Important Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

When you try to open the iTunes Store, App Store, or the Book Store in Apple Books, you might see a 'Cannot connect to iTunes Store' alert message or something similar. The iTunes Store, App Store, or Book Store might also not load anything at all, or might unexpectedly stop in the middle of downloading content.
If you have a separate issue where iTunes doesn’t recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you connect the device to your computer using a USB cable, get help.
Store availability and features might vary by country or region. Learn more about what's available in your country or region.
Check your connection
Make sure that your device is connected to the Internet. Try using an Internet browser to connect to any website and see if it loads. If it doesn't, use another device on the same network to see if it can connect to any website. If no other devices can access the Internet, turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again to reset it. If you still can’t connect to your Wi-Fi network, contact your Internet provider for more help. If only your first device can’t connect to the Internet, get help with Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If you use cellular service to connect to the Internet on your iPhone or iPad, make sure that you have cellular data turned on for the iTunes Store, App Store, and Apple Books: Go to Settings > Cellular, and turn on Cellular Data.
Check System Status
Visit the Apple System Status page to see if there are interruptions in service in your country or region.

Advanced steps
If you still can't connect to the iTunes Store, App Store, or Book Store, try these advanced steps.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- If you're using cellular data to connect to the Internet, larger items might not download. You might need to connect to Wi-Fi to download games, apps, videos, and podcasts.

On your Mac
By default, the built-in application firewall for macOS automatically allows applications signed by Apple to receive incoming connections.

/var/db/crls/

Can't Download Anything
- Check to see if you've turned on third-party security software or Windows Firewall. If you have, your settings might not let you connect to the iTunes Store, and you might need to change them.
- Check your Windows proxy server settings.
- If you see only a blank white screen with the words iTunes Store on it, you might have a conflict between software that monitors Internet traffic and Apple software.
On your Apple TV
If you can't connect to the iTunes Store, App Store, or any streaming video services, make sure you have an active network connection in Settings > Network. Get help with Wi-Fi networks on your Apple TV.
