I cant access the itunes store for apple ipods

Question

About a week ago I bought an ipod shuffle. I followed all the instructions that came in the box. I fully charged the ipod. I downloaded everything you need to setup. But when I tried to access the itunes store it didn't open. The homepage appeared so I tried typing in a song in the search engine, but when I pressed enter nothing happened. To be honest I'm quite new to all this and I'm not really sure what I'm doing. My next idea was to open up a green icon called Itunes store, but each time I try to open it up it says "Itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network could not be reached. Make sure your network connection is active and try again." Like I said I don't know that much about computers, but I think that this is the problem, whatever it means. If anyone out there knows what I'm doing wrong and how to fix this please tell me. This is really getting frusterating. Thank You.

Answer 3

try going to another site to see if it works, if not unplug your modem for ten seconds and plug it back in and if that doesn't work call your isp (internet service provider)
