iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store -I've tried everything

I cannot connect to the iTunes store to update my iPhone apps or firmware. I've been trying for two days, and need help. I personally think, given how many people have been posting over the past day or so, that it is an Apple issue. If it is, JUST LET US KNOW so we don't keep mucking around with it. I have much better things to do with my time than this. I've already ditched iTunes on my other computer for MediaMonkey, but I still need iTunes to update my friggin' iPhone.

I've disabled Windows firewall.

I've made sure my Internet Options are set to 'Use SSL 3.0' and 'Use TLS 1.0', and 'Check for server certificate revocation' is UNchecked.

I'm not connecting via proxy.

I'm fully connected to the internet in every other way, but have rebooted my modem and router (multiple times) just to make sure. I'm even, obviously, connecting to the Apple website.

I've disabled all antivirus programs, and am not running any pop-up blockers.

I've cleared my DNS cache using ipconfig /flushdns (again, multiple times).


So, are there any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
