    Waah!

    I just moved to college, and as far as I can tell, no one else is having this problem.

    I have a 8 core Mac Pro, its pretty, I love it. However, I cannot access the itunes store, at all, in my dorm, and I have NO idea why. I partitioned my second drive and put windows on it for other programs, and it wont access the itunes store there either.... an error comes up reading
    "iTunes could not connect to the itunes store, an unknown error occured (-4)"

    also when I plug my Iphone in and run itunes an error comes up saying "The application MDCrashReportTool quit unexpectedly"

    I ran Disk utility, and I repaired permissions, and I verified disk, the disk came out okay, and the repair changed nothing.

    I tried to uninstall itunes, but I didn't know how so I dont think it worked completely, and it STILL doesn't work, I'm very lost.

    if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. thank you

    May be your college has blocked the itunes store?!!..Just making a guess...
    Try to use your iphone with a network other than your university's network & it might work!

    Probably to prevent the saturation of the university's bandwidth. If anything, they might throttle it and not completely block it, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did since it's not a requirement to allow iTunes for educational purposes (despite the fact that it can have an educational purpose). Remember that the university has to pay for the bandwidth used as well.

    Out of curiosity, how are you connecting your Mac Pro to the Internet? Are you connected through Ethernet or are you wireless? If you're wireless, are you sure that you're properly connected to the wireless? Let us know more information about how you're connected and we can move on from there (just in case it isn't the university blocking iTunes).

    U might also want to have a look at your router settings. It might have been blocking it as well via port blocking or something else!
