Can't update apps via App Store, only on PC through iTunes?

Just got a new 4G 32BG Touch to replace my faithful old 2G. A couple of days ago, it stopped letting me update or purchase apps from the App Store directly from the iPod. I can through iTunes on my PC. iPod is 5.0.1, iTunes is 10.5.
I have done a hard reset, I have logged off/on my Apple account, still get message that says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". I can surf the web, remote control my PC...so it's connected to my network. I have also tried it at work, same message. I can browse the apps, and it asks for my password after hitting "install". Then the message pops up.
Any ideas? Totally lost, because I never had any issues with my old 2G, other than it was starting to show it's age.

Okay, that was weird....
Online support told me to call Apple Care. After giving my serial #, heard there was at least a 15 minute wait. So, I waited...and waited...and waited. I had tried to download an app last night, and again this morning at home and at work. Same problem, "cannot connect to iTunes store". But I was bored, so I tried it again, and it worked! Just to make sure, I downloaded a second app. No problem. Could be the high traffic, could be Apple finally figured out what the problem was. Or, they could have heard my name and known they did NOT want to talk to me!

TS2446 i can sign in apple ID but can not update app store and add new app

i can not update my app store and add new app

That didn't answer either of my questions.
What are you trying to sign into using Safari?
Did you change the email on your existing Apple ID or create a new Apple ID?
What "app button" are you talking about?

Can't update--App Store shows I own Logic, but doesn't offer update

I'm running 10.0.1 and want to update to .3.
The app store shows Logic Pro X as purchased, but only offers me the option to install.
I've tried re-starting and installing all security updates, but the situation remains the same.
Thanks!

Can't update App Store apps

I can't do updates for 2 apps in App Store on my iPad. Just says a 2 next to the App Store icon. I click on it and go to updates for the 2 and just get a blank screen. Please tell me what I should be doing

You're one of dozens to post this over and over without having even glanced down the page to see if someone already posted about this.
It's an Apple server issue that hasn't been solved yet.

Can't update App Store

My App Store is stuck in v1.2. I've emptied the App Store cache file + still have v1.2. I've not tried to uninstall + reinstall as I would an ordinary app. Is this what I need to do?
Thanks in advance for help.
Best regards,
Pamala

The most recent App Store version is 1.2. Right or control click the App Store app in your Applications folder then click Get Info.
You'll see Version 1.2 in the Get Info panel.
If you deleted the App Store, the only way to reinstall is to reinstall OS X using Mountain Lion Recovery

HT4623 I have the original iPad and I don't have an option in Settings, General for Software Upates. The App Store only has a Spanish version. Does anyone know how I can update to iOS 5?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Just connect the new iPod to your computer and setup the iPod via iTunes (instead of via wifi).
If you want to copy all the infor from an old iPod touch to the inew iPod see:

Don't be afraid to bump this topic. There's also an App Store forum where you might repost this question, but give some of these details in your post. I'd rephrase the topic to something like "Can't use App Store to upgrade." (Instead of can't "open".) Then give the details.

Hi,
Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID > View Apple ID > enter your password > set Country/Region to US if your account was created in the US.
Hope that helps.

Have you tried resetting your phone (hold the power and home buttons down together until the silver apple appears)?

I have App Store 1.0. MacUpdate Desktop tells me there is a new version 1.0.1. How do I update App Store. MU only takes me directly to App Store. Not much help there, as I don't find how to update the App Store itself. Please write me at guki@broadpark.no

Thank you for your advice.
Actually, I am aware that the upgrade is implemented in 10.6.7. However, up until now I haven't been able to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.7, as I have software that is not yet compatible. So I wondered how to do it within 10.6.6? May be it is not possible? Anyway, this gave me a push to track the software I use for compatibility, and I found that an update for 10.6.7 now is ready for download, so then I will probably solve two issues at the same time. Takes a little work though. Thank you again for your advice.
