How to fix server identity error on iPhone 5s iOS 8.0.2

I will preface this question with saying that i am not a a tech savy person so please use layman terms and treat it as though i a don't know everything there is to know about apple products.
I get the following pop up message on my phone everytime it resets or powers on and occasionally throughout the day.
[Cannot Verify Sever Identity
The identity of "phobos.apple.com.lp.mydas.mobi" cannot be verified by phobos.apple.com.lp.mydas.mobi/sites/E/ESPN/MM_47763/ESPN_College_GameDay.ics. Review the certificate details to continue.]
Now i have no idea what would cause me to get this message as i am a girl i hate sports i would never bother to go on an ESPN site on my phone or computer or even bother to pause for more than a second on ESPN on my computer so I'm compeleltey confused how i have an error on my phone for what i presume is an ESPN site or app idk.
Please help me get rid of this ****** server error because i am at the point where i am considering taking a hammer to my phone -_-
When i view the details there is no option to delete this error or whatever might be causing it so i am stuck in this matrix of pop up window server identity error and i cannot take it.

Hi Progmusicman,
If you are having an issue with touch ID on your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
Using Touch ID on iPhone
Specifically -
Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
If you're using a protective case or screen protector, it must leave the Home button and the surrounding ring completely unobscured. If it doesn't, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and verify that:
iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on.
You enrolled one or more fingerprints.
Try enrolling a different finger.
If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your iPhone to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for further assistance.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

  • How to fix "server problem" error message when trying to use PhoneGap build service.

    I have a site that is now optimized for mobile devices and want to use the PhoneGap Build service in Dreamweaver CS6 to make a native app.  Unfortunately, I keep getting the "We seem to be having server problems." error message when I try to create a new project.  I did notice that the configuration file was created at the site root.  I've seen a few other similar threads on this, but no solution.  I've checked on any firewall issues (none) and know that the PhoneGap server is not down.  The problem is on my end.
    Thanks,
    Loren

    Not an answer to the server problem, but I have posted the PhoneGap Build process here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4669054#4669054. It might help anyone still having problems.

  • Please help me how to fix error 53 iphone 6 ios 8.1

    please help me how to fix error 53 iphone 6 ios 8.1 when update iphone 6

    Hey there fcaride,
    It sounds like you are unable to finish restoring with iTunes due to this error -1 message. Usually that is associated with security software. Use the steps from the following article to help with that:
    Get help with iOS update and restore errors
    Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    If the issue persists, I would next use the last section of the following article titled "If your device turns on but gets stuck during start up"
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • How to fix No service error

    How to fix No Service error for my iPhone, which is recently factory unlocked from US and using it in India

    Did you actually buy a factory unlocked and contract free iPhone from the U.S.?
    The way you put it, it implies that someone has actually done "factory unlocking" on your iPhone, which is not possible. Factory unlocked iPhone is sold on Apple online stores in the U.S.
    ** One should not receive "No service error" on factory unlocked iPhone, unless the SIM is faulty; unsupported carrier or it's a locked phone to a specific carrier.

  • How to fix 1604 &1603 error ipod touch 4g

    hi plz help me....how to fix 1604 & 1603 error.....ipod touch 4g ios 6.1.3

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

  • How to fix the E225 error on the MF 4380 dn printer

    How to fix the E225 error on the MF 4380 dn printer

    Hi okekeP,
    The imageCLASS MF4380dn was not released by Canon USA in the United States, but was distributed in other markets such as Canada, Europe and Australia.  I would recommend to referring to the Canon support group for your geographical area to ensure the proper support application is being used for your product. However. I will be happy to offer some assistance.
    The closest US model would be the imageCLASS MF4370dn. The recommendation when the error occurs with this model is to perform a reset the product.  If you have not done so already, please attempt to reset your laser printer as outlined below:
    1. Disconnect the power cord attached to your machine while "on" for up to 10 minutes.
    2. Reconnect the power cord for the unit and plug it into a different known working outlet direct to the wall (not a surge/power strip) to ensure it is receiving full power.
    4. Once your unit has initialized, confirm an error is not displayed in the LCD.
    If unresolved, please refer to your Canon support contacts for further assistance and whether a firmware update may be available to address the issue or if service may be required.
    In case helpful to you, here are direct links to the product page for your laser product:
    - if your product was purchased in Canada, you can visit the product page for your laser device on the Canon-Canada website, www.canon.ca.
    - if your product was purchased in Australia, you can visit the Canon-Australia website, www.canon.au.
    - if purchased in Europe, you can visit the Canon-Europa website, www.canon-europe.com
    I hope this is helpful to you.

    How to fix the signal on my iphone 4?

    you have a bad signal ?  dropping connections ?  go to settings.  then general.  and reset your network settings.  test from there.  this will reset any wifi connections you may have setup already btw.  you will have to connect to them again and put in the encryption key if needed.  if that doesn't work.  backup your phone.  wipe it to factory.  then test the signal then.  if all is ok then restore you files back to it and try again.  hopfully all that helps.

    How to fix background wifi data usage in iphone6 iOS 8.1.1 when connecting to wifi?

    Hi
    I have Iphne 4s/5.0.1 and I'm also stuck with same problem from last 5 days. I have restored/backup/updated the phone as many times as possible. I have been with Vodafone Customer Care (India) and now everyone knows my problem there, but there is no solution.
    I have read and tried most of the solutions provided here. Please help me out.
    Problem -
    1. 3G / Edge working when restore as new phone
    2. 3G / Edge stops working as soon as backup is restored
    3. Copied and verified both of the files (8218978e4ab0a48035bb92653145a6be872ea858 (Restored new iphone & Restored backup iphone) have different settings. Replacing part of this file or even complete text of this file, changes the date/time stamp of file and on backup restoration it says "Corrupt backup" and phone restarts.
    4. I dont want to Jailbreak the phone
    5. Using any third party software to install new APN says "Only One APN can be installed"
    6. Profile doesnt show any other APN
    Is there any other way to delete this file (com.apple.managedCarrier.plist) or just change the section where in string value is "Portalnmms" to required value "iphone" along with key?
    Please help me out.
    thanks
