Using IOS 6 on iPad 3 I now can't download anything from the App Store

I keep getting the message "Can't connect to the iTunes Store" when trying to download a new app, update or music. It never happened with IOS 5. Wi-fi is especially sloooow now also. Used to use both Chrome and Safari browsers, now only Safari works. The Facebook app worked for a few days and quit. Other apps that require web connection return a message telling me "unsupported device attempting connection". The new Siri doesn't work because it can't connect. I'm excited about spending all of that money for a dust collector. Yes, I have done restart, reset and restore.

Well, this did not work.  I was able to use the App Store once then had the same problem again.  It lets me sign in to my account, then when buying or updating the little circle spins forever.
I've run the combo update 6 times and only had it work once.
What else can I do?
Reinstall Snow Leopard?
Install Lion?
One weird thing, when I make a clone then reboot from the clone App Store works just fine.  I can then clone it back to my internal drive.  A lot of work to get updates.  Why would it work on my external USB drive and not from my main drive?

    I just get a message--- after a long wait where the app icon says "waiting" that I can't connect to iTunes.
    Wifi signal is strong. All bars.

  • Why i can't download anything from the app store? (It turns  up "Error en el App Store. Vuelve a intentarlo más tarde. (null)"

    I am trying to download a game from the app store to my apple but it turns up "Error en el App Store. Vuelve a intentarlo más tarde. (null)".
    I am trying to download any other thing from the store and i can´t.
    I would like that somebody could tell me if it is a problem of my computer or if it is an apple problem , and if i can do something to solve  the problem.

    That cryptic error message might mean that the payment information in your account is invalid. Check with your credit-card issuer to see whether a charge was denied. If not, see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • I did the latest download for my iPad and now I can not download anything from the App Store or iTunes.  Please advice how I can fix this problem?

    I downloaded the last update on my iPad and now I can not  download from the apple store or iTunes.  I just sits there and continues to act like it will but nothing happens.  And then it times out and goes back to home screen.  Have  a 32 so have have plenty of room.
    What would you advice I do?  I purchased this iPad in dec 2013.

    Double tap your home button to bring up the most recently used apps.
    You'll see the app icon below and a screen shot of the app page above.
    With your finger swipe the app page above the app icon upwards to fully close the apps (you should do this regularly).
    Now, reboot your iPad.  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any data or settings.
    When your iPad comes back up, see if you can download again.

  • After updating to ios7, my apps won't update and I can't download anything from the App Store or iTunes Store.

    After updating to ios 7, I have tried to update my apps and I can't. I press update and put my password in, the blue circle goes round, but in a few seconds, it stops and acts as if nothing happened in the first place.
    Please help, as I can't play a game as it needs the new update!
    Thank you.

    This has been happening to a few people right after upgrading. Just wait and give it some time and you will get the updates. The other thing you may see for a while is that there are updates available, which in fact, have already updated previously. THose go away magically on their own.
    If you're feeling impatient, you could try to sign out of the App store from your Apple ID then sign back in. Not sure that's really helping anyone, but it may.

  • Y I can't download anything from the App Store to my iPod touch 4

    Can't download any apps from the store with upgrade. And my device won't let me
    Upgrade to iOS7

    I suspect you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Can't download anything from iTunes/App store

    For the past week, everytime I try to download anything from the App store or iTunes I get a message saying "Unable to Download App" then it says "name of app/song trying to download" could not be downloaded at this time.  Done or Retry.
    I have logged out of iCloud, iTunes and my AppleiD and nothing has worked.  I went online on my Mac and updated my credit card (which was not out of date) and tried to buy a sont on my Mac...purchased, but could not be downloaded.  All my devices are having the same problem.  In the Error details on my Mac it says to check the Internet connection and try again.  My wifi is working fine on my mac and iPhone.
    Any suggestions?
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1, since last iOSupdate was installed

    I found a solution, and it's horrible.
    1. Back up your data. I used iCloud, but I also made a restore file through itunes, though you CAN'T USE THAT RESTORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. It will just install the problem anew! Delightful!.
    And then,  basically do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 which translates to:
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data
    3. Set up your iPad as a new ipad - if you choose to restore from an old restore file, you'll just reinstall the original problem.
    4. Connect to iCloud to reclaim your iCloud stuffs.
    5. Spend the next hour annoyed and frustrated as you restore your music, photos, apps, etc... to what you think you had them.
    But miraculously, this let our ipad download apps again.
    Again, restoring from a backup will not fix the problem.
    All this speaks to some issue that requires the drive on the ipad to be reformatted with new permissions, or something, which is pretty **** annoying. Waiting to see the problem re-appear after it's finished syncing my music. Hurray!

  • I can't purchased anything from the App store..... HELP ME

    I can't purchased anything from the App store, it keeps telling that there is a problem with the previous purchased and when I tried to re-enter the information , this message keep showing " your payment method was declined please use valid method" even though I've used it before . what can I do ? could anyone please help me?
    Thanks

    Either that or you can just buy an iTunes card and put it on the account. I've have itunes account for a long time so maybe this plays a part in it but I don't have a CC tied to my account. I have the option to choose "none" and that's what I have it as. I used to have a card on there years ago but I removed it and never had to have another on it. Any purchases I make come from iTunes credits (iTunes card or credits I got from redeeming rewards).

  • HT201365 I can't purchase anything from the App Store

    Since my update to ios7 I can't purchase anything from the App Store? How do I fix this?

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then restart your iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try the App Store.

  • HT4718 How come I can't download anything from mac app store?

    How come I can't download anything from mac app store?
    I've tried everything it all started when my apple app store icon in the doc disappeared.
    It will not go to the Mac App Store
    I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
    os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
    I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
    Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?

    If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.

  • I have a MacBook running OS X v10.6.8 and I'm trying to upgrade to Mouton Lion but I can"t download it from the app store. It says I need a intel core duo which i have. does anyone know whats happening here?

    I have a MacBook running OS X v10.6.8 and I'm trying to upgrade to Mouton Lion but I can"t download it from the app store. It says I need a intel core duo which i have. does anyone know whats happening here?

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion. 
    Computer Compatibility - Lion
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.      
    Application Compatibility
    You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.

    10.9 is free, so you could upgrade to that if you wished
    if that's not an option for software compatibility reasons, you'd either need to re-install it from the original disks (that came with the computer, or a seperate iLife disc), a backup, or purchase a boxed version from someplace like eBay or Amazon (Amazon has iLife '11 for $39)

  • Could not use apple acct to download anything from the App Store

    Could not use my apple ID to download anything from the app. Store, why? Please don't make me regret buying iPad 4, been saving for this for a long time and for what? ✋

    I thought I was trying to help you. Please be aware that most replies you receive here are from fellow users like me, and most of us don't spend all our day on these forums and hence may not reply immediately. So patience is going to be helpful.
    Have you tried resetting the iPad? For instructions see:

    That may fix the problem.

  • How can I download  software from the App store a second time?

    Hi,
    I purchased OS 10.7 from the App store because I no longer had the original discs from my computer.
    I downloaded it on to one of my computers, but now I want to put it on a second computer but the App Store say "You've already downloaded this " and I'm unable to get it. The App Store says I can download it 5 times...?
    Anyone know the solution?

    Go to your second computer, login to the App Store using the same AppleID you used when you purchased OS X Lion and download it from THAT computer. Or, since you mentioned you downloaded it to one computer and both computers are on the same local area network, share the Install OS X Lion.app file with your second computer or put it on an 8GB USB thumb drive, unplug the drive, plug it into your second computer and copy it to its /Applications folder.
