This is the message I get

I tunes could not connect to the Itunes store. The network connection timed out
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active then try again

But my internet is working? Im on here?

arrgghhhhh Im such a dunce when it comes to these things the helpy things never helped either  >:(

I need to make a CD for a class on Wednesday! heeeeelppppp

thnaks in advance xxx

its broked

<Irish accent>Have you tried turning it off and on again?</Irish accent>

Proper help might be nice ;)

there is a website where you can upgrade previous versions of i-tunes  - google it - that should work as a last resort if it worked on previous version. I have had problems a couple of times when upgrading newist version....

Do you know if you have any internet security software installed on your computer? Also are you runnin on windows xp, vista or is the computer a mac?

If you don't know then ask a grown up.

best bit of advice you will ever hear....get rid of it and get a creative zen

I've had 3 Zens all went pear shaped within a week, swapped to a samsung t10, never a problem

I've had creative zen for well over a year now and no problems at all.

either way the moral of the story is to stay away fro apple products

Cock off Seb, my iPhone's lush.  :)

My iPod is nearly 5 years old and still going strong.

an ipod which battery lasts for 5 years? unheared of, you must have had it stashed away unused for 4 years :-)

You're just jealous.

My Ipod lasted a good 5 years as well before it died a few months back

Got my stepson a Zen 4 years ago and he's still using it - one small interruption during that time when he somehow managed to crush it and we sent it off for repair under warranty, had it back in a week, good as new

Is there an mp3 player which when you plug it in lets you just use it as a removable harddrive without having to install any proprietary software bollocks? Preferably one which looks nice with a decent screen and support for all the video and sound jobbies? Maybe even with some sort of TV out connection so you could watch all the videos on a telly if you were round a mates house or something.

Not that I could afford such a thing, but it would be nice to know if it was out there.

had 3 zens in the space of a year,all broke:) my ipod is alot better.


if you had a mac,the ipod would cover most of that,apart from the tv out,and the mp3 compatability/usual video formats.

Really? I presumed macs would come with itunes built in nowadays.

EDIT: Built in bad choice of phrase, meh you know what I mean. Preinstalled by default or something.

u can buy a iPod to tv converter for about £20

Its not a mac - we have internet security (Symantec I think?)and I know its windows but dont htink its XP

It sounds like your firewall is blocking your connection since the update - your firewall may see this as a different piece of software if the version has changed (unusual, but then this is Windows...)..

Go to Security Manager in Control Panel and turn the firewall off temporarily then try to connet - if it does then you know that the firewall is the issue, if it doesn't then you know it must be something else... that's where my knowledge of compooters finishes I'm afraid...

ahhhhhh you know I thought it might be something to do with that as I remember when I upgraded the Ipod software something flashed up from Symantec!!

I had no idea how to reverse what I had done though so Thanks my dear - Ill try it later

I think the iRiver players do that. Maybe the Archos players too.

When you go into the firewall settings click on the Exceptions tab and then add iTunes to your list of programs that are allowed access... should do the trick

wow thanks - real life help!

iRivers do, I had one ages ago, just pop up as a drive, same as a flash memory.

I used to connect my iPod to the TV all the time, quality was pretty good. All of the video iPods have a TV out, you just need the cable to do it which as JPC82 says, costs about £20. Well worth it as its like having a video player in your pocket wherever you go. I need to get a new cable now as they changed the connection on current iPods / iPhones, which Apple have a nasty habit of doing all the time.
