iTunes can`t verify the identity of the server “init.itunes.apple.com”.

I have exactly the same issue here.

I tried to press connect anyway, then another 8 messages with the same issue showed up, just with different addresses:

init.itunes.apple.com

xp.apple.com

p12-buy.itunes.apple.com

itunes.apple.com

upp.itunes.apple.com

bookkeeper.itunes.apple.com

pd-st.itunes.apple.com

I already tried to manually install itunes with the latest version, but this did not solve the problem.

Due to this issue, I am also not able to use the AppStore anymore.

A quick solution would be appreciated.

Thanks

Same issue here, after updating to the latest patches for Safari, iTunes 12.1.2 and Security Update 2015-004, I am experiencing the same errors about the iTunes security certificates.

@Pacific_Str my software setup is the same as yours (running in iMac mid 2011)

@101DM101same errors for me, I tried to empty the iTunes cache but it is still not working

In addition to this, the APP STORE is not working as it should, take a look at this screenshot :

I am having the same problems. I am on a 2012 iMac running OS 10.9.5. After being unable to fix the iTunes certificate problems, I wanted to upgrade to Mavericks but then found the App Store issue.

I fixed the issue ! You have to reset your login KEYCHAIN by following these instructions

let me know it that helps.

Resetting the Keychain works!

Hi All.

I have met up with this issue myself. I closed the iTunes app, turned the date back by a few years (under Date and Time in System preferences), opened iTunes and reset the date to the present. Worked for me...

Thank you very much for this information fixed my issue🙂
