Cannot Connect to App Store from my iPhone 5.

Why is this happening? Is this another one of those secret things that Apple is so fond of doing and we have to act like we're in a scavenger hunt to find any info. At least with Microsoft the info is right there. No going to 100's of sites.
Why do they flaky things happen to products that are supposed to be the best. It's going downhill fast. The PC will win every time.

I just got the same message myself. Which I have only had 2 times in three years, so I checked here.

There is an issue with the iTunes Store on Apple's end, so I assume that is why we cannot connect.

  • HT201412 "cannot connect to iTunes Store" from my iphone

    When I try to update or download apps, i get the following message:  "cannot connect to iTunes store".  HELP

    If you are doing it using Wifi I would try to refresh the connection.
    I do this quickly by turning Airplane mode on for a few seconds to disconnect from 3G and WiFi.  When you turn Airplane mode off you should reconnect to your networks.  This may clear the problem.
    If not reset your phone, hold the Home and power button's down at the same time until the Apple logo apears on screen.  wait for your phone to restart.  You may have to log into your wifi network if it is secured.

  • Cannot connect to itunes store from iphone4

    I cannot connect to itunes store from my iphone 4. v4.2.10.  It use to work and now I keep getting this error, any suggestions.

    You don't have another device like a mac book or a mac sitting close to it while you do this do you?   When I try to use the iPad next to a Powerbook 800 while both have to connect to the wireless in my house, usually the iPad loses and gets incomplete connections.  I have to move about 10 feet away from the other device.

  • Cannot connect to App Store on iPhone 6

    I purchased a new iPhone 6 two weeks ago.
    Upon turning it on and attempting to download some apps I constantly came upon the error message 'Cannot Connect to App Store'.
    There is no connectivity issue in terms of my wifi or 3/4G. Basically I cannot download or update Apps and it is very inconvenient.
    I attended the Apple Store 2 days after I purchased the phone but the Genius there updated the phone and eliminated any hardware issues. He said that it was an issue specific to my phone connecting to the Apple Store. He helped me contact Apple to inform them.
    Unfortunately the replies I got from Apple were absurd - they completely missed the issue and just fixated on whether I had an internet connection or whether my phone was updated, even though I had said in my question that I had been through all that.
    Does anyone have any advice? I would be very grateful as I do not have the time to go in and dispute this with Apple and arrange a new iPhone.
    PLEASE do not link me the article below because it is not helpful:

    Hi mate, I had the exact same problem and just figured it out.
    On your phone, go to
    Settings>> iCloud, then sign out.
    Settings >> Itunes & App Store, then click on your Apple ID username and sign out. Then sign in again.
    Try going to the App store again and it should work. Worked for me.
    Found another blog that highlighted some issues between iCloud login and App store login causing some kind of conflict.
    Haven't got to the bottom of it yet, but at least I can use the app store for now.

  • 'Cannot connect to App Store' - iphone 4s

    iPhone 4s, recently updated to ios7. App store worked on the first day - since then, every time i open the app I get
    "cannot connect to app store" flash up about 3 times.
    Have tried reading up, and doing all the suggested fixes from other posts:
    - Connected to itunes and PC
    - Advanced date and time 'months' and even 'years'
    - Changed the 'cookies' setting in safari
    - Many, many 'resets' (holding 'home and lock)
    - used 'iforgot' to reset app
    none of the above have worked. Curiously, if I use Appsfire (bargain apps, free apps etc) and choose an app from there - it directs me to the store where I can complete a purchase.
    just nothing through the app store itself.
    Am really hoping to avoid a full restore.

    That's because there are not enough apps that use Passbook yet. Wait.

    cannot connect to itunes store from iphone error message

    More than likely its your router. You need to make sure that the router's firewall, if enabled(most are by default), permits connection to these domains as trusted:
    * itunes.apple.com
    * ax.itunes.apple.com
    * albert.apple.com
    * gs.apple.com

  • "Cannot connect to App Store"

    I know this has been asked a million times, I have gone through the steps listed under support.
    when I tap on the App Store or iTunes Store it says:
    "Cannot Connect to App/iTunes Store."
    Also, I get a network error in Facebook- I don't know if that's related, but I can't delete and reinstall the app because I can't get into the app store.
    Thanks in advance!!

    hi, I'm a novice..be gentle! Tried to download Amazon Free... Asked to update my security I pushed OK...screen went white, then an error message saying ' Cannot connect to App Store', however I am already on it! Pls help!!

    Are you trying to download the amazon store app? Does this happen with all apps or just amazon?
    Try this

    (How to update your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623)
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings  (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

    here is a "copied" version with credits for those looking for a solution to an annoying problem Apple should patch.  (Yes, I'm aware of the irony of that statement)
    July 18, 2012 · by Arthur Lockman · in Apple, Tutorials
    After doing a reinstall of Lion a few weeks ago, I found that my computer suddenly would reject every VeriSign certificate that it encountered. Using Chrome, that meant that I couldn’t even access Twitter.com, because it thought that the certificate was wrong. I couldn’t login to the Apple developer portal, I couldn’t authenticate a device with XCode, I couldn’t make a purchase at Apple.com, I couldn’t download updates from the Mac App Store, and I couldn’t login to Mint.com, among other sites. I essentially couldn’t do anything that used a VeriSign certificate for SSL.
    What did I do? I called my trusty AppleCare advisor, hoping for an answer. I thought that maybe they could help me figure it out. After getting to senior support, I was told to reinstall Lion, which I did to no avail. My case was then forwarded to the Apple engineering team, with 3 to 5 days to wait until I had an answer. I looked around, through my console logs and through Keychain access, and finally came up with an answer, and a solution to my problems.
    It turned out that my solution was pretty simple. I had to delete a few files and reset one to its default setting.
    Delete the files /var/db/crls/crlcache.db and /var/db/crls/ocspcache.db. These can be found using Finder’s Go >; Go To Folder menu (Cmd + Shift + G). This resets the cache of accepted certificates in the system. It doesn’t remove them, it just forces the system to rebuild the caches upon restart.
    Open Keychain Access (/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access). Select Certificates in the Category picker on the left side. In the search bar, type in the word Class. Look through that list, and find any certificates that have a blue + symbol over their icon. These are the ones you need to modify.
    Select one that has a blue +, and hit Command + I. Click the disclosure triangle beside the “Trust” list to show the list of permissions. Now, what we need to do is to set this certificate to use the system defaults. However, for some reason, when you select it, it doesn’t save. So what you need to do is this. Under “Trust”, where it says “Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)”, change the dropdown menu to say “No Value Specified”. Then, close the window. It will ask for your administrator permissions. Then, open the info pane for that certificate again. Under “Trust” again, now set the dropdown that says “When using this certificate:” to say “Use System Defaults”. You can then close out of the info pane, and enter your password again. Do this for any of the certificates that have a blue + on their icon. There should only be one or two at most.
    Restart your system.
    This solution seemed to work just fine for me. All of my certificate problems have been fixed. It must be something with the OSX installer that causes this certificate issue. I’ll file a bug report. Hopefully someone looks into it and fixes the flaw in the OS. And, I hope that this fixed the flaw for you.
    Addendum – a note on security:
    This procedure won’t affect the security of your Mac. I’ve had some questions come in about that, and if anything, it makes it more secure because then sites that require SSL certificates can actually use them, unlike before where they might default to non secure connections because the certificate was bad.
