iTunes: How to fix error 6

If iTunes shows you error 6, the cause is unfortunately not precisely defined. We'll show you how to solve the problem anyway.

Fix error 6 in iTunes

• Administrator: First log in as administrator. In this way you can rule out a simple authorization problem.
• Time & Date: Also check the time and date settings. If the information is incorrect, iTunes cannot communicate with the Apple servers.
• Update iTunes: If you use a slightly older version of iTunes, this can also lead to problems. In this case, start an iTunes update.
• USB: If the problem occurs with a connected iOS device, use a different cable. Switching to a different USB port can also help.

iTunes: Get rid of mistake 6

• Often, error 6 is also triggered by a problem with security software in iTunes. Anti-virus programs and additionally installed firewalls can prevent iTunes from communicating for security reasons.
• Briefly deactivate all self-installed security programs. Then restart iTunes and check if the problem persists. But don't forget to switch your security programs back on afterwards!
• Uninstalling the software can also lead to success. However, this is only the case in rare cases.
