Why I can't connect to iTunes store
Every time I try to update something in my iPad can't connect to iTunes store. I key in all my passwords and change my passwords is still not working. Any reason why is message always show up.
Kevin,
We've all been there before. Fortunately, there are some steps we can take to troubleshoot. First off, let's verify that you can connect to the internet from your iPad in the first place:
Open Safari and type www.apple.com. Does the website load? If not, go to Settings>Wi-Fi and select your preferred network. If you prefer to use 3G or 4G data, make sure you've connected that instead. Try bringing up Safari again and verifying the website loads. If not, you'll need to contact AppleCare Support for further troubleshooting.
If you're able to connect to the Internet, but are unable to connect to the iTunes Store, make sure you can do the same from another device on the network (i.e. Computer, iPhone, iPod Touch, etc.) If no other device can access the iTunes Store, it could be a port setting or firewall issue with your network. However, if it's isolated to your iPad alone, the App might need reset. Try this:
1. Log out of your account by going to Settings>Store
2. Quit the iTunes Multitasking Session by rapidly double-pressing the Home button, holding your finger down on the iTunes icon until it giggles, then selecting the red minus sign. Press the Home button again to return to the home screen.
3. Go back into the Store (Settings>Store) and sign back into your Account.
4. Bring up iTunes and attempt your purchase again.
If none of these steps help, I would contact AppleCare directly as it could be a software defect that iTunes support could cure. Calling AppleCare first would allow them to determine if there aren't any hardware defects, prior to forwarding your case to iTunes support. -They are very fast in resolving any issues and I've had nothing but good experiences with them in the past.
I truly hope this helps! Good luck!

My ipad2 says it can't connect to iTunes Store when I try to download something. I could do this a few days ago but not now. Anyone tell me why?
Try signing out then back in. Try again.

i have a problem when i try to update or install apps in my ipad, and a message come up says "can not connect to Itunes Store", anyone know why? please advise. however i had update all my detail of payment method.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Power cycle the router.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved. -
When trying to download an app, I get the "can not connect to itunes store" in spite of being signed in. What is blocking this?
You will need to contact iTunes Support, which you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users on these forums, we won't know why the message is appearing) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Whenever I buy something in game, it says that " can not connect to itunes store". Why???? I fill all my payment information in app Store, bt I couldnt buy any thing. Why???
Additonally, at this point I really want to talk to someone who cares about how a customer like I might feel in such a situation and when I call corporate would like to talk to someone who is interested in hearing my input as it really sucks to think I really don't feel like going to the store anymore and would rather just buy stuff on amazon or newegg these days instead;/ When I know how much i used to enjoy going into the store and getting friendly with kind staff who worked with me to get the best deal on the items I got--perhaps this was because it was at a more desperate time when Best Buys fate as a company was more precarious prior to price matching taking origin. Also, on an aside, would like to add that obviously there is always the one or two people who go out of their way to make sure you have an excellent expeirenece so I am not trying to make any sweeping generalizations here. In fact, I find the forum contributors to be among the most kind and helpful, but that might be because they don't have to deal with the now seemingly dreaded "pricematch" epidemic;D

Can't connect to iTunes store - why?
Hi,
i tried all I could find about this problem in the support, but I stiall can't connect to the Store from my iTunes.
I run Windows XP, last version of iTunes (10.6.3.25), Windows Firewall is not active, in the browser the Security options are checked (SSL 3.0 and TSL 1.0), in other words I just can't understand why I can't connect to the Store.
Someone could help?
Thanks,
LorenzoClose your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

While updating or downloang apps in my iphone, it appears, Can not connect to iTunes Store. My software is up to date and there is no problem in wifi.
Can anybody explain why I can't connect itunes?
Thanks in advance
OmerWhere are you when connected to this Wifi?
Home - At Work - Coffee Shop other locations??
Home -
May need to reboot router - check ISP for any recent firmware updates for router - Reset All Settings - Reset Network Settings [NOT Erase All Content and Settings -> As this wipes the device back to factory settings]
Work -
See the IT Guy and ask about any "Other Security WiFi Blocks"
Other locations [Secure WiFi] -
Try a location with a Non Secure WiFi -> As these locataions "typically" do not have a IT Guy to go to for questions regarding [Other Security WiFi Blocks]
Non-Secure WiFi -
Then try the steps below [Even with the others listed above]
Just because you may be able to get to a Secure and Non Secure Website on safari on the iphone does not mean the WiFi connection is "Perfect or ok" and I am not saying it is not.
Also take into effect servers for iTunes updates/Apps etc could be overloaded at that time.
You can also try a simple Hard Reset [Hold down Sleep/Wake button and Home button at same time - Once see Apple Logo release both buttons - Allow iphone to reset]
If have already tried these and have not contacted AppleCare Support try that too.
Hope these help you! -
