App store isnt working on iPhone 5, says "cant connect to app store".

For the past couple weeks, I have not been able to download any new apps or update any apps on my iPhone. I have an iPhone 5 and its software is up to date. Everytime I go to the App Store, it says "Cant connect to app store". Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem.  My iPhone is 1 week old, and as of last night, 10/11/12, my app store would not function corretly.  I can open the app store but the following tabs do not work:  Featured, charts, and search.  By "do not work" I mean that the gray spinning wheel will go for a while and then stop as if it is finished loading but the screed will still be blank aside from the top and bottom banners of the app.  The Genius and Updates tab work fine.  This is very annoying and nothing I have done so far has fixed it.  I have restarted the app, restarted my phone, "hard" restarted my phone, and reset my network settings.  I have also tried accessing the app store on wifi and 3g/4g and neither work.  Everything has been done except a factory reset of my phone but I am avoiding that for now.  I have seen MANY others in the forums with this concern so is there anyone that has successfully solved this problem?
Help would be much appreciated.

    Hello Emamoe,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when making an in-app purchase on your iPhone.  I found a couple of articles I recommend for this issue.
    First, I recommend using the steps in the section titled “Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch” in the following article (the article title refers to the iTunes Store, but the steps are relevant for the App Store as well):
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    If the issue persists after following the steps in that section, I recommend continuing with the steps in the section titled “Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)” in the article below.  This section will help you isolate the network issue that could be blocking you on those apps:

    I had the same experience with a new iPhone 5 that I bought  last week. Did not have a chance to measure battery life before the 6.0.2 upgrade installed but I set up my phone exactly like my 4S and immediately started running out of power after short periods. Went to Xmas get together with fully charged 5 and 4S. Heading home the iPhone 5 shut down for low battery and the 4S had 65% power. Both phones had two half phone calls on then and no data usage.
    That night I fully charged the iPhone 5 and, without lighting it up, put it on my night table. Next morning I picked it up and looked at battery indicator and I had 42% charge with NO activity!
    Tried it again next night and wound up with 37% charge. (Slept longer).
    Today I called the carrier and reactivated the 4S.  Took the 5 to Apple Store and they kindly gave me choice of new replacement phone or refund. I took the refund. Uniquely, the Apple Store said it was Verizon CDMA phones that were coming back.
    The are other strings on this with temporary solutions, but from my experience with 7 firmware changes on an HTC 4G phone the problem will continue because the solution will be hardware caused. We are in the days where RTM means Rush to Market - not Release To Manufacturing.
    I fear the only solution is to either wait for the next model (I did not notice a really major change in performance over the 4S in LTE heavy Seattle area) - or switch to another manufacturer.
    It might be useful for these forums to indicate if you have a GSM or CDMA phone to see which have more problems.
    Discouraged....

    Was it can't connect to update server?
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Do you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • Cant connect to itunes store it says connection has timed out

    when i try to access the itunes store it says cant connect to itunes store connection has timed out make sure your network setting are correct and your network connection is active, then try again....i have re-synced and downloaded the new itunes,i can access it on my ipod touch 3rd gen. but when i go to it on the computer it doesnt work i NEED HELP!!!

    I've had the same problem for the last two weeks. Finally resolved the issue in Windows 7.
    Go to start button, control panel, system & security, windows firewall. On the left side of the box click on "advanced settings." On the left side of the box again click on "Inbound Rules." You should be able to see iTunes under the name category. Make sure it has a green check mark next to it. If it does not, then double click on the name. In the "general" box which comes up open, click "Allow the Connection." That worked for me. Somehow itunes was blocked but now I can access the itunes store again.

  • My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly.

    My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly. Even when i sign in and out.
    Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.
