HELP! I keep getting this message "network connection could not be established."

I just updated my iPhone 3GS but when I try it with my iPad 2, I keep getting this message, "There was a problem downloading the software for the "iPad". The network connection could not be established. Can anyone please tell me what to do? Thanks.

Cheryl and Hmariepugh-
The problem may be at Apple's end due to the large number of people trying to update at the same time. I suggest you keep trying. Perhaps it will be easier during early morning hours U.S. time, before 10 AM GMT.

Tried to copy a movie from my iTunes account to my iPhone and keep getting this message……. iTunes could not copy "L.A." to the iPhone "Michael's iPhone" because of a timeout occurred.

I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems.

And you're both in the wrong forum. This forum is for Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs. Try reading through the many threads on the issue in the iPhone and ITunes forums. You'll find suggestions for solving your problem there.

Why can't I open a pdf file on my desktop? I have Adobe Reader and running OS 10.10.1 I keep getting the same message: "Adobe Reader could not open '8pdk_96_4.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."

The indication is there is still an error in the settings or the mailserver is down. Please go thru the troubleshooting steps in that thread.
BTW: I would just ask if you would try getting Thunderbird, set it up for the email address that you are having trouble with, and see if it works. Thunderbird will tell you right off if there is a problem. It will verify and check the address and the settings before you are even done with the setup. Windows Mail is what was with Vista but disappeared when Windows 7 made it's debut.

Trying to update keep getting a message "the ipod software update server could not be contacted Network connection could not be established" using mac OSX. done this with 2 ipod touches??

trying to update 2 ipods but when I go through the process it says "The ipod software update server could not be contacted" "Network connection could not be established". One of the ipods is locked and I don't remember password.

Here's what you can do in case of the forgotten password:
Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

I keep getting the follow error messages when I try to sign into iTunes store or redeem a song code: We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again

I keep getting the following error messages on my Mac when I try to redeem a song code: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again later." and then, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

Hello, constance132.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when receiving error -50.
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X:  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista:  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7:  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" error message when trying to update my iPads and iPhone to iOS 5.1

I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" message when trying to update my iPad, iPad2 and iPhone4 devices using either my iMac or MacBook. The Macs and iOS devices are apparently working correctly otherwise. Problem started about a day ago when I connected one of the iPads to my iMac and iTunes notified my of an update for the device. I tried and got the above message. Tryied other iPad2 and iPhone4 and get the same message. Also, get same message when trying to update using the MacBook. My system SW is 10.7.3 on the iMac and 10.6.8 on MacBook. iTunes is version 10.6. Have gone thru the check list of things to check and have re-started. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

Another user named Springbk posted a fix that worked for me as I was having the same problem today:
I Changed my DNS settings to OpenDNS
On a Mac go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK>ADVACED>DNS
change DNS by adding ( + )
208.67.222.222
then
208.67.220.220
click okay/apply after. then try the update. after the update, just delete the two open DNS server numbers. should revert back to your old one.

Have not been able to update to iPhone softwareversion 5.1. I keep getting the message that the network connection could not be established even though I have been buying apps from iTunes all evening.

I have been trying to update my iPhone4s' software from version 5.0.1 to version 5.1. I continue to get a message from iTunes that a network connection could not be established. I was buying apps for my phone on my computer so I know that my connection is good. I clicked on Help in iTunes and had it to run a network diagnostic and all was good. Are the servers just jammed up with so many people trying to update to the newest software version? Thank you in advance for your time!
Sincerely,
PrettyinPinkInk

Cannot get on iMessage or FaceTime I get this message "FaceTime Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again

Try something really simple.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or try this. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Or try this as well. Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure it is set to On.
@Freckles888 ..... I really doubt that "millions of others" are having this problem. I think that news would be all over the airwaves and Apple would be taking more heat about it that we can imagine.

HT201210 when updating ipad get message saying "network connection could not be established"

When Trying to update IOS on my ipad I get message saying "network connection could not be Established" Getting real tired of this problem. first couldn't download itunes until I downloaded from non apple website now THIS. Really? Please help. About to go buy a droid tablet and throw this apple product in the garbage.

When I talked to My ISP they had me go to the settings on the new modem/router they installed and yes this is THEIR fault. NOT APPLE's The DNS was not set correctly. they gave me the numbers to put into the router and guess what all is working correctly. Thank you very much for directing me to the solution to this problem. I have been trying for almost a month to update iTunes (ended up going to a 3rd party web site to update) then I couldn't update the iPad. So very frustrating. Anyway my problem was NOT Apple's and I do apologize to them!
