"The iTunes server could not be connected..." How do I install the new version of itunes now?

Every time I try to check for updates I get this message across my screen.
"The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “ax.itunes.apple.com”, which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the server anyway?"
After which it informs me the user could not be connected.
I need to update so I can sync my phone that just got replaced. Is there any way to do this?

  • I just installed Lion to my iMac. Every thing works like before except for iTunes. When I clicked on it, it said the iTunes file could not be found, and that there was a new version of iTunes. I said to install it, but then I get a box saying it is waitin

    I just installed Lion  and everything works fine except for iTunes. It says it cannot find my iTunes file, then asks if I want the latest version of iTunes. I clck yes, then get a box saying it is waiting for other downloads to complete. That box just sits there as I have no other downloads waiting. How do I get my music back? Actually it is all my wives', and I want to get it back for her. Any help will be appreciated.

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • HT1937 my iphone could not be activated because the activation server could not be rached. how can i solve this problem?

    my iphone could not be activated because the activation server could not be rached. how can i solve this problem?

    Make sure the wifi you're connecting to has a strong connection. Also, it has to be set up with basic security, meaning you can't activate your phone using wifi that needs you to access Safari to sign in.
    You can also always use iTunes on your computer (with a strong Internet connection) to do this as well.

  • I have had an eMac for a few years. I don't know any of the specs. Every time I try to download or install a new version of itunes or OS I get any number of error messages and cannot complete.  Help!!!!

    I have had an eMac for a few years. I don't know any of the specs. Every time I try to download or install a new version of itunes or OS I get any number of error messages and cannot complete.  Help!!!!

    It's best to start with figuring out your eMac model and OS in order to answer the question. This article will help you determine your model:
    How to locate the serial number and identify your model
    And to get the version of Mac OS that's installed:
    From the Apple Menu at the left end of your menu bar, select "About this Mac..."
    In the resulting Window, you can see the Mac OS version just under the big "Mac OS X":
    If the eMac is older and you have never upgraded the system software, it's possible that your OS version is too old to run the current iTunes. The current version requires OS 10.5 (Leopard)or higher, which is a pay-for system upgrade.

    I have Windows 7 and Photoshop Elements 10.  I went to install brushes by going to computer->OS(c:)->program files(x86)->adobe->pse10->presets->brushes.  After I installed the brushes I could not open PSE, I would just get this error message.How do I fix the problem?

  • I am trying to update my itunes to the latest version, but it says the itunes server could not be updated and i need to connect to the internet when I amlready am connected

    I am trying to update my itunes to the latest version, but it says the itunes server could not be updated and i need to connect to the internet when I amlready am connected. How do I get the latest version of itunes so i can sync my iphone with itunes without losing all my songs?

    We were able to fix our machine!  I just could not make sense of the error message, so we were trying non-Microsoft, non-Apple solutions. 
    Our Solution:  Install MalWareBytes, and run a Quick Scan.
    Even thought both Microsoft anti-virus and Defender were running on our Windows 8 machine, MalWareBytes found about 100 problems.  As I looked over the types of problem and locations, I found several that referenced the exact directory referenced in this message.  The machine had to be restarted for MalWareBytes to complete the cleaning, but iTunes installed afterwards with no problems.
    Thank you MalWareBytes!

    I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

    What version of iTunes are you using?  The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

  • A connection to the QuickTime server could not be established. This computer may be having trouble accessing the Internet or the server may be offline

    When I select “Update existing software in QuickTime Pro I get an error message saying “A connection to the QuickTime server could not be established. This computer may be having trouble accessing the Internet or the server may be offline”
    This has persisted for several weeks. Any help will be welcomed as I do not know how to contact QuickTime support via Apple.
    I am using Windows 7 64 bit.  
    Many thanks

    I was able to download and install the latest version of iTunes  (10.6.3.25) without a hitch. After the reboot I tried again to update my exisitng Quicktime Pro software as described in my original posting and got exactly the same error message.
    If it happens that there is no software to download because I am already running the latest version, surely a message to that effect would appear and not the one saying “A connection to the QuickTime server could not be established. This computer may be having trouble accessing the Internet or the server may be offline”
    Still seeking advice if possible
    Cheers

  • How can i solve the vpn server could not be found error on my iphone 5s?

    how can i solve the vpn server could not be found error on my iphone 5s?

    FWIW, back at work we have a Palo Alto Networks firewall and VPN. Have configured both the iPhone and the iPad with the pertinent details.
    If I connect while in the premises (same LAN), connection is instantaneous and flawless.
    If I connect while away, no matter which external network, the first attempt to connect ALWAYS fails with a NOT FOUND error. Yet if I try again immediately after, it ALWAYS connects with no further issues.

  • So i restarted my iPod and it is telling me that the activation server could not be reached! I don't know how to fix it. please help!

    So i restarted my iPod and it is telling me that the activation server could not be reached. And I don't know how to fix it. Please help!!

    Maybe this is applicable
    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
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    This says the Activation Servers are on-line

  • HT1933 I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found.  I have used the gift card previously with no issue.  How do I fix

    I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found.  I have used the gift card previously with no issue.  How do I fix it?

    Have you moved or deleted those tracks on your computer (the gift card has got nothing to do with it) ?
    You might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (re-downloading isn't possible in all countries) - if those songs appear there then delete the entries from your iTunes library (where you are clicking on them to play them and gettinf the 'original file' error), and they should then get a cloud symbol against them for re-downloading.
    If they don't appear in that link then have you got them on, for example, an external drive ?

  • Purchased a song from iTunes, i tried to transfer it to my itouch, but i received an error "iTunes could not copy because the file could not be converted". how do i convert the song (well, i thought it will automatically be converted)?

    purchased a song from iTunes, i tried to transfer it to my itouch, but i received an error "iTunes could not copy because the file could not be converted". how do i convert the song (well, i thought it will automatically be converted)?

    Problem Fixed:
    Remove the song from your itunes library, then go to the itunes store and try to download it again. It will say something like "this song has already been purchased, would you like to download it again for free?". Click yes, and it will download again. This worked for me, hope it helped
