Upgrade worked, Itunes is saying it cannot connect due to password.....

I just upgraded to the 3.0 OS, however upon the phones final restart Itunes prompts me with "Itunes cannot connect to "xxx" because it is locked with a password. You must enter the passcode on the iphone before it can be used with itunes."
The problem is my phone doesn't let me enter my password, the only thing on the screen is the USB to Itunes logos and the slider for emergency only calls.
I just got the phone today.... everything was working fine and I had set a password for security reasons. I hope Apple didn't make this update and not anticipate users with passwords....
Can someone please help me resolve this?

Try this, it worked for me. With the cable connected to iTunes hold the "Home" and the "sleep" button together to reset the phone. Turn the phone on again and you'll get the password keyboard. You may need to click through the "connect" message on your mac but it will get you to iTunes eventually.

There are a number of threads from other people reporting the same iTunes connection issue - it looks like there might be a problem at Apple's end

Itunes is saying it cannot connect to this iphone but I have a touch.

I am a dance teacher and trying to sync up my ipod touch to my PC to get my new songs on it and make some changes to my itunes. Itunes will not allow the sync because of error 0XE8000065 which states itunes could not connect to this iphone. I have been having a lot of problems in the past few months with syncing in general like itunes saying that it does not authorize my PC when it is the only one I have ever used. I have updated the latest software and restored my ipod but that is as far as I can get.
Thank you for any help.

Your iTunes library is missing these songs or your iPod Touch is? If they are only missing from your iPod Touch, you can simply resync your music back over to it.
Otherwise, if the music is no longer in your iTunes library as well, you'll need to reimport or redownload those tracks.

Sign out of your iTunes Account... Close all Open Apps... Reset your iPad and Try Again.
You will not lose any data or settings...
Reset...
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.

I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased

I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased a film. We're going on a flight soon and would ideally like to watch one on the plane. Can someone please provide some step by step instructions. Thanks.

Rented or purchased video are watched through the videos app after you have downloaded them, iTunes on iOS devices is for buying media only.

ITunes tells me there is an update (5.1) but it never gets any further than trying to connect to the iPad server. I've tried updating directly from my iPad and it too times out saying it cannot connect to any server. My regular Apple updates work fine.

I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.
iOS 5.1 Software Update

You can wait a while & update at your convenience.

All I can tell you is that I am having the exact same problem with an iPod Touch and that I was running iTunes 9.2.1.5 at the time it happened. Upgraded to 10.0.0.68 hoping that it might help, but no joy.
I don't want to do a restore just now since the Touch seems to be working fine. Restore will have to wait until I have plenty of free time in case something goes wrong.

What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Place the iPOo in recovery mode for the passcode issue. For recovery mode:

I had the same issue. I tried everything unchecking / rechecking, formatting Iphone and restoring from backup etc etc.
In the end it was a simple issue which might of might not help you.
A number of months ago I relocated by Itunes folder to a NAS drive. It appears when I did the last I tunes update Itunes set the destination path of the Itunes media to the default location, the result was Itunes couldn't install music,apps, video until I set the correct destination path.
The bit that confused me was it was transferring some media. This was of course the media I had downloaded since the last Itunes update which had gone to the default location.
I hope that makes sense and is off some help.

Hey there julyduque,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the issue connecting to the iTunes Store on your iPhone 5s when trying to make in-app purchases.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, try updating your payment information as suggested in this article:

If you can't make an in-app purchase, try updating your payment information.
