What does too many http redirects mean and how do I fix it

Does anyone know what the **** "Too many http redirects" means, and how the **** do I fix it ??

500 errors in the HTTP cycle
Any client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) goes through the following cycle when it communicates with the Web server:
Obtain an IP address from the IP name of the site (the site URL without the leading 'http://'). This lookup (conversion of IP name to IP address) is provided by domain name servers (DNSs).
Open an IP socket connection to that IP address.
Write an HTTP data stream through that socket.
Receive an HTTP data stream back from the Web server in response. This data stream contains status codes whose values are determined by the HTTP protocol. Parse this data stream for status codes and other useful information.
This error occurs in the final step above when the client receives an HTTP status code that it recognises as '500'. Frank Vipond. September 2010.
Fixing 500 errors - general
This error can only be resolved by fixes to the Web server software. It is not a client-side problem. It is up to the operators of the Web server site to locate and analyse the logs which should give further information about the error.
Fixing 500 errors - CheckUpDown
Please contact us (email preferred) whenever you encounter 500 errors on your CheckUpDown account. We then have to liaise with your ISP and the vendor of the Web server software so they can trace the exact reason for the error. Correcting the error may require recoding program logic for the Web server software, which could take some time.

Too many HTTP redirects" won't allow my paid & free app purchases to download. What do I do ?

What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

What do I do when iTunes App Store says too many http redirects when I click on the data categories or top 25 tabs

I am having a problem getting into the App Store on my iPhone since the recent update, I have a 4s and it appears the feature tab is not working. When I try to go into the feature tab in the App Store I get a message "too many HTTP redirects" ?... Does anyone now hoe to fix this issue, the other tabs are working okay and everything is working on my iPad ?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

AppStore Show "too many HTTP redirects" .. HELP

Im from Malysia,
when i try to view apps in my iphone 5 apps store, it gives the ''too many HTTP redirects" message, what is the problem? someone enlighten me please.

Hi Markc Anthony. I was using iOS 5.1.1 before this and decided to upgrade. I did a full Update to iOS 6.1 through iTunes. I used one of my iCloud backups to bring back all my apps and Data. Since then I've been getting a message saying "Too Many HTTP Redirects" on the App Store.
I troubleshooted the steps by doing each of these steps:
I tried different Sections of the App Store and all gave me the same message "Too Many HTTP Redirects"
I went ahead and Check iTunes App and it looks like it has no issues.
I went to Settings\iTunes & App Stores and clicked on my Apple ID and signed out. I made sure every other switch was off. Then I went back to the App Store and still got the same message.
I went ahead and turned off the iPhone by holding the button at the top right corner and when prompted I slided the "slide to turn off" button. I waited about 5 seconds and then got to hold the top right button again until the Apple Logo flashed again. I still got the same message when I went to the App Store.
I went back to Settings\iTunes & App Store and signed back in. The App Store would still give me the same error message.
I finally gave up and did a full reset using iTunes again. I plugged in my iPhone clicked on its icon on iTunes and choose the button "Restore iPhone". I did not recovered from a backup this time and instead set it up as new. That actually worked. I am back to using my iPhone with no issues.
You all can try recovering from backup it might actually work, but I am having a feeling that the error may have to do with recovering from a backup using iCloud. You can try it again, but make sure you let it finish and do not stop it (There is a way to stop it).

Every time I click on the Categories tab or Top 25 tab in the app store, it says 'too many http redirects'

Every time I open the app store on my iPod touch, it says 'too many http redirects' whenever I click on the Categories and Top 25 tabs. I tried force quitting the app store, that didn't work. I tried closing all windows in Safari and force quitting safari, also didn't work. I reset the network settings, that didn't work either. When I reset all settings, it appeared to work. The tabs were different (it had a Genius tab), but it worked. However, immediately after force quitting the app store (I force quit a lot to keep as much RAM clear as possible), the same thing happened again. Does anyone know a permanent, Apple-supported solution to this problem? And please do not say restoring it. I don't want to start from scratch just to potentially experience the same problem.

to many HTTP redirects: Apple Support Communities
However, it seems to be an Apple/network problem beyond your control

Logs *FILLED* with "too many HTTP redirects".

as far as i can tell... this isn't causing an actual issue with any pages.
but my Console log is literally filled with :
*7/29/08 4:03:59 PM servermgrd[40] servermgr_web: Request for status failed: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1007 UserInfo=0xae42540 "too many HTTP redirects". Admin Web graphs may be inaccurate.*
literally non-stop all day long. doesn't seem to be related to server load / traffic at all really. timing works out to roughly every 1 minute (very slight drift)... i get 2 or 3 entries. sometimes with maybe a 10 second gap in the "groups".
example of the "groups" :
7/29/08 4:19:49 PM

it is getting very annoying obviously.
seeing the word "redirect" i did the obvious thing and disabled every single redirect i had on the entire site... including all subdomains. no change.
checked the master httpd.conf and the "sites" .conf files as well for anything else odd or redirect-ish looking. nothing.
since the timing is so regular... i can't really think what it might be.
one symptom i DO KNOW OF... is that the Server Admin app will not display the logs while the server is actively running. turn the server OFF ... shows the logs in the Log tab... turn server ON... that tab goes empty.
most likely related.
the logs are being written though. since i tail them just fine and see real-time activity.
i turned OFF all logging... error still shows up.
so as far as i can tell... not related to actual "Redirects"... not related to my disappearing log tab symptom...
any ideas?
IIRC this did NOT happen until migrating to Apache 2.
thanks.

could that be the problem?
another server is set-up pretty much identical to this one (other than the content and it has a CMS) with the same DNS set-up more or less. (no subdomains. but the double A like this one) and it doesn't have the same error. at all.
though... it also has functioning web graphs and logs in it's Server Admin.
thanks.

TS3320 " too many HTTP redirects"

Everytime I open up App Store on my iPod Touch 5g and try to click Categories or Top 25 a little pop up says " too many HTTP redirects" and does not let me view it. When I first got my iPod I didn't have this problem. How can I fix this problem?

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Go to Settings>wifi>the connected network and change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

How can you fix the too many http redirects on the App Store

Each time I use my App Store and click on top 25 or categories it says too many http redirects and I need help fixing this problem. This problem has been occurring for about 1-2 weeks

I never had happen on app store but try this:
Removing or clearing stored Safari content
To clear your history from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear History
To clear all cookies from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data
iOS 5 or later: To clear other stored information from Safari, tap Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data
referenced artilce HT1677. If it still does not work just use a computer and sync apps over or call apple support (you most likely will have to pay for it though).

App Store displays "too many HTTP redirects" after I click a link of the app from a browser. Help.

when i click a link to the app on the app store the browser closes and opens up the app store. after 3-5 seconds, a message pops up saying "too many HTTP redirects"
i tried to reset all settings, still the same error
i tried changing DNS servers, still the same error
i tried changing security encryption on the wifi router, still the same error
i tried to free up available space to 3GB, still the same error
i restarted, still the same error
This error occured 2 days after i updated the device to 6.1
the app store alone works fine, but when i clicked a link of the app from a browser, the app store displays this.
I'm using iPad Mini 16GB wifi
can someone help us eliminate this annoyance (or bug, i might call it)

It may be some apps on your iphone that is causing that.
Nope. The security on iOS means that no app can interfere with the OS or any other app. An app may crash, but it cannot cause any other app to crash or misbehave, and no app can affect system functionality, like networking.
you could download a virus protecter from the app store if you can acseess the app store.
Nope. The same security in iOS means that not only are there no viruses (or malware of any other kind) for iOS, but also that anti-virus apps are not possible. They would not be able to scan anything except themselves, which would be singularly unuseful. Thus, there are not actually any true anti-virus apps in the App Store. There are a couple that can scan your e-mail for you, but that is achieved through connecting to the IMAP server where your e-mail is stored. They cannot scan the phone.

HT5858 too many HTTP redirects

my phone says "too many HTTP redirects" when I try to access APPS, what to do?

You need to do a factory reset (erase all content and settings), set up as new phone, then input your icloud info to restore some data lost (contact ect..)
1. Set icloud to sync your important information
2. Remove any / all data from the device (backup will not work)
***PERFORMING A BACKUP VIA ICLOUD OR ITUNES WILL NOT RESOLVE THIS ISSUE - IF YOU RESTORE FROM BACKUP THIS FIX WILL NOT WORK! MUST SET UP AS NEW PHONE!
3.Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
4.Setup the iPhone (You Must Set Up As New iPhone)
5.Go to app store - no error
6.Sign into icloud and itunes account (Do Not Restore From iCloud Backup)
7.Go to app store - still no error
Hope this helps.

Too many http redirects in App Store for last week now why?!?!

What's up with this problem?

See:
AppStore Show "too many HTTP redirects"...: Apple Support Communities
Likely a network problem beyond your control.
