Error when installing apps: Cannot connect to iTunes store

I have a 3G and i've been able to download and install apps through the app store via iPhone. Recently, the iTunes store on my computer gives the error "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An Unknown error occured (5002)" anytime i search or try to download. Similarly on my iPhone i cannot download through the App Store ever since the computer store error, which i concluded to be a linked error. What is error 5002 exactly, and should I just reinstall iTunes to see if the error is corrected?

Hey jnageer1037,
Have you updated to the latest version of iTunes and iPhone software, currently iTunes 8.0.1 & iPhone software 2.1.

http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/
When you double click on one of the downloaded apps in iTunes does iTunes say the app is missing?
JWalton,
Do you see the same issue after downloading FREE ON iTunes content and then syncing it to the iPhone? You can find FREE ON iTunes content by going to iTunes> iTunes Store> FREE ON iTunes near the bottom center of the page.

    What is error 1202? I cannot connect to itunes store. i have downloaded the latest version of itunes and still not able to connect to itunes store.

    For those who are getting annoyed, I have found a solution which requires you to create a new apple ID without using credit card information:
    1. Go the app store
    2. Hit cancel when it asks you to sign in (If it doesn't, continue to step 3)
    3. Find a free app and try to download it
    4.  you to sign in option will appear, it will ask you if you want to use existing ID or create a new apple id. SELECT CREATE NEW APPLE ID
    5. Follow the steps and when it gets to the stage it asks you for your card info, Choose 'None'
    6. Full in all you name and address etc... And click next.
    7. Verify your email and Enjoy downloading FREE apps
    8. Say thank you as I do appreciate your love :)

  • Can't update apps - 'cannot connect to itunes store'

    This is what I've been getting all weekend on my iPhone 4 (4.1).
    My Mac's iTunes also has been unable to deliver updates (OSX 10.6.4; iTunes 10.0.1); I can purchase and download iTunes music/videos just fine; but the check for app updates just spins for a bit and returns nothing.
    *But my iPad can see and download it's app updates just fine!*
    Any hints/suggestions? I've rebooted and logged in/out of my store account but that doesn't seem to fix it. Everything was working fine until this weekend....
    Thanks!
    Tom

    This is happening to me too, I'm in the UK - (are you in the US?), and when I try to update my apps via the 'app store' on my iPhone itself I get the message 'cannot connect to iTunes store', and when I go into (the latest version of) iTunes, and click 'check for updates' the blue/white striped bar goes across for about one second then just stops, without the message telling me that there are updates, or that there are no updates available.
    I really hope that Apple sorts this out soon, or at least acknowledges that there is a problem, when companies don't tell their customers what is really going on it causes all kinds of rumour and conjecture that could be worse than just telling it to us straight.

    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 can update apps that are on my phone though my daughters iTunes account but I cannot update my apps with my account. Please advise!

    If it isn't working on multiple networks and a restart didn't help, the next step would be to restore the iPhone. You may even have to try restoring it as a new device.
    If you don't want to restore the iPhone, you can try to avoid the problem by updating the apps in iTunes and then syncing them to the iPhone. Who knows, maybe the problem will go away after syncing one or two of the updated apps.

  • When trying to install apps from app store it does not prompt an apple id and after 15 minutes says "cannot connect to itunes store"

    When trying to install apps from app store it does not prompt an apple id and after 15 minutes says "cannot connect to itunes store".

    Your Apple ID may be greyed out because of restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Changes>Accounts. If you set that restriction, your ID will be greyed out. Nobody can make changes to the account without entering the passcode to change disable the restriction.
    Maybe something in here will help, even though this is not exactly what you are experiencing.

  • TS1368 My wifi works fine and I can access the store fine, but when I try to install an app, I get the message "cannot connect to iTunes store"

    My wifi works fine and I can access the store fine, but when I try to install an app, I get the message "cannot connect to iTunes store"

    I am guessing there is an issue with the store right now considering so many people are having the same problem on different platforms. I can't access it with my iPod Touch 4th Gen, yet my wifi is working and I can access the internet using other apps, but when I go to update a couple of apps from the iPod, I get the same error message after I try to sign in to the store.

  • Has anyone gotten the following error message when trying to do in-app purchases? Error purchasing from App Store, then underneith that ,Cannot connect to itunes Store (0)

    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.

  • When I try to connect to App Store,I get an error message stating "cannot connect to iTunes Store.  I show 3 bars on wifi connection

    When I try to connect to App Store, I receive an error message stating, "cannot connect to iTunes Store.  I show 3 bars on my wifi connection?  Can someone help...why if I tap App store, does a iTune error message display?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • HT4759 I can not install app's from the app store on my phone,and when i try, i get a message tells me (cannot connect to itunes store) that happened after i updated it to "IOS6" . it's a "IPhone4 S"

    I can not install app's from the app store on my phone,and when i try, i get a message tells me (cannot connect to itunes store) that happened after i updated it to "IOS6" . it's a "IPhone4 S"

    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.

  • Why does it say "Cannot Connect to iTunes store" when I try to install an App?

    I'm trying to install instagram onto my phone and When I click Free>Install App a pop up notification says "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store". It doesn't even prompt me to sign in and I can get onto the iTunes App fine. How can I fix this?

    I'm having the same problem with the iTunes Store...it much be down :(

  • HELP! when I click on App Store from my desktop, I get an error message: "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". What does this mean?

    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.
