How to resolve: "Update server not found (check your internet connection)"?

When doing Help / Check for Updates, I get "Update server not found (check your internet connection)". This has been the case for 6-8 weeks or longer but auto update worked fine before. Not sure if something changed on my MacBook Pro. If so, I can't pinpoint it.
MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo)
Mac OS 10.6.6
Firefox 3.6.13
Firefox set to "No Proxy"

See iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Update server not found (check your internet connection)

New Apple MacBook Pro and happened somewhere after 3.6.12 installed.

It worked, thanks. It came in as a new program, but kept all my preferences and add-ons, even checking to make sure I wanted to keep the ones I had before, like it was supposed to. The only difference is that it is a new browser and the update history for the previous versions has gone away which doesn't really matter all that much.

I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

What version of iTunes are you using? The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

TS1424 "The itunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection, or try again later."

I keep getting this error message: "The itunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection, or try again later." and can not update my iOS from 4.3.2

I downloaded the Microsoft Autoruns package and ran it. There are no programs in the LSA Providers tab, and Apple's Bonjour is the only program in the Winsock Providers tab. I also did the "netsh winsock reset" and rebooted. It didn't fix the problem. Any more ideas?

The iPad update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later.

Cant update my sons ipad 2 to ios 5. We got it at christmas and have not been able to update it. Keep getting the ipad update server could not be contacted. check your internet connections or try again later. I have tried turning off my firewall and tried at all times of the day or night. Im using windows 7 on my PC.

The only other thing that I can think of to try is to restart everything. Quit iTunes, reboot your PC, restart the iPad and then try again.
Here is an article about troubleshooting iPad updating issues. It could be some other security settings that you have that are blocking the update from proceeding. There are a number of things that are discussed in this support article. Check it out and see if there is anything in it that you can try.

I have tried to update my iPhone using the iTunes method but it will not work. The message "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later," appears. What do I do? The Internet is working fine.

Have you tried the following troubleshooting document?
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
If you end up using the If the iTunes Store opens successfully section of the document, and the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.

When i try to update Ipad 2 the iTunes update server could not be contracted . please check your internet connection or try again later

Let's try the following document with that one.
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
(If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.)

When I try to update iTunes it says "the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later."

I am trying to updated iTunes on my PC so I can sync my songs onto my iPhone 5, but when I try to update iTunes it says "the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later." My internet connection is fine and I've tried mutiple times to update it.

That one can sometimes be produced by LSP trouble:
I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
