Error message - Cannot connect to store and store may be busy?

Hi
I just purchased an iPhone 3G yesterday and I wanted to create an Apple account so that I could install applications onto my iPhone. Since then I've been trying to open iTunes store but an error message keeps coming up.
It says
"Could not complete the iTunes store request. The store may be busy. Check your Internet connection and try again later"
The thing is my internet works fine for everything else. So I thought maybe if I create an account on My info place as Apple forums told me I could access the store but still with no luck. Moreover my Genius and I believe iTunes store have been set to French as the language for some strange reason and now everything only on my App Store on my iPhone is in French too!
Please any help in any way would be really appreciated, I just really want to install applications and use the store soon for my new iPhone!
Thank you!

Hi
I thought of another method and tried it and now everything is working. What I did was install iTunes onto my father's laptop and everything was working fine there so I created an account and everything because iTunes store was working fine and plugged in my iPhone so everything is okay and not in french anymore! I just really needed to configure an account to get applications from my iPhone.
So I think there is something wrong with our proxy settings or anti virus settings that is blocking the iTunes store from working properly and I think we should show it to an Apple support store or any tech person who knows about proxy settings etc as well as about iTunes etc. So what I've concluded is that there is nothing wrong with out internet connections at all it's just some settings on our computers that need to be changed. So you guys should try and work it out on another computer to see.
Hopes everyone else's problems work out okay and hope this idea was helpful!

    My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?

    Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store.  Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

  • Error message "cannot connect to server"

    Often I get an error message "cannot connect to server" when
    I want to connect to acrobat.com directly from a .pdf document in
    order to upload it . Is it possible that there is some security
    issue involved, e.g. that the document is protected somehow? Or
    could browser or firewall settings be involved?

    Hi Peterernst,
    Thanks for posting.
    Perhaps yes, firewall, and browser popup blockers have been
    known to cause some behavioral, and connectivity issues within
    Acrobat.com
    Users have had success with allowing *.acrobat.com as a
    trusted site locally, to see if that allows connectivity.
    Also what browser, and OS are you using?
    If still in the Unix environment, do you have access to a
    Windows, or Mac environment?
    Thanks!

  • HT4623 I keep getting an error message "cannot connect to the internet."  Is this a problem with my internet provider, or has anyone else had this problem.

    I keep getting an error message "cannot connect to the internet."  Is this a problem with my internet provider, or has anyone else had this problem.

    I get that problem once in a while and I will not be able to connect to the Internet with any of the 5 or 6 (or 7 or 8 ) web browsers that I use on my iPad. The one thing that I do that has never failed to work for me is to close all apps on my iPad and reset the device. I can't guarantee that it will work for you, but this works for me every time I get the server failed to load/can't connect to the Internet message.... Or whatever the exact message is.
    If you have a ton of apps in the multitasking display, it can take a while to close them all, so you could just trey resetting the iPad first and that might be all that you need to do.
    Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
