Hi folks,
I am also getting this iTunes error 8001 and I don't have a clue how to solve it. I tried to login in the US-Store with my account and a friend tried it with his Austrian account in the Austrian iTunes store => also no luck with the login.
Please iTunes Support Team solve this error, can't be too hard

Same issue here. Started right after the latest itunes update. Can't sign in to itunes store on my macbook or my iphone. Haven't tried the mac mini yet but am sure I won't be able to there either. Yes, Apple, I'm beginning to lose my faith in you guys. I think I liked ya better when you weren't popular.

Absolute man I am feeling you. When Apple was not that popular, the service and support was better. Much better!
Come on Support Team, when the stupid iTunes Server mucks up then do something!!

Well the error I received now has changed from (8001) to -(4)

It starts to be annoying. I have written an e-mail to iTunes support but no answer yet. Strange that it should take so long time to find what the h... is going on.

I ran a registry cleaner and it didn't fix it, could've been because it wasn't the same cleaner you used though...different ones find different things.

All I did was logout of my iTunes store account, then log back in, and purchases worked for me.

Hope this helps someone. : )
