I installed Version 12.1 of iTunes and it appears that the Smart Firewall in Internet Security 2014 is blocking iTunes from Opening the iTunes Store. If I turnoff the Firewall everything works fine. I went into settings to see if I can adjust the setting of the Firewall but if I do Norton freezes.
I am running iTunes 12.1 on:
TOSHIBA Laptop Windows 864Bit 6GB RAM
Intel Core i7 3630QM CPU 2.40GZ
Thank you
