Internet connection failed... when I'm clearly connected to the Internet

I've been trying, for the last 10+ hours or so, to update my iPad to iOS7.
Each time I do, it fails. (Error code 3004)
At the point it failed the iPad has become useless... when I power it up I just get the iTunes logo and the USB plug.
I have tried every single thing listed on the Help page, from changing Firewall Settings, to uninstalling iTunes and all associated programs, to resetting the computer, to connecting directly to my modem, etc etc etc. All this to no avail.
I'm clearly still connected to the internet, but iTunes thinks I am not, and therefore cannot restore/update my iPad.
Any suggestions?

Hi there RaceAddict,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes can't contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software isn't interfering with ports 80 or 443 or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (go to "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you're using a proxy, try again without using a proxy.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • Face time connection fails when I try to connect

    I have used face time to chat with my grandkids on several occasions through my iPhone 5C to their iPod touch devices, and it worked fine.  But lately when we tried to facetime is says  FAILED.    They are able to text me and send pictures and I can do that to them but the face time connection fails just as we try to answer the call.
    I've tried face timing others and it works.   But not to the grandkids.   Any thoughts?

    Is your iPhone on the latest version of iOS (7.1.1 right now)?
    If so, have your grandkids check their iPod touches - they need to be running the latest version of iOS that their devices can handle in order for FaceTime to work.

  • 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

  • HT2284 Recurring "connection failed" when selecting TimeCapsule in the sidebar (internet connection works fine).  Clicking "Connect As" starts the cyle over again but ends in "There was a problem connection to the server" message.  Only fix is resetting T

    Recurring "connection failed" when selecting TimeCapsule in the sidebar (internet connection works fine).  Clicking "Connect As" starts the cyle over again but ends in "There was a problem connection to the server" message.  Only fix is resetting TC.
    The TC is the wifi base station, also have AirportExpress on the network, both of which work fine.  The TC has an external disc connected as well, which is also visible in the sidebar but also cannot be connected to.  Several MB computers use the network, all of which either can or cannot connect to the TC disc depending on when it is acting up.
    Any ideas other than clicking "connect as" or powering down the network every time? 

    Read up how to install 5.6 utility into ML.. it is pretty easy.
    I downloaded 5.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Download unpkg
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Open the dmg to get the pkg.. drag it onto unpkg.. and it will create a directory under desktop with all the files.. drag the application to the utility directory.. or just run it direct.
    Google if you want more explicit instructions.
    Much easier with a real tool instead of a toy.
    Hold the option key when you select firmware update.. all the old ones will appear.
    But this will not work on newer Gen4.. only on every other model and early Gen4. .I do not know when they turned the corner and started this only 7.6 nonsense.

  • Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

    Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

    Hi SandyS_VZW,
    Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
    Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
    -> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
    -> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
    THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
    My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
    Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
    Was there a known issue similar about this case?
    thanks,

  • Why do I get connection failed when logging in on app store on wireless, but Wired LAN works fine?

    I've been having the same issue as many other people. On OSX Lion with latest updates as of 3/20/2012. Tried deleting .plist files, checking keychain access and even reset keychain. I still get the error of Connection Failed when trying to download updates or a new app from the app store.
    I also can't connect to the iTunes "Account" area. It produces an error that the request failed (-1200)
    I finally decided to try a wired connection instead of my wireless. Now it works great! So I removed my wireless network and re-added it. Back to square one. Work around for now is fine, but I should be able to use this over wireless, too!
    I just now tested connecting to a different wireless network (EVO Hotspot) and it worked fine. So it's something specific to my office wireless network. Nothing changed on our firewall (I'm the administrator). It just stopped working.

  • My wifi is connected but when i try to connect to safari it tells me its not connect it says safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet.. but the wifi is on and connected, i have tryed resetting the network settings

    my wifi is connected but when i try to connect to safari it says the internet is not connected, i tryed resetting network system but still no luck.

    Your iPad sees the WiFi network signal but obviously it is not connected to the network. Try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

    Hi glomp,
    From the information provided, it sounds like your device may not be fully recognized by iTunes. Here are two articles (depending on your computer's operating system) for troubleshooting this:
