IPod Touch Mail "Secure Connection Failed, The Certificate may be invalid"

I've setup my POP account 100% correctly on my iPod touch, at times it even downloads my e-mail into the iPod Touch as well, however everynow and then it will come up with the message "The certificate for "Mail Account" may be invalid" Then it just goes on to retrieve my e-mails when I select continue. Any ideas??

I called Apple support regarding this issue today and managed to get my problem resolved. When I went to add a new mail account it gave me the same error posted above... however, if you click "Continue" and wait about 2-3 minutes (yes, minutes) the iPod will come back and ask you if you want to try creating the mail account without SSL. Another window will come up after about 2 minutes confirming that it cannot create an account with SSL, and then prompt you again if you want to go ahead and create the non-SSL account. You click yes, wait ANOTHER 2 minute and voila. It jumps back to the main settings screen and you have a working mail account.
Their support representative said it sounded like they would be releasing a patch in the future to make this easier (and reduce the timeout for SSL testing so you don't have to wait so long).

Firefox4: every add-on/extension gives the same error: "Secure Connection Failed - The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided".

These are all certs from static.addons.mozilla.net. Even if I add a security exception it does not help

Do you have something like BrowserSafe, Browser Safeguard, or Safeguard installed on your machine?
If so, get rid of it.

Secure connection failed: The Certifying Authority for this certificate is not permitted to issue a certificate with this name. (Error code: sec_error_cert_not_in_name_space) PLEASE HELP ME!!

I have gone to this website almost everyday for years and I have not changed anything in my internet settings, but now I'm getting this message: secure connection failed: The Certifying Authority for this certificate is not permitted to issue a certificate with this name. (Error code: sec_error_cert_not_in_name_space) The only thing I KNOW I did differently, was I installed a CAC reader to my computer, since then, this has been happening. Is there a setting I can change?? E-mail is: [email protected] Thanks! Megan

What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

My 2nd generation iPod touch will not connect with the newest version of iTunes (December 2012 update). My computer(windows7) says the device is connected when i plug it in, but it will not show up in iTunes. Can anyone help?

As said in the question, my ipod touch will not connect to the newest version of itunes. When I plug it in, my compter recognizes that a device has been connected, yet it will not show up in itunes. I didn't have this problem until I just updated to the new itunes. Someone help please!

It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data

Two of our ipod touches won't connect to the home wifi. They have done before. All other apple devices connect fine. They can see the wifi devices, appear to try to connect (the circle whirls around) but connection doesn't complete. Ideas?

I have 2 of them that only connected for a day and then reset network settings and they connected again for a day now resetting network settings does not fix it either. My iphone used to work with my home network but after upgrading to the latest OS which is the same versions as the ipods it no longer works either. Acts the same as the ipods. It would seem that the latest tweeks to the OS is the problem with wifi connectivity.

TS1717 ipod touch will not connect to the itunes store

can some one tell my why the ipod touch will not connect to the itunes store - just says it can not connect.

Hello, rumisha.
Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot the connection to the iTunes store you are experiencing on your iPod Touch. Scroll to the section labeled Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Attempt to connect to another wifi network to see if the issue persists as this could be the cause.

Also, check the date and time. I have attached a screen shot as this could cause an issue if not set correctly.

Error "Connection Failed The server may not exist or is not operational..."

This is just FYI in case somebody else runs across this. On one user account, an error window would pop up every so often that said:
Connection Failed
The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again.
It turns out that the problem was caused by Screen Saver. The error popped up whenever screen saver tried to launch. On the problem account I had the "Pictures" folder selected for the screen saver, and apparently there must be an alias in that folder pointing to something on a remote server, because as soon as I go to System Preferences and open the Screen Saver panel, I get the error.
It has been driving me crazy for months but finally I thought to look in Console, where I saw the error "afp_mount[5045] CFLog (0): CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1103 (0x44f), port = 0x2d03, name = 'com.apple.afp_mount.ServiceProvider'"
Searching for that error led me to the Macosxhints forum at http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-53209.html where a user had posted the same problem. Changing to a different screen saver or a different folder for pictures resolved the issue.

TS1398 My iPod touch won't connect to the wifi.?

So my iPod touch has been conecting to the internet perfectly these last few weeks, but i turned it on this morning and it would not connect to my home wifi at all. It connects to other wifi signals, and i can connect my laptop to my home wifi, but not my ipod? It constantly has a loading sign next to it even though i have full signal connection?
I have tried turning it off and on multiple times
I have tried turning the wifi connector on and off
I have reset my network settings
I have held the home button and lock button for ten seconds and restarted it
I "forgot" the wifi link and re added it with the password again
I don't want IOS7 and i can't download it without internet anyway
I dont know what else to do and im really starting to get annoyed
Help please

It connects to other wifi signals, and i can connect my laptop to my home wifi, but not my ipod? It constantly has a loading sign next to it even though i have full signal connection? indicates a problem with your network.
Power off and then back on the router
Next try changing the security on the router. Start with no security (no password required) for a test.
- Restore from iCloud backup. It shuld not update to iOS 7See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device via iTunes. This will update a 5G to iOS 7
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Ipod touch 2nd Gen connects to the internet and then quits

I have a 2nd gen Ipod touch that connects to the Internet and then it quits. I will then get the message the Ipod can not connect to the Internet.
I have a Linksys WTR 610n wireless router (I have upgraded to the new firmware). My Ipod worked fine for about almost 2 years and then it started dropping the connection. I am not sure if was as a result of upgrading the Ipod to 4.2.1. but things started to go bad right after. It will connect from anywhere from 1 min to 20min and quit. I can't downgrade to a previous OS the Ipod because I don't have a previous version of the firmware. Also Apps and Apple remote will not connect to Itunes when the internet shuts down. The Ipod recognizes all of the wifi routers in the area and its shows that it connects but then still nothing works.
Sometimes it just says it won't connect to the server. I have tried no security, WEP WPA and WPA2.
I have also tried:
1) restoring my IPOD;
2) resetting the network settings;
3) rebooting the IPOD;
4) forgetting the network and renewing the network lease;
5) rebooting the router;
6) resetting the router;
7) upgrading the firmware of the router;
8) setting the router to "G" only;
9) setting the router to "N" only;
10) praying to Steve Jobs; and
11)
I think that is everything that I could find on the discussion or elseware. If any one knows how to fix this, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks

My ipod touch won't connect to the wifi network?

Hello,
My ipod touch won't work upstairs in my house. It is a 32gb 3rd generation and you have to stand close to the router. My family has two other ipod touchs and both of them work up in my room. I need help on how to mak it so my iPod works. I have reset the network settings 5 times and I have restored it once. Neither of them work. I have had it since 2009 and i got the wifi router in February 2011. It worked until March break when I went to my friends house and my iPod wouldn't work unless I stood bside her laptop. there was 3 other iPod touchs that worked fne though. Can I get viruses on my iPod touch?? Please help

Here's how I solved my connection issues (I got this from doing online research):
Manually Configure Your Network: From DHCP tab, tap the STATIC tab at the top. You will be presented with 4 fields to fill in:
Field 1 is the IP Address. This address is for your iPod and it needs to be corret inorder to connect to the network. You need to know the address of your router in order to fill this field in. If you have a home network router, chances are your router address is something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (you need to find this in your router's manual). Set your iPod's IP address to something like 192.168.X.150 (X= the 3rd number in your router's address).
Field 2 is the Subnet Mask. Most likely, your Subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 (as long as your router's address begins with 192.168.X.X).
Field 3 is the Router Address. This address is given to you in your router's user manual. Some manufacturers even have it written on the bottom or back of the router itself. Most likely, it will be either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (confirm with your user manual). This address is also called the Default Gateway.
Field 4 is the DNS address. If the above fields are correctly set, these should be determined automatically. However, if they are not, you will need to get this (or these) address(es) from your Internet Service Provider. You may also obtain this information from http://opendns.com (free service).
When I first tried this procedure, I could only receive mail and not send. Later on, I could send but not receive. After a few calls to my ISP (they said they were having problems with the internet) and a lot of entering and re-entering the information, I finally gave up and early the next a.m. I input everything again and all of a sudden I was hooked up!
My ISP never could tell me why I couldn't get a connection.
P.S. The port I used was 25.
Good Luck!

HT3867 My iPod touch isn't connecting to the wifi

When I try to connect to my school's wifi, with my iPod touch, it doesn't work. I have the correct password, username, etc., but when I choose to connect to the wifi, it always has the loading signal, and never actually connects. It doesn't show the checkmark that means you're connected. I also cannot connect to any Internet page cause it's obviously not connected. I've connected to the wifi before, but recently this has been happening.
Any ideas?

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My ipod touch isn't connecting to the internet???

The internet on my iPod touch has always worked, but today it's not connecting to anything. When I go to settings and then wi-fi it says it's connected to my internet but doesn't show at the top left bar and isn't working? I have tried turning it on and off, I've reset my network connection and have gone through the common wi-fi issues. This is really weird because it is actually connected to the internet but it's not working at all. Please help!

- Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Haveyou powered off and thenback on your router?
