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.

    Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

  • After updating my ipod 4G to iOS 6, I cannot connect to the itunes store.

    I recently updated my ipod to iOS 6. Affter that, I could not connect to the app store. Also, my computer only detected and downloaded half of the music that is on my ipod. My first priority is connecting to the app store through my ipod, because my laptop also says that I didn't buy half of the songs that I bought.

    I lost all my content and im having the same issue. Not sure what to do just wait I guess.

    I have a Sonny Visio 64bit.
    For the last month my iTunes has been unable to connect to the iTune store, get updates make any connection at all.
    My computer is able to get on the internet and other programs do not have this issue.  But my I tune does not even acknowledge that my computer is even on the internet or has access. I have tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes but nothing has helped. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Many thanks.

  • "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again"

    Hi
    I just had my xperia Z3c in repairs, and now I seem to have the death screen or something. When I connect to a wall charger or my MacBook, it starts turning on and off, displaying the message "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again", even when it's connected to the wall charger, not the Mac. I've tried pushing the volume up + on/off button for 10 seconds, and Sony Bridge for Mac doesn't recognize the device. I was told to let it charge for an hour before turning it on at the store, which I did, but again, it starts flashing that message as soon as I connect it to anything.
    Pleease help me out
    Best regards
    Maria

  • Cannot connect to the iTunes store or update my iPod software

    I've been having problems with my iTunes for a while now. Every time I try to connect to the iTunes store, i get the message "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. an unknown error occurred. (-3221). make sure your network connection is active and try again." also, when i try to sync my iPod, i am told that my software is old and i need to download the new version. when i try to do this, i get the message "the ipod software update server could not be contacted. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." ALSO, whenever i put a previously recorded cd into my dvd drive to add it to my iTunes, the iTunes will load the music but not the cd information, which it used to find automatically! can someone please help me? i've contacted apple several times and done everything they've said to try; i've tried all of the advice here in the support section and even talked to friends with lots of computer experience and nothing has helped. i even uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it and turned off my firewall. still nothing!

  • I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.

    I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.
    My MacBook Air is connected and my roommates phones are also connected, but my iphone that always was connected to the same network is no longer connecting to the wifi.
    The network is shown on the device but I can't join it.
    Whats going on? Does someone know how to solve this issue?
    Thank you!

    Problem persisted after fixes were done so wife called apple today.           Their fix is to turn cellular off when in the house and turn it back on when she leaves- the 4 doesn't keep the password so she has to enter the password too... This wasn't a fix ...it's just resolving the connection problem... They also said that they made ios6 have security features so nobody can hack into the wifi without having the password and it has to be entered to use the wifi.  My 5 and the iPads stay on with no problems.  It's just the 4.        So far so good...she's had wifi all day when home.    It's inconvenient but it's either completely reboot it with iTunes (which doesn't work for her) or buy a new phone and she won't do that either.
    So...Apple is saying that she didn't have to do the updates either and could've stayed with the previous iOS     but !!!too late now!!!  We've updated because we think our phones will run better but the ios6 just made it a pita for users
    I wonder if the hackers of the world are having as many issues as the peeps who are just trying to use their wifi??

  • Cannot Connect to the iTunes Store (UPDATED)

    I know there are many threads on this forum about the topic of not being able to connect to the iTunes store, so I'm sorry for posting another one. I've read many of the threads, but I'm either very confused by them, the circumstances are different than mine, or I've already tried the solutions offered (and they failed). Here is my situation:
    About 4 days ago, my Internet connection went down. I figured this out when I couldn't connect to the iTunes store. I quickly fixed my Internet problem. One of the cords in the monitor or external power outlet (I don't remember) had to be plugged into the router. I did so and my Internet connection worked. However, iTunes didn't work. I still couldn't connect to the iTunes store. It said "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. Your network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again."
    I have restarted and reopened iTunes. I have also used the support tips at this website: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368. I have turned off/configured my Windows Firewall. I have turned off my pop-up blocker. I have flushed my DNS settings. My Internet works. The checkboxes for Use SSL 3.0 and Use TLS 1.0 are checked.
    I believe I have iTunes 7. Help is greatly appreciated. Also- I am not super tech-savvy so simple instructions would be great. Thanks!

    I had a similar problem, but this email from Apple helped to solve it.
    Good luck!!
    Dear Michael,
    Thank you for the information you've included. I have information for your
    system that should have you connected, and able to retain a stable connection
    for downloading.
    There are two web domains and two executable applications the iTunes Store uses.
    If blocked or in conflict with other software, this causes information traveling
    between the iTunes application on your system to lose communication with the
    iTunes Store on the Internet. Here are a few examples of software that can cause
    this:
    * Virus Scanners
    * Web accelerators
    * Ad filters or pop-up blockers
    * Firewalls
    If you have installed any of this software, then you can consult the Help or
    documentation for this software. It is more likely, however, that you will need
    to contact your Internet Service Provider and/or computer manufacturer for
    information on what software they have installed. They can tell you whether or
    not they pre-install any of this software, and should be able to assist you in
    configuration. When you're ready to configure, be sure to close both iTunes and
    QuickTime.
    Pop-up blockers, ad filters and privacy services oftentimes block the two web
    domains used by the iTunes Store. These two domains will need to be configured
    as "Trusted Domains" or as "Allowed Cookies:"
    phobos.apple.com
    phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
    Virus Scanners and Firewalls will often allow the main iTunes.exe application
    access to the Internet, but often block the iTunesHelper.exe application used by
    the iTunes Store. You will want to allow these two program full access to the
    Internet:
    iTunes.exe
    iTunesHelper.exe
    NOTE: Your Windows Firewall is currently set to "Off." When your system’s
    default firewall has been disabled, it has most likely been disabled by
    third-part security software that replaces this firewall with its own version.
    Be sure to focus on configuring the third-party firewall for both applications.
    If you find that your firewall can block or allow your network's connection
    ports directly, then be sure to allow all three of these TCP ports used by the
    iTunes Store:
    Name: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
    Port Number: 80
    Name: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL, or "HTTPS")
    Port Number: 443
    Name: Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP)
    Port Number: 3689
    You should be able to create and maintain a connection to the iTunes Store at
    this point. Simply restart your system and, once it has started up, open iTunes
    and test various actions on the iTunes Store. You should be able to sign in and
    download purchases without error.
    If, after troubleshooting, you still cannot connect and maintain a connection to
    the iTunes Store, then you will need to call our AppleCare technical support
    team. A representative will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and
    fee-based support options and can help you determine which option might be most
    helpful in this case. To find the appropriate phone number, please visit:
    http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html
    I hope this information is helpful in getting you to gain access to the iTunes
    Store.

  • Recently when I log on to itunes, my computer tries to connect to the itunes store and then just remains blank. the screen is white and I cannot even connect to itunes help from the itunes tab  ... help!

    Recently, when I open itunes I cannot connect to the itunes store. It shows that it is connecting then the screen is blank and remains blank. I cannot even open the itunes help section from itunes. I had to log on to the support sight from my browser. Any ideas????

    Hi.
    I have spent the past 10 days trying to solve this problem of “iTunes Store” no longer opening.
    During this time of emailing backwards and forwards to iTunes Support nothing they suggested worked. All the links they sent didn’ toffer any help. I was basically just being told to delete iTunes and then reinstall it again.
    After this long period of emailing each other every day,they finally told me that I need more detailed Technical Help and gave me a phone number to call their Apple Telephone Technical Help line.
    When I explained all of the above, the man I was speaking to said did you delete EVERYTHING connected with iTunes, to which I said that I had deleted iTunes so I assumed that would be it. I was then told that this was the problem, I was not told to also delete Quick Time and Bonjour etc., infact everything else connected with iTunes.
    So this is the procedure:
    Control Panel/ Delete/Uninstall a Program
    Then delete ALL of the following: “Apple ApplicationsSupport”, - “Apple Software Update”, - Bonjour, - “iTunes”, - “Quick Time”.
    Finally, go to ‘Start’/’Search’ then type in iTunes and then you will see appear a whole string of at least 10 files all with the word ‘iTunes’ in each file name. DELETE EVERY ITEM. You should have now entirely cleared your computer of everything connected with Apple iTunes.
    Now, Reinstall iTunes, which will reinstall everything you have just deleted explained above.
    Result?  It all workedagain!!
