The "Error 9813" alert occurs when there is an issue with the root certificate in a Keychain. Root certificates are stored in a system keychain located at :

/System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors

These roots are used by Mac OS X system software to evaluate trust for secure web connections, secure e-mail, and other PKI interactions.

There are a few possible resolutions for this issue:

1. Quit iTunes, open Safari, and choose Empty Cache from the Safari Menu. Return to the iTunes Store and test to see if the issue is resolved,

2. Copy the "X509Anchors SystemRootCertificates.keychain", and "SystemCACertificates.keychain" files from another computer running the exact same version of Mac OS X as your computer, restart, and test.

3. Reinstall Mac OS X on your computer.

hi there.

thanks for your advice.

tried the first one but it wasn't successful. am unable to try the other two suggestions.

error -9813 doesn't appear any more however, itunes just says it's unable to connect to the music store, that it's temporarily unavailable. if i try and log in it says that it cannot connect to the music store and that i need to check my network connection. very odd.
