Can't get "secure connection" to iTunes...

iTunes is up to date. PC is up to date. I am logged in to iTunes. I can look through iTunes all I want. But when I want to download an item, it says that iTunes was not able to establish a secure connection, and to check my computer's date and time. Date and time are correct. Any ideas?

I am having this problem also. Got a work around until iTunes store fixes the problem. Go into your internet explorer options, advanced tab and select "restore advance settings". After doing this close all instances of IE you have open and iTunes. Then reopen IE and iTunes. If you try to download from the iTunes store you'll get the 9808 error. Go back into IE Options, advanced tab and under Security unclick "check for server certificat revocation". Then hit OK and close IE and iTunes. Then reopen iTunes and you can now download. However, a short time later when you try to connect you'll get the "unable to setup a secure connection" error and have to repeat this fix again.
Hopefully they'll get this fixed soon. Must be their security certificates causing the problem.

Installed 5 on can't get past connect to iTunes screen

I downloaded update to itunes, then plugged in phone to sync. i get to the screen that says "connect to itunes" and the little wheels go around but then stop after a while - can't get further than that screen.

Ohh and it's only about a month old and it's a iPhone 4.

Won't display main menu, even after holding on/off and home buttons simultaneously. Can't get beyond "connect to iTunes " which I can't do anyway.

After several days of inactivity iPad won't display main screen. When I first turned in on, it asked for a four digit passcode. I never had a four digit passcode. After entering "incorrect" passcode, it told me I could try again in 60 minutes. That was day one. Since then, it displays "connect to iTunes" which I can't do. I've tried holding on/off and homebuttons simultaneously. "connect to iTunes" keeps coming up. I'm stuck on that commmand.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Can't get passed connect to itunes?

i bought my iphone4 from a friend and it had the connect to itunes. so i connect it and itunes didnt recgonized my phone so i put it in recovery mode and plugged it back in. ok so i restored my phone and it updated my phone then on the computer it said sorry it couldnt activate at the time so i unplugged it and it said select language (selected english) went to select country (selected united states) then went to connect to itunes. i see the time, battery thing on the top and it says serching even with my sim card in. can somebody help me out PLEASE

Well then, I suggest you find a competent repair shop. It's no longer an iPhone. iPhones are not user servicable. Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. Apple won't touch that phone any more.
If I had to guess, I'd say the original problem was caused by the fact that it was physically broken.

Can't get passed "Connect to iTunes" Screen after removing phone from bag of rice.

My phone recently had water damage, so I put it in rice for 2 days and then plugged it in. It showed the black screen with the apple symbol and then shut down and did this about 12 times. I put it back in the rice, and after taking it out after a few hours, it boot up normally to my "unlock" screen but then went to a screen saying to hook it up to iTunes. I then restored the phone to where it said it was complete but then it asked me to restore it again. I did that, and now it says it is unable to restore because of error. What should I do?

Ohh and it's only about a month old and it's a iPhone 4.

Can connect to iTunes, Safari, Google et etc. No issue with our wifi/network, we also have another iPad which fas no problem downloading apps.

Try syncing your iPad with your computer, that way it can update its version of iTunes.

Do you mean that iTunes doesn't recognize your phone when you plug it into your computer using the usb to dock cable? If so, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. (And yes, you need to use the usb to dock cable that came with your phone. If you dont' have it you'll have to buy another one.)

It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I keep getting the "connect to itunes" screen and have to restore my ipad. it will also drop the wifi connection every few mintues. what can be causing this?

I keep getting the "connect to itunes" screen and have to connect to itunes and do a restore on it. It will not pick up my ipad so I either have to do a restore or restore to new and it will work fine for a day or so except for dropping the wifi connection. What can be causing this? I have had this pad since January of this year and have not had any problems until recently.

If you have to keep restoring your iPad with iTunes repeatedly and there is no change after restoring as a new iPad or not from the iPad's backup, your iPad has a major problem - likely a hardware problem. The iPad includes a one year warranty. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

PLEASE HELP ME...!!!

Hi msahed,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue with your PC establishing a secure connection to the iTunes Store and the firmware update server. Try following along with the articles below, as they should resolve the issues that you described.
iTunes: About the "A secure network connection could not be established" alert
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1470
iTunes for Windows: iTunes can't contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

I hope this helps.

In Firefox version 37.0 getting Secure Connection Failed config parameter version.fallback-limit set to 3. Does this support TLS 1.0 .

In FF 37.0 getting secure connection failed connecting to a website. Works fine in previous version. Config parameter version.fallback-limit default setting is 3. In previous version the default setting was 1. Does the setting version.fallback-limit to 3 mean only TLS1.2 is supported. Any help is appreciated.
Secure Connection Failed
The connection to xxxx.xxx.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
Thx,

The website may try to fallback to TLS 1.0 in a way that is no longer allowed in current releases or may be using a deprecated cipher suite.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar and use its search bar to locate this pref:
*security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts
You can double-click the line to modify the pref and add the domain (full domain) to this pref.
If there are already websites (domains) in this list then add a comma and the new domain (no spaces).
You should only see domains separated by a comma in the value column.

HT4053 cant get iphone passbook to work get cant connect to itunes message

passbook does not work just get cant connect to itunes message

I found a fix to this somewhere else. I don't know why it works, but it does. If you go to your date/time settings, change it from automatic to manual, then change the year to 2013, when you open the passbook app it will work. After you've opened it successfully, you can go back and change your date back to automatic and the app will work correctly from then on.

Hello richvasmc,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Best of luck,
Mario
