Cannot connect to iTunes Stores Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
Since I downloaded the latest iTunes version, I started to have connection problems to iTunes Store.  I tried everything already including adding iTunes to the McAfee exceptions, the use of Proxy Server has always been unchecked, reinstalled iTunes, etc.  but so far still no luck.  It keeps saying Loading... when trying to connect to the Store and when trying to update my applications, it says to check my Internet connection. My internet works perfectly fine.  I don't have Norton on my PC, so that is not a problem. HELP!!!

Same here. I have tried pretty much everything that the Apple site said to do. :/ I don't have Norton either and my connection is working. I have reinstalled iTunes twice now. Nothing is working.

I found this on another site and it fixed my problem: 

Opened iTunes. Clicked on Preferences and under Parental Controls disabled access to the iTunes Store. I then checked the box to allow access to iTunes U. 
When I tried loading the store this time, it sent me directly to iTunes U with no problem. 
I then went back into Preferences and enabled access to everything and tries reloading the store. 

Voila. I can now connect to the whole store with no problems. Strange

try this 

Open iTunes. 
On Mac OS X: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences. 
On Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. 
Click the Parental Controls tab. 
Place a checkmark next to the option to disable the iTunes Store, and next to the option to Allow access to iTunes U 
Click OK. 
Open iTunes preferences again. 
Choose the Parental Controls tab. 
Remove the checkmark next to the option to disable the iTunes Store. 
Click OK. 
Test the issue. 
If resolved, it is possible the issue may return in the future. Look for updates to this article or apply future iTunes software updates for a permanent resolution.

I fixed this problem by going into start/internet/internet properties/connections/Lan settings and then un=checking "use a proxy server for your LAN. 

No other issues as a result of unchecking this.
