Cannot connect to iTunes Store since evening of 23 Aug 2007

And still cannot connect this morning (24 Aug 2007).
This was working just fine on 22 Aug.
Is there any way to tell if the iTunes store is down for maintenance?

Are you getting Connection Reset messages? If so, this may sound dumb, but try this...TRY as hard as you can to log into your iTunes account. If you can get in, change your payment preferences. Switch to paypal or switch to a credit card. This is only temporary, you can change it again next time.
Quit iTunes and restart.
This fixed the problem for me. It seems that if iTunes gives you a credit it can mess things up. I found out this info from an archived thread and this thread:

I really hope this helps you. Good luck!

  • Cannot connect to iTunes Store since bought Sony laptop running Windows 8

    I have a new Sony Vaio laptop running on Windows 8. Everything is fine with iTunes (my music etc transferred and new iPhone 5S synced no problem) except I cannot connect to the Store. The connection bar runs to about three-quarters of the way and then message pops up saying "iTunes has stopped working". Have tried uninstalling and re-installing. Has made no difference. I have ESET firewall protection but this wasn't a problem on my old Sony with Vista. Help! Thank you in advance!

    Wow. Have just found a fix on another board that worked! Try this:
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes

    Same phone and ios, same problem. Worked just fine for me Sunday, but nothing today, all day. As a workaround I found I can still connect using iTunes on my Macbook Pro, the I synch my iPhone. There are way too many people with the same problem for it to be anything but Apples problem. Hope this helps.

  • Since the last iphone update i have been getting the message cannot connect to itunes store when i try to download any application. How do i resolve this?

    Since the last iphone software upgrade, every time i try to download an application i keep getting the message "cannot connect ot itunes store". How can i resolve this? I have tried rebooting but that didnt work.

    Try logging out of your account on the iPhone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
    If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and change the date to a few months (or maybe a year or two) in the future and then re-trying

    First try this - log out of your account - Settings>Store >Apple ID - sign out. Restart the iPad, Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Sign in again - Settings>Store>Sign in.

  • HT1689 Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?

    Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?

    Check to make sure you don't have your restrictions turned on, which may be preventing your access to iTunes.
    Tap on the settings icon, then tap General, then check to see if you have restrictions turned to ON.  If so turn it off.

  • Whenever I try to download an app, it always says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store", even though I am connected to wifi three bars. And sometimes it just goes blak and quits the app. Right after I downloaded iOS 6 this started to happen. Please help me.

  • HT204266 I keep getting the message 'cannot connect to iTunes Store' even though I have full wifi?

    Can only update apps when I connect via PC, this was working up to about 2 weeks ago.
    I have been out foreign since last time I updated apps via iPhone and wifi.

    Ahhhhhhh I am go glad I am not the only one having this problem!! It started 2 weeks ago when I changed my Apple ID because it used to be my college email address (which is about to expire because I graduated) and I had to change my ID to another email address. When I did that, the whole "Cannot connect to itunes store" issue started whenever I try to update my apps either on my iphone (Update All) OR on my PC in itunes.
    I now have 21 apps that need updating. This is driving me nuts. I have literally tried everything. Finally the Apple support guy I had been emailing back and forth told me to make an appointment with a hotline but I am pretty sure that costs money.....?
    HELPPPPPPP! I want updates for my apps dang it!

  • Cannot connect to iTunes Store to update Apps (Games) even though it accepts my password?

    I Press on up-dates and it ask for my password and starts to download but then it comes up with ( cannot connect to iTunes) Help please

    Now that's really weird.
    Hopefully you can find an appropriate contact here.
    By the way, do not confuse matters by referring to playing (using) the apps because that does not require a connection to the store.  Simply state that you can download new apps but get the "cannot connect to iTunes Store" message when you attempt to update.

  • 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.

    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.
    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.

  • New Iphone 5 Cannot connect to Itunes Store

    I have just got a new Iphone which is now just a week old. Since the beginning I haven't been able to download any apps due to an error message
    "Cannot connect to Itunes Store". I have been able to connect to the Itunes and App store on the Iphone but as of yet have not been able to download any apps.
    I really don't know what is wrong. I cant even sign in to my Apple Account in Settings as the same error message comes up.

    I'm having the same problem with both my iPhone 5 and my third-gen iPad. It started as an intermittent problem but today I cannot connect at all. I've tried the various "fixes" such as changing the date forward and back. iOS is up to date so that's not the issue either. I've shut off the devices and restarted. No change. This is enormously frustrating. I wanted to test an app for work but cannot get it, nor can I update existing apps. Did I mention how enormously frustrating this is??

    Devices show 'Cannot connect to itunes store' when try to purchase via device. However able to purchase via computer therefore password is correct. I purchased a rental film yesterday via ipad so this has just occured today. I've tried rebooting both devices and re sincing with itunes, but the problem remains. I back up via computer not icloud if this makes a difference, which it shouldn't. Any ideas??

    I had this exact issue.  However, I was not even able to "see" the pending downloads when I tried fixing them using the solution above.
    In another thread, I saw that someone mentioned an issue with the use of the "&" (ampersand) symbol in your appleID information.  I had recently changed my name and it did include the & symbol in my name (not the appleID itself).  I replaced the ampersand with the word "and" and saved.  I then went to the iTunes store and logged into my account there and made the same change on my billing name.
    Voila!  I could now access the 7 pending downloads on my desktop Mac and download them, and all iPhone/iPad/Ipods were again able to download from the app store.
    incidentally, I had several support tickets open on this issue and never once did the Apple person even suggest that this might be the issue.
