Cannot connect to iTunes Store/App Store WHATSOEVER.
Help! No matter what I do I can't connect to the App Store or iTunes. I've tried on my PC, iPod touch 2nd and 4th, iPad 2 and 3, but nothing works!! It always loads endlessly or until it times out. It's really strange because it used to work, but around in 2012 it just stopped.
But heres the weird thing:
It only works from 11:00 at night to around 1:00 AM. WEIRD. Way too late for me.
Can someone please help me?
I need to update to iOS 6.0.1 for my iPod touch 4g.
My iPod touch 2g is stuck in the iTunes and USB state (restore mode?).
I want to download apps!
I live in a really remote area (Northern BC) and we have download speeds of up to 100KB/s. Could a slow internet connection have something to do with it? And whats with the "late at night" thing Apple?
It's not an OS problem - it's a bandwidth problem. Too many people downloading a ~246 MB update. Be patient, try again tomorrow to update your apps.
You see a 'cannot connect to store' error because the 'store' (that part that delivers the updates) is overloaded with requests for the iPhone OS update. If it was an access problem, you'd get that message immediately, not after some long period of "Loading..."
It's also possible that Apple simply cut off access to app updates temporarily - when they released v2.1, many users were unable to download that because of bandwidth issues, so this may be a conscious effort to reduce some traffic.

IPad app store message "Cannot connect to iTunes store"
Recently my iPad (wifi) & my husband's iPhone (AT&T)have been unable to connect to the app store or iTunes. We get the message "cannot connect to iTunes store". The only thing that I have done recently is download a kindle book & add a Bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard was never paired with the iPhone so I don't think that could be the issue. The iPad & iPhone have both been updated, but that hasn't resolved the issue. There was no problem connecting to iTunes through the PC to run the update. Why would both devices suddenly have the same problem? One is wifi & one is 3G so it's not the connection. They have nothing in common except the error. Any help would be appreiciated since this is getting frustrating. Thanks!
Hi, Thank you! I did as you suggested but it didn't work. So, this time I cleared all apps out of the tray, signed out of my account at the store, and did a hard reboot. Then on my desktop I signed out of my account in iTunes and then synced. I have signed back into the store on the iPad but still get the same message.

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.

my phone keep asking me to sign in to iTunes store and will not allow me to download apps. it sends a message saying "Cannot connect to itunes store" what do i do?
Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections. -
My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly. Even when i sign in and out.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.

I'm getting an error message when trying to make in-app purchases.
Error purchasing from App Store
Cannot connect to itunes Store (0)
I can purchase songs in itunes, but not the in-app purchase for Kingdoms at War. I've checked the parental controls and all the other obvious things in settings. Let me know if anyone knows how to correct this. Thanks.Here is an update and more information: I actually have two MBP's. One is a mid-2009 model and one is a new, mid-2012. I transferred files from the mid-2009 to the mid-2012, but I use both computers frequently. This problem only occurs on the mid-2009 and not on the mid-2012. I have authorized both computers.

After I get the abovemention error message, the only option I have is to click "OK". Doing that gives me a white blank screen with the only option to "Cancel". Clicking on that brings up an Update screen to update an app I never downloaded. What's going on? How do I get rid of this?
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.
In the meantime ...........
