Can not connect to istore

I get the same message. I have done everything I can find on all the message boards, but nothing seems to work. I also run a diagnostics check and it states, that all connections are fine. It is wierd that this just happened after downloading the new iTunes, everything worked fine before then. Any suggestions?

hey you guys!
Its the same thing with me. I downloaded the new version and now I can't get the store and get a 11333 error. It is so aggravating. And others say they have had the problems for months. I will be watching for any solutions I can find. But please someone please help us all.

have the same problem (no connection to istore), but I solved it. The problem was in my case a wrong proxy-configuration. What can you do?

1. Go to Start at windows.
2. Go to the control panel
3. Click "Internet options"
4. Choose connections
5. Click at "settings" or "LAN-settings"
6. Deactivate the Proxyserver.
7. Restart iTunes

thanks ProSniper

tried that but it didn't work for me.

Thanks Again

jackiespry,

Can I see your network diagnostic results? iTunes Help menu -> Run Diagnostics. Select Network Diagnostics. Select Next. Copy / paste the text into a reply here.

I have the exact same problem. Have tried everything in this message and on the support site to no avail. Here are the results of diagnostics. Everything checks out green except connection to Applie iTunes store.

I got the same error with what sounds like the same scenario. I was prompted to upgrade to iTunes 7.4.3. I performed the upgrade, then I can no longer connect to the iTunes store or download podcasts. My internet connection is otherwise fine and nothing else has changed on my pc. Ran the diagnostic and got...

green lights for the first 2 sections, yellow for the iTunes portion. Any ideas?

I have had the same problem for over a week, since upgrading to 7.4.2.4
My internet connection is fine.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

I'm new to iTunes...and my computer won't connect at all. I went through all the troubleshooting and can't find anything that would work. I did as you all did and ran a diagnostics check and all appears to work fine:

But for some stupid reason, it still won't connect.

Anybody computer saavy enough to help?

Thanks much!

I'm having the exact same problems: downloaded newest version of iTunes and now can only get on the store sporadically and am completely unable to buy anything there. My diagnostics say what everyone else's says.

For as many threads as there are on this topic, you'd think someone from Apple would notice nobody is buying any songs!

A little help would be much appreciated.

i got the same thing and at first i thought it was viruses but i did all of the backgroud cheks and nothing helped. however i had this problem before i downloaded the new version of Itunes. my brother hasnt downloaded the new version and he can go on the store but when he tries to download something, it sais theres an error and he just looses his money.

You might want to try to downgrade itunes. I too, am receiving this same problem and I'm sure not going to stop until I figure it out.

I also can't connect to iTunes Store. I don't know when I last performed an update to iTunes, but I'm sure it was last week. I get error code 11333.

Ooooooh, ProSniper, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU!!! I have had this expensive piece of Apple hardware since Christmas last year and have NEVER been able to get in to iTunes. NEVER! My experience with this has certainly not endeared MACintosh to me. Your change to the connections "LAN-settings" got me in. Oooooo, podcasts here I come. Here's hoping I can download.

I downgraded to 7.3.1.3 and no luck with resolving the issue. Still waiting for other ideas although I assume this is more likely something on the back end.
