3. Configure your security software
After updating your security software, configure it correctly to allow iTunes to contact Apple. The steps used to properly configure the security software will vary, and to find the exact steps, visit the manufacturer's support website or otherwise contact them for assistance.
Useful information for configuring your security software:
IMPORTANT: iTunes must be allowed to contact Apple using the following ports and servers:
- port 80
- port 443
- phobos.apple.com, deimos3.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, ax.itunes.apple.com
For a more complete list of ports used by Apple products see "Well known" TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products. iTunes also contacts VeriSign servers during an iPhone restore and activation:
- evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
- evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
For more information see iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages.
4. Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software
If the current available version of your security software is incompatible with iTunes, you can disable the security software and test if it is the source of the issue. However, a temporary deinstallation might be required because parts of some security software remain active in the background though they appear to be deactivated. Only temporarily uninstall security software after making sure you can reinstall it and have noted any required licenses.
To reduce any security risks that security software is designed to prevent, consider making sure all files needed to reinstall it are available and disconnect network connections before uninstalling security software. Should this not be possible, such as updating or restoring an iOS device, that required step should be the only process completed without security software. For assistance in checking your configuration, disabling, or uninstalling your security software, please contact the manufacturer.
Once disabled or uninstalled, perform only the steps required to verify your issue has been resolved. Complete whatever update, restore, syncing, back up, activation, or other task you were troubleshooting. Once that task is complete, install and configure compatible security software to ensure your computer is protected.
Did you check all those settings? Are you running the latest version of iTunes? Is your Windows up to date?
dear sir, i was stopped my security firewall and then restart the itune and try to connect but still coudt connect .in diagnostics shows "secure link to itune store failed "
