How to Fix iTunes Can’t Verify the Identity of the Server
This solution is tested works for the majority server verifying errors with iTunes. However, you should know that this bypasses the built-in security for trusting unknown (in this case Apple’s) certificates. The server-verifying errors are happening right after making an update through the App Store (official update for iTunes). So, the risk of getting malicious software, even when you disabled the built-in security for these Apple’s certificates, stays at a minimum level. Note: Using this procedure in cases when the server-verifying errors DO NOT occur after an official iTunes update increases the risk of getting malicious software on your Mac. Until this point, no one has reported negative results with this solution. Make sure to share your own experience in the comments below.
