'Cannot Connect to iTunes' but with iBooks instead of apps?

Hello.
So I'm having that 'Cannot connect to iTunes' problem, but instead of not being able to update or download apps, I cannot syn sideloaded books to my iPad 2? I've tried to sync the same books to my iPhone 5s and I have the same issue, but the strangest part is that it's only certain epubs that will not sync, while some other epubs have no issues and pdfs have none. According to iTunes, the books are on my device and taking up space, however the covers are faded and have a blue bar about 75% loaded at the bottom. I cannot delete them from the device, and have to do so through iTunes. I'm getting really annoyed that half my books aren't showing up on my device. Here are some solutions I've tried:
Ensuring that I'm using the cord that came with the iPad, and not my iPhone 5s cord
Uninstalling iTunes, then downloading the latest version
Restarting my iPad
Making sure my iPad is up to date
Deleting all of the books off of iTunes and adding them back
Trying to sync books in batches of 10
Resetting my network settings
Does anyone have anything that will help? I just want to read my books. :c

Probably a problem with the update server.
There are many similar cases on this discussion.

  • TS1368 Still cannot connect to iTunes store with iPad2. Have tried all suggestions.

    I cannot connect to iTunes store with my iPad2. Not sure why. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears...  Thanks so much!

    Don't know if this has any bearing on the conversation at hand, but I ran into this issue last night. Started when I couldn't purchase anything via Comixology. Which caused a lot of swearing.
    But then realized, that I couldn't get to the Apple store either.
    Figuring that it was my wifi access point being a jerk, I reset that. And "forgot", then reconfigured my wireless.
    Still nothing.
    At this point, I checked our ISP (Charter) to see if they had an outage. They did. DNS servers were hosed. I gave up and went to bed.
    This morning. Same thing. One thing I noticed, was that all of our computers -- not iDevices -- had no problems. Weird.
    So I checked the firewall, and found that every request was going to Malaysia, or Thailand. I have country blocking enabled on our firewall. So, I thought that was weird. Checked the IP addresses that were blocked, and found that they were Akamai addresses. I allowed one device through, to test, and everything works.
    Wondering if Apple is leaning on Akamai for the flood of traffic that the IOS 6 upgrade is causing.
    In any case, if your ISP, or firewall, router, what-not blocks Asian rim countries, it's worth a check.

    Cannot connect to iTune store when selecting update in apps store

    Go to settings > general > date and time> set automatically > off. Then set the date ahead a year or so and try to update your apps again. If you get an error message go back and correct the date and then try to update your apps again.

  • When try to update apps, put my password in it comes up with error message, cannot connect to iTunes store? Same for new apps too?

    I have tried to correct error message by updating iPad, iTunes and security but still get same message "cannot connect to iTunes store?

    it only happens for previous purchases - if you have a computer you can try to download your purchase history there and then just sync them to your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386.

  • HT4009 I keep getting "ERROR Cannot Connect to iTunes Store" when attempting an in-app purchase.

    I've been trying to complete an in-app purchase within the game "Nemo's Reef" for over a week and repeatedly get the same "ERROR Cannot Connect to iTunes Store"
    I've tried a real close for the app, restarting my device (iPhone 5), enabling and disabling restrictions - I DO NOT have in-app purchases restricted under settings-general - restrictions - in app purchases.
    I purchased a book in iBooks this morning - my card was charged and the item downloaded perfectly. I have tried the purchase on WiFi as well as Cellular but neither work. I've also tried turning off my WiFi completely, still doesn't work.

  • Why am I getting 'cannot connect to iTunes store' message when going to App Store?

    I recently purchased a refurbished iPad 1 (iOS 5.0) from the Apple Store.  I've downloaded one free app from the App Store.  But today when I returned to the App Store, the following message displayed:  Cannot connect to iTunes store.
    I have an Apple ID which I can see via Settings.  The software is up-to-date (checked software update).  I can access the App Store via my iPod Touch.
    Any words of wisdom?  Thanks in advance.

    iPad 1 (iOS 5.0)
    Tap Settings > Store
    Make sure Apps is switched on under Automatic Downloads.
    If you download an app on one device it should automatically sync to the other providing they are both running iOS 5.
