Hi Lucifromrom,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The iTunes Store article linked below provides excellent troubleshooting steps conenction issues, which should also help you resolve the App Store connection issue that you described above.
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch: For best results accessing the iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, be sure your iOS is up to date.
If you are having issues accessing the iTunes Store after updating to the latest version of iTunes or iOS, please see the steps below for troubleshooting tips. Some sections only apply to specific devices or operating systems; each section header is noted to indicate this.
Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)
Make sure the issue is with the iTunes Store only. (You need an Internet connection to access the iTunes Store).Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for the iTunes Store. This also tests if the main ports 80 and 443 are accessible. If the website works but the iTunes Store does not, it is most likely a firewall blocking the iTunes software or servers. If this is the case, follow the steps in the "Blocked by software firewall" section below.
Test using another device.If possible, another device, ideally on a different network, would help troubleshooting any iTunes Store issues most efficiently. If another device on another network has issues, the iTunes Store may be undergoing maintenance, and will be available soon.
Test using another network.
Connect your computer or device to another network and testing helps determine the next step. This is also helpful if multiple devices are affected.
If your device can connect to Wi-Fi and a cellular network, larger downloads may not be possible over the cellular network.
If the issue disappears while connected to another network, you may need to work with your support options to open access to:
itunes.apple.com
ax.itunes.apple.com
ax.init.itunes.apple.com
albert.apple.com
gs.apple.com
ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
mzstatic.com
Note: iTunes may use the fully qualified version of these addresses for additional security.
iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
It is critical that your date, time, and time zone be correct:iOS:
From the home screen, tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
If the option exists, turn off Set Automatically.
Verify the time zone and time (in the status bar) are correct for where you are currently.
If not, adjust the incorrect setting accordingly.
If everything was correct and the option exists, turn on Set Automatically.
Remove any restrictions that may be causing the issue:iOS: Restrictions can limit your ability to purchase some content. Check restrictions via Settings> General > Restrictions if you're unsure about those settings.
After isolating the issue to iTunes by following the above steps:
If the issue still occurs and iTunes displays an alert message with a specific code, please see the section below titled "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages" for additional troubleshooting steps.
If the issue is still not resolved and there is no specific code or alert message, you can visit the iTunes Store Discussion Board to try to find additional information for help resolving your issue:
You can also contact AppleCare to discuss your support options. Depending on your product’s coverage status, you may need to pay for support.

New routers or a new Internet Service Provider (ISP) may limit your ability to connect to iTunes Store. Let your router manufacturer or your ISP know about the ports and servers in this article and confirm that they are compatible.

Getting error message when trying to buy my book 'Cannot access Apple Store, please try later' Anyone experienced this?
Here's a fix that worked for some users:
Make sure this checkbox is checked in the System/Sharing preference pane:
If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.

I am usually fine with my apple tv. However, quite frequently I get the message that apple tv cannot access apple store. i go to my Ipad or Mac computer and I am able to acess apple store easily. Does anyone have an idea on what is wrong?
Have you tried connecting it with an ethernet cord? It could be a wifi issue.

Very frustrated with Apple. I have removed and re-downloaded itunes software at least a dozen times. When I plug in phone to synch, itunes does come up. Cannot access apple store. Programs stalls in middle and freezes my PC. I cannot download any apps, music or new OS5. Tried calling support, they will not help unless I pay for the help. Then called the nearest Apple store and they laughed at me over the phone.
I did notice that quicktime did not download with itunes. Had to download quicktime separately.

I cannot access Apple Store app from iPhone 4
I cannot access Apple Store app from iPhone 4.
We're sorry, the Apple Store app is currently not supported in the country associated with your Apple ID.
I am in USA and my correct address is on my account.you can't, but you can simply ignore it. but if you REALLY want to delete it, call apple customer support to ask for a deletion. though, you'll need the password and security questions of the old account.
you can manage your apple ID's at: https://appleid.apple.com/ -

IPad Air 2 cannot access apple store
Hey guys,
I just get my new iPad Air 2 today. After setting up everything as I have done to any of my apple product before, I tried to go to apple store to download some apps. But the thing is that when I have successfully connect to my wifi, the apple store shows "cannot connect to apple store". At the same time, I tried to browse Google and it appears to be normal as always. Anyone can help me with this issue?
Many thanks
ImboHi Imbo,
If you are having an issue with connecting to the App Store from your new iPad, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
Specifically the section titled "Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch." and at the bottom "Learn More."
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I added Gmail to my iTunes store/account. My gmail account is: [email protected] and it shows up on the settings in iTunes, and my account. The problem is I cannot access the store with this ID. A response says: You have not verified your ID, press ok to review instructions to verify your ID.
Reply to this is: An email has been sent to the address below with a link to verify your Apple ID. Make sure to check your email and follow the link to complete the creation of your AppleID.
Beneath my email address:
Your Email has already been validated successfully. Thank you.
Please HELP.
I am using:
Windows XP
Internet Explorer 9
Norton 360
iPhone 4
Google toolbar on my computer.Hi Michael,
Yes it is now resolved but not after I send iTunes a request for help and explaining the problem. They send a first reply explaining how I needed to verify my account and gave me the link to do that. You and I know that this did not help, so I replied telling them that this was not working and iTunes did the reset for me.
You may want to open a help ticket with iTunes help. That is the only way it works.

I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?
i had the same problem before using a fresh install of Windows 8.1. I have resolved this issue by running the program compatibility wizard. This I did by right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the desktop, selecting Troubleshoot compatibility, waited for it to detect compatibility issues and when presented with the following options: 1.) Try recommended settings; 2.) Troubleshoot program, I chose the latter. When asked what problems I noticed, I checked the following: "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run" and "The program requires additional permission"
After that, it tired to resolve the issue, and provided the necessary settings to run iTunes. Now it's running flawlessly. I have Avast anti-virus installed though.

I cannot access iTunes store from my laptop. I could for years but suddenly - no.
Have removed all recently installed software. Have uninstalled and re-installed both my anti-virus software and iTunes.
Have allowed pop-ups.
Have flushed the DNS. Nothing.
Still can't access the store. Please help!Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I am receiving a message that my ID has been disabled, and I followed the steps to change the password, but still receive the same message. Cannot access app store or do updates.
In what way are you receiving this message? It is very common to get an email telling you that your ID has been disabled, and asking you to confirm all your details so the sender can steal your identity online.....

Why can't I buy applications from apple us store except my home country apple store where these applications are unavailable?
Something that you will want to keep in mind if you use the solution the Texas Mac Man link for you. If you buy gift cards in the US they are only good in the US store. So if you have any balance left over you will not be able to use it back in your home country with your home country store.
You will still be able to use it in your US account but you cannot switch back and forth from one country store to another country store until you use the balance that is left on that gift card. Bottom line, if you set up an account and use a gift card, use it up all the way, or you will not be able to switch back to your own store when you get home. Using up a balance on a gift card is easier said than done.
