Keep getting the error message "cannot connect to iTunes..." error message (-3212)??, keep getting the error message "cannot connect to iTunes..." error message (-3212)??

I keep trying to upgrade my iPad using iTunes..The error message "cannot attach to iTunes store...error message (-3212).  Suggestions?

I get that problem once in a while and I will not be able to connect to the Internet with any of the 5 or 6 (or 7 or 8 ) web browsers that I use on my iPad. The one thing that I do that has never failed to work for me is to close all apps on my iPad and reset the device. I can't guarantee that it will work for you, but this works for me every time I get the server failed to load/can't connect to the Internet message.... Or whatever the exact message is.
If you have a ton of apps in the multitasking display, it can take a while to close them all, so you could just trey resetting the iPad first and that might be all that you need to do.
Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Hi Velvalee,
    While there may not be specific information about that error, here is an article of steps for troubleshooting connectivity issues with the iTunes store:

  • HT4623 I keep getting an error message "cannot connect to the internet."  Is this a problem with my internet provider, or has anyone else had this problem.

I have restarted the iPad when that did not work I deleted the account and reloaded it. Nothing seems to work. I was having the same problem on my iPhone but that seems to be OK today. Any other ideas?

  • Cannot connect to internet with firefox. Microsoft Explorer gives me an error message. I know my computer is connect, because I keep getting updates on the weather. What's up?

    I cannot connect to the Internet on my desktop with firefox since last night at about 8 pm. Everything was fine until then. I know I am "connected" because I get updates on the weather and my family tree works. I just cannot get email or surf the web. Please help.

    Microsoft Word is a Microsoft app. You should post your question to a Microsoft forum.

  • I cannot connect Firefox to the Internet. I keep getting an error message reading:" profile unavailable or inaccessible.

    I've downloaded a new version of Firefox and it has not responded at all. I keep getting a profile inaccessible or unavailable message. I've gone to Mozilla support to apply their fix to this specified problem, but have not had any positive results.
    I think the new version may be incompatible with my computer. I have a Windows Vista system and my IE browser works fine. Can you help??

    Hi!
    It sounds like you're having trouble with Firefox for Desktop. I'd recommend contacting the Firefox for Desktop support forum here: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop]; they'll be more knowledgeable and better able to answer your questions than the volunteers here at the Firefox OS forum.
    I hope that helps you!

  • Why do I keep getting the error message that my iPhone cannot connect to iTunes?

    I have tried all the suggestions that were in the articles about this problem but continue to get the error message.

    I have a similar experience with getting the message that my contacts have stopped. Here is my experience in resolving the issue.
    1. Phone: Motorola RAZR MAXX HD  24 GB of 32 GB free.
    2. OS; Android 4.4.2
    3. Message "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped"
    4. Possible cause: Contacts stops working when either Verizon Cloud or Backup Assistant try to synchronize with their respective online storage systems.  Also, neither APP managed to properly identify all my contacts. Cloud only backed up 13 of over 600 contacts. Backup Assistant Plus only backup up 360 of over 600 contacts.
    5. Resolution: I disabled both APPs after clearing their respective cache and data. Then I cleared the data and cache for Contacts. Assuming your have a Gmail account for your Android device, Google will repopulate your contacts from the web based email account. So, nothing is lost and no damage is done. This was my experience.
    6. Lesson learned: On my phone, and perhaps others, the Cloud and Backup Assistant are corrupted, or have bugs, and produce errors which interfere with the operation of Contacts when they try to synchronize, even imperfectly.  Clearing the data from Contacts, and disabling the two Verizon APPS, resulted in restoration of the Contacts function.
    7. Verizon's response: Verizon technical support pronounced itself mystified by the information presented here. So far, after two days, they have not responded with either a diagnosis or a fix. 
    8. My Expectations: I don't really expect Verizon to do anything at this point. I do have working contacts, and they are preserved via my Gmail account, so I have a working solution. It just doesn't involve Verizon software.

    I cannot synch movies to my iPad.  This has worked for me in the past.  I keep getting an error message that I am not connected to the internet.  Yet, I certainly am.  How else could I post this message.  I can listen to music clips from the iTunes store, fetch my email, and read current newspapers on the internet.  I restarted both my iMac and my Ipad and that didnot help. 

    I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
    Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
    Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems.

  • HT1689 I keep getting the error: Cannot connect to ITunes Store. I recently updated the iOS on the ipad3. Have tried heaps of fixes as suggested in various threads. DNS, date and time, reset etc

    I am a fairly new apple user, just got the new ipad, as part of an evaluation program. I recently did an iOS update and now keep getting the error message:cannot connect to iTunes Store... I tried date changing - no good ... The only thing that worked was to change the DNS setting to 0.0.0.0 as described in another thread. This fix for a day and now still getting the same error message and DNS setting changes do nothing. I have tried the reset method several times to no avail. I'm beginning tho think the ipad wasn't a great idea.... Apple need to attend to this. Like many, I have already wasted too much time looking for a fix. I am part of an IT in education group that will soon be recommending a specific hardware and OS. Could result in the loss of thousands of ipad sales for apple ....
    Anyhow... All or any suggestions are welcome :)

    Also, I've just learned that I can connect to download new apps, but cannot update any apps I've downloaded in the past. How might I go about connecting my reset apple ID with its history from before it was reset? I assume that is the biggest issue.
