Connection to iTunes server computer problem...
My wi-fi network is running just fine but after the ATV is off and I go to use it again the next morning it will not connect to my server which is broadcasting the iTunes account. I have to log onto my server and close and restart iTunes. My server is set to never shut down and is set to awake from any sleep approx 30 minutes before I would usually use the ATV in the morning. I am running OS Lion on all computers and OS Lion Server on a Mac Mini Server. Once I restart iTunes every morning the connection and speed work great. Has anyone experienced this problem or does anyone have a resoluiton or sugestion...help?
My household is running...

Jake,
I have been experiencing the same issue. If either my MBP goes to sleep or my ATV goes to sleep, then when I subsequently try to play content, the ATV says "There are no TV shows in this library". To get things moving again, I can either restart iTunes or power cycle the ATV.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be very much appreciated.
Cheers.

I have a problem connecting to the server (SSL problem) on my new Apple Ipad (iOS6). When submitting my Apple ID password, I am prevented from signing in to a secure connection due to an SSL problem. Any suggestions ?? Thank you!
Sounds more like you have a problem with your apple id. For starters go to that page click manage my apple id and singn in. If you can't sign in reset password.
https://appleid.apple.com
if you can sign in there, try to sign in to itunes on your computer. -
I tried changing my password, and it changed to one that wasnt it, and i dont know it. So i tried it too many times and now its saying it is disabled, connect to itunes. but a problem is that my power button on top is broken. how to i fix it?
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

I tried to use iCloud to restore but she never set up iCloud. I tried to wipe it with find my iPhone but she never set that up. I put the iPod into recovery mode and connected it to an iTunes account on a different computer but it does not pick up the iPod. When I connect it to iTunes not in recovery mode it says to unlock the iPod before it can connect to iTunes. I don't know where to go from here besides blowing it up or putting it in a microwave. Please help. Thank you.

IDevices Periodically Lose Connection to iTunes Server
Periodically, our Apple TVs and iOS devices seem to lose "knowledge" of our iTunes server. This has worked fairly reliably in the past, but seems more problematic now (I'm not sure if this is due to Yosemite or some other update). There have been no changes in our network.
I am a senior-level IT systems engineer. Here is a relevant description of our simple home network:
Network:
Time Capsule 3TB: Main router on upper floor
iMac 5k (connected via ethernet, though Wi-fi is also enabled as a secondary connection)
DHCP with manual IP address so it doesn't change every 24 hours (set on both Ethernet and Wi-fi)
Set to wake for network access
Firewall enabled, but iTunes connections are allowed (tried disabling firewall entirely to no benefit)
iTunes always running.
External USB drive for iTunes library storage; this does take a bit to spin up and sometimes the VNC connection to the iMac can timeout when trying to connect, but it always works on the second try. I wish Apple would increase that timeout; seems to be a measly 5 seconds or so. I don't think this is a cause of problems because, for example, the iOS devices don't even see the "Shared" icon, the display of which does not wake up the iMac.
Airport Express (N version), lower floor, connected via ethernet to the time capsule.
This is used as a network extender, operating in bridge mode with no network filtering.
Apple TV (3rd generation), connected to Airport Express via ethernet
When Home Sharing is working, the Apple TV and iOS devices can all connect just fine to the iTunes library running on the iMac. This is true even when the iMac goes to sleep after 15 minutes. It can work for several hours, but at some point the devices simply lose sight of the iTunes library on the iMac. This is not supposed to happen because of an Apple service called Bonjour Sleep Proxy. This runs on Apple TV and Time Capsule/Airport devices, and it wakes up the server you are requesting. I thought perhaps the IP lease was expiring on the iMac, but setting a static IP didn't help.
I have more issues with iOS devices than I do with Apple TV. Quitting and re-launching iTunes doesn't seem to help iOS devices. EITHER restarting the iMac OR restarting the Time Capsule will resolve the issue (causing the Shared button to show up on the iOS device) temporarily, but it's guaranteed to happen again a day later.
I haven't tested setting the iMac to never sleep, but I will. This is not a long-term solution, though-- I'm not going to leave a $4k iMac running non-stop 24 x 7, sucking in all the dust it can. I also haven't tested putting all devices on the same subnet, but this shouldn't be needed-- Bonjour Sleep Proxy will even work over the internet, around the world. Unfortunately I can't easily test that, as the Apple TV/Airport Express is downstairs and the iMac/TimeCapsule are upstairs. However, it doesn't matter whether the iOS devices are connected downstairs or upstairs. When it's working it works on both WiFi basestations, and when it doesn't work it doesn't work on both.
Any ideas?A small number of users have reported having to keep their Macs from sleeping. Can't say why and most of us don't have to so it does seem to be something specific to set up.

After updating ipod touch to iOS 5 it doesn't connect to itunes (or computer) any more.
After updating my ipod touch 4G to iOS 5 it doesn't connect to itunes (or my computer) at all.
itunes shows an error. I can't turn it on or off either. i can only see the black screen with the apple while it's (aparently) working.
my itunes is the latest version, that shouldn't be the problem.
can anyone help me?!The updating on the iPod only is a feature of iOS 5. yu first have to connect to your syncing computer and upadate to iOS 5. After that you can do subsequent updating via wifi without a computer.

Can't connect to itunes server
we downloaded an itunes software upgrade last week and since then cannot connect to the itunes server. Connection to the internet is fine though. We searched the entire apple website and found no help to our problem. Finding a phone number to call was a challenge to say the least. No 24/7 tech support. Does anyone know how to fix? Thanks.
SharonI too am having the same problem. I can access the Music Store, internet via IE, but can't update my iPod. The error message is "iTunes could not contact the ipod softare update server because you are not connected to the internet." But i am connected (see, i was able to post a reply - got to the internet somehow.

Iphone wont connect to iTunes or computer wont connect to iPhone?
Either my Iphone wont connect to itunes or my computer wont connect to iphone! My computer makes an unusual noise as I plug in a apple device, This wont let itunes pick up my devices. I have gone though all the proceedures online in which have failed. But when uninstalling Itunes, Apple mobile device was deleted in which then windows recognised my iphone and it started to charge which it did not do when I previously plugged it in. Just wondering if anyone has had similar problems and knows how to help?? Thanks
I'd look at these options

It that fails,
DFU mode[1] is a state that you can put your iPhone into where it can interface with iTunes but does not load the iPhone operating system or boot loader (this is what really differs DFU mode from recovery mode). DFU stands for Device Firmware Update.
While connected to PC, running iTunes, hold down Home and Power( button on upper right edge) button for exactly 8 seconds.
Release the power button. Restore message will appear in iTunes. The device will be recognized by iTunes, but no display will appear on the device itself. The lack of a display on the device will verify that it is in dfu mode.

Against my better judgement, I let iTunes update my ipad with the 5.1.1 IOS. After the download was complete, the iPad showed the Connect to Itunes screen and the device wasn't showing in my iTunes so I unplugged the USB. Now the iPad is stuck on the Connect to iTunes screen. I have tried doing the system restore trick, and that looks like it works when the Apple logo shows up, but right after that it goes back to the Connect to iTunes screen. I tried just plugging it back into my computer and connecting it to iTunes but now neither iTunes nor my computer recognizes the device. The iPad will not go to any other screen and will not even power off, just stays on the Connect to iTunes screen. I live 300+ miles from the nearest Apple store so going in is not really an option. I would appreciate any help that would keep me from throwing this thing against the wall.
Dear Diavonex,
I have a similar issue, I tried doing the restore, but now the computer is unable to recognize the ipad. Itunes does not detect the ipad. The ipad works but not able to sync with the computer.
Checking on the device manager of windows 7, it shows that there is an unknown device with no driver for it. How to get a driver for the same? Any suggestions? -
