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.

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.

IPad app store message "Cannot connect to iTunes store"

Recently my iPad (wifi) & my husband's iPhone (AT&T)have been unable to connect to the app store or iTunes. We get the message "cannot connect to iTunes store". The only thing that I have done recently is download a kindle book & add a Bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard was never paired with the iPhone so I don't think that could be the issue. The iPad & iPhone have both been updated, but that hasn't resolved the issue. There was no problem connecting to iTunes through the PC to run the update. Why would both devices suddenly have the same problem? One is wifi & one is 3G so it's not the connection. They have nothing in common except the error. Any help would be appreiciated since this is getting frustrating. Thanks!

Hi, Thank you! I did as you suggested but it didn't work. So, this time I cleared all apps out of the tray, signed out of my account at the store, and did a hard reboot. Then on my desktop I signed out of my account in iTunes and then synced. I have signed back into the store on the iPad but still get the same message.

When I try to install an app it says cannot connect to itunes

I'm trying to install an app but it keeps saying cannot connect to iTunes.It was working fine earlier but then it stopped.

Hi Theresa,
When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following article provides the best information:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
- Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
- Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
- Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
- Check to make sure 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 still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections or iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Updates cannot connect to itunes store

In Apps, App Store, Update, the indicator has the red circle with the white number 1. When I touch the update icon, I receive the message: Cannot connect to itunes Store - OK. How do I clear this error?

Demo, thank you for your help. After posting this question, I finally found another thread on this very topic that was more than just another request for help with the issue, but had no responses. In my case, the answer by synyster156 resolved the problem. Prior to following synster156's instructions, I closed my browser so that no programs were connected to the internet. I don't know if this was necessary, but anyway, it worked for me.
- In Win 7, go to "Start>All Programs>Accessories>" right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator".
- In the Command Line Interface window and at the propmpt "c:\windows\system32>" enter
netsh winsock reset and then press the enter key.
- After this command is run, you should get a message stating that windows has successfully reset the winsock catalog.
- To complete the rest, close out any open programs/windows and "Restart" your computer.
synyster156 said that if the above steps didn't correct the problem, then read this article:

Fortunately, for me, the reset of the winsock solved my problem.

Problems with AppStore updates (Cannot connect to iTunes store)

My iPads cannot update apps via the AppStore. Selecting update in the AppStore generates a "Cannot connect to iTunes store" error. This appears to be related to my home network since I can update if I connect to other wifi networks. All of my iPads are wifi only.
Interestingly enough, I can connect to the iTunes app directly... The problem is when I connect via updates. Likewise, none of the other computers (both Mac and PCs) have any problems connecting to the iTunes store.
I have searched in vain for any firewall considerations that I should accommodate.
My network uses a Linux box as the router/firewall. It is running iptables (managed by firestarter) and safesquid as a proxy server that is set up to run in transparent proxy mode. I have checked all the logs and can't see where this is causing a failure, so I am at a loss.
Does anyone know what ports the AppStore would need for updates? Does anyone know if a transparent proxy would be a problem for the updates?
Any help troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated.
