iTunes Windows 10 Cannot Connect to Apple ID Server FIX!!

So I just wanted to share a fix for iTunes, its a bit backwards though but thats ok. So i have Windows 10, I upgraded my iTunes to the latest version via the application. It then game be an error not able to access the Apple ID Server and I could no longer access my PAID APPLE MUSIC ACCOUNT ON MY PC....


However I went 10 rounds with apple support no luck, uninstalled and reinstalled with revo uninstaller and cleaned everything, tried the netsh winsock reset method no luck.


The ONLY FIX I figured out was to Revo Uninstall iTunes, delete iTunes Library.itl file, find an older version of iTunes 12.2 for Windows, install it and BAM! It works i got my Apple Music back.


So for those of you who are frustrated by this like i was, go back to the classics find an older version of iTunes from google at a minimum 12.2 and you are good to go. I hope this helps people, it took me one month of on and off again attempts at fixing this.


Now I am back to blasting AC/DC at work.

null-OTHER, Windows 10, null

While that may work for you if you are only using iTunes, and not with an iOS device like an iPhone, iPod, or iPad. The latest of those requires the latest iTunes. I'm not sure what this Revo program is, but the proper removal and reinstallation of iTunes can be done following the steps in this support document.

The latest iTunes works just fine with Windows 10. If you still experience problems after removal and re installation, then check this ASC User provided tip. Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
