Certificate of email server is invalid

I have a Verify Certificate pop up on my iMac computer. I cannot close this pop up window. I am unable to quit email. I clicked on an email link yesterday and now I can't close the email form that is trying to connect to my email server. My desktop is becoming cluttered with windows I can't close and email I can't quit. What do I do.  This became an issue after a recent update. Suggestions?

Hey Icaywood,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you computer is becoming unresponsive due to this pop up window. Let’s try force quitting all applications and restarting your computer:

  • Verification Failed. The certificate for this server is invalid

    I am trying to backup my iPad to iCloud.  I get:
    Verification Failed.  The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "setup.icloud.com" which could put your confidential information at risk.
    I am logged onto the wifi at work and I can surf the Internet so the connection is OK.
    How do I begin to debug this issue?

    Hey everyone,
    I had this issue for few months already! I have a @me.com mail address, theoretically should be compatible with iCloud, just for some reason, it's not working!!
    The mail all work fine on my macbook and iPhone, just the ipad kept showing the error message, the "verification failed".
    The internet is wi-fi and it all working fine.
    Now here is the solution.
    Make sure you got internet connected fine.
    Go Setting --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> Add Account --> Other
    --> Add Mail Address -->
    in the description, it will auto showing "Me", don't change it!
    Go "Next" -->
    in the Incoming Mail Server
    Host Name --> Type "imap.mail.me.com"
    Then your user name and password
    in the Outgoing Mail Server
    Host Name --> Type "smtp.mail.me.com"
    Then your user name and password
    Then next and save it.
    This should work, it works for me,
    Hope this helps!!

  • Xcode - "The certificate for this server is invalid"

    Hi,
    I'm trying to log into my Xcode Server (with it's own self-signed certificate) from my work iMac, I receive the following message:
    "The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “[server name]” which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the server anyway?"
    The only option is "OK" which just prompts the login screen again, it doesn't allow me to "connect anyway".  How do I get around this? :/

    What account are you trying to access? Skype or some other site and you are being redirected to Skype?

  • Verification failed certificate for this server is invalid

    I attempt to log into the iCloud on my iPod over a WiFi connection and it gives me the Verification Failed. The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "setup.icloud.com" which could put your confidential information at risk.
    Why am I getting this and how can I access the iCloud to backup my files?

    This happened to me because my router was configured to use Open DNS servers (Primary 208.67.222.222, Secondary 208.67.220.220). Temporarily adjusting the DNS settings on the router to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 did the trick. Open DNS does weird things with certain certificates. Even if your router is configured to used something else, try the ones listed above to see if it makes a difference.

  • My 4th generation iPod Touch won't let me get on to the App Store. When I log on to iTunes, an alert pops up that says the certificate for the server is invalid, and that it may be a server pretending to be iTunes. What should I do?

    My iPod won't let me on to the App Store, and whenever I go on to ITunes, an alert pops up that the certificate for the server is invalid, and that I may be connecting to a server that is only pretending to be iTunes.apple.com and my personal info may be at risk. I downloaded an emulator yesterday from coolroms.com but deleted the app this afternoon. I cleared my safari search data, my cookies and data, and web inspector, which still didn't work. I then proceeded to reset my iPod and then download the newest version of IOS 6.1.5 but yet still am having problems. Also to the App Store and iTunes, several other apps aren't working. Any help here?

    Also, when I go on to safari, another alert pops up that safari cannot verify the identity of the website, anything that I type in to as common as google.com. It gives me 3 options to either cancel, look at details, and continue. I've looked at the details of the website of Google and it is legitimate the site. Any help?

  • The certificate for this server is invalid

    Hi can anyone help?  I get a message "cannot connect to iTunes Store" when selecting App Store on my iPod.  Also if I try iTunes icon, I get "the certificate for this server is invalid.  You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "itunes.apple.com" which could put your confidential information at risk"
    The steps I have taken so far, - connected to PC and updated software to iOS 6.1.3 (worked fine on PC)
    Checked WiFi connection (fine)
    Checked other apple products are working fine (yes)
    Checked i am logged into apple id (yes)
    Is there anything else I'm missing ??
    Thanks aliian

    Thanks to those contributing this fix -- had this issue on my son's iPad mini and was going crazy trying to figure it out!!
    To answer the question of why this causes an issue: this is part of the standard security features of the internet - when you connect securely to a server (as the i-devices do when accessing itunes), it has an SSL Certificate which has an expiry date on it -- the device checks the certificate to try and make sure you aren't getting duped by an out of date certificate, and if your date is set too far in the future (my son's was in 2019!) then it looks like the expiry date is in the past and it won't let you connect..
    Cheers!

  • What does it mean when you get the notification certificate for this server is invalid

    What does the following mean -the certificate for this server is invalid?

    Hi, Knaresborough. 
    I would recommend checking the date and time on the computer side as this can be the cause of the issue if not set correctly.  However, here are some helpful troubleshooting articles if the issue persists.

  • Why does my iPod 4th generation say the certificate for this server is invalid when trying to access iTunes? I've never had an issue until this recently.

    I have never had an issue until recently that won't allow me to go onto the App Store or iTunes on my iPod touch 4th gen. It says the certificate for this server is invalid. Then it says, you might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be iTunes.apple.com which could put your confidential information at risk. How can I fix this so I can access iTunes and the App Store from my iPod again?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
