ITunes cannot connect to Internet and iPad backup takes Forever

Hi, I have a workstation, high end Windows 7, PC, everything works perfect except the iTunes.. here's my story:
iTunes cannot connect to internet, nor can iTunes Store. I tried "Run Diagnostics" from Help menu, it showed "internet connection verified" green light BUT "Secure link to iTunes Store Failed" Red Light.
Then I thought, lets check other Apple App, Safari.. which couldn't load google for a long time and didn't even show any error, anyway, so I quit and uninstalled it.
I connected iPad for backup, it started all fine. At "Step 2 of 7" backing up, the loading/copying bar came half way up and stayed there for more than 20 hours. So, I quit that too. (Maybe, this is a different problem or connected, im not sure.)
I also checked the setting in Norton Firewall and made sure iTunes was allowed full access. Internet is working perfect in all the other applications, even "Apple Software Update" is working fine, checking for updates and everything. I have latest version of iTunes by the way.
THEN, I uninstalled everything Apple, left no trace of Apple in Program Files, and reinstalled iTunes. STILL SAME PROBLEM!!! Can anybody help? What could've happened, 'coz it used to work just fine before.
Thanks Guys!

start itunes.
update podcasts - no response.
click on store - no response.
use diagnostics for connectivity - no response.
sometimes, when i stop itunes from trying to connect, i will get an error code 11222

  • I cannot update ios as it says itunes cannot connect to internet, but it is

    Hi everybody, please help me. I've been trying to update my ipad for ages. When i click update it says itunes cannot connect to internet, but it is and it works for iphone and ipod, it's just the ipad. tried with security settings as well, but it doesn't work. did the connectivity test and it says itunes cannot connect to internet...it is connected

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Cannot connect to internet on ipad mini need to use 'other network' please help

    cannot connect to internet need another network as haven't password

    The Other Network option is so you can connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot that might have its name hidden.  Other Network gives you the oppertunity to type the name of the hidden Wi-Fi hotspot so the iPad can see it.
    If you are looking for a Wi-Fi hotspot to join, but can not because you do not have the password to join that network, you will need to ask the hotspot's owner for permission and a password before you can join.
    If you have internet in your house and you want to connect your iPad Mini to the internet, you will need a wireless router or access point.  Ask your internet provider, they may already have that available for you and it would be a quick setup for them. 
    Good luck,

  • ITunes cannot connect to internet

    So I can't use my new ipod touch without connecting to the itunes store. I've disabled all my firewalls, yet I still cannot connect to the itunes store. I run the network diagnostics and it fails, but when I click the help button, I see "iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn’t connected to the Internet."
    Again I have no firewalls running, so how is it that my iTunes program can't connect to the internet?

  • HT203128 my itunes wont connect to internet

    my iTunes wont connect to internet and devices wont sync
    ipod ios 6.1.6

    Look at your security software settings. Make sure iTunes.exe and iTunesHelper.exe are allowed to connect to the internet.

  • Everytime I try to sync/backup, the backup takes forever.

    Basically, I plug in my phone and on iTunes, the sync starts up, but the backup takes forever. I've tried everything on the forums, including deleting old backups (Now I have none and it won't backup, and I can't restore my phone now because I'm afraid I'll lose everything). PLEASE HELP!!!! I've tried everything but nothing works and it's getting really frustrating.

    Wish I could help you, but I have the exact same issue. Iphone 4 as well.

  • Ipad is disabled connect to itunes but i connected it and there was a popup saying itunes cannot connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode. You mus enter the passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. but i couldnt enter my passwor

    my ipad is disabled and it said ipad is disabled connect to itunes but i connected it and was restoreing it and then there was a popup and it said itunes cannot connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode. and you must enter the passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. But i couldnt even write the passcode on my ipad cause it was disabled. What should i do now????

    Follow the instructions on this page to reset your iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • TS1398 iTunes , cannot connect to server. At both, my fathers and at my place, with both, his iPad1 and my iPad 3

    Started out with "Text Plus" triple charging me. Gave up on them.  iTunes sent me an email with the receipt of all 3 charges with "report a problem"  under each purchase. I clicked on it and that's when I had on my screen "cannot connect to server". This happens with both my iPodtouch 4 th gen. & my new iPad3 , both are WiFi. This also happens at my place and my fathers, with my products and the iPad 1 WiFi I gave to him. I can get on my iTunes but can't buy anything. I can sync . Please someone help, Sue

    I just now did what you said and now it says; iTunes, cannot connect to iTunes store.
    Very puzzling indeed, I contacted iTunes the other day and Derrick told me to go to Apple , I did and they said their support community has dealt with this problem before and now I am here. I think I am going to sync my iPad with iTunes for the 8th time and see if that does anything, it's been about 24 hrs. Since I did it last. Thank you for your help,Sue

  • Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions

    Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions?

    There is a plugin for Firefox - see here
    http://latestversionplugin.com/current-version-plugin-itunes-application-detecto r.html
    It should be installed automatically if you install iTunes, but I guess when you installed iTunes you didn't have Firefox.  Just reinstall iTunes and it should work OK  (your iTunes library will not be affected)

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
