ITunes cannot connect to network

I know other people are having connection issues, but I don't know if mine is the same problem. I've already had proxy connection issues with Firefox, which happened right after AVG quarantined a virus...I'm thinking that messed with my proxy settings. I fixed it on Firefox by changing a setting but now iTunes is not connecting. I'm getting a "network connection timed out" error when trying to connect to the Store and when I try checking for updates (I don't have the latest version of itunes) it says "The iTunes update server could not be contacted."
I've seen the help page entitled "iTunes for Windows: can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect" but I don't understand the last few instructions. I don't know anything about this kind of stuff, so feel free to explain it to me like I'm an idiot.
I ran a Network Connectivity Test under Diagnostics and the results are thus:

Help, anyone?

Nevermind, I fixed it! If anyone is having the same problem, I had to go into Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Reset Internet Explorer Setting. Then I restarted IE and restarted iTunes and problem solved!

  • I bought new Iphone 5 and trying to activate it. It says itunes cannot connect to network try again?

    This new iphone 5. i try activating it on wifi through phone it says i need sim card. and using itunes it says error cannot connect to itunes network try again. This is gsm unlock phone !

    Did the receipt say unlocked? Apple sells iPhones without a contract but
    still tied to a wireless carrier, and iPhones that are not tied to a wireless
    carrier. Both are are the same price. Price paid is not a guarantee of an
    unlocked iPhone.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=About=>Carrier?

    iPodService 9.2.1.5 is currently running.

    Right, I'm going to try something, if this works, then this'll probably fix a lot of iTunes problems.
    1: Make sure your whole iTunes database is backed up.
    2: Uninstall iTunes, then run "Revo Uninstaller", this will remove ALL traces of iTunes from you computer, not your library.
    I've found out that when un-installing or re-installing over a previous version of iTunes will carry over some problems from previous versions, or even create problems. Registry leftovers can be a problem also. Completely removing iTunes using "Revo Uninstaller" then re-installing will have the same effect as installing iTunes from a fresh OS install. Typically iTunes should be problem free when installed totally fresh.
    3: Re-install the correct version of iTunes fresh and try again.

  • ITunes cannot connect to Internet and iPad backup takes Forever

    Hi, I have a workstation, high end Windows 7, PC, everything works perfect except the iTunes.. here's my story:
    iTunes cannot connect to internet, nor can iTunes Store. I tried "Run Diagnostics" from Help menu, it showed "internet connection verified" green light BUT "Secure link to iTunes Store Failed" Red Light.
    Then I thought, lets check other Apple App, Safari.. which couldn't load google for a long time and didn't even show any error, anyway, so I quit and uninstalled it.
    I connected iPad for backup, it started all fine. At "Step 2 of 7" backing up, the loading/copying bar came half way up and stayed there for more than 20 hours. So, I quit that too. (Maybe, this is a different problem or connected, im not sure.)
    I also checked the setting in Norton Firewall and made sure iTunes was allowed full access. Internet is working perfect in all the other applications, even "Apple Software Update" is working fine, checking for updates and everything. I have latest version of iTunes by the way.
    THEN, I uninstalled everything Apple, left no trace of Apple in Program Files, and reinstalled iTunes. STILL SAME PROBLEM!!! Can anybody help? What could've happened, 'coz it used to work just fine before.
    Thanks Guys!

  • Ipad is disabled connect to itunes but i connected it and there was a popup saying itunes cannot connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode. You mus enter the passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. but i couldnt enter my passwor

    my ipad is disabled and it said ipad is disabled connect to itunes but i connected it and was restoreing it and then there was a popup and it said itunes cannot connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode. and you must enter the passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. But i couldnt even write the passcode on my ipad cause it was disabled. What should i do now????

    Follow the instructions on this page to reset your iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • TS1398 iTunes , cannot connect to server. At both, my fathers and at my place, with both, his iPad1 and my iPad 3

    Started out with "Text Plus" triple charging me. Gave up on them.  iTunes sent me an email with the receipt of all 3 charges with "report a problem"  under each purchase. I clicked on it and that's when I had on my screen "cannot connect to server". This happens with both my iPodtouch 4 th gen. & my new iPad3 , both are WiFi. This also happens at my place and my fathers, with my products and the iPad 1 WiFi I gave to him. I can get on my iTunes but can't buy anything. I can sync . Please someone help, Sue

    I just now did what you said and now it says; iTunes, cannot connect to iTunes store.
    Very puzzling indeed, I contacted iTunes the other day and Derrick told me to go to Apple , I did and they said their support community has dealt with this problem before and now I am here. I think I am going to sync my iPad with iTunes for the 8th time and see if that does anything, it's been about 24 hrs. Since I did it last. Thank you for your help,Sue
