Can't update apps. "Can't connect to the itunes store "

Hi when I am in the appstore in updates section, it says "can't connect to the itunes store".
I tried to turn off and turn on the ipad, change date, change the wifi connection ... It the same thing. But I can download apps.
I'm using Ipad 1. Can you help me ?

And I don't think that it is some conspiracy put together by Apple to tick people off. Obviously Apple wants you to be able to connect to the iTumes store so that they can line their pockets with even more money from lots and lots of app purchases.
If you were to spend any time on this site you would find that this is a recurring problem for a very small number of users. If there are 10,000 people on this site - all complaining of the same issue, that is still a minuscule percentage of all iDevice users.
You are upset and frustrated and I understand that. I don't think it's a coincidence either, but rather a random number of users that all have the same issue. You are noticing it now, because you came here looking for a solution. Apple even has a support article that talks about how to deal with the issue so even they realize that users can have the problem from time to time.

  • When installing apps I cannot connect to the iTunes store

    iTunes is up to date...I am trying to install a new app and update others and the error message I receive is "cannot connect to the iTunes store"... My Internet is working (I can browse in safari) ...any ideas?
    Thanx!

    Apple has a support article that talks about this issue here.

    Have you tried restarting the iPad and then try again?
    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.

  • IO6/iPhone5: Why do all of my apps try to connect to the iTunes store?

    When I click on either of the apps I've so far installed on my iPhone5, one for my carrier (Three) and one for roaming WiFi (BT), I can receive the "Cannot Connect to the iTunes Store" error when the wifi bug is present. Both of these apps are free, and both have nothing to do with subscribing to any content on iTunes. Is this some core functionality, where iTunes is "pinged" when apps run?

    Reboot your phone. You can power it down by holding the power button for 5 seconds or until you see the red slider that says "Power down". If this doesn't happen then force it to shut down by holding the power and home button down simultaneously for 8 seconds.
    Rebooting usually takes care of it for me. This occasionally happens when some (non-Apple) application left the phone in an unstable state.

  • My Iphone 4 can't update apps because I am at the US store instead of the Australian store and I can't work out how to fix this.

  • TS3297 Cannot connect to the itunes store.

    I get "unknown error occurred (0x80092013). Tried firewall and proxy settings, nothing is working. This is frustrating. None of the troubleshooting is working for me...All I want to do is connect to the Itunes store from my desktop. Also, I can connect to the store on the other desktops and ipads in the house, just not this computer. And last but not least, is it possible to "manually manage songs" for your Iphone with multiple computers?
    Please Help!
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem.  iOS, Network & iTunes are up to date and working fine.  But the Apps update just says "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store".  I've tried everything I can think of, but still no go.  I've not done iPhone support before.  How do we get Apple to address the problem?

    I've been having this problem for weeks and have found no solution to it. There are lots of other people with this issue too if you look back on the boards. I even e-mailed AND called Apple and have had no luck. I tried all the suggestions they gave me and all the ones I found on here- nothing worked. I even uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (boy was that a pain!) and no difference.
    The weird part is that I have an old laptop that works and if I buy music with the laptop I can download it with my regular computer buy buying does not work on my regular computer. That tells me it's not a connection issue. I can't get to my account either.
    I can't figure out why an issue that has kept so many people from purchasing a product has been ignored!

    I can't get any updates or download any new apps from iTunes because I "cannot connect to the iTunes Store" or sometimes it says server. I have no trouble getting my email or surfing the Internet, so it is a problem specific to accessing iTunes. Incredibly frustrated! Please help!

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    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.

    Your profile indicates your Mac is running v10.7.2
    If that is correct, updating your system software may help.
    Click Software Update from the Apple menu.
    Restart your Mac after updates are installed then try the App Store.
    If you can't update that way, there's a workaround.
    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
    Then restart your Mac and try the App Store.

    I've turned my iPad off, then on again, I've logged out of iTunes, and logged back in, I've updated my credit card information, but nothing seems to be working. Is this a problem within the app?

  • Can't connect to iTunes Store for updates: "there was an error in the iTunes Store...."

    I can connect to the iTunes store on computer & iPhone & iPad.
    I can "Get More Apps."
    I can do just about everything.
    However, I can NOT get app updates. I get this message - on computer & devices. If I want to update apps, I get this message:
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. You do not have permission to access the requested resource. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
    That's it -
    Any wisdom?
    Is it Apple? Or is it me?
    And yes, I have the latest version of iTunes.

    Had the same problem - on my iOS devices and on my Mac's as well.
    Fixed it.  I turned off Wifi on the iphone and presto - was able to get connected.  Remoted into another machine offsite - and the App Store worked - so figured it might be connected to an IP issue since iPhone over 4G worked, just not w/wifi enabled. 
    Reset my cable modem to grab a new IP address - and all works normally again.
