Hi, Kristeen, I googled this and found this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451which indicates trying a reset, and if that doesn't work, check your network settings or connect directly to the Internet using iTunes on the computer. It has instructions for bringing up the host list on the Mac using terminal, etc. There is a lot involved, but perhapss doing a reset will work, and the other steps won't be required.
