Can only access App store from home, but can get on internet anywhere

I have a wifi-only iPad. I have no trouble accessing the internet anywhere that there is wifi available. However, I can never access the app store, and can never update such apps as USA Today, the New York Times, and the Kindle App unless I am in my house. How can I fix this?

The reason for that can be a bad WiFi connection, so the answer from the server is not coming quick enough (check the signal bars on your iPad) or the other reason could be that at this router certain ports are blocked.
Maybe go to a public WiFi with a good signal (usually a restaurant or coffee-shop)

I cannot access itunes store from PC but can from iPad?

Does anyone have any ideas?
Since upgrading PC to v 11.1.2.31, (and perhaps phone/iPad to ios 7.0.3??), although I can access iTunes I cannot access iTunes Store via my PC to sign in. I keep getting the message to the effect "iTunes Store is busy. Please try later". I can sign in ok on my IPad and iPhone without difficulty.
I have followed all the Apple Support advice, I think. So far I have reinstalled the software, have checked the Firewall is not blocking iTunes, have rebooted the router several times (in all other respects the Internet is behaving normally), I have cleared the Local and Roaming cache etc.
Thanks,

You may think you are connected to the internet, but maybe not. Click on Safari and see if it connects.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

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.

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Can't access work IMAP from home

Hi
We're running mail service (IMAP) on OS X Server 10.3.9 at the office. Everything works fine when I'm on the network locally - I can send and receive external emails etc.
However, I can't access the server from home using either the domain name or IP address. I used to be able to but we've recently changed ISP & router and I'm not sure if this has affected it. I assume the MX records for the domain are fine since we can send and receive.
I'm not really an IT admin-type guy (it's just kinda become my responsibility) so I don't fully understand DNS, local domains etc.
If anybody has any pointers, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks
Ian

However, I can't access the server from home using either the domain name or IP address. I used to be able to but we've recently changed ISP & router and I'm not sure if this has affected it.
DNS Basics: the DNS server basically resolves a 'name' to an IP address. E.g. mail.mydomain.com to the IP address of the mailserver.
When you are inside the local network (LAN), your computers probably find the server using a local IP address. When you are outside the LAN, then your computer will find it EITHER by using the public IP address of your firewall OR using a name which will resolve to the same.
Since it worked before you changed ISPs, I'm guessing that you had it set explicitly to the WAN IP address. This will have changed with the change of ISP.
Easiest way to fix this is to use the same host name as you MX record is set to. So if your MX record is mail.mydomain.com then use this as it is obviously resolving to the IP address of your mail server (or more exactly, the IP address of your firewall).
NEXT, since your router has also changed (and I presume this is also your firewall) then you need to ensure that the imap port required (143) is open and port-forwarding to the internal IP address of the mail server.

I can not access Itunes Store from my computer. When I run the dianostic I get a red light that says "Secure Link to the Itunes Store Failed".

I can not access Itunes Store from my computer.
When I run the diagnostic tool for network connectivity, my network connects but I get a Red light that says "SECURE LINK TO THE ITUNES STORE FAILED".
Can anyone help me on this problem?

ITunes won't connect all I get is the "accessing iTunes store......". With the bar scrolling but no connection.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

You don't install iTunes on your phone. iTunes is a program that runs on your computer. As RG asked, please explain more clearly what it is you are trying to accomplish.

Stuck in a limbo: can't install Safari or Lion/Mountain Lion, can't access App Store

If someone would take up this challenge and attempt to solve it with me, I would appreciate it! I have troubleshooted for 2 days now to no avail.
This is what happened:
1) I accidentally installed Safari 6.0, even if I have Lion 10.7. which doesn't run the new version
2) This disabled my use of Safari and my access to App Store
3) With a combination of AppDelete + Pacifist I tried deleting all Safari files, and re-installing old Safari 5.4 from scratch.
I rebooted, repaired permissions and did a disk check.
4) Rebooted again, tried to open the newly installed Safari, but it gives an error:
"Check with the developer to make sure Safari works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X."
5) At this point I thought to revert back to a previous point in Time Machine. Unfortunately all the points in Time Machine somehow showed Safari 6.0 (even a month-old points), so reverting back to an old point didn't help.
6) I try logging into AppStore to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I can't do that, since it needs Safari to run and I don't have a Safari anymore!
7) Now I tried re-installing Lion from restart + cmd+R, and it asked for Apple ID to start the installation.
--> At this point I am getting desperate, as this computer was purchased second-hand, so I don't have the Apple ID used to install Lion!
8) I try searching for Apple's official support, but obviously my warranty has expired, besides it's based in another country so they can only call cellphones from that country!
So I cannot enter App Store; reinstall Safari; reinstall Lion; or upgrade to Mountain Lion. I have no access to Apple official support. I currently work in a developing country with limited access to any MAC support.
I don't know what to try anymore!
- How can I enter App Store without Safari?
- How can I reinstall Lion without the original Apple ID?
- How can I upgrade to Mountain Lion without App Store?
I'm STUCK! Please help!!

Anyone?
I finally managed to download the newest combo update and installed it successfully!
However Safari still doesn't open. It keeps saying the following:
Check with the developer to make sure Safari works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
I also finally got access to App Store: but the download of Mountain Lion doesn't complete, because it seems to need Safari.
So I'm still stuck with the two issues:
i) Safari doesn't work, and I can't get it to work unless I can reinstall/upgrade the OS.
ii) I can't upgrade the OS without Safari!
--- unless someone knows a way to install Lion/Mountain Lion _without_ Safari??
Thanks for all your help!
