Q: iTunes Store error (-3212)??

Thank you Nyboy_x5!  This worked for me too and fix was explained very well!  Thanks so much.

This solution worked perfectly. Thank you very, very much!

This was such a great fix - been tearing my hair out as just updated iTunes and it totally messed up my connection to the iStore.  Thank you so much for this fix.

Alexmarie_91    Open up your Webroot and disable your firewall. It should work then...Good Luck!

You don't need to disable Peerblock or 'Allow HTTP'. Just highlight all the Apple entries in the Peerblock window, right-click them and select 'Allow Multiple IP's Permanently'.

Make sure you only select Apple entries and nothing else. You may find many Apple entries in Peerblock for this forum, iTunes etc.

Thanks great fix.

Thank you nyboy_x5!!!! Your solution worked perfectly! Thank you for sharing your insights!!!!!! So easy!

I got same error and reboot PC (help desk always says do that anyway).  Still got error.  I closed out of itunes.  Went to Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features.  I saw that an extra Apple manager had installed and I uninstalled.  THen selected iTunes and ran repair on it.  Got the prompt from Norton 360 and allowed changes.  Repair completed, opened itunes and back in business.

I am having the same problem. Just updated ITunes and now I cannot access store. I have Norton 360. I will try suggestion.

THANK YOU!!!

I also run Norton 360 and this immediately fixed this issue.

Hello mitch299,

Did you try allowing iTunes under Smart Firewall > Program control and see if it works? Please let me know if you need further help!

Thanks!

In my case it was Norton 360 that blocked iTunes from accessing the internet. Although the firewall was set to "Automatic", it still just blocked iTunes without asking any questions. As soon as I set the permission to "Allow", iTunes reconnected with the Apple server. PROBLEM SOLVED! Hope this helps other users.

score! You win! thanks for the tip!  If Norton is the problem, set the firewall to "block" itunes. Click apply! Then set it to "allow" again,click apply! and it's clear sailing!

dear norton support,

Of course, if itunes has been working, we all have itunes "allowed." The tip that worked was BLOCK itunes. Click apply. Then ALLOWitunes again. Click apply.
