iTunes Store not loading on iTunes.

Try this in Vista and got the reply "The requested operation requires elevation". Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I have been dealing with this issues for 2 months. Apple Support was no help what so ever. Ran the Winsock Reset and it fixwed everything on my computer. Thanks. Steve

SImon,

for your issue, when you go to open cmd.exe right click before opening, and select run as administrator. Than run the command and you will be all set.

SImon,

That does not sound good then, sorry about that. I tried the winsock reset on three different computers yesterday and it fixed the iTunes issues that I had on all three (Windows 7 32 and 64bit) computers. There is one other option that you can try, it may not work. (Make a backup of your iTunes folder to an external drive first). Uninstall iTunes through the control panel, and also uninstall Quicktime, Safari, bonjour and all other Apple related products. Go through program folders and delete all Apple related folder (even search the hidden folder's under Roaming). Affter all of these steps are completed, go and download Ccleaner (piriform,com) free version and run that. After you do that, download Revo Uninstaller (download the pro version, you get a free 30 day trial). When you run that, restart the computer, run Ccleaner again. Everything should be completely removed now. Try a clean install again.

If you have tried the above steps that I have mentioned and it still does not work, I have bad news for you. You are going to have to redo the system.

VERY IMPORTANT. when you run Ccleaner it will ask you if you want to backup a copy of your registry, say yes.

VERY IMPORTANT #2: When running revo uninstaller, it will find all the iTunes related registry entries, only delete the bold entries. There are entries that are listed that are not bold (you will destroy your system if not careful), so only delete the dark bold entries.

Hope this helps.

Ok here I go again got mine fixed with a nic driver update from killer bigfoot network cards. Thay say the bug is in itunes and they mad a work around. I have reformated two diferent computers and reloaded windows still don't help don't wast your time!! The issue is with itune strange way they use tcip and it trashes winsock with some nic card. The only way I see fixing this is apple fixing itunes or get a different nic card. Not knowing witch work and witch don't will make this very hard! IF APPLE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS CALL KILLER NETWORKS!!! tHEY GOT IT WORKING NOW NEW DRIVER AS OF 11/21/2011 OR GOTO THE WEB SITE AND DOWNLOAD IT NOW! This will only work on killer nics hope appel fixes it soon!!!! WE could ask any one that has it working what nic card there useing and add one but this is a pain ... Come on Apple FIX THIS NOW!!!!!!

Also forgot to thank Hacking Steve for the excelent tutorial on how to totaly uninstall great work there!!!

As he is pointing out uninstalling itune only will not remove everything!!!! If you have done this more than once try a different nic card!!!!

Can you tell us who makes your nic card and the ones in Dad and sis computer please. This will help others still having this problem. My nic card company has mad a work around for something itune broke. Some nic card cant handle what ever itunes is doing. A different nic will fix this but we need to know what ones work! your Dad and Sis have working ones.

If aug was the first date this happened what the **** is apple doing!!!!!!!! come on FIX THINS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone look aroung seems to be a ongoing thing with itunes store mac and pc ????????????

Apple makes great hardware what about a rewright of itunes as it seems to be the hart of the all the hardware and it has many bugs come on FIX IT!!!!!

I officially spent ALL DAY trying to get the iTunes store back. I tried ALL of the proposed fixes. In the end, I found that a filtering program, Safe Eyes, that I had on my computer, I repeat: had, was causing the iTunes store not to come up even though I made all of the recommended adjustments to the program. When I uninstalled Safe Eyes and restarted my computer the iTunes store was right back up. My tip, check out firewall or filtering type software that might be blocking the iTunes store. Good luck.

I tried many things and this one worked...

MTG68 wrote - In windows 7, click on your start menu, go to accessories, right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator". Once it opens, type in the following command...

netsh winsock reset

hit enter and it should say something like winsock reset successful now reboot your computer.

Many thanks..after trying so many other things this worked for me.. !!!

What does this command actually do?

try to uninstall the speedbit video accelerator and disable anti viruses...
