Q: istore connect failure in itunes

Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?

Okay. With that one, just in case, let's check for LSP trouble as per the following document:

Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

the issue is not about being blank or windows performance but connecting to the store.

Yes, I'm aware of that. But on occasion, even though it isn't listed in the document as a symptom, 3212s seem to be a possible symptom of LSP issues. Hence the suggestion.

If no joy on the LSP front, check for security software issues too. (It's a traditional cause of error message numbers in the 3000 range, although it seems to be a rarer cause of the 3212 than it used to be.)
