Apple ID won't let me connect to the iTunes Store
When i try signing in with my Apple ID to the iTunes Store, the iTunes Store becomes temporarily unavailable. My old Apple ID works but my new one wont allow me to sign in. Any Suggestions?
Hello, TonyanAsia.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

Why won't my iPad connect to the iTunes Store?
I have tried to download both music and movies on my new iPad3 wifi/3g and keep getting the message that it cannot connect to the iTunes Store. I tried creating another apple ID to see if that would help but still having the same issue when trying to buy music or download movies from iTunes store. Can anyone give me any answers to rectify this.?

We were given this iPod touch from a friend. Here is what I have done so far. Reset it back to factor settings. Added my music. Set up the wifi through my home internet. And it keeps telling me that it cannot connect to iTunes. Don't know what else to do. Have tried to look on this community for answers and haven't found ones that I haven't tried yet. I did see somewhere where there was an update for the iPod touch. It was 4.95 on the iTunes store. Wondered if that might help. Don't want to pay for something that won't work. Thanks!
I would update. You need the update for apps.

Why won't my apps connect to the iTunes Store?
I can't search for specific apps now. I can only browse the advertised ones. Why am I getting an error message saying "CANNOT CONNECT TO iTUNES STORE"
There appears to be an issue going on with the App Store right now.
I can access the store but cannot do a search without first selecting one app and have it pop up in the window, then enter my app into the search field and then struggle through a couple of more steps until apps appear in the list based on the "keyword" in the search bar, and then I can tap on one of those from there.
Something is wrong on Apple's end is my belief. -
Idk
There are a number of other threads from posting the same issue, I assume that there is a problem at Apple's end

HT1689 My iphone will not let me connect to the itunes store.
I have an itunes id and password, but itunes is not recognizing it on my Iphone. It recognizes it on my laptop... Please help
I would try reetting the iPod. Nothing wil be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
iTunes still does not work properly. It will let me play the music, but it still won’t let me connect to the iTunes store. I did all of the updates, including the "repair missing files" and did a flush and everything comes back as just fine.
I’ve thought about totally uninstalling and reinstalling, but I don’t want to lose all the settings and configurations. Hopefully we can figure out what went wrong.
Last week, I was trying to download an app a couple of days ago and it seemed to get stuck. We had to do a “hard shutdown”to get the computer to shutoff and get out of the iTunes program. I don't know if that had anything to do with my problems. Hopefully any suggestions will help me get back into the iTunes Store. I miss my iTunes!!Try iTunes 9.2.1 which will run on OS X 10.4.11. iTunes 9.2.1, http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
You also need at least Safari 4.0.3 to connect to the iTunes Store. You can download Safari 4.1.3 for OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069 -

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.
