iTunes Store not loading on iTunes.

Try resetting Winsock, it looks like it worked for quite a few people in this thread -> With iTunes 10.4 I can access iTunes store.

netsh winsock reset

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

If that doesn't work, try uninstalling Safari, QuickTime, and iTunes (along with related components). Then just reinstall the latest version of iTunes, without installing downloading and installing Safari or QuickTime seperately.

Thank you so much, i've been strungling with this problems for a few weeks, trying different things but yours worked straight away. Thanks again.

Thanks for your answer. I've found it useful after trying without success every single solution posted in these discussions. I was going crazy. But thanks to your post the problem is solved now.

Cheers

Thank you so much I have been working on this for days. Itunes worked on every other computer in the house but I couldn't get it working on my kitchen computer. Of course the one everyone uses. Your winsock fix worked like a charm!

Thanks again.

Thank you! I have been looking for a solution to this problem for a month.

Do you know if there is a default password for to run the cmd prompt as a administrator? I tried just leaving it blank but it says the password is wrong.

I was having the same issue on a client's computer and went through all of the steps and suggestions listed here to no avail. After running numerous virus scans and cleanup utilities, I finally tried running winsockfix (version 1.2) which can be downloaded from Majorgeeks and was able to access the iTunes store without issue. The program fixes any network stack issues that might be interfering with connectivity.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone else have some ideas. I have tried everything on these posts, but to no avail. I am running windows 7 from outside of the US (not sure if this matters). Any suggestions would be helpful. I have itunes 10.5.0.142. When I start Itunes my cpu usage goes way up. The Itune store atempts to load, with the status bar going halfway across and then it just stops. I have to go into the task manager to shut off the process so my cpu usage drops back down. I was using itunes from this computer, in this same country with no problem before the upgrade to version 10.5

Tryed this and it work till I reload ituens and then it takes forever or never loads. then I have reloaded all my apple programs 50 or time now. As I called support they guy said to unload everything and reinstall that work only if I load 10.4 not 10.5 then if I use this winsock rest it works for a little while on 10.5 then windows locks up when i load itunes and some time need to reset winsock again!!!! So now im using 10.4 everthings running great now but iphone ******* that I need 10.5!!!! WHY IS ITUNES TRASHING WINDOWS FILES AND LOCKING UP??? TWO OUT OF THREE COMPUTER HAVING SAME THING HAPPEN!!!

About had with this new 10.5 itunes, I am sick to death of never being able to view the store, and not be able to sync IPhone. Apple needs to pull their heads out and fix this problem. I am about to say the **** with the troulble and just upgrade to another phone and be done with this headache. Need to fix ASAP or Apple will be lossing another customer

I tunes has always been the worst application on my system. I am sorry I have no choice to select instead of I tunes

errors such as

itunes wont backup ipad or iphone and wont load help and cant access store

itunes help is unavailable because your computer isn’t connected to the internet. to view itunes help, make sure you’re connected to the internet, then choose itunes help from the help menu.

itunes wont connect to store

itunes help wont connect

all fixed by this tip............... thank you

ps computer tech 4 hours did not solve this one

There have been numerous fixes proposed in the last three weeks. I tried them all. Although I uninstalled apple software several times and went through reinstalls etc, nothing worked. Got tired of whole process in searching for a solution. Two days ago I uninstalled all apple software on office laptop(XP Pro), placed installation pavkage in a folder, and shutdown for weekend. Came back to work and opened folder to do the installation-----It worked and store loaded without a problem. I personally believe the support community(knowledge base) finally offered enough information for apple to tweak the 10.5 software. I must say that I had two pretty sharp IT people working with me and they were befuddled. As stated, something got figured out.

Hey,

You are real pain killer. I was suffering with this problem since long time.

Thanks!!!
