Cannot connect iTunes

When I click into iTunes on my new iPad, a message showing "Cannot connect to iTunes store" appear. This is not about internet connection problem. I can go into one of the three submenu in the iTunes, either Podcast, iTunes U or Download and download stuff there. What happened?
Also, I know that itunes on iPad should show "Music, Video, Podcasts, iTunes U and download"...but mine on the new iPad only have "Podcasts, iTunes U and download", why?

1) What exactly would I check on the router to make sure it's open it iTMS for MY computer? I know I said I'm an "advanced user" but you got me on that one, lol!
That would depend on the router. I know that some routers with firewalls control the ports individually by internal IP address, but without knowing your model of router, I don't know if that applies in your case (and I might well not know even if you told me the model; I'm only familar with a couple). If your router has a firewall and it can be shut off completely, you might give that a try as a test.
2) I'll try uninstall and reinstall again. I've never done the registry entry check, so just search for "itunes" and stuff like that and delete?
iTunes and QuickTime, yes. CCCleaner (freeware) might help.
3) Is there any benefit to doing the entire re-install while in the msconfig "startup" mode, i.e. with everything else turned off?
That I can't say, not having done it. Sorry; perhaps someone else will have an opinion about that.

    What should I do.
    Thank you

    Hi Kidland,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues purchasing a game on your iPad.
    The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Store account on your iPad.
    Then restart the device and log in again.
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > tap Sign Out
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    If the above did not resolve your issue, follow the troubleshooting steps in the article below.
    The link includes the complete details and screenshots, but I've highlighted a few points for you:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    - 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 connectionsoriOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

    Hello Dannard Lee,
    It sounds like you aren't able to connect to the iTunes Store, or update your device to iOS 8. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help troubleshoot the issue, and it seems to be they may be related to one another:

    Windows iTunes?
    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, Sync 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:

  • IPhone4 say 'cannot connect itunes store' when downloading updates

    I have tried updating my apps, it enter the password which it accepts, the apps then show the loading bars on the bottom of the icons, about 5 secs later i get a pop up notification saying 'cannot connect to iTunes store'.
    I have tried updating via iTunes on my Macbook Pro too, it says 76 app updates available. However, when i click update 76 apps it then says 'No updates are available, to check for updates with another Apple ID please sign in with that Apple ID.
    I know the apps are related to the ID i am signed in as becasue i right click them and go to 'get info' and they are associated with the account im signed in as.
    This is very frustrating!! Any help appreciated!

    Here's Apple's knowledge base article on this subject.  Hope it helps.

  • Cannot connect itunes store

    New iphone 5, but I cannot get any apps.  Error message comes up "Cannot connect to itunes store"  I tried switching the date as mentioned in previous post. Does anyone have a suggestion?  Thanks...

    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.

  • I cannot connect iTunes on ipad, it just states cancel or retry?

    I cannot connect to iTunes on iPad just states not connected and states cancel or retry?

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.
