thx Rodfromnewark!

You sir, are a god.

Thank you

This worked for me, after talking to an AppleCare expert: (and don't do steps out of order!)

None of this has worked for me. Removing and reinstalling worked, but the problem came back less than a week later.

This solution thread fixed my problem easily and simply with instructions even I could follow: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15993286#15993286 .

If that doesn't work, this solution thread has suggestions: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3275295?start=0&tstart=0

Thank you Rod for taking the time to help the little people, the uninformed. After many hours of chasing dead end solutions. yours worked. And I kind of thought it might because it was the most computer savvy sounding advice. (I mean, really, check the "parental control"? Geez!) 

Anyway, again, many thanks.

i feel i had to post here to not only thank Rodfromnewark but to say this fix also fixed my Safari browser.  I had uninstalled safari about a week ago as i could not get it working and decided to give up on it.  then today i tried to access the Itunes store for the first time in two months.  low and behold i got the hanging problem and found this thread.  i fixed Itunes and then thought Hmm i wonder if it has now fixed a very similar issue in safari, and yes the good news is both now work

thanks all and praise be to Rodfromnewark!

Thanks for the advice!  Worked for me!

If the netsh reset doesn't work try Microsoft Fix it 50203

Good luck!

Rodfromnewark....is there another password to use instead of netsh winsock reset?  I am getting an invalid password message. I uninstalled all apple stuff. Tried to do the command prompt, but the password wouldn't work. I just re-downloaded itunes and I am still getting the half load for the store!  Oy can yiu help please?

Try Microsoft Fix it 50203 as I outlined earlier

*sigh* Thank you!  This worked!

I am also having the same problem as soon as i upgraded to the latest itunes version so it must be a fault in that as it worked fine before hand. its driving me nuts cause i have tried as many things as i can, googled the **** out of it and still no luck! what a pain in  the a$$

Thanks RodFromNewark! That worked after months of not being able to access the iTunes Store on my XP PC. I had previously uninstalled & reinstalled several times to no avail.
