ITunes doesn't recognize internet connection

Oh the joys of change...
I recently switched over from dial-up to DSL (just become available in my area), and am utilizing a wireless modem. Safari and Mail communicate fine with the world-wide-web, but neither iTunes nor Software Update seem to be able to [iTunes says "accessing music store" with the spinner-line going for minutes/hours, and SU says "A networking error has occured: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the internet, then try again"].
NOTE: I have this problem both wired and wirelessly. Any help would be much appreciated!!

When you moved to DSL, did the provider install any
new software on your system, or give you software you
installed yourself?
No, there was no software installed by me or them (and as far as I know there is none available) on my computer.
If you go into your "Network Utility" do you see any
Send Errors?
Where is my "Network Utility"? Thanks...

Reformatted iPod on Windows, iTunes doesn't recognize internet connection

Help!
A friend loaded his songs on my iPod. When I tried to update it on my Windows PC, the Mac prompt 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.' popped up, instead of the Windows prompt 'Your iPod needs to be reformatted for use with Windows. Would you like to run iTunes to restore your iPod now?' (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1441)
So I try to 'Restore' and the prompt I get is 'iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the Internet. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.'
Thing is, I AM connected to the internet.
So then I accidentally formatted the iPod on Windows Explorer, and now nothing shows up except the image ' Use iTunes to Restore'.
Would any of you be able to save my iPod?
Thank you!

Doesn't recognize internet connection to update to 1.2, but should I bother

I update to itunes 7 and I wanted to update my ipod to 1.2 to watch videos I bought and have not been able to watch with 1.1. However, when I click on update in the summary tab I get that I need to be connected to the internet. I am on-line while I try this so why won't it recognize the connection? But given the problems I have read about in this forum should I even risk updating my ipod software to the 1.2 version? Any useful information would be appreciated PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND WITH: EVERYTHING WORKED PERFECTLY FOR ME.

I was having this same problem and was able to fix it by doing the following: Go to "Control Panel" "Network Connections" Right Click on your connection Go to "Properties" then click on Windows Firewall "Settings" button. Find "ipodService.exe" "itunes" and "ituneshelper.exe" Click on "edit" then "change scope" then make sure "any computer (including those on the internet)" is selected for each setting. Restart your computer and resart itunes you should now be able to run the diagnostics on the "network" and have it pass. You can then update your ipod by using the update button in itunes
If you still have problems turn on the "allow connection sharing" in the "network connection" settings
It took me a while to find this fix too, normally I can find it quicker. good luck.

Cloud drive doesn't recognize internet connection

I recently had some work done on my laptop (runs Windows 7) and used to have Cloud Drive on my computer but it was deleted. I tried to reinstall it and now I get this error message: "You need an internet connection to set up HP Cloud Drive. Please check your connection and try again." I have an internet connection which is up to date and also runs Java's latest version. I don't know what to do. Help!

Blinking Amber Light - AX Doesn't recognize Internet Connection

I've reset my Airport Express. Before and after doing so it just randomly stopped recognizing my internet connection. I can not find any sensible explanation on how to deal with this issue. I feel as though this crap is just going to be a table weight. Suggestions?

I have the same sort of problem. After I bought a new MacPro (no wireless btw) and migrated all the info from my MacBookPro 17" the AX and my iPod Touch now can't connect to the internet. I reset the AX to factory specs and used the Airport Utility to reset up the AX. That reports that all is fine. and the network says that the MBP is connected to the network (no its not!) but not the internet. The iPod Touch says it is connected to my 'Home' network but can't access the internet either.
I can't think of anything else, anyone?

Router doesn't recognize internet connection

I have a WRT54GS V7 that I have been running for a few years now with no problems until today.
My wife used the internet from her laptop through the day but this evening after she moved to the bedroom and booted up the laptop, she found there was no internet connection.
I tried what I know in cases like these, unplugging the router or modem for brief periods of time to try and get things going again but to no avail. So I tried using the Easylink Advisor which basically suggested the same process.
At this point, my internet connection is coming in from the cable just fine. I have access on the desktop which is wired and works with no problems. The modem and router lights are both signaling that everything is fine but no wireless internet coming from the router.
Using the desktop I tried looking for some solutions and tried resetting the router. I ultimately called customer support but being out of warranty they wanted too much to help although she suggested that I needed to reconfigure the router since I had reset it. I followed the online instructions for reconfiguring but still have gotten nowhere.
I wonder if anybody else has any suggestions or am I just looking at a lost router here?

Even after the reset the wireless connection is still not working? Might have something to do with the wireless settings on the router. You may try the following wireless settings: ssid/wireless network name: should be unique ; channel: 1,3,6, or 9 ; security mode: wpa2 personal. On the laptop, you may try to delete the profile of the network first then after that, re-connect to the network. For further instructions on how to do that, refer to this link: Removing wireless network profiles or preferred networks. If ever it won't still work, download the firmware for this router from this site: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT54GS. Make sure to select Hardware version 7.0. Proceed then with upgrading the firmware of the router. Instructions on how to upgrade the firmware of the router is here. After the upgrade, do another reset on the router - push and hold the reset button for 30seconds then power it off for 10-15 seconds. Once the power light goes solid, reconfigure the settings of the router again. You may refer to these links for the reconfiguration: Setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service & Setting up a Linksys router for DSL Internet connection.

OneNote Doesn't Recognize Internet Connection - Unable to Sync

Greetings All,
I am running OneNote 2013 and get the message that my notebook cannot sync because it needs a password. I click and receive a dialog indicating "We are unable to connect right now. Please check your network and try again later.".
However, I am connected to the Internet without any issues; it seems to be isolated to OneNote.
This is a notebook that is stored one my OneDrive.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance...
Bob Mixon

Hi,
If we try to open the notebook from OneNote web app, will it open properly?
Please also try to switch to another live account and check if this issue persists.
In addition, please go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials > Generic Credentials > Find the entry start with 'MicrosoftOffice15_Data', remove it and then open your OneNote to check the result.
Hope this helps.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for the response. Yes, the notebook opened correctly in the OneNote web app without issue.
I ended up going to the control panel and removing the credentials. I was then prompted for my username and password and all is working again.
Thank you again for the suggestions.

My itunes doesn't recognize my ipod touch because I've never connected it before and it is disabled, it won't let me restore it, it says to enter a passcode in order to connect and I can't because it is disabled

My ipod touch is disabled and it says to connect to itunes to restore. I have never added the ipod to my devices on my itunes so when I connect it says that itunes doesn't recognize the device. I then put it in recovery mode and connected it to itunes and I clicked restore and it says that itunes can't connect until I put in the passcode, but I can't put in a passcode because it is disabled!!! I don't know how to fix it and it is only a month old, should I take it back?

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.

My iPhone 3G charges with a charger, but not when connected via USB to my computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.

Hello, my iPhone charges when I charge it with the wall plug but not when connected to a computer via USB and my iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone either. iTunes recognizes my iPod and iPad just fine. I have been to Apple iPhone support page and I have restarted my iPhone, the computer, tried different USB ports, etc. I have also tried my iPhone on different macs even with different versions of iTunes and no luck. This all started when I was cleaning out some lint from the usb connector, could I have damaged some part of the docking connection? But why does it charge with a wall plug then?

I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.

TS1591 i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone. I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone. My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarte

i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone. I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone. My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarted. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
