iTunes Help

[Matterhorn Fan]

I'm trying to download the free stuff, and it's not working. It didn't work last week, either. I haven't tried for months before this.

When I tell it to go ahead and download, I get a box that says that it's connecting to the store. This hangs around for a minute, maybe less, and then I get an error message claiming "the network connection timed out." The advice this window gives is the standard make sure you have an internet connection business.

I'm on the internet. It's dialup, but that's never been a problem before (downloads are slow, but that's all).

So what gives? Does this mean I finally have to download the newest version of iTunes it keeps asking me to get? Has iTunes cut me off from the free stuff, hoping I will pay instead?

If I never download from iTunes again, I won't be heartbroken. But if somone's got a way to fix this, it'd be great!
