iTunes 10.5 for Windows 7 not connecting to iTunes store.

Did you run the command prompt as administrator? That is the ket I tried it without choosing that option and it failed.

Thanks for this - netsh reset worked a treat for me. I had been trying to solve the problem for days and it was driving me nuts.

you must work for Apple. I know a lot of people with this same problem.. Apple just does not want to fix it.

I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried the solutions here, and at first it seems they worked. After trying the netsh thing and getting rid of spyware terminator, the iTunes store loads perfectly now. But I can't download new apps. When I try it seems the download is going ok, but just as it's finishing I get this:

EDIT: I checked and made sure data execution prevention was NOT on for iTunes, and it still does this. Also I'm using windows XP, not 7.

Update: I made a stupid mistake xD After reinstalling everything I forgot to redownload quicktime. Everything's working perfectly now. Thank you people 😁

P.S.

Sorry for the new post, it wouldn't let me edit my last one again D:

uninstalling net nanny worked for me. thanks so much!!!!!

netsh worked for me. Thanks!

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling per the instructions and that didn't work.

Ultimately, I had to create an Application Exception in NetNanny on my machine to allow iTunes to work. Once I did that, All seems to work well.

I had the same problem with Windows XP SP2. Let me also say that along with the symptoms described by others (progress bar getting halfway, etc.), on my machine iTunes.exe and APSDaemon.exe were essentially taking up all the CPU time (although the machine was not hung).

Anyway, unintalling Net Nanny fixed the problem for me. (I did not try just disabling it becuase another used noted that he had to uninstall it.)

I had to completely uninstall my web content filter, CloudCare from bsecure, before I could access the iTunes store normally.

I had suspected it was the filter and configured it to allow everything that iTunes was running or trying to access (at least what I was aware of), but without success. Then I tried turning off filtering. Nothing. Only the uninstall worked. It's unfortunate that some popular parental control filters do not seem to play well with the new iTunes, as I consider both services highly valuable.

I'm having the 10.5 itunes blank screen issue as well. I'm going to try this netsh winsock reset thing and see if it works. I've been working on this fix with apple for 4 days and nothing that everyone in this thread has helped. All I can do it use the 10.4.1 for windows 7 because if I update it's just not usable.

Your fix worked for me!!! I'm so grateful!!! Thank you for posting your fix because I would of killed my computer if couldn't fix it!!

Thank you for the "netsh" worked great with vista!

thanks you so much. running the "netsh" command as an administrator worked like a charm. No if only Apple Support was aware of this it would have saved me a couple of hours.

Had the same issue. Windows 7 64bit with Net Nanny installed. Progress bar would freeze up and blank page would come up. Resolved it by opening Net Nanny, going to Tools ... Exceptions ... Applications tab and Added iTunes.exe. Everything works great now.
