Can't finish upgrade on atv, when verifying with iTunes says cannot connect to update server. Help!

When upgrading my atv I can't seem to connect to the apple update server. Wondering if I. Need to change my host file and if so how do I do that?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

Can't connect to iTunes Store
Have you tried rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again - or temporarily disabling your firewall or anti virus software?
Restart or reset the iPad?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Can't connect to Update Server - help!

I un-installed and re-installed Snow Leopard, but now I can't connect to the update server, or even re-install properly from a Time Machine backup. When I try it says the updates can't be saved or can't connect to the update server - check your internet connection, but my connection is definitely working as I have contacted my ISP. I have tried verifying and repairing disk permissions, and some other stuff I have read on other support sites.
Please help me, thanks in advance.

Photosmart 5510 printer model #B111A when using touchscreen apps i cannot connect to the server

Photosmart 5510 all-in-one printer, model #B111A, windows XP----i can print from the computer, but when i try to use the apps on the touchscreen i get a message error "cannot connect to the computer"

The steps below typically resolve the issue you’re experiencing:
1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the back of your router (and modem, if separate from the router).
3. Wait 20 seconds, then plug the router (and modem, if applicable) back in.
4. Wait 30 seconds, then plug the printer back in and power it on.
5. Press the ePrint button on the printer's front panel, and it should try to connect to Web Services again.
Those steps usually resolve the issue, but if it still occurs you can try setting static network info for the printer (which sometimes helps to stabilize the printer's ability to get outside of your network, to the internet):
1. Press the wireless icon at the top of the printer's screen and note the IP address.
2. Enter the IP address into the address bar of a web browser on a computer and press enter or click the browser's go button.
3. The printer status page should be opened. Click on Network at the top.
4. Click on Networking on the left.
5. Select Proxy Settings.
Note: If you are prompted for a redirect, select OK. If you receive a certificate warning, select the option that lets you continue anyway.
If you receive a Internal System Error, refresh the page until it loads the proxy settings.
6. Verify that all fields are blank. If they are not, clear them and make sure the Proxy Server requires authentication is unchecked and click apply. You should get a success message.
7. Click on Network Address (IP) on the left.
Note: If you only see IP Address Configuration and DNS Address Configuration with a yellow note, refresh the page until it loads completely.
8. Leave the IP Address Configuration as Automatic IP.
9. Change DNS Address Configuration to Manual DNS server.
10. Enter 8.8.8.8 for the Manual Preferred DNS Server and 8.8.4.4 for the Manual Alternate DNS Server.
11. Click Apply and you should get a success message.
12. Power off the printer for 30 seconds and then turn it back on to force the new settings to take effect.

I have rented a film on iTunes using my iPad but when it reaches the download stage I get an error message saying cannot connect to the server.

Error regarding server connection problems when trying to download rented film on my ipad

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

Tv Show Purchased on ATV, when synced with iTunes wrongly removed from ATV

I have a Season Pass for Family Guy. Every new episode, when I sync the Apple TV - the new episode gets copied to the Mac and is removed!!! from the Apple TV - in contradiction to the checkmark I have on the option "Include Episodes from Playlists:" - "Purchased on Apple TV"
I bought the Season on the Apple TV.
The new show automatically downloads to the Apple TV.
I can start watching the new episode.
When iTunes starts the sync, it does not know about the new episode. But checks for Purchased/New content.
Finds and begins copying the new episode to Mac.
The new episode is no longer on the Apple TV.
I must check the new episode name, and Sync again,
and wait for the episode to copy back,
It was already there, shouldnt need to copy it back.
Please give me the option to say "Dont take it off the ATV" or obey that inclusion checkmark when the new episode is discovered to have been purchased on the ATV. "Include Episodes from Playlists:" - "Purchased on Apple TV"

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
The tv is doing what it should, sorry it's not fully clear whether you realise that and whether your post contained a question or just the suggestion at the end.
I think your 'Don't take it off the tv' suggestion is really good, so let  know about it.

Why Does Safari repeatedly give me messages that say: "cannot connect to the server.......not connected to the internet" when I am, in fact actually connected

I get repeated messages in Safari:
Cannot open page because:
1) cannot find server - "mymsn.com"
2) not connected to the internet
I am, in fact, connected because I can go to another URL and it will open.

It is saying that it cannot open the page for one of the 2 following reasons.
1) cannot find server - "mymsn.com"
2) not connected to the internet
If 2 is incorrect then it must for reason 1
Try MSN.com instead.

Can't setup the Web Services as printer says "cannot connect to the server to get the update"

Just purchased and am setting up my HP Officejet pro 8600. It has set-up wirelessly without a hitch until I tried to install/enable the web services and I continue to get a message saying "the printer could not connect to the server" therefore it cannot check for an update on Web Services apps and they will not be enabled. Never had so much trouble setting up an HP printer in the past. Looks like this web services is more of a headache and a gimmick to sell this printer.

Hi Guys,
I found the solution after 2 days.
Open internet explorer and type in the IP address of the printer in the address bar then press enter.
The embedded web server of the printer should pull up.
C. Click the network tab near the top.
On the left side, click IPv4 under your connection type, wireless or wired.
D. Change the IP address from automatic to manual.
Enter the same IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask.
Enter 8.8.8.8 for the primary dns and 8.8.4.4 for the secondary then click apply.
E. After the apply button has been clicked to apply the static IP settings, enable Web Services.
Good luck

Cleartune has updates available, but I keep getting a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store" all other updates work just fine? The one app I paid for is the one that for some reason will not work. How can I upgrade without buying it again?

I loaded cleartune a while back, there are upgrades/updates available, which I'm trying to load. When I choose update, it asks for my password, which I provide and I get a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store" I have many other apps I've loaded and upgraded just fine. However this one, the one I actually wanted bad enough to pay for, is wanting me to delete it and buy another copy. How can I update Cleartune without buying it again?

Hi all,
This is a very interesting situation. I did try to update one of my apps within itunes as was suggested. That worked !!
But then I noticed that I had 2 different logins that I must have created over the years. I almost forgot. I have a apple ID and an AOL ID. It seems that I purchased (actually they are all free) some apps with one ID and other apps with the other ID. I must have done this by accident.
So when I log out of one of the IDs on my Touch and then log in with the other ID, I can update the apps.
It seems that something changed on Apple's servers. It seems that until recently I was able to update free apps regardless of what ID I originally bought them with. Now it seems that's not the case. Apple must check this now.
Now that I know what the issue is, I'll make sure I use one ID all the time.
Thanks,
Steve

You can try going to Mail>the accounts>Advanced and turn Use SSL on or off, the opposite of what it is now.
