iTunes store temporarily unavailable?

I was having the same issues as many others here, with an iPad 2 3G 64GB (Black). I replaced my Netgear WNDR3700 router with a Cisco Linksys E4200 router and haven't dropped a connection since.

Whoops. I posted this reply in the wrong thread. Sorry.

This worked for me:

I had to "sign in/create new acct/cancel" twice in order for it to work but the store is now normally accessible.

Haven't been able to get into the store for months. Paid for several songs, but can't download them. I'm dropping ITune.

Under Edit/Preferences check to be sure the ITunes store disable box is not checked. That's how I solved my problem.

check if your internet connection bandwidth is sucked by programs like torrents .Shut them off completely(even when torrents are paused) and try again .shud work

what the **** is going on with itunes after STEVE JOB 😟

So I've been having this "Itunes store unavailable" type deal for awhile now and I've contacted Itunes 4 times over it and they keep blaming my internet connection, which is virtually impossible because my mom had an available download on her Itunes account that is ALSO on my laptop and I was successfully able to download hers without a problem and yet I have 5 downloads, including a movie because Flixster is a POS that won't download, not to mention the fact that I have tried it at multiple different locations that has wireless connections and I get the same bs. I've unisntalled Itunes and Quicktime multiple times, updated ALL Windows Updates, turned off and on the firewall and flushed the dns or whatever other suggestions are that people have made and yet I'm STILL getting told it's because I don't have a direct connection to the internet and am running off my own wireless that is right beside my laptop. Does anybody have any suggestions at all on how to rectify this before I make a slight fool of myself by getting ****** off and yelled at by an Apple consultant again?

So, having the same issue - updated my iPhone OS - still same problem can't get into iTunes - but do see a notice in iTunes via iPhone that says: "Your iPhone software is up to date. iTunes will automtacially check for an update again on 12/9/11."

Hmmm, maybe the fix is in the works....untill then I have purchased items "stuck" somewhere as my phone tells me to log into iTunes but I can't access iTunes to correct the situation... Argh!

I'm gettng the message, "The iTunes Store is currently unavailable. Try again later."

I was getting this too, I was trying to download a free app and it kept wanting me to update my billing info. So it would take me to the entry form (on computer), I would enter it all and hit done and it would come up with this error. So I started looking in my iPod and found where my Apple id was on the device and updated the information on the touch. Then when I went to download the same app, it worked!

I have figured out the problem for me. I have NetNanny and it was blocking access to itunes.apple.com. I added the domain of apple.com to the trusted websites for NN and it's all good now. I got the idea because someone else had content proection on with some other product.

I hope this works for you and happy store browsing if it does.
