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

Thanks, i have found the solution.

Hi,
you have other entries in the /etc/host-file. (tinyumbrella?)
here is the fix :
1) Finder Menu -> Go -> Go to Folder... -> type : /etc/hosts
2) find hosts file and DO BACKUP
3) Copy file (hosts) onto desktop and open with text edit.
Delete everything and paste below :
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
Replace file with /etc/hosts (admin permission required)
Reopen Game Center

Hey nani91191,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may simply need to authorize your computer with your Apple ID:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12303
iTunes 11 for Windows: Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12511
Authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases: Choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
If you are using a Windows PC, you may need to turn on the menu bar to access the "Store" menu:

Whenever I plugged in HP laserjet M1132 printer usb to my Macbook air,a screen pop-out "the disk inserted are not readable by this computer".I uninstalled

Hi,I'm new here and I think my problem were discussed few times before.However,I tried to follow the solutions similiar to my condition but it does not work.My problem is whenever I plugged in the HP printer (Laserjet M1132 MFP) usb to my Macbook Air,a screen will pop-out and read as 'the disk inserted is not readable by this computer'.I even bought my Mac to the Mac store but the situation remains the same.Okay with other printer but not with my HP.Sigh.The HP printer worked just fine with other computers (not Mac).I'm really sick of it.Please help me.I once plugged in an external hard drive & started Time Machine with it.The printer problem started after that.However, the hard drive plug-in works just fine.
Your attention of above matter is highly appreciated.Thank you.

Here is what worked for me:
I reset the System Management Controller on my MBA. To do so requires shutting it down, keeping it plugged in to power (I also unplugged both USB connections), and then from a powered off state I simultaneously pressed Shift + Ctl + Option + Power (I did this once and it did not work so I tried again and did it 3 times just to be safe), then released them at once, then I pressed the power button. Problem solved.

I also tried uninstalling the using the repair Disk Permissions with Disk Utility and moved the HP Printer software accessories to the trash (you can search the web for how to do that but that did not solve the problem either). Neither of these options worked.

I had this problem as well - not accessing from different accounts, but Config crashed one day and then didn't open. I found this discussion and following the path suggested in it I went to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Application Support/com.apple.configurator and deleted the file there. Must have been corrupt; next time I opened Configurator it worked fine, although it's history was all gone.

Why am I having trouble accessing complete audiobooks from the cloud.

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so you will need to sync them to the iPad from your computer's iTunes if you want them in its Music app

I can not update Quick Time. I get the message "a connection with the server could not be established" I AM connected to the internet. I have purchased QuickTime pro but can not get it uploaded. Help.

I have purchased Quick Time Pro and received my key. I am told to go to QuickTime settings to update and I do not have Quick Time in my control panel.
When I bring up QuickTime and click Help to Update I am told that a connection to the server could not be made due to either the server being down or my computer not having an internet connection. I am connected to the internet so I know that is not the problem.

HT201210 I can't restore my child's ipod touch due to itunes stating the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temp. unavailable which I have several times & tried the resolution steps on the error page & the ipod won't restore please

When I was updating my child's ipod touch with itunes....it put the ipod in recovery mode and said I would need to restore and then update....which was my only option to choose, so when I chose restore & update....after going thru it seemed the process, then a window came up that stated the ipod couldn't be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable and to try again. After trying this several times unsuccessfuly and going thru the steps on the help section, the ipod is still not able to restore & update, thus we can't access anything on our very new ipod touch and I am very frustrated, can't afford any Apple support tech time. PLEASE HELP!!

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- The Additional Information paragraph of
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

TS3716 My iPod hasn't been used in a very long time. It's an older model. It says disabled but every time I connect it; it says, "iTunes could not detect '____' Because it is locked with a passcode. Please enter the passcode and move on." And I cant enter

Please help.

you're most likely going to have to restore the device in recovery mode. this will erase content only on the ipod. but gain usage again :/
power off the ipod
disconnect it from the plug
while holding the home button(DO NOT LET GO!!!) connect to the chord and don't let go of the home button until you see an itunes icon.
itunes should say 'detects a device in recovery mode, you must restore' yada yada.
restore and then after your done you should be able to sync to itunes
good luck!

The printer driver is not installed on this computer....

Ok, I have read all kings of fixes for this with HP printers, but what happens when its not just HP printers but any kind of printer I put on this Windows 7 32bit SP1 computer. Every time I plug in a printer it installs the drivers but when I try
to pull up the properties or even try to print it brings up this error. This has happened on a Brother and a HP printer.
Eric Vanderveer IT Consultant www.ericvanderveer.com

Evidently you either did not install the correct driver or its installation did not successfully complete. Can we get your system specs, what OS, What priinters ? what you have already tried? etc
What troubleshooting have you done so far?

A connection with Quick Time software server could not be established

How do i fix this when trying to update the software?

Let's try installing using an installer from the website rather than using Apple Software Update:

Any better luck with that one? Or the same message?
