Itunes cannot find an active Internet connection

Hello
I've tried several times to activate my Itunes, and its radio stations. But I get an error message stating to check my network is active. It is active. I can get on the Internet with Safari. I even downloaded the new Itunes upgrade 8.01(12) and it is still not connecting.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to solve this issue?
Thanx

Hello Running
I just talked to an Apple Tech person, and they helped solved the issue that we both have.
What he did was have me go into Preferences, and then Network.
In the Location tab (at the top) he had me make a new location which I called Home
Took it off automatic (He said automatic sometimes causes problems like this)
Then we went to the side window, where it says Airport, Bluetooth, Ethernet, Firewire.
At the bottom of that he had me press the button with the Gear.
Then I went to Set Service Order
Airport was at the bottom.
I dragged it to the top.
I tested Safari, and that worked
Then I restarted Itunes, and it worked.
Hopefully this helps,
Let me know...
Sincerely,
Ferd

WRT54GS cannot detect an active internet connection. HELP!

Ok well just recently, I don't know why though but my router won't detect an active internet connection from my Cable Modem. I have my Router and Modem connected so I can play Xbox in my room. Well since my router can't detect an active internet connection now since the new Xbox update doesn't allow you to enter the encryption key anymore, I can't go on Xbox live because of it. I've tried changing the ethernet cable in different ports and it still doesn't work. If someone can please help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Solved!

Unable to update devices, receiving error 3014 on iTunes, and device via wifi is stating "Not connected to the internet", when it has an active internet connection

Hi,
I have been encountering this issue and I have run out of ideas as to what would be causing this error. On numerous apple devices for our business I will receive an error 3014 when updating a device via iTunes, and this is after the software update downloads. When attempting to update the device over wifi it states that the device is not connected to the internet, when I ensured that the device has active internet connectivity.
Our business uses a Juniper firewall, which I thought might have been the initial cause of the issue, however I have ensured that ports 80 and 443 have full traffic flow and nothing blocking it, and I've also exempted all *.apple.com websites that I could find listed online.
I have also tried deleting the host files on the computer I am using to circumvent the issue.
If anyone could shed some light on what I can do to resolve this, that would be appreciated.

HT1414 I have an iPod touch and it says iPod Is disabled connect to iTunes, but it's green across the too instead of red. When I connected to iTunes a message appeared and said iTunes cannot find device must have a pass code to register to iTunes. What ca

MY iPod touch says iPod I'd disabled, connect to iTunes, but it is green at the top instead of red. It won't allow me to slide bar to open screen or nothing. I tried to connect to iTunes and a message appears and says iTunes cannot find my device must have pass code to continue. But I can't do anything on the iPod at all. What can I do to fix this?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

ITunes cannot find Aiport Express via D-link

iTunes cannot find Aiport Express.
iMac and Airport Express both connected to D-link wireless router (DI-524UP). Can see Airport Express on iMac Airport Utilities, and can communicate (do changes) via the D-link network. iMac working fine with D-link for internett access also.Have set up Aiport Express to serve as extra speakers in iTunes. Airport Express connected to stereo with cable. Can choose the external speakers in iTunes. Think this means iTunes also must be communicating with Airport Express, because If I change the name of the externals speakers in Airport Express, it also changes in iTunes after clicking "update" and the Airport Express re-starts. However after choosing the external speakers in iTunes and starting a song iTunes is seeking the speakers (Airport Express) without finding it. All devices are connected to the same D-link network.
Working fine when I set up Airport Express with its own network and connecting it with iMac. Also I could connect my iPhone to my iTunes library (remote app.) This is not working in the d-Link network either.
It's a drag to have to change both the PC and the iPhone to another network every time I want to play musik on the stereo. This is why I am trying to get everything to work together in the same network (D-Link).
Somebody having met this problem before?

Correction: Downloaded an update for the D-Link, and now the iPhone is working with iMac for remote control of iTunes.
Still iTunes cannot find Airport Express when choosing external speekers

When trying to use my banking apps I get the error "Network Required This application requires an active Internet Connection. Please try again"

When trying to use my banking apps I get the error "Network Required This application requires an active Internet Connection. Please try again". This happens with two different apps from two different banks. One of them works occasionally and have not figured out why. I have cell signal and I am on a strong WiFi network. Same thing happens when I turn off the WiFi too. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the app with no improvement. I can't seem to find any setting that would cause this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can access the internet just fine in the browser and i can use any other app i have.

Iphone 5. cannot get mail. no internet connection available.

I have the iphone 5. My carrier is Sprint. I can get email only when connected to wi-fi. When no wi-fi is available I get a pop up message that says: cannot get mail. no internet connection available.
I am sure I am just missing a setting or something to correct this. Any ideas?
Thank you!

I experienced this problem firsthand with a Sprint iPhone 5 about a month ago, telling me it had no internet connection and could not check my email (which was Gmail, set up through the native Mail app, using default settings). I can confirm that restarting the phone (holding home + power buttons until restart) temporarily fixed the problem but it quickly returned. Toggling Airplane mode did nothing. The problem did return within the same day after a period of time. I have since switched back to AT&T.
Interstingly, my sister had the same issue with her brand new Sprint iPhone 5 this week. She called Sprint and the customer service representative confirmed that this is a problem that only affects Sprint iPhone 5 users who use Gmail. The rep told her that it affects Gmail both in the native Mail app and also in the Gmail app, but web use still works (I haven't confirmed this). The rep also said that Sprint is aware of the problem and working on a fix that would be delivered in the form of a "software update" but there was no clarification if that was an iOS update or a Sprint carrier update.
That's all the info I have now, but if you're a Sprint iPhone user and experiencing this problem, please do call Sprint and let us know what you find out.

E90 Maps w/o active internet connection

With *Maps* installed on an E90, it seems impossible to find a location or to plan a route without an active internet connection.
Is there a method to use Maps without active internet connection (like Route66 on my notebook)?
Thanks!
Andreas

Hi kaon,
I checked the E90 manual online .. was curious ..
Found out that it can be done !
Page 54:
To prevent the device from automatically downloading maps through the internet, for example, when you are outside your
home cellular network, select Options > Settings > Network > Use network > Off.

And even if there is Internet connection via wifi and telco's data service, Maps doesn't seem to see it.
For the N95, if you select to set the Network to 'when need', then the phone will give you a chance to select the access point. Try selecting the right one -- WLAN/ Telco.
Let me know how it goes !

Says i don't have active internet connection and i do

I can't access the itunes store. Says I do not have an active internet connection and I do. All three of my computers are saying the same thing. What do I need to do?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Sloooow internet - Active Internet Connections??

Hi Everyone, this is my first time posting anything on here so please be gentle
My internet runs very slow. This is an intermittent problem. Right now, for example, I can browse the net without much hassle. At other times, I try to check hotmail, for example, and it simply times out after several minutes.
My internet provider did several checks and came to the conclusion that there is nothing wrong with the line and the bandwidth I'm getting.
They then asked me to go to the NETWORK UTILITY, choose NETWORK INTERFACE (en1) under INFO and then choose DISPLAY THE STATE OF ALL CURRENT SOCKET CONNECTIONS under NETSTAT. I ran this and it came up with 27 active internet connections. I have no idea what these all are. There are also many more active LOCAL (UNIX) domain sockets.
The guy on the phone told me there should only be around 10 of these active connections and that more than 10 suggest a virus or spyware. I ran some virus software and it found 0 viruses. I just spoke with Apple Support and they told me that this information was incorrect and that it only applies to a PC and that a MAC cannot get a Virus or Spyware. Their suggestion was that I TURN OFF my firewall and see if it helps with internet speed. This seems like bad advice to me.
I'm now completely stuck as to where to go from here. If anyone out there has any idea I would be extremely appreciative of some help!
thank you in advance,
Dylan31

Hi Dylan and welcome to the forums!
Who is your ISP? Their comment is wrong, and Apple are correct.
Try this:
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl. If you are running Snow Leopard, run Safari in 32 bit not 64 bit.)
Do you have enough RAM? Less than 1GB can cause slowness. Is your hard drive too full? Less than 15%, or 15GB, of free space can also cause slowness.
Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
(An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
