tinyumbrella is a hack that made unknown changes to your iOS software.

It made changes to you hosts file in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Edit the file with notepad and look for any entries pointing to apple.com and delete them, reboot and it should resolve your issue. Don't run tiny umbrella again or it will modify your hosts file again and you will have same issue.

Are you saying that every time you go into hosts file the entries are back and you have to remove them? If so, tiny umbrella must be running resident and you will have to uninstall it or remark it's auto start out so it doesn't restart on subsequent reboots.

Do you have access to another PC or have you tried uninstalling iTunes, deleting all folders/directories pointing to iTunes. Create new user account on your PC with Admin rights, login with that account, disable Antivirus and Firewall and re-install iTunes with that new user account and then try your stuff.
