Could not contact Primary Server

Got this message when updating Sophos Home Edition for Mac:
Could not contact Primary Server. URL Error: 3 July 2015
Mac OS X 10.10.4
Sophos Home Edition 9.2.4
As I'm in Australia and this is first report for 3rd July, am thinking this may be a cloud error with Sophos infrastructure.
If not, there's something else amiss... have cleared cache and restarted.

Hope this helps. Richards-iMac:~ richarddahl$ ping dci.sophosupd.com

"Reader could not contact the server to complete the request" error

While trying to tranfer a document into pdf format I have suddenly received the above error - "Reader could not contact the server to complete the request" I have already transfered three or four documents today, but now am suddenly receiving this error. I have tried rebooting my server to check for issues on my end but it is fine. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi there,
Here are some suggestions you can try:
a) Ensure your internet connection is available and try again.
b) If you are using an older version of Reader, try installing the latest (Reader XI) and try again.
c) Log into the web app (createpdf.acrobat.com) and click on Convert to PDF on the right hand pane and try converting to PDF from there.

My itunes store is saying that it could not contact the server, it says i need to restore my ipod but when i go to restore it, it says the server could not be contacted or something. what does this mean?

okay so last night i went to charge my ipod in the computer and it started working then i took it out of the computer and put it on a wall charger and it had a spasm attack and shut itself down, after that it said i had to connect it to itunes so when i did it kept telling me that i need to restore my ipod, but when i press restore the itunes said "the contact server is not avalible" or something similar to that, what does that actually mean and is there anyway i can fix my ipod. i have dropped my ipod a few times, on tiles, wood, in a gutter of water when it fell out my pocket but im also wondering is it something to do with my ipod or is it itunes?

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
The abuse may prevent a restore or prevent proper operation of the iPod if you can restore the iPod.

ITunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet...???

Ok I’m completely lost here....
I’m running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (Build 2600), I updated iTunes to 11.0.2.25 and some other updates for windows last night on my laptop. I try connecting to download the iOS 6.1.2 update for my iPhone 4 and my iPhone 5 via iTunes. I am getting this message for both "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again." Everything was fine with connecting prior to running these updates because I downloaded the 6.1 update with no problems when it came out.
What I have done so far with which has made no difference:
Checked my internet connection
Changed my internet connection
Signed out of iTunes and then signed back in
Ran diagnostics via iTunes, comes back with: Network interfaces verified- Internet connection failed- Secure link to iTunes store verified
          Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
          Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
          Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
          Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
          Connection attempt to firmware update server was successful.
          Connection attempt to Gracenote server was successful.
          Last successful iTunes Store access was 2013-02-20 20:40:48.
Disabled firewall, spy sweeper, virus scanner
start>run>cmd> typed "netsh winsock reset"
Rebooted
Checked the parental controls in iTunes
Start>control panel>internet options>connections tab> lan settings> selected the "automatically detect settings"
Deleted iTunes and reinstalled iTunes
When I would "ping gs.apple.com" it would come back with "request timed out" no matter what internet connection I was on, so I went into the hosts file start>my computer>(C:)>WINDOWS>system32>drivers>ect>HOSTS and added "#     127.0.0.1     gs.apple.com". Now it will ping gs.apple.com just fine but still comes up with the "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet" message in iTunes when i try to download the update.
If anyone can come up with any ideas that I haven’t tried, please let me know. This is keeping me back from updating both of my phones along with if anything should ever happen to them; restores as well.

im computer is connected i can go to the apple store through itunes but when i plug my phone in i keep getting that alert... i plugged my phone in to update it after the apple loaded the itunes icon and a usb showed up.

ITunes could not contact the iPod software update server

I am a teacher managing many iPod touches.
I am trying to update the ipod software to version 3.1.3 but using my macbook (10.5.8) I cannot reach the update server and a I get the following error - "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server". I am connected to the internet, I can access the iTunes store no problem.
Using my windows XP laptop I can access the update server and I am using the same network ID and the same proxy settings.
Any ideas?

Forget the wireless modem part of the question. I tried plugging directly into my pc and still have the same problem...very frustrating!

"itunes could not contact the ipod software update server because you are not connected to the internet" Help?

Hello all, new to the forums.
I've been recieving the error message "itunes could not contact the ipod software update server because you are not connected to the internet". This problem didn't occur at all for the past 2 years of using itunes.
I've already scanned through numerous websites and forums for help, but none of them worked.
This set of instructions resulted in no change to any of the problems, though iTunes lists that as the supposed solution.
# Open Internet Options from control panel.
# Click the Connections tab.
# Click the LAN Settings button.
# Select the Automatically detect settings checkbox.
Others include installing IE7, which that didn't work either.
Can anyone help?

Error while trying to upgrade my iPhone, message reads "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server beecause your are not connected to the internet.

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade my iOS to version 5 but receive the message noted below ("iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet"). I click update on iTunes. My internet works fine. Does anyone know what may be causing this error?

Try disabling firewall and virus scanning software

Itunes could not contact iPod update server ...not connected to internet

Please help. I have: Win XP Pro, SP2; itunes 7.0.1.8. iPod ver. 1.1 5G Video iPod. Am getting error: "itunes could not contact the iPod update server because you are not connected to the Internet."
But I am connected to the internet, and can download podcasts and access itunes store. But I cannot download ipod ver. 1.2, and thus I assume this is the reason that I am getting incomplete syncs on video podcasts.
I have followed the Apple site's recommendation to ensure the LAN settings button is set to "Automatically Detect Settings" but I still get the error.
I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it again; still getting error. I have disabled my firewall; still no luck.
I welcome any help, please!! Thanks.

replying to dave2007
I have been trying for 3 hours to make this work -- I've checked the box and tried; unchecked the box; rechecked, rebooted and tried ... you get the picture.
hmmmm.
by any chance, are you using a proxy? in the context of Store connections, i've seen a problem with a proxy cause a connection issue, even though the network diagnostics looked perfectly clean.
working on that theory, if you are using a proxy perhaps try the techniques from this document:
iTunes for Windows can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect
or perhaps just try to see if the connection to the update server goes through if you if you try this without the proxy.

But i checked my internet on both my pc and iphone and tried again but it still says the same thing. plzz plzz help

Were you definitely connected to the internet at the time? If you don't have iOS 5 on your iPhone then the only way to update it would be via iTunes, once updated to the latest version of iOS you'll be able to update your iPhone without connecting to iTunes "over-the-air".
Before updating however it goes without saying to Backup your iPhone, this should happen by default upon connecting your iPhone to iTunes.

HT201210 My partner updated iphone 5, and it now shows 'Connect to iTunes'. Then we get 'iTunes could not contact iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet'. Please help.

iPhone 5 was updated (version unknown), and now screen shows 'Connect to iTunes. When we try to do this, we get message 'iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet'.
Please tell me how I fix this problem.
Thanks

Yes, the reason you are getting the error is the phone cannot provide internet for the laptop and then update itself. It would lose connection as you erase the firmware and try to update. You need to connect the computer to the Internet in some other fashion before you connect the phone to try and fix the update problem. As Ocean20 says, and I completely agree, how would you think you could use the Internet connection of a device that is not only going to turn off and on, but is going to get completely wiped of firmware and restored? It would completely remove the device from the equation here. Does that make sense to you?

TS1814 what about if I have a mac but am experiencing the same prompt? "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the Internet. Make sure your Internet connection is active and try again."
