iTunes has some issues, perhaps a Memorial Day hack is in effect?

Seems like iTunes is being re-routed to non-secure iTunes Store, but I can not seem to clear error message or reroute destination for iTunes Store.


Is anyone else getting these warnings or unable to conncet to iTunes Store?

Still does not load and I have deleted the app and re-installed it. Here are the (3) messages I get when trying to connect and either accepting or rejecting doesn't get me to the iTunes Store.


iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server “init.itunes.apple.com”.


The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “init.itunes.apple.com”, which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the server anyway?


iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server “p9-buy.itunes.apple.com”.

Two things come to mind:


1. You could re-download iTunes from scratch directly from Apple's website. This is what I would do if your situation happened to me. Here's a link to Apple's site:

iTunes 11.0.3



2. If you wish, you can proceed by changing Gatekeeper settngs as described below or simply answering "Yes" to the "Would you like to proceed..." questions. I do not recommend doing any of this.

I have installed iTunes as reccommended above and it does not fix problem. I had also tried unistalling iTunes completley and reinstalling - same messages appear.


I have changed "Gatekeeper" settings and it has no impact on re-routing while logging in to iTunes.


Same error messages and I can not reach the iTunes store - I get a blank screen that says iTunes Store and I can not change it by selecting a catagory etc...

Ever since I upgraded to the latest version, I've had nothing but trouble. When I try to play music from my library, it stops and starts constantly. If I click from one song to another, I end up with the spinning beach ball of death and I have to force quit. When I try to restart iTunes, I get a message saying my library is locked on a locked disk and this can't be further from the truth. I keep my library on an external drive and other things on there are accessible.


I usually have no trouble with upgrades from Apple, but now I will think twice before I just automatically accept an upgrade.
