ICloud says it cannot connect me to the server

I have lost the phone numbers in my contacts on my iphone 4S. I figured that using iCloud from my PC I would be able to recover them. When I try to sign in to iCloud from my PC, I get a message saying that it cannot connect me to the server. I can tell that my iCloud password on my phone is not correct but when I correct it, it reverts back to the old one. I can't figure out how to save it,and its the only thing I can see that might be preventing me access. I downloaded the latest version of iOS to see if that would help and it didn't. Any ideas?

I'm getting the same thing. I JUST bought mine too...
I was immediately sold once I played with it at the Apple Store but they forget to warn you there's a lot of setting up.
I'm tempted to go to an Apple store and tell them, I just wanna walk into my local coffee shop and be able to use their free wifi... what are the steps I need to take?
With my laptop all I have to do is turn on the airport and then I'm on the internet... with the iPod Touch seems like you have to go through **** and back - I started doing research on troubleshooting with iPod Touch, even called a person at the Apple store and then I see all these posts of routers, IP addresses, DCHP, reset settings and it's REALLY REALLY confusing for someone who's not that computer savvy - I thought Apple was user friendly. I really hope it's not that hard.
If you find results, please let me know. I've gone cross eyed from reading too much about this somewhat simple yet extremely complicated device.

Hi, I have upgraded my iphone 4s to ios7 and now when I am trying to login to app store, it says "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store". When I try clicking on the "Terms and Conditions" in iCloud, it first says "Cannot Connect" and then the following message: "Verification Failed: the certificate for this server is invalid. you might be connecting to server that is pretending to be setup.icloud.com, which could put your confidential information at risk". My wifi is working properly as I have accessed websites from safari. I reset my network settings too and even reset my password. But none of these get my iphone working.

I'm having the same problem with the iTunes Store...it much be down :(

Restore it as new. Why wouldn't you do that when purchasing a used device from another individual?

All I can tell you is that I am having the exact same problem with an iPod Touch and that I was running iTunes 9.2.1.5 at the time it happened. Upgraded to 10.0.0.68 hoping that it might help, but no joy.
I don't want to do a restore just now since the Touch seems to be working fine. Restore will have to wait until I have plenty of free time in case something goes wrong.

I recently updated to iOS 8.0 on my Ipad however when i try to agree to the new terms and conditions i get an error message saying either 'Cannot connect to server' or 'Your session has timed out please try again' what can be done to resolve this?

Hi, I recently updated to iOS 8.0 on my Ipad mini however when i try to agree to the new terms and conditions i get an error message saying either 'Cannot connect to server' or 'Your session has timed out please try again' what can be done to resolve this problem? Also i cannot download anything from the App store as a result of this.

Can you check the Object Security for the Analysis Menu and Export button and see if it is restricted?
Also, is this a Oracle DB? IF so, has the following 32 bit Oracle Client components been isntalled:
Oracle Objects for OLE
Oracle Data Provider for .NET

I changed my server at the end of May & all worked well until the past week end since when I am getting a message saying that I cannot get email because the server will not connect - although it does. It also claims that it was last backed up on Friday last despite having had several emails since Friday. What has happened & can I get email back to normal?

I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased

I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased a film. We're going on a flight soon and would ideally like to watch one on the plane. Can someone please provide some step by step instructions. Thanks.

Rented or purchased video are watched through the videos app after you have downloaded them, iTunes on iOS devices is for buying media only.

There are a number of threads from other people reporting the same iTunes connection issue - it looks like there might be a problem at Apple's end

Hey there julyduque,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the issue connecting to the iTunes Store on your iPhone 5s when trying to make in-app purchases.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, try updating your payment information as suggested in this article:

If you can't make an in-app purchase, try updating your payment information.

ITunes tells me there is an update (5.1) but it never gets any further than trying to connect to the iPad server. I've tried updating directly from my iPad and it too times out saying it cannot connect to any server. My regular Apple updates work fine.

iTunes tells me there is an iOS update (5.1) but it never gets any further than trying to connect to the iPad server. I've tried updating directly from my iPad and it too times out saying it cannot connect to any server. My regular Apple updates work fine.

I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.
iOS 5.1 Software Update

You can wait a while & update at your convenience.

Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

When I try and distribute form, it says it cannot connect to server, even though I'm online, sign in etc.

When I try and distribute form, it says it cannot connect to server, even though I'm online, sign in etc. How can I get it to connect?? I need to know, urgently to get a proposal in before the deadline.

Try downloading the Find My Friends app and signing in with your iCloud ID to accept the terms and conditions there. If that doesn't work, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in.
