Error connecting to server Apple ID

I try to connect to the App Store on my iMac running 10.11.4 and get the message "There was an error connecting to server Apple ID"

I then tried to access App Store from my iPhone and iPad and had no problem connecting.

What the * beep * is the problem, I can't understand why I would be able to connect from my mobile, but not my desktop.

The only thing that seems logical is there another server (address) for iOS and OS X to connect to and it is online and working while the other is to have certain types of questions and/or is currently offline.

Does anyone have any ideas or patches?

They are two different application for one stores. Mac, you connect on the Mac App Store. Since iOS devices, connect you to the iTunes App Store.

Firewall, antiviral software and applications such as Little Snitch can interfere with the Mac App Store.

  • "There was an error connecting to server Apple ID" not reliable CRL issue

    I started getting errors connecting to my Apple account on iTunes/App Store / iBooks etc., I noticed today.

    In an attempt to connect, it would return the message "There was an error connecting to server Apple ID"

    This debugging with Wireshark, I noticed that iTunes has been disconnected as soon as he saw the server SSL certificate.

    I opened the url field that he was using (https://gsa.apple.com) in Safari to see if reported certificate issues, and he confirmed that the intermediate certificate, although valid, could not be verified on LCR this is because he believes http://crl.apple.com/root.crl is unreliable CRL.

    Other computers, OSX, I checked are used the same certificate and validate the certificate successfully.

    I tried to set the certificate to always trust, but it has no effect.

    I changed Keychain Access-> Preferences-> Certificates-> certificate revocation list (CRL) of "Best tent", which seems to fix the problem, but I'm not keen on this change, because it could weaken the security of my computer compared to "demand if the certificate shows."

    Is it possible to restore the confidence of OSX CRL for this problem?

    In fact, I found just Keychain Access from another computer-> Preferences-> Certificates-> CRL (CRL) list is set to "Best tent", and causes 'Require if the certificate shows' the same question, so I guess it's a problem with the server Apple ID certificates themselves.

    I think I put the CRL settings to "Demand if the certificate indicates" some time to try to improve security. At one point, until recently, the https://gsa.apple.com worked with these settings so perhaps they changed the intermediate certificate, which presents the problem of CRL unreliable. It is http://crl.apple.com/root.crl and not https seems suspicious and could be the source of the problem untrustedness.

    Please launch the Keychain Access application in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Select in the menu bar

    There are three menus in the window that opens. Change the selection in the main two down one to LCR and the best attempt.

    Quit Keychain Access. Sign out and then sign back in.

    Can Hello someone please help me?

    I have a 4th generation Apple TV and I can't seem to accept my apple ID and password.

    Chosen English (United Kingdom)

    Chosen UK

    Tried to associate a device with the establishment (iPhone 6s)

    Has no more than 10 times, even if the password is correct

    Error message that appears is "audit failed there is a connection to the Apple ID server error."

    Tried the manual log, same error message.

    Tried the manual paper but this time I skipped the Apple ID Login, to see if I could connect via iCloud and ITunes manually in the menu, same error message appeared.

    It recognize my wifi, so this isn't a problem. Restored to factory settings.

    Connected on my computer apple laptop not and connected on iTunes Music store to enter the password and verified it was OK, write down each letter/number, I typed the.

    Tried to pair the device several times over, has kept getting the same error message. The manual bit once again, same error, again restored factory settings.

  • Check error: there was a problem connecting to the server Apple ID

    When I try to connect to my iTunes on my Windows laptop account it is said there is a problem connecting to the Apple ID server. This problem did not begin until 2 days. I have the latest version of iTunes and Windows.

    What is the number of the version of iTunes?

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    Start by missing error MSI.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.
