cant get on itunes store

i'm having the same problem...first noticed it a couple of days ago. first i got an error when i tried to purchase songs, saying the item is no longer available...now i can't get to the store at all. internet connection is fine...tried keychain verification, & no problem there...

I'm having the same issue. I've noticed we all seem to be in Houston. Just out of curiousity, what ISP do you use?

Hi folks. I'm having problems since last monday.
I heard several other people from Houston have the same problem.
My ISP is TvMax, always worked until last week-end.
Kind of wierd.

HELP!!

Yep same problem here in the UK too! It's been over a week, but tonight was the first time I eventually managed to do an album before the same message appeared yet again :'o(

I have reported it through iTunes Feedback - have you guys too? if everyone reports it, p'raps they might prioritise it faster......

iMAC 24" 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM 500 GB HD Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I agree kvance, this ***** completely.
Merely a coincidence we're almost all from Houston, TX in this thread as I see there are hundreds of people with the same problems all around the world.
Plus, imagine how many people have this problem too but do log into Apple Discussions.
Just of of curiosity, everybody using iTunes release 7.1.1?
I do.

Since there are a number of things that can prevent you from connecting to the iTunes Store, but y'all are from Houston, I don't think it's a coincidence. Are all y'all using the same ISP? That might be a good place to start - They might be blocking the necessary ports.

I'm currently able to get on without any problems. I'm crossing my fingers. I was able to get on for about 30 minutes over the weekend, but then it went back down again. Hopefully this time it's a little more permenant.

Oh and just to follow up, I also have TVMax as my ISP. I e-mailed their tech support and they say the do not have any ports blocked.

hi...


it's still happening here. Uk, all day of the 10th. it times out and says something about the network connection being reset.

i've never had this problem at all before so why all of a sudden now?


anyone else still out there having problems?

Hi there,

First day on a Mac, and can't get on to iTunes either. Tried my Windows laptop with same result. Same "Cannot connect to iTunes" error you guys are getting. UK here.

thats their excuse yes they do blockings now, and most ISP through out the world are blocking and thus effecting your Itunes store connection
here is a link to the error message you get when your have a fine working connection but your ISP is blocking you.
