App Store Updates (but only Updates) cannot connect to iTunes Store

The App Store icon on my homescreen shows I have 6 updates waiting to download.
When I go to App Store > Updates it says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".
I can browse online with Safari so have internet connectivity. Every other tab in the App Store (e.g. Top 25) connects and I can download new apps. I can also access the iTunes store by using the iTunes icon - I can view and download anything from iTunes. The ipod touch can therefore connect to the iTunes Store, but for some reason the App Store Updater cannot.
I'm using OS 5.1.1, have searched the forums, shutdown and restarted the ipod, checked the DNS, logged out and in of my iTunes account, used different wi-fi networks, but no progress. Any tips would be massively appreciated !

Thanks schan20, this worked perfect.  I closed all apps, double tapping home key from home screen, turned set date and time automatically off, clicked set daate and time, changed year to 2014.  I then opened updates on apps and got the security message, went back to set date and time, turned on set automatically, opened app store back up (did not  force close after security message) , got to loading and had 21 apps to update
Not sure what caused this initially; but some things I had done in the past were, I had set date and time auto off, I had changed the date and time numerous times in a row for the game deer hunter reloaded to get gold, most of the time stopping around August each time.  Other than that, I have not made any major changes or added any apps when it stopped working.

    Try quitting the App Store:
    Tap the home button to get to the home screen. Then double tap the home button, and hold your finger over the App Store icon. Tap the red when it appears. Tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
    Try resetting:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

    When I try to download my updates it keeps saying cannot connect to iTunes store please help I'm going mad!

    a lot of people have posted about this and i have seen one weird thing fix this. people said they where going into date and time under settings and changing  the date to some time in the future and then going to the itunes store and it would give them an error that there date and time was wrong. then all you need to do is go back and set the date and time right and go back to the itunes store and try again.
    Im not sure why this did the trick but a bunch of people said that this helped them out..... Weird i know

    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.

  • My ipod 4  apps will not open i try to update and i get cannot connect to itunes store

    My ipod 4 apps wil not open. They blink on then off real fast. I try to update but get the message "cannot connect to itunes store"> New apps work. I recently upgraded to windows 7, but our other ipod works fine. I recently deleted some songs and apps and since then have had this problem. i've tried all the suggestions I can find on appe support, nothing works

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

    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.
    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

    Then you need to change the store that you bought the apps from - correct?
    Go to the featured tab of the App Store and tap on your ID at the bottom. Tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go to Country/Region and change it to the correct store.

  • HT3204 I have made sure my computer is updated, ran the connectivity tests and all passed except for cd player but I still cannot connect to iTunes store.

    I am not able to connect to iTunes store. I have tried all their suggstions o the Apple site. Ran all the connectivity tests and on the cd player came up as an error.

    Have you verified that the account information you have stored in iTunes on your computer, EXACTLY mirrors the information you have on file on your iPad?  For example, if you say you live on 1234 Road in iTunes, but on your iPad you say you live on 1234 Rd., you'll have an issue.  Make sure the information on both sides is the same.

  • App Update not working-says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store"

    Hi, 3G S iPhone here, 3.1.2, with iMac on Snow Leopard.
    I have the exact same issue Forrestranger has on my iPhone: I have free Apps which will Not update, and despite entering the correct iTunes Password (I'll prove this shortly), I am told I "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store".
    I've read Forrester's thread, and I'm fairly certain this is not an ISP issue or wrong password issue. Here's Why:
    - I HAVE recently had Apps (I can't remember whether they were free,...sorry) that DID UPDATE successfully EVEN AFTER I entered the password and was told that I 'Cannot connect to the iTunes Store'.
    Yes you read that correctly. I got the same message that seemed to halt things but then the App Update installed anyways.
    I have written one of the App Developers too to see if they can help. I appreciate any ideas or tips here of course.
    Many Thanks, Frank B.

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again
    If that doesnt work - go to Settings>General>Date and Time - set the date ahead by a few months. Try to update again. If you get an error message of any kind - go back and change the date and time to automatic again. Then try again.
    If that doesn't work, restart your router and reboot the iPad.
    Reboot 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.
