I've just gone through the same procedure on my development system and yes I get the same 'Could not connect' message. However, upon creating YT items, all works ok, so suggest you try that whilst we checkout the error message issue.
Thanks

Hi Zach - Actually the issue for me was that there was a leading space in the API key which is easy to pick up from the google site when copying the key.
Make sure your entered key has no leading or trailing spaces.

Had other similar reports, each case seams different. One thing to check is in google if you can 'enable' the API for your site or not.

In one case there was an 'enable' button at the top of the google API screen that needed clicking. nothing seams constant over there. I dont have that 'enable' button on mine.
