"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.

    Hi jwebb88,

    Welcome to Apple Support communities.

    From what I understand, you see a warning message when you try to access the sign in the iTunes Store or access to configure your iCloud for Windows.  Try to take a look at the article below the link that provides a lot of information and troubleshooting tips that will help solve connection problems to the Apple servers.

    If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support

    See you soon.

  • There was an error connecting to server Apple ID

    Hello! I encounter this error for a while now. Thought it was some sort of problems with apple server, but now I see that there must be another problem.

    It's problem on my Mac. I encounter this when I try to connect to the App Store or iTunes. Account works fine on my iPhone.

    Found a few questions about it but nothing really helped. I saw that this problem can be caused by antivirus but I do not use one. I hope someone can help.

    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

    Keychain access preferences ▹... ▹ Certificates

    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.

  • 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.

    Hi Stelios,

    It is the site of the partner, and it was the last active site under your account - therefore when you delete it, you didn't is more couldn't identify, you do not have any other active site to be redirected to.

    I have restored, so you should be able to post the site that your choice of Muse.

    About the connection, after that you publish the site of Muse, connect to it directly by going to http://siteURL/Admin (replace siteURL with the URL that the site will be - should be like some - name.businesscatalyst.com)

    There is no need to connect to http://businesscatalyst.com/admin and then navigate to the sites you post of Muse, you can simply connect to each other directly by simply adding ' / admin ' at their address (URL).

    is it possible to fix this?

    Hi Merrick Davis,

    1. When you try to save files?
    2. are you unable to make changes to only the files in the C drive or the discs?

    Try these steps and see if it solves the problem:

    Step 1: Create a new user account and see if you can save files using this account.

    Refer to this link for help:

    Step 3: Perform a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time before the problem started.

  • 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.

    On the PC, when connecting each device, it loads a separate driver. You can try this trick when you want to get iTunes recognizes the iPhone 6. Thanks to the user of the CSA turingtest2 for the tip.

    Try the following:

    Open Control Panel > Device Manager

    Plug in your device

    Locate Bus USB Controllers > Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
    It is also possible that the device may appear under imaging devices, portable devices or other devices or as a device USB of MTB.

    Right-click and select software update of the driver...

    Click Browse my computer for driver software

    Go to C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support\Drivers or

  • There was a problem connecting to the server 'SERVER NAME' error guard appearing

    There was a problem connecting to the server 'SERVER NAME' error guard appearing even though the server is not on my current network.  I recently moved my iMac to a different location and a different network, and now he constantly tries to connect to the old server.  This message appears every 30 seconds and several of those who appear (see pictures) it's extremely frustrating because it makes the machine almost useless because I am constantly closing them.  No matter how many times I try to stop the activity monitor it it keeps reappearing, and I even tried a few terminal commands that I found online, then restarted the computer, but still had no success.  I would appreciate all the advice really.
