Cannot log in into iTunes - error 11556

I cannot log into iTunes, everytime I try I'm getting error 11556.
- I do have the newest version of iTunes
- Parental controls are switched off ánd I'm the administrator of this PC
- the function to share music at home (don't know the English name) doesn't work either
- My internet works perfect: I can visit all websites very fast
- if I click on anything in the iTunes store (doesn't matter what), I get the error that "this" is not available in the Dutch store (though at least something should be available in the Dutch store..)

I have no idea what to do.. hope someone can help me....

PC, Windows Vista, ???

This was for Mac users so not sure if it will help for PCs.

hi, using a reply for another post.. I meant music tab not icon below.. hope it helps..

Please don't update to itunes 10 if your stuff is old like mine. I initially thought it might be the cause of not getting into the store - 10 isn't compatible with Tiger OS. I've only just registered after having a Mac for years. I did use the forums for info years ago. It used to be such a happy place!

Anyhow I got in via - Store pull down menu; Search.. option; artist name (Springsteen or Christine Schäfer); click on artist name on right; then click on genre (rock or classical in these cases). The home house icon and the music icon are still not working and give the 'we could not complete...store is temporarily unavailable' error message when clicked, but the itunes STORE menu on the left does seem to give access to the app store, music videos, other genres.. I'm logged in with my itunes id automatically. I haven't bought anything yet, and this is with itunes 8, but... I hope work around is some help.
