"Cannot Connect to iTunes" Error iOS 6.0.1 Have tried everything! Got advice?

I have iPhone 4S.
Just updated to iOS 6.0.1.
I'm getting the very common "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store" error when I try to download anything in the App Store. I have tried EVERYTHING to resolve it and nothing works.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Set Date&Time to 2013. Try App Store. Got error. Set Date&Time to auto again. DIDNT WORK.
2. Set Date&Time to 2030. Try App Store. Got error. Set Date&Time to auto again. DIDNT WORK.
3. Rebooted iPhone twice after resetting Date&Time. DIDNT WORK.
4. Signed out of iTunes/Apple ID account. DIDNT WORK. Worse, now iTunes won't even acknowledge my account and wont let me sign back in! DIDNT WORK.
I have tried everything every one has said worked for them. Nothing works for me.
Does anyone have any suggestions before I throw the phone out the window? God help me, if I'm forced to go to Windows 8, I'll cry.

Heavens no ... Don't do it!
There are a bunch of users posting about this problem right now. One might assume that there is something "hinky" going on with the Apple servers. There is one other thing that you can try, that you haven't already mentioned ... Don't know if it will work ... You may just have to wait this out until Apple fixes it but ....

More than likely, it is an Apple glitch, but give it a try.

TS3297 Cannot connect to iTunes error

I am trying to download an app onto my ipad but can't due to a "cannot connect to iTunes error." I have tried tried shutting down, resetting, changing the time back and then correcting and adjusting the DNS address. I also do not have any uploads pending and my software is up-to-date. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Apple appears to be having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to fix it.

I think you should probably also read the iPad User Guide. You didn't say what version of iOS your iPad is running, so here's the links to both the iOS 6 and iOS 7 (PDF) versions:

iPad User Guide for iOS 7

So I was updating iPAD and while updating it stopped and gave me a typical error message but with error 4013. It worked fine before and is now stuck in the "connect to itunes mode" recovery mode. I have tried updating and no luck. I have even tried updating in DFU mode and no luck. Anyone git any solutions

Are you following these instructions?
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

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:

Cannot connect to iTunes Store iOS 6.1.3 iPad 3G

Since iOS 6.1.3 I'm not always able to update my Apps in the AppStore.
I receive the classic "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". I can see it is a time-out in a wrong route config or something.
My iPhone and iPad mini works fine.
I've tried reset network settings. Also I've tried to update over 3G (no WiFi) and this worked well (not for Apps >50Mb).
When I try to resume to update from WiFi (disable 3G) it still doesn't work.
Tried to kill the AppStore app, didn't work.
Anyone also having this problem?

I saw a failed download in iTunes (iPad) and retried to download this song.
This went ok. Then back to the AppStore and whala it all works again.
Maybe it was an error with Apple, I don't know.

Cannot connect to iTunes error comes up when I try and download a movie from iTunes. What do I do?

I tired moving the date and time ahead by a few years. I changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 - nothing worked. Any suggestions?

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.

Cannot connect to iTunes (Error -25294)

I am writing this because ever since I upgraded my titanium Powerbook G4 from OSX 10.2.8 to 10.4.1, I have been unable to access the iTunes Music Store. Every time I sign in, I get this message saying "iTunes could not connect to the music store. An unknown error occurred (-25294). Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have tried to connect at home via dialup on airport extreme, and at school via LAN, but nothing works. Is this just a bug in Tiger that Apple is trying to fix? I would love to be able to buy new music again soon, so any suggestions as to how this can be fixed would be appreciated!

I followed the instructions for Keychain First Aid. Verification and Repair failed. Got a message that System/Library/Keychains/x509Anchors could not be found. WIth it, many applications will be unable to establish secure network connections.
Under Repair it said You will need to manually copy it from another machine or reinstall the system software.
Does this mean I need to reinstall Tiger? I suspect that whatever this problem is has also prevented me from accessing my bank, hotmail and other sites through Safari, since I keep getting the message that the computer can't establish a secure connection.
I can't find the other thing you talked about. In fact, I don't really even know what a keychain is.

Attempting to download the free ibook Year in Focus 2013. Each time the dload appears to be close to finishing I get a message stating that cannot connect to iTunes and book never downloads. Have rebooted and still issue.

Each time I make an attempt to download the free book Year in Focus 2013 I get a message that states cannot connect to iTunes even though I am connected and after several hours of downloading. I have rebooted twice now and making another attempt but so far does not look promising. I have an ipad 2 and up to date on newest release of 7.0.6. What can I try next?

Hi Tintin01,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're being repeatedly prompted to install the 64-bit version of iTunes, I'd suggest first completely uninstalling iTunes and all its related components using the steps found here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Once you've uninstalled iTunes and its components, install the latest version of iTunes found here:
iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows 64

Help!! iTunes won't launch and I have tried EVERYTHING!!!

HELP!! I updated iTunes to 10 in December and ever since I can't get iTunes to launch. An hour glass will come up, then nothing. When I go into Processes, it doesn't show iTunes running. All it shows is iTuners Helper. I have tried EVERYTHING. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 100 times trying everything from uninstalling, running a virus scan then reinstalling to reinstalling an older version, to disabling Bonjour to uninstalling Quicktime. I have spent countless hours on message boards trying to solve this. Please someone offer some guidance or a different solution. It is getting really frustrating not being able to listen to music on my PC or being able to update my iPod. Thanks!

You haven't given much information about what you have tried so starting from the beginning:
Have worked through this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
If you have and it didn't help, at least you should know if the problem is system wide, or confined to one account. This is an important first step.
Error message free launch failure can be tricky, and it is easiest if iTunes.exe persists on the processes tab as that means that iTunes is launching, but getting stuck.
If you watch the processes tab in Task Manager while launching iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear and then disappear, or does it never even appear?

I cannot open PDF files since installing Firefox 4. Have tried everything. Help.

I installed Firefox 4, and now I cannot open PDF files. I have tried everything, including disabling PDF download, re-installing Adobe Reader, etc etc. Nothing seems to work.

I was under the impression Foxit was a pdf viewer rather than an addon for Firefox, but maybe there is more than one application with a similar name.
I did not notice mention of foxit in the help, but add-ons are not always mentioned.

Cannot connect to itune errors over and over for activation

I have an Iphone 5 and it has loaded the new software but when it tries to connect to itunes it fails. Though I can acces itunes and the store.

All of Apple's servers...including the activation servers are pretty much flooded with users like you doing the same thing. Be patient and keep at it...or wait till the traffic to them has decreased and then try again.
