Cannot Connect to Apple Servers

I first noticed this problem when I tried to watch trailers on Apple's QuickTime page and I got a white question mark superimposed over the QuickTime logo. I figured it was a codec issue, so I tried to reinstall the program and it still didn't work. I tried to check for updates and it said that it could not establish a connection to the QuickTime Software server. Since the program works fine playing offline files and I can play .mov files embedded in non-Apple sites, I figure that the problem is not with the software, but with the server. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Just to update, I also installed iTunes, and that program won't connect to the online store.

    You need to first disable your antivirus and security programs and see if you can load the itunes store then. If so you know its antivirus blocking you.
    Secondly due to xmas the itunes store is seeing a HUGE amount of people who got new ipods and/or gift cards. Yes Im sure apple tried to prepare for this but they can only estimate how many extra people they will have. Also SOME ISPs in local areas are limiting access for there costomers to the itunes store to save on overloads on there servers. Far as all this goes (If this is why your not able to connect) it should normalize after new years when people go back to work and school. Seems alot of people post about this issue during peak times which are normally between 8pm and around 10 pm when most people are on

  • IPhone update:  "Cannot connect to Apple Server"

    First time I got that message when I tried to update the iPhone software!   iTunes works fine, all downloads and updates.  Used the iTunes connectivity tests, all worked fine.  My security software and all setting haven't changed.  Nothing's changed.  Sync works fine.  When I plugged in my iPhone and started iTunes, it said an update is available, but then when I click update, it tries to connect to the server but then I get the message "cannot connect to apple server."  Help!  Thx

    I disagree with the above two posts.  It is probably the same issue as  described here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17784700#17784700
    Try adjusting the DNS servers on your PC to 8.8.8.8 and then trying it.

    get error message when trying to sync iphone to puter that says"cannot connect because apple mobile divise is not started? what do i do?

    Restart your computer and the iPhone. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

  • HT5457 When Open passbook in my iPhone 4S and tapped on the App Store it says cannot connect to apple iTunes Store. What am I doing wrong?

    I updated my iPhone 4S with the new iOs 6. It was successfully installed, but when I open passbook app and tapped App Store I get this message saying cannot connect to apple iTunes Store . What did I do wrong?

    Try connecting to your Mac or PC and using iTunes to sync your iPhone. Disconnect your iPhone after syncing, make sure in Settings>iTunes&AppStore you have your Apple ID and password entered, and launch App Store and sign in. It should work now, but do not sign out from App Store. There seems to be a bug that prevents us from signing in again after signing out.

  • I cannot connect my apple trackpad to my iMac using Mavericks.

    Ok, I am reading A LOT of issues with Mavericks. I am tempted toi go back to lion or snow leapord. This is shameful on Apple's part. Safari is unuseable. hard drives drop on setstart
    And now I cannot connect my apple track pad. No matter what I do, It will not connect. I have read re-installing the OS will work, which means I have to re-install everytghing. Not happy. At this rate I might as well run windows 8.

    um... having to update most of the system software is still incredibly time consuming, and I already did it once. Problem persists. Mavericks is fail. Period. The ONLY thing that made paying the premium for a mac WAS the OS. Now? Taking this heap back tomorrow and getting a PC. If I have to trouble shoot this much it would be better if I save money and can play games. Apparently with the death of Jobs so to does the OS die.

  • IPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server?

    using iPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server? (Friends iPad otherwise couldn't post!)

    Many thanks for contacting me Carolyn. However the wifi was working fine and I found the solution from this posting:

    So resetting the iPad by holding down the Home and Sleep buttons together to reset it did the job.

  • Cannot connect to hamachi servers

    I try to connect to the servers I uninstall and install three times but it still does not work and I cannot connect to the servers while my friends can pls help

    The activation servers are probably overloaded with everyone trying to update to iOS 7 today.  You might need to wait and try again later. 

  • Can't Connect to Apple Servers

    Cant connect to Apple Servers. Can't use iCloud, iTunes Radio, App Store, iTunes Store, FaceTime, iMessage on my iPad Mini Not even Apple's Website Help

    You may be connected to your Wi-Fi network but is your modem supplying internet data to the Wi-Fi router?
    Can you use Safari to browse the web? If you can't, you should look into rebooting (power-cycling) BOTH the modem and the router. If they are separate devices, power on the modem 1st and allow it to stabilize ~60 seconds or so. Next power on the router and allow it to stabilize for ~60 seconds as well. Try again.
    If both the modem and router are in one device, simply power-cycle that device.

  • Hi, My problem is I cannot connect my apple tv to my account, the user name and password are definitely correct, I upgraded the software, reset the device, but no chance. What should I do?

    Hi, My problem is I cannot connect my apple tv to my account, the user name and password are definitely correct, I upgraded the software, reset the device, but no chance. What should I do?

    Try this:
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings  (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

  • Trying to restore iPad and cannot connect to apple with iPad, is Apple's site down?

    I have erased my iPad and am trying to restore. However the device will not connect with apple via network or iTunes. I suspect Apples website is down since I cannot get past the initial user setup screen. Is anyone aware if Apple's server is having issues in this regard?

    Hi..
    Servers are not down..
    If the iPad isn't recognized in iTunes and you are using a Windows based computer, try here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    And try turning off your router for a few minutes, then turn it back on.

  • TS1363 I have udated my OS to 6.1.3 and now I cannot connect to Apple via my Iphone 4

    I am havng a problem connecting to Itunes via my mobile phone since I updated to OS 6.1.3 It states 'Cannot connect to Itunes store and there is just an OK button which when pressed just returns me to the main screen. Any suggestions on what has gone wrong and how I can rectify it..... very simple explanations please I am not a technical person... so step by step please.....

    Problem has most likely nothing to do with update of the phone and assiciated with something blocking your connection to secure servers in Itunes.
    Try to use that article
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Support - Apple
    To add to what you see in there, I also found helpful to "reset all settings" and to switch date and time couple years in advance and then back.

  • HT4623 upgrading to ios 7, cannot connect to apple store to activate iphone

    My iphone 5 is connected to my windows 8 PC running the latest version of iTunes. The PC has no connectivity problems. But my iPhone cannot connect to the iTunes store to activate the recentely upgraded phone (to IOS 7). There have been a number of error messages. The latest was as follows:
    "We could not complete youre iTunes Store request. And unknown error occured (0x80090304).
    There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later"
    This has been going on for over an hour.
    Is this just an issue with too many people trying to activate at the same time? Which implies that this SHOULD work later. Or is there a problem specific to my phone/software?

    Same problem here. Getting used to the idea I probably won't have use of my phone for the rest of the day. My mistake was attempting to eject a USB drive as the software was upgrading on the iPhone (4s). Immediately received an error message and was forced to select Restore iPhone as my only option. After Restore successfully completed getting the phone to factory settings with ios7 loaded, the activation process began. This is where the nightmare took over. Activation needs to contact the Apple Servers via iTunes Store apparently. So, yeah, gonna have to wait until the US is asleep tonight to get through, in all likelihood. Would have been nice had Apple posted a clearer warning to disconnect all other peripherals during upgrade. But with Jobs now dead, there's not as much interest in attempting to simulate how users might break the system before public release. Ah well. Nothing for it now but to wait.
