Why do I get "Cannot connect to ITunes Store" message on my IPad and IPhone?
Why do I get "Cannot connect to ITunes Store" message on my IPad and IPhone?
I have tried numerous times to connect to ITunes Store to update my current apps and continue to get this message. Apple has determined that it is not a device problem or an Apple problem. It has to do with ITunes. Can anyone help?I am having no problems downloading from the app store today. I just tried it again. However, I read some of those other discussions as well and there have been times when the iTunes or App Store has been out of commission. Don't hold your breath waiting for Apple to acknowledge it because that is not going to happen. That is not how they operate.
You can report it to them here ....

Cannot connect to itunes store when searching on ipad 2 after I updated it to IOS 6.0.1
"Cannot connect to itunes store" when searching apps on my ipad 2 after it was undated to IOS 6.0.1.
But the featured and updates work well.
I tried to sign out and sign in, reconnect my wifi, and reboot my ipad as well...it doesn't work.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 ...........

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.

I've turned my iPad off, then on again, I've logged out of iTunes, and logged back in, I've updated my credit card information, but nothing seems to be working. Is this a problem within the app?toshiro-99 wrote:

IBooks cannot connect to iTunes Store
None of the responses to this question have ever been helpful... I have tried all kinds of things to fix tis problem. Because iBooks cannot communicate with iTunes for some reason (even though I can open the iTunes Store app just fine.) all of the books I try to download get stuck at like 75% and then when I close the app and reopen they are back at 0% and every time I try to redo the download that annoying message comes up (cannot connect to iTunes Store) at which time I can immediately go to iTunes store just fine with the app.
I have tried killing and reopening all of my processes (double tapping home button), resetting all network settings, restarting iPad, resetting Wi Fi, checking the time zone, and pretty much everything on that list made to troubleshoot iTunes trouble. So please don't be lazy and refer me to that list again or blame it on my internet, because it works just fine. Please give me something helpful. Sorry if this comes across as rude, but I am fed up with how many people have had this issue and how Apple hasn't even tried to solve it. I have iPad mini iOS 7.1.2You may not have tried all of the fixes below.

How much Available storage space do you have? The space may not be sufficient for the size of the download. To check, go to Settings>General>About>Available Are you trying to download one book or multiple books at one time?

while purchasing something from my iphone ( it says : cannot connect to itunes store ) how to fix this?
Hello Emamoe,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when making an in-app purchase on your iPhone. I found a couple of articles I recommend for this issue.
First, I recommend using the steps in the section titled “Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch” in the following article (the article title refers to the iTunes Store, but the steps are relevant for the App Store as well):

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
If the issue persists after following the steps in that section, I recommend continuing with the steps in the section titled “Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)” in the article below. This section will help you isolate the network issue that could be blocking you on those apps:

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.

When I try to connect my IPad to ITunes store, I get a message "cannot connect to ITunes store".
Hello, Darktowerfan1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple articles that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

"Cannot connect to iTunes Store" & "iTunes store temporarily unavailable"
PROBLEM:
Our iPhones, iPad, and iPod Touches all give us "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" message when we try to purchase an App or update Apps using Apple's "App Store" App. When using iTunes on our MAC desktop, which is used to sync all our devices, I'd select "Check for available downloads" from the Store Menu and would recieve the error message "Unable to check for available downloads. The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please check back later." All our devices and software were up to date. We had not upgraded to iCloud yet, allthough I don't think that matters.
Note:
- We were able to purchase songs on iTunes and access our iTunes account so we had access to iTunes Store, despite the misleading error messages. We just couldn't get the Apps to download or update.
- This happened whether I was on my iPhone using our password protected WiFi, the non-password protected WiFi at the local Apple Store, as well as when I turned WiFi off and used 3G.
I spent hours trying every solution offered on these discussion boards as well as an on non-Apple sites to no avail. I went to the local Apple store and after an hour and a half wait had someone at the Genius Bar check it out and say he couldn't fix it. I emailed Apple Help on this website and received a boilerplate reply pointing to 2 KBs that I'd already tried (support.apple.com/kb/TS1368) and (support.apple.com/kb/TS1398). When I replied I tried all that, and still needed help they pointed me to Apple Care. My husband called Apple Care who wouldn't talk to us because supposedly you can only purchase it during a window of time after buying your new device. Our iPad is the youngest at only 4 months old, so I don't know how that can be. Maybe he didn't want to pay for it just yet. I was ready to chuck these into the trash until my husband figured it out.
So... if you're experiencing the same error messages, here was our fix. In hindsight it's so simple I can't believe it.
SOLUTION:
Went to the MAC desktop that we use to sync and update all our devices. In iTunes in the left hand column under "Store" click Download. The app at the top of the queue was "stuck" (similar to a printer that won't print because of a problem with the first job in the queue). Click the first App in the queue to get it downloading. That's it!
Once they all chug through then you can start updating apps on your devices using the App Store app. Relief!
I hope this helps someone because it was a frustrating experience!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. -
ITunes 9.2.0.61 cannot connect to iTunes Store
To make a long story short, I have been through the forums and tried everything to no avail. I was asked to update iTunes in order to update my iPhone to ver 4. This was 3 days ago and I still have not updated my iPhone. I have updated iTunes to the above and cannot connect to itunes store. I have tried the forums which seems to have improved things but it is still not working. I have access to the iTunes store from my laptop and iPhone (Wifi) When I run iTunes and try to access the store it says "iTunes could not Connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again"
If I go to the iTunes help tab and Run Diagnostics, the Network connectivity test passes and verifies all ok???????????????
I am not an IT guy but to my way of thinking, something is pointing iTunes to the wrong place when it wants to go to the store. I have spent enough time trying to fix my PC after apple broke it and would like to just upgrade my iPhone 3gS. I am waiting for an email from Apple since yesterday but would appreciate it if someone here could help me get this sorted.
Herewith the additional info that may be required as well as verification that I should be able to connect to iTunes store.

Edit > Preferences > Parental Control and check iTunes Store, Allow access to iTunes U and click OK. Try going to the store. Then go back to Preferences and uncheck iTunes Store
or the LAN settings..
After sitting at my computer for HOURS on Wednesday trying almost everything everyone suggested... I logged back into my PC Thursday & somehow my iTunes store was connected. I have absolutely no idea what I did. Point is you should probably try those, turn it off then turn it back on & see if that helps. I really wish I could help. I know exactly how much of a pain this entire issue can be.. Good luck!
