Can't connect to the iPod update server

I am trying to restore my 5G iPod with video, but I am not able to connect to the iPod software update server. If there is anywhere that I could manually download the Firmware version 1.3 I would appreciate it. My iPod is currently running firmware version 1.2.2.

The iPod update server could not be contacted.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later
That's the error.

Can't connect to the Software Update server (lionserver.t3m.private)? Please help!

Has anyone experienced this; Can't connect to the Software Update server (lionserver.t3m.private)?
I can no longer sync my iPhone as it needs an iTunes update. When I select update software and I get the error message above.

If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.

ITunes can't connect to the iPad update server

THIS IS DOING MY HEAD IN.
We recently purchased a Mac Mini to help us manage our iPads. I intend to use Apple Configurator to supervise our 26 iPads but I'm having no luck! Configurator just keeps trying to put iOS 6.1.3 on. I have downloaded the 7.0.4 ipsw and stuck that in the folder, deleted the 6.1.3 ipsw but that didn't work. Then I read somewhere that Configurator uses the latest ipsw that iTunes has downloaded. "Ok" I thought, went into iTunes, plugged an iPad in and checked for an update "The iPad software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later" FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU.
We are on a school network with proxy settings in place. Now, that shouldn't causing an issue as our Windows machines can download updates through iTunes.
I then did some more digging and found a solution that told me to add something to the line that had gs.apple.com in it. Well, our hosts file has no such thing.
(Little more information. The soloution was to: go to finder > press go from the top menu > type in '/private' and hit enter > copy the hosts file to the desktop > add a hashtag and a space before the line that says 127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com.) That line does not exist in our hosts file. I have 127.0.0.1 localhost, and that's it.
Any help would be more than appreciated. Thanks!

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

All I can tell you is that I am having the exact same problem with an iPod Touch and that I was running iTunes 9.2.1.5 at the time it happened. Upgraded to 10.0.0.68 hoping that it might help, but no joy.
I don't want to do a restore just now since the Touch seems to be working fine. Restore will have to wait until I have plenty of free time in case something goes wrong.

Can't connect to the modem's server.

Hi guys, I have a major problem.
When ever I connect to the internet with my modem, it works. But, when I connect to internet with my router and modem, I can't connect. But I have solved my problem by resetting both, my wireless router and modem. Then after I reconfigure my wireless router all I need to do is to log into my modem's server. But I can't connect to the modem's server. I tired logging in with "admin" (being the password) but I still can't connect to it.
I am using: Verizon Broadband Network
                 Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router model: WRT160N
                 Westell modem model 6100
What is the problem? Has anyone experienced this problem before?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

You will not be able to log into the modem as long as the router is plugged in
You must configure the modem first to bridge mode,then plug in the router and log into it
   1.)unplug router and have only the modem in
       go to 192.168.1.1 enter
      that will take you into the verizon modem/ if you have reset the modem then your user is; admin
                                                                                                                     your password is ; password
     once you lopg into that it will ask you to change the username/password
      just type in ADMIN in all 3 blanks
now you are logged into the modem;;;;;;go to network at the top,then network connections on the left,broadband connection ,you will then put your protocol on bridge/routed bridge,
now go to wireless settings at the top and make sure wireless is turned on
you have the option to set up a security key on basic security settings
once your modem resets then plug in your router,you are now in bridge mode and the modems connection has moved to your router. you must restart modem and computer for everything to take effect....
also make sure and refresh your network list on your laptop
Hope this works

Can't connect to the window application server.

I have installed the Sun Secure Global Desktop Software 4.2,
the client can connect to the unix application server but can't connect to the window applicaiont server.
What can i do?
Thank you.

Hi.
Are you sure you're using a Windows server which support Terminal Services? In other words, try (on the Windows server) by escaping to the CMD prompt and issue the
netstat -n
command as to see if port 3389 is listed in LISTEN state.
Best,

Safari can't connect to the web proxy server (HTTP)

Hello,
I have following problem. I need to connect to the internet using a proxy server. I went to System Preferences/Network/Wi-Fi/Advanced.../Proxies. Then, I selected Web Proxy (HTTP) and enetered server's IP address and port. It looks like I did everything correctly, but Safary can't open any page because "Safari can't connect to the web proxy server (HTTP)". Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

There are three possibilities:
1. You entered the wrong address and port number for the proxy.
2. You entered the wrong user name and password, if applicable.
3. The proxy doesn't work or is incompatible.

Can't connect you the X11 window server

Hi all!
I am having problems eom to show reports in the BEA with Crystal Reports.
I use BEA WEBLOGIC PLATAFORM 8,1 for Linux with Crystal Reports XI.
I configured server BEA to initiate as a service in my Linux SUSE, and therefore I do not use myself in the graphical way.
However when I try to visualize some report of crystal JSP page, I receive the following error:
<code>
Can't connect you the X11 window server using ':0.0 ' the value of the variable DISPLAY
</code>
With the reports me this error only occurs, therefore I have you vary webservices and paginas that function perfectly.
Already I read some topics of the forum related with this problem, but no similar to mine or that it decided my problem
Somebody could help me?
Obs:I am brasilian and my English no is good!
Sorry!

Hi Vitor,
May be this will help
1) Setting the DISPLAY variable using script or in cell by issuing,
setenv DISPLAY=<machine name>:0.0
or
export DISPLAY=<machine name>:0.0
where <machine name> is the IP or name of the machine that has a graphics server process running, like X11.
If you migrate your aplication to a different server, maybe the fonts put on the /fonts directory won't work fine...
Sample:
setenv DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 export DISPLAY
results in setting this variable for only that script process or for the cell with the local scope.
Use the xhost + command to make this variable to global scope with above.
The link has many workarounds

Can't connect to the BlackBerry World server

It says "BlackBerry World is having trouble connecting to the BlackBerry World server. Verify your network connections and try again."
I have recently updated my BlackBerry Playbook. It's.been like this for weeks now.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The Playbook can only do updates with WiFi, or if it is a 4G it will do the updates over the mobile network.
If the Playbook does not update, try a re-start. Also check if your router is allowing WiFi access to the net.
If you did an operating system update, you may have to go the Identification and re-enter the Playbook's ID and password to allow access for updates and backups to work. The ID is in the main system menu listing.
