Thanks

    I am also facing the same problem. This is not getting resolved evenafter rebooting my iPad, swithing- off/switching-on the router etc., Even connection to Apple iTunes stores is not taking place since verification is failing. I bought this iPad 3 recently and installed the ios6 software.

    This seems to be a serious glitch.and is very frustrating.

    hollyshit my also same

     

    guys did you found same thing that i've my iphone 4s 32gb just now cannot access iTune at all it said

    verification failed

    the certificate for this server is invalid. you might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "setup.cloud.com" which could put your confidenttial at risk.

    now i'm stuck here even mail also not able to access what should i do next ??? restore back the original and retry to install all those apps ?
