Verification failed : There was an error connecting to apple id server

First, I do not have an Iphone. Second, I am strictly doing this from my PC. I am able to to to ITunes Store when I am logged in under another user; but not as my administrator user; this started acting up when I upgraded to the latest version. I have done a system restore 3 times, I have ran diagnostics, I have uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes several times. This is very frustrating as you'd think my main administrative account should be able to log in vs. a plain standard user on my PC (not MAC). So, no, your advice unfortunately does not help; but, thanks.

I don't think you read my post. I do not use Icloud, I strickley access Itunes store from my windows PC; windows 7. I have been researching this issue for weeks now, reading many posts trying many thing, Contacted Apple and Kaspersky; Apple is no help whatsoever, they don't care.....Kaspersky determined it wasn't their software interfering since I uninstalled it. I can get to it under a standard user account, ,but no under my own which is administrative. Guess I won't be able to buy any music from Apple, will have to use alternate methods of getting my music. I GIVE UP!

i'm having the same problem. any fixes?

Thank you! It really was that simple.

Did not work

I have the same problem with my iPhone 6. Did you find a solution?

Thank you! Your solution worked for me.

Yup! This happened and fixed the problem! Thank you.

Thank you so much you saved my bacon 🙂

I had tried all the methods that were suggested and none of them worked for my phone. Thank you very much.

This was it!!!!

mine is still doing it

That just ***** that such a simple change could disconnect you from Apple iTunes Store, but it fixed my son's iPod. THANKS!

GOD BLESS YOU. YOURE THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS ACTUALLY USEFUL COMPARED TO EVERYONE AFTER 24 HOURS OF SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I was FINALLY able to log on with my apple ID...thank you!!! 🙂
