According to the Apple Support forums, it looks like a fix for this is to comment out gs.apple.com in your hosts file.

Comment it out in /etc/hosts by doing the following (taken from that page):

• Open Finder
• Hold down COMMAND + SHIFT keys and press 'G'
• Enter "/private/etc/" in the field and press "Go"
• Find "hosts" file in the directory
• Drag the file to your desktop
• Open it in text editor
• Remove the line that has gs.apple.com entirely or put a # at the beginning of it to comment it out
• Save the file
• Drag it back to the /private/etc/ folder.
• You'd need to enter your username and password to authenticate the move
