Cannot connect to itunes or app store after updating 5s to iOS 8.1.1 - have already gone through troubleshooting.

Hi there,
I'm super late in updating the iOS on my phone because I heard people were having so many problems with this one. I updated today and low and behold - issue. In order to make room for this update I reset my phone and erased all content - then preformed the update to iOS 8.1.1. This is done and I logged back in and started to set it up again.
However, now I can't connect to either itunes or the app store. I've already been on apple.com and gone through the troubleshooting section there. Meaning:
- My date and time are correct.
I've turned off automatic setting, made sure it was correct and turned it back on as a second step.
- Obviously it's updated to the current 8.1.1
- I'm unable to connect either on LTE or when connected to Wifi however, my computer connects to wifi and can get to itunes.
Even though I am connect to wifi - data is turned on for both itunes and app store.
- Restrictions are off
I have fully closed the apps and restarted my phone after taking the above steps but still no luck. I don't get a specific error number only "Cannot Connect to itunes".
Any ideas with this one?

I had the exact same issue. try log out of the App Store in Settings. Then make sure to close all apps running, and log in again. worked for me. Good luck!

  • Cannot connect to iTunes or App store after 2.0.1 firmware update

    I purchase a G3 iPhone last week at 5th Ave. NY and everything was working super, I've been purchasing games, apps, music without a hiccup until I update the firmware last Friday, now a "Cannot connect to iTunes" message pops up when trying to go to either iTunes or Apps Store. All other computers and also a 2G iPhone with 2.0 firmware and wireless devices connects fine, but my new iPhone.
    I've done some google and found many others with same issue, weird I don't see any here. Any ideas, I tried resetting all, reseting networks, all devices, also restoring the iphone again. I even delete the firmware and download it again in case it was something wrong there but no.
    Every time I try to use app store (sometimes) i get in and when I select anything a message pops up indicating "cannot connect to itunes" . Sometimes it pops up from the start, The same with iTunes.
    Should i take it back to Apple store? Is it a 2.0.1 bug or what?
    Thanks for your help

    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.

  • Safari won't load, cannot connect to iTunes or App Store.

    My iPhone 4 suddenly stopped loading websites (Safari cannot open the page because it cannot connect to the server) on 3G except for Google or any Apple pages. I do not have WiFi access so I cannot use the Internet that way. Along with Safari not working, iTunes and the App Store won't load and neither does the new software upgrade page. I've reset all settings and network settings and nothing is working. Any ideas?

  • Ipad Can't connect to itunes and app store after 7.0.2 update

    Hi. Since i've updated my ipad 3 to 7.0.2 i can't seem to download and update apps. I've tried signing in but it won't let me. :( Is there a way to fix this? I don't want to restore to factory default since it will wipe out some in-game purchases.
    I already power started my ipad several times,, and sometimes when i power start, the sound changes, its so annoyingly loud!  Like the click sound is squeaking. Its like broken blown speaker. But it goes away when i restart.
    I don't think it's my internet connection, because i can surf smoothly with other devices. Please help me with this. :(

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    Then restart the iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try logging in to the iTunes Store.
    If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    (no data is lost due to a reset)
    Then try again.

  • 1st Gen iPod Touch cannot login to iTunes or App Store

    My relative's 1st Gen iPod Touch (fully updated) cannot login to iTunes or App Store. Specifically, when the prompt on the iPod touch for their Apple ID, they can type in their ID and password fine, but tapping on "cancel" or "OK" does nothing. The iPod touch is effectively frozen, the only option being to hit the Home button to get out.
    This happens when trying to purchase an item in iTunes, the App Store, and when accessing the Apple ID account through Settings.app on the iPod touch.
    An Apple Store genius recommended restoring, but this did not help. Other internet features (safari, mail, facebook, etc.) work fine. They are still able to download apps through iTunes and then sync them over. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    EconBass

    Thanks lllaass,
    We just tried to do a fresh restore to factory settings. Unfortunately, the exactly same problem persists.
    A little more information, after the username and password are entered, OK can be pressed, but the prompt doesn't go away, and there is a persistent "loading..." sign in the background. This is where the iPod hangs. Here's a picture of what it looks like.
    Thanks,

  • I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
    If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
    If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

    Use iTune to update your apps.
    Check for Updates (bottom right) in iTune. When download is completed, sync to iPad.
