  • Itunes could not contact iPod update server ...not connected to internet

    Please help. I have: Win XP Pro, SP2; itunes 7.0.1.8. iPod ver. 1.1 5G Video iPod. Am getting error: "itunes could not contact the iPod update server because you are not connected to the Internet."
    But I am connected to the internet, and can download podcasts and access itunes store. But I cannot download ipod ver. 1.2, and thus I assume this is the reason that I am getting incomplete syncs on video podcasts.
    I have followed the Apple site's recommendation to ensure the LAN settings button is set to "Automatically Detect Settings" but I still get the error.
    I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it again; still getting error. I have disabled my firewall; still no luck.
    I welcome any help, please!! Thanks.

    I have been trying for 3 hours to make this work -- I've checked the box and tried; unchecked the box; rechecked, rebooted and tried ... you get the picture.
    hmmmm.
    by any chance, are you using a proxy? in the context of Store connections, i've seen a problem with a proxy cause a connection issue, even though the network diagnostics looked perfectly clean.
    working on that theory, if you are using a proxy perhaps try the techniques from this document:
    iTunes for Windows can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect
    or perhaps just try to see if the connection to the update server goes through if you if you try this without the proxy.

  • I cannot seem to get iTunes to contact software update server. Seems to only give a progress bar which but never seems to contact.  running latest version of Lion and latest iTunes

    I cannot sseem to contact the iphone software update server.  Only get progress bar, but never seems to contact.  Am running Lion 1-.7.3 and most recent version of itunes(10.6).  What is up?

    The servers have been jammed with everyone trying to get the new version of iTunes and iOS, so you may just need to wait a day or so until things calm down.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    At the very bottom of the page it says to contact apple if you have a problem other than shown -- as the site does not say it is testing the connection between you and it -- assume it just says we are up and running.

  • Not connecting to Ipod update server

    When I try to update my Ipod classic I get a message that I can connect to the Ipod update server as I am connected to the internet. I am connected to the internet. Why can't I connect to the Ipod update server?

    This is happening with my Nano 1st G as well. Followed the trouble shooting tree from apple with no luck. I am hoping it would fix my controls not working after the nano wakes up. I tried all of the 5 R's.

  • Can't connect to the iPod update server

    I am trying to restore my 5G iPod with video, but I am not able to connect to the iPod software update server. If there is anywhere that I could manually download the Firmware version 1.3 I would appreciate it. My iPod is currently running firmware version 1.2.2.

    The iPod update server could not be contacted.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later
    That's the error.

  • Playbook Activation could not connect to update server (9).

    good day to all,
    I got a new Playbook yesterday and i have to activate it and update for the first time. it says "could not connect to update server (9)." what does this mean? Can anyone help me? What are the steps to resolve this. Thanks.

    First Try turning off the security on your router temporarily. If that doesn't work try a free wifi hotshot like mcdonalds or starbucks.

  • Error executing search on Plumtree Corporate Portal : Could not contact the Search Server.

    Hi
    I have intsalled the plumtree portal.... The links are working. But when i search any word then it gives following error messages
    "Error executing search on Plumtree Corporate Portal : Could not contact the Search Server."
    Please let me know what could be the solution to above problem
    Thanks

    Santosh,It appears that your portal server can not connect to the Search Server.1) Check to ensure that the "Plumtree Portal Search Server" NT Service is running. It will be an NT service. If you check the PlumtreePortal_v5-0.properties file you should see two entries for where you installed the Search service.SEARCH_SERVER_HOST=servernameSEARCH_SERVER_PORT=15244
    2) If the service is not started, then start it...
    3) You can test connectivity to the Search Server by telnetting to server in question at port 15244 (or whatever port you installed the search service on). If you get a response from Ignite, then the search server is up..

  • Installed Snow Leopard OK, but when uploading the Mac os x Update Combined, it would not save. It said it could not connect to update server, but my internet connection is working?

    Installed Snow Leopard OK, but when uploading the Mac OS X Update Combined, it would not save. It said it could not connect to update server, but my internet connection is working. Any suggestions on fixing?

    Run software up date, write down the update name and version. Go to the Apple site and do a search for the updates one at a time and download them one at a time. Use an ethernet connection, sometimes software update "crushes large updates. I have experienced this before.  Hope it helps.  ATB

  • HELP! iPhone 3GS stuck in recovery loop and iTunes gives error message" iPod update server can not be contacted"

    As I said, it's an iPhone 3GS (never jailbroken), iOS 4.1, PowerPC G4 OS X 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2. I have had the phone since new, never had any issues with it and am at my wits end trying to figure it out. I have seen many different solutions to this exact problem, but none have worked for me. Anyone have any ideas?

    This is what I posted to someone else having an update issue... Just for your information:
    I having the same issue about the and iTunes says "The iPhone cannot be  restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could  not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.". I've had the  iPhone  3GS since it came out. It was working fine until I just tried to  update  it. It has NEVER been hacked or jailbroken. WE AND A FEW OTHERS are  having  the same issue then it is more than likely that this is an  update issue.  I took mine to the Apple store and the tech tried to  update it and he came to the same problem and told me he couldn't  update it. My assumption is that we are not the only one's with this  issue and that if  there was a way to update it to the update before  this last one it  might be a solution. I don't know how to get the  previous update. Apple  probably is aware of the problem, and hasn't  come up with a solution yet. Or, enough people haven't complained yet.  The tech suggested that  there might be something wrong with the phone  itself, but that couldn't  be since it was working perfectly before I  updated it and others are  having the same issue. It is highly unlikely  that a lot of people are having the same hardware issue all of a  sudden at the same time. Apple/iTunes needs to fix this... and hopefully soon
    Also:  I can update or restore my iPhone 5 and other iPhones so it is not an  issue with my firewall or other software on my computer. No one touches  my iPhone or my computer they are secure, locked all the time, and I  have no jailbreak software on my computer (Apple tried it and they are  clueless at the moment from what I can tell).
