underwood. I went back and tried Everything Glorious by David Crowder band and it still didn't work.
    I wonder if the problem is with downloading iTunes Plug songs?

  • HT4623 I updated to the latest iOS and now YouTube and the Ap store are no longer on my phone. Also, not all my music will play and if I play a song it will actually play a different song while displaying the one I chose. Any ideas how to fix this?

  • Ipod touch stuck on "purchasing" on Itunes wifi store

    Ipod touch, all set up with itunes, computer authorised, songs purchased on computer and transfered to ipod touch ok...wifi works ok, able to browse and u-tube etc.
    trying to purchase songs on the wifi store on the ipod touch, can see the UK price, hit buy now, get asked for password, enter that, song goes into "downloads"...1 in a red circle beside the icon...hit the icon and the song is there but the progress bar sits with no progress and underneath it says "purchasing". Never moves. Doesnt matter if the ipod is restarted, connected to the computer or not. The only time it said anything different was when we synced a song (ipod is set to not sync, we prefer manual management of music) it once said "waiting" instead of "purchasing"...but never progressed.
    Tried changing DNS settings, just in case. Also tried a wrong password, and it did the same thing...so it seems to be a catch at the authorisation stage. Tried upper and lower case using the shift key lit or unlit (pw is lower case) but no change.
    Everything works perfectly except the ability to actually get the music down direct over wifi...
    ideas?
    Thanks.

    I had this problem... Just a minute ago. The exact same.
    I noticed that on the album preview page... it had iTunes Plus. I thought that it must be a warning of iPod incompatible content, so I tried to purchase the album on my computer... and i was given a T&C screen, I accepted the T&C screen and it said "Try and download the files again" so I tried on my iPod again... and it worked.
    It was because iTunes Plus has its own T&Cs that you need to accept them to download the song/album. Hope it works for you like it did me!

  • Safari and itunes app store have mysteriously unistalled - how do i reinstall

    My Safari app and iTunes Store app have mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone 5 - how do I reinstall them?
    TIA

    They cannot be deleted at all.
    They are likely on another page, in a  folder, or you have restrictions set.

  • Cannot purchase from iTunes wifi store

    I have downloaded & installed the 1.1.1 update and attempted to purchase and download some music. However, when I clicked on "Buy Now", I was informed that no account information could be found, and I should connect to iTunes to establish an account. The odd thing is... I DO have an account, and connecting to iTunes confirmed that fact. I accessed my account while connected, then tried to purchase music again using my iPhone -- still no joy.
    Does anyone know how I can get this feature to work correctly?
    Rick A.

    On your computer, go to the iTunes Music Store, click on your account email address in the upper right hand part of the screen, and click Sign Out.
    Quit iTunes, reopen iTunes, go into the Store again, and log in with your account info.
    Then sync your iPhone.
    According to Apple's documentation, it transfers the account info to your iPhone from the last time you logged into the Music Store. Hopefully, doing the above will "remind" your computer about your account info so that it will be synced to your iPhone.
    Please post if this works or not.

  • AOL and iTunes Music Store Question

    I have never been able to connect to the iTunes Music Store and I have tried everything on here multiple times. I also have AOL and I was wondering if AOL has any firewall settings that may be blocking me using the music store. Any help would be GREATLY Appreciated.

    I don't know about AOL firewall settings, but I'm pretty sure I've seen some posts about them having a software accelerator that blocks iTMS.

  • FYI!  Intego NetBarrier X5 and iTunes App Store Issues

    I discovered last night (while attempting to download the iPhone 3.0 update) that my 3rd party firewall, Intego's NetBarrier X5, is preventing App Store application and iPhone software updates.
    Back in early March, I upgraded NetBarrier from X4 to X5, importing my settings from the old version into the new. From that point on, I have been unable to update my iPhone applications from within iTunes; I was caught in an endless loop of being asked to log into the App Store, and being denied access (almost as if my credentials weren't making it to Apple's servers). The weird part was, I had no problem downloading music, movies, etc. from the iTunes Store; this issue only affected App Store downloads/updates.
    I do not know if this is a problem with Intego or an Apple. I'm inclined to believe that something changed within iTunes 8; a change to the ports used to access the App Store, as opposed to the regular iTunes Store. I say this because, when I turned off NetBarrier completely, I was finally able to access/download my application updates after months of not being able to. As soon as I turned it back on, I got caught up in that endless login loop again. This is definately an issue.
    I post this information in the hope that it will resolve similar issues for others. iTunes Support, when contacted numerous times, was completely useless.
    It appears that I'm going to have to configure my firewall to allow ALL iTunes traffic to pass. Can someone please tell me where I can find a comprehensive list of ports that must be open for iTunes to function properly? I would greatly appreciate it.

    Hello Everyone,
    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, and re-installing X5 (10.5.4), it looks like I may have identified the cause of this issue.
    It appears that, within X5, if you select the "+Hide my Apple ID when using iTunes MiniStore+" option (Overview --> Privacy --> Data --> Surf), it jacks-up connections to iTunes Store App/iPhone OS Updates.
    For now, I have de-selected this option, and everything seems to be functioning as it should.
    I cannot believe that something as stupid as this has caused me (and countless others) so many months of aggravation. I will be reporting this as a defect to Intego later today.
    Hope this information helps.
    Kerry

  • When I am using FaceTime, volume on youtube and iTunes is muted.

    Facetime mutes volume from other applications, notably iTunes and YouTube in Safari. (Maverick)

    I found that these steps helped me to hear other volume sources better on my macbook:
    - Once on factetime Go to the "Facetime" option (top left) then clicking "Services" then "Services Preference"
    -Next search "sound volume" in the search option
    -Once there you can control the volume under the "output volme" to your liking
    Hope this helped!

  • Mavericks won't install and iTunes/App Store always quit unexpectedly.

    Let me start by saying that I am not very computer-savvy. That being said, I don't mess with my computer very much so I feel like this should be an easy fix.
    The problem started a few days ago when my macbook froze and then shut down. When I booted it back up, I noticed that iTunes wouldn't open. The icon would just bounce for a while and then I would get the message that iTunes had quit unexpectedly. I figured that updating my OS to Maverick would possibly solve the problem. I downloaded Mavericks, but when my computer rebooted and Mavericks began installing, it stopped after two minutes and simply said that it could not complete installation and that I should try restarting my computer. So I did. And the same thing happened again and again. Eventually i chose the old startup disk and gave up. But now the app store is doing the same thing as iTunes. I tried a disk repair and I tried to repair disk permissions but neither helped. I have a lot of music in my iTunes library so I'd rather not uninstall/reinstall iTunes.
    Any help on either front would be wonderful!!
    Thank you!

    update: I reinstalled iTunes and it's working now

  • ITunes WiFi Store Purchases Won't Sync

    I bought music with my iPod touch and attempted to sync the music to my iTunes on the Mac. Nothing got tranferred. I tried "Store->Check for Purchase". Nothing. The song is under the "Downloads->Purchased" on my iPod touch. My expectation was to see it back on the Mac under iTunes. The purchase shows under my iTunes Account information. I do manually manage songs on the iPod.
    Thanks
    iPod touch 16GB. Macbook Pro running 10.4.10, iTunes 7.4.2.

    If you are using your iPod in manual sync mode (not automatic), then you need to tell the iPod to sync the tracks back to iTunes.
    To do this right click on the iPod in the iTunes sources list on the left side of iTunes and select the 'Transfer Purchases to iTunes' option.
