Keep getting the message that ITunes could not contact ipod update server because I am not connected to the internet - but there is an adsl connection online all the time. Any ideas?

I am experiencing the same problem and this solution does NOT work:
1. From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
2. Open the Internet Options control panel.
3. Click the Connections tab.
4. Click the LAN Settings button.
5. Select the Automatically detect settings checkbox.
6. Click OK in both windows.
7. Reopen iTunes and connect your iPod.
8. Update or Restore your iPod.
Any other helpful solutions, puh-leez???

  • Updating to ipod software version 1.2.1.

    I have just bought a new ipod (5th generation) and am prompted to update to version 1.2.1., when synchronizing with my computer. However, despite having no internet connectivity problems for anything else I get the following pop up message.
    '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'.
    Can anyone suggest how I could solve this?
    Many thanks,

    I had the same problem (before I bought my Mac). Apple hides the fix pretty well. It can be found here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304468. Hope this works for you!

  • Updating iPod firmware to version 1.03 - internet connection issue

    Hi,
    I was trying to update my iPod firmware, but it couldnt download the firmware package, trying to convince me I was not connected to the internet.
    How can man adjust connection settings for the iTunes, to be able to connect and download the update finally?
    I must add that I'm 100% connected to the internet.
    Another question is - what i get once i update to version 1.03. The thing i'm looking for the most is the ability of skipping albums, not just songs.
    Thanks
    Ivan

    1.0.3 will not provide the ability to skip albums... shuffles don't have that capability.
    Sorry...

  • Cannot update to latest software. error message states internet connection timed out

    Does anyone have a similar problem? I cannot update to the latest software for my I Phone 4. The error message says, internet connection timed out. Which is obviously has not. It also says check your internet settings. I am not sure what that means. I have windows 7.

    If the disabling the firewall doesnt help, then also try disabling your anti-virus, this was what was causing me an issue.
    Although make sure you re-enable both your firewall and anti-virus after the update completes.

    You need to continue with the Recovery...
    Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... After the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
