  • ITunes Store Error Message: "network connection was reset"

    I've been having trouble connecting to the iTunes Store since Dec. 25, 2006. The last time I was able to connect to the site was Jan. 2, 2007!
    The error message that I have been receiving is: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection was reset."
    Here are the troubleshooting issues that I have already performed.
    1) Ensured that my internet connection was active.
    2) Checked to make sure Windows XP Service Pack Updates were compatible. No problems with the firewall detected.
    3) Have the latest version (7.02.16) of iTunes.
    4) iPod software is up to date.
    5) Ran iTunes diagnostics which states:
    Windows Firewall is on.
    iTunes is enabled in Windows Firewall.
    Connection attempt to Apple web site was unsuccessful.
    The network connection was reset.
    Connection attempt to iTunes Store was unsuccessful.
    The network connection was reset.
    Secure connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
    Does anyone have this problem? Can anyone recommend a solution that worked for them?

    PS: I also went into Internet Explorer...
    Selected Tools, selected Internet options, then selected Advanced Tab
    Then I looked for the security section and made sure that SSL 2.0 was selected.
    I was still unable to access iTunes Store.

  • Can't download software updates in iTunes - error message "network connection timed out"

    I'm unable to download software updates for my iTouch 4.1 in iTunes.  I have iTunes version 10.5, Windows 7.  i've tried numerous times in the past and always get the same error message.  I'm now experiencing problems with some of my apps. and I've attempted 4 times in the past 2 days to upload version 5.0. It goes thru the whole download (761.61 MB), says "processing file", then closes out and I get the following message:
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "xxxxx's iPod". The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are current and your network connection is active or try again later. Err = .3529." 
    I ran diagnostics and it said everything was fine. 
    Also not all the apps. on my iTouch are in my iTunes library even though I've synced my iTouch numerous times since I've purchased the apps. with my iTouch.  All the apps on my 2nd screen are on iTunes, but none of the apps. on my 3rd screen of my iTouch are in iTunes.

  • Error message "network connection reset" only affects one user

    I'm running 10.3.9 on a 400Mhz iMac. I have 3 users, myself and my 2 kids. When I try to access a web page using Safari on one of the kid's user accounts I get an error message saying that the server cannot be contacted because the "network connection has been reset", and says to try again later but never works. The odd part is that the other two user accounts can access web pages with no problem.
    I have checked my network settings, all user settings/limitations, restarted the computer and modem, tossed all cache and bookmarks for the affected user and placed the com.safari.plist from the user/library/safari folder on the desktop. Still get the same error message.
    I would create a new user name but had a hassle with file permissions when I put the old user files in the new user folder.

    I see you have Windows Firewall turned on. Do you happen to have any other firewalls or anti-virus in conjunction with this? Sometimes having both turned on will cause issue. Try disabling all of your anti-virus and firewall software and trying again.

  • Please help me with this error message on my lost Crashed Thread:  1  Dispatch queue: NSOperationQueue Serial Queue  Exception Type:  EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000

    I was organizing my contatcs when suddenly it disappeared and got this error message.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Error message - Network connection was refused!!!

    Every time I try to access iTunes music store I get this error:
    "iTunes could nopt connect to the Music Store. The network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network conection is active, then try again."
    My network connections are fine, the firewall is ok, all other internet pages work ok. This just started hapenning when I downloaded the newest version 6.0.2.23.
    What is the deal here?
    Thanks!

    I got it to work.
    You have to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime and iPod updater.
    Then install iTunes 6.0.1 and download the standalone Qucktime. And then download then iPod updater. Then install Quicktime and the updater.

  • Problems with receiving error message "This Connection is Untrusted" for any https sites. On version 17.0.1 of firefox. IE does not get error.

    whenever I go to an https site, I get this error message. My other browsers are not having the same issue. I deleted cert8.db as one site suggested. Stopped using firefox due to this issue. example: www.comcast.net, once I sign into email, I get this error message. Amazon.com - same issue. So, these are very common sites. This only started in past two weeks.

    Does updating to Firefox 18 (which comes out today) help? It fixed a few issues with certificates.

  • Why do I often come with an error message "Secure Connection Failed" when browsing or searching google. is the problem wiyh google or actually firefox.

    Every then and now I get this error message while doing a research on google, or switching my search from web to search. Is the problem actually with google or firefox, because when this occurs I simply go to yahoo. It would actually be great if this error message quit showing up, either you guys call google and try to have this fixed or talk to your guys to fix this error. I don't understand why it's showing up when i'm already doing a search and write something else to research.
    Thanks for reading this and understanding the frustration

  • Unable to upgrade iTunes for Mac - Error message

    Whenever the updater comes up, I am prompted to update iTunes. As it's going through the installation, it always stops and then I receive the following error:
    The update "iTunes" can't be installed.
    The source media you are installing from is damaged.
    Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
    I'm not certain what I should do and would appreciate any help you can offer.
    Thank you.

    I'm having a similar problem. The error message I received was: 'Installer could not validate the contents of the "CoreFP" package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.'
    I only tried to update iTunes because for some reason my computer was not starting up and now it does not recognize that my iPod Nano is plugged in.
    What to do?

  • Help needed with e_adept_request_expired error message

    I am trying to open my first ACSM ebook, and keep on getting this error message. I am using a standard PC laptop running Microsoft Office and the likes, not Nook or an e-reader. I had no problems setting up Adobe Digital Edition and registering my laptop with Adobe. That seems to work fine. 
    However, I cannot open the one ACSM book I bought as I keep getting this request expired message.  I am utterly baffled by the 'check your Time zone' solution. I am based in the UK, bought the ACSM on a UK website to read on my laptop. Am I meant to set my time zone to that of Adobe in the US? Should it be the same as that of the website I bought the book from?? How do I know what. or rather whose, time zone I should be on? I am after all in the correct time zone for where I live!
    My internet time settings are set to  synchronise with 'time.windows.com'. I really really do not know what to do. I have re-synchronised the time, deleted then redownloaded the file, nothing will work. It has been three days now, and I still can't open the book.

    The ebook store you bought it from may use invalid/ outdated certificates. Check their knowledge base or contact their support.
