Q: We could not complete your iTunes Store request.  The network connection could not be established.

How embarrassing for Apple.. happening to me too. You'd think by now they'd have ironed out this kind of stuff, but nope.

Well just FYI, but I feel like an idiot. For some reason I had NetLimiter set to limit itunes to 5KB/s, so I bet it was the lack of bandwidth causing the problem for me. Once I turned off that limit, it worked fine.

i had peerblock running...i realized that any program, in my case peerblock, that is blocking http connections and/or certain firewall restrictions may prevent the istore from working. after disabling peerblock it worked just fine.hope this helps!

Same error here. Hmmm

Same here and i've got no extra blocks runniing other than the Apple firewall

"we could not compete your itunes store request." "an unkonwn error occured (4002)" "there was an error in the itunes store"

Parental Access Control sulution. Solved my issue. Thank you.

THISSSSSSS WORKSSSSSS EVERYBODY!

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH

Try to open the itunes store by your own first, then plug your iDevice to the computer, and that just worked to me

The Parental Control solution works for me! This helps a lot!!! Thanks so much

I had the same problem. Here is what worked for me: log in with a different account and switch back.

I have several Apple accounts and use my old gmail-address for all the iTunes purchases. Tried to log in with no success.

Then I tried my icloud-account and was able to log in instantly. Logged out and tried the old gmail-account and logged in successfully.

Juchuu (like the Germans would say)!!!

You need to log onto your itunes account. I did and it worked for me.

Make sure your computer is authorized!  This will also happen if you changed your apple ID password but have not signed on to ITunes since you changed your password.  Click on Store on your Itunes menu tab and select autohorize this computer, enter your password and try again.  It will say your computer is already authorized, but that was not the issue if it was a password change.

Or just signout and sign back in.
