Itunes says 'cannot connect to internet' to update my 3gs to OS4

My Itunes recognizes that the newer version of software is available, yet when i click update it reads 'Itunes cannot contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again'.
My internet connection seems to be active everywhere else but here. Any help/solutions. Thanks

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you tried the following document?

There is a plugin for Firefox - see here
http://latestversionplugin.com/current-version-plugin-itunes-application-detecto r.html
It should be installed automatically if you install iTunes, but I guess when you installed iTunes you didn't have Firefox. Just reinstall iTunes and it should work OK (your iTunes library will not be affected)

What exactly has changed?
Just the computer, other things?
More information on your actual setup is needed - Particularly how things are connected on the local network and to each other.
In theory the new computer should not affect Apple TV's ability to rent and play a movie if the rental was made on the AppleTV itself. The problem may have nothing to do with the new computer unless changes have been made on the router to let it connect and it's caused AppleTv to disconnect, or the PC has been assigned the AppleTV's IP address which is no longer available to AppleTV hence it thinks it's lost connection.
Try powering off the router, restarting and see if the AppleTV internet connection returns. Restart AppleTv too if needed. Check any ethernet cable connections or wi-fi settings on AppleTV if it doesn't re-establish the internet connection. By the way an ethernet cable plugged into AppleTV will disconnect it's wi-fi connections.

Airport problem-cannot connect to internet since update

I like many folks here is new to a Mac. I have a iMac intel duel processor. i apparently did this update to 10/4/8 10/2/06. Since then airport does not work and I cannot connect to internet at all. I have talked to Apple customer service but so far no help there. They want me to reinstall disc that came with computer. I also have a new MacBook that has update also. I can set it beside the iMac in my office and it works great. We have a wirelss system in our home and a PC and the MacBook still connect with no problem. Settings on iMac and MacBook look identical to what I can tell. Nothing I try to connect works, rebooting, change some setting. Can anyone offer easy to follow suggestions to a new Mac user. Thanks

Since it's only the iMac that's having the issue connecting using WPA, we don't need to troubleshoot the router or the other computers.
I suggest trying the following on the iMac before attempting to reload the previous version of the OS.
If you use "Preferred Networks," instead of "Automatic" for your "By default, join" setting Location, try the following:
System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort > AirPort tab
- Delete all preferred networks with encryption
- Add them again after manually connecting
(Note: It will be faster if you turn on "Automatically add new networks to preferred networks list" under "Options" of the AirPort network connection.)
If this doesn't work, something might have gone wrong with the update to 10.4.8. I would suggest that you follow the Apple Tech's recommendation and reinstall the previous OS using the installation disk that came with your iMac.

Can't finish upgrade on atv, when verifying with iTunes says cannot connect to update server. Help!

When upgrading my atv I can't seem to connect to the apple update server. Wondering if I. Need to change my host file and if so how do I do that?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

Disable your firewall AND antivirus. If you have ever used this computer to hack or jailbreak ANY iDevice (not just the one with the problem) you will have to restore your hosts file to the way it was before you did so.

Why does Apple TV say cannot connect to internet

My Apple TV will not stay connected to the Internet. Message says "apple tv is not connected to Internet" after playing movie for a few minutes. My Internet
connection is good. Thanks much

OK, I figured out that I needed to re-enter my wifi password.

HT1320 my ipod says ipod disabled connect to itunes......itunes says cannot connect unless i enter a code to unlock ipod????

my ipod is locked sying to connect to itunes....itunes won't connect because the ipod is locked???what can i do?

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Itunes says cannot connect to itunes check your network but i have internet!! i have windows 7 so someone pleassee heelp

i need to go on itunes and it wont let me, i cant get onto my account so i am on my friends computer signed on as me, if i restore will i get her music?

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 & 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:

Itunes won't connect to internet or update, NO ERROR MESSAGE!

So when I plug in my iPod touch 5th gen and go to store, it doesn't do anything! It just says "Accessing iTunes store..." and that's it. When I try to update or back up my iPod it says the update server is unavailable try again later and the back up gets stuck at Step 2. I tried all the anti virus stuff, firewall stuff, reset my winsock, release/refreshed my internet.

Hi there,
I sounds like you have already tried a few steps, but I would still recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

My iPhone is in recovery mode but in Itunes it cannot connect to thge software update server

I unsuccessfully updated new software yesterday which resulted in my phone completely crashing. It told me to connect to iTunes. When I did this it said I must restore to factory settings which I did and then attempted to restore iPhone. It then needs to connect to the iPhone software update server but it has been trying to do this all night and cannot.
Any ideas? Unsurprisingly I can't get an appointment at the Apple store until Friday and am without a phone in the meantime.
Many thanks

Hi Matt2602,
I hope you are able to get your iPhone restored soon.

What happened between June 11 (last store connection) and today? Did you upgrade itunes? If yes, you will need to allow the new version of itunes in your security software firewall.
Also, the diagnostics show you are not an administrator - can you log in as an administrator and access the store?

Cannot connect to Internet (using Safari)

Hi all.
I got my Macbook (unibody) for about 7 months ago. I have never had any problems with it, but now suddently Internet has stopped working. I am using only Safari. It just says "cannot connect to Internet" when i try get online. The weird thing is that Internet works to all other computers here at home, but not on mine. I have checked that all the cords are plugged in and all lights are on. I have tried using the internet cords for the other computers on my Mac, but they dont work. The cord i am using is working on other computers too, so there is nothing wrong with it. It is like my Mac doesn´t "recognize" that i have the cord plugged in. When i am on the systems settigns it says that everything is offline, and when i am on the Ethernet settings it does not have any IP adress written or anything, and i have chosen "Use DHCP".
What should i do? I was watching a movie yesterday and had the laptop in my lap, maybe it got overheated or something? Or is it something wrong with the network card? Please help, this is so frustrating!

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
