Getting error "cannot connect to the App Store"
getting error "cannot connect to the App Store"
YAY!!! Saved it in my Mac's Firefox Bookmarks for easy future access!
Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....
TMI?

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.

My iPad cannot connect to the app store but my iPhone can, what do I need to do?
My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps but my iPhone4s can. They were both recently updated to ios6. Whats wrong with this thing?
So you are saying that after you updated several apps - now you cannot connect to the iTunes or App Stores?
"My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps"
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
Or try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
Or this ...
Reboot 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. -
Cannot connect to the App Store since upgrading to Mountain Lion.
I downloaded through the App Store Mountain Lion. Everything is working great except that the App Store app. I keep getting "Cannot connect to the App Store" error message. Is it possible that it's still too much traffic on the servers or a bug in Mountain Lion? App Store worked fine before obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get Mountain Lion. I tried trashing the plist and cache.db several times and still no go. Anybody else have this problem? Help!
This seems to be a bug in the OS. After days looking for an answer, I found one that will probably help those of you that, like me, tried just about everything else that has been suggested in the forums:
http://b.rthr.me/wp/?p=356
I came back to this forum, being one of the latest dealing with this issue, to share this. If it works for you then please do what I did and share it in some other forum on this issue to spread the word.
Apple please fix this bug in the OS !!! -
After upgrading to OS 10.8, my Mac App Store is not working. It says: Cannot Connect To The App Store. Kindly Help
Also having that problem - I checked and I am connected to internet (can access other websites or other pages in Apple's website), can login from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) with Mac App Store there, but if I use the (external) drive with ML to start up, no go.
I can get to the "Featured"/initial MAS page, and tried going to the login from there, but same problem as Mitoshacer.
In my case, MacBook Pro (2.66GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB external with ML - vs. 320GB internal drive with 10.6.8), March/April 2009 model. Have done searches for the problem online, but nothing shows up (except some for older OS X versions). -
My iPod (first generation) cannot connect to the app store nor iTunes. What can I do so that it can connect and I can install apps or music once more? Also, when I go on the internet and try to search solutions, it freezes and I have to hold the power button for 20 seconds for it to go to lock screen. Any solutions?
Safari does work, right?

i've tried reinstalling the 10.6.8 combo update, but that hasn't worked, i've tried reinstalling the original snow leopard disk that came with the macbook pro, then doing software updates, but that hasn't worked. any advice would be greatly appreciated, just want to upgrade to lion but i have to have access to the app store to do so, frustrating. thanks in advance for any help,

Cannot connect to the app store
Hi all,
My girlfriend has a macbook air, and wanted to update her computer to Lion. I had no problem doing that on my own macbook pro, but I can't do it on hers. She didn't update her softwares regularly, so at first I found myself having to update a ton softwares so I could finally install the Mac App Store. Once it finished installing though I was never able to actually use it, as when I open the application it just says: "Cannot Connect to the App Store". I looked up online and people had similar problems, and none of the suggested solutions worked:
- Starting up the computer in "Safe Mode" did not work;
- Repairing all the permissions in the Disk Utility application did not work;
- Signing out and in the Mac App Store from the App Store application did not work;
- The problem is certainly not the internet connection because I was able to update my computer in the same connection, and I can regularly access it on my computer.
Does anyone have a tip to solve this problem?
Thank you very very much in advance!Thanks cpickrell but no, she is not using any firewall or antivirus program. Any other idea?

I purchased Lion but cannot connect to the app store. Any ideas?
Cannot connect to the App Store. I am on internet and Safari works just fine. Ideas?
I purchased Lion thru the app store and it was deducted from my account. I cannot download it. I can download other apps, but it seems like Lion is hung up or something. I restarted the iMac, have plenty of memory and space but when I hit download, it just says "waiting" then says cannot connect with the app store.
Thanks for any help. -

Try temporarily disabling your firewall and see if you are then able to access the iTunes store.

Safari cannot connect to the App Store so I can setup an RSS Reader.
Let me be clear about a key point first - I can connect to the iTunes Store in the program, I can connect to the App Store in the program, and Safari has no problem acting as a browser.
BUT, I want to use RSS feeds and this is where things fall down.
If the Podcasts app is installed then all XML links to RSS feeds default to being opened in the Podcasts app, and I wouldn't mind this if the Podcasts app could actually display RSS feeds, but it can't. No problem, I'll just remove the Podcasts app.
Now when I click on a link to an RSS feed, Safari gives me the following error,
Cannot Open Page
This is a link to an RSS feed. Would you like to search the App Store for apps that can display RSS feeds?
And my options are Cancel or Search.
I click Search, because when I find an RSS feed on a page I want to subscribe to I don't want to have that error again.
The App Store opens and I almost immediately get the error,
Cannot connect to iTunes Store
However, once I click the OK option, the App Store works fine. I can connect to the App Store.
So, I pick an RSS app anyway to install it. It downloads fine, and I go on browsing in Safari. I find another link to an RSS feed, and this pops up again,
Cannot Open Page
This is a link to an RSS feed. Would you like to search the App Store for apps that can display RSS feeds?
Excuse me? I've already installed an RSS app... and by now I've installed 5 different apps in the hopes that at least 1 of them will do what Podcasts obnoxiously did before and claim the default app status for XML links.
So, Safari works as a browser, the iTunes Store App works, and the App Store app works, but if Safari opens the App Store then I get an error. If I could somehow set which applications opened what links and document types then this wouldn't be a problem either because I could just manually set what I wanted, but I can't.
ಠ_ಠ
What the heck? Why was RSS ripped from Safari with nary a word, leaving in its place the pathetic Reading List function? Bookmarks are for reading later, RSS is for push to me updates, Reading List is just plain pointless and a waste of code. And why can't I set what programs I want to open what file types? /rant
I've already tried the Change Date trick, the Reset All Settings trick, the Turn Off Genius trick, and every other trick I could find where ever the phrase, "Cannot connect to itunes store" popped up in these forums and on the web, and none of them work - I suspect that this is because the App Store does work fine normally for me.
All I want is for Safari or an RSS program to open an RSS feed when I click on the link while browsing the web. Why is this so darn hard?Hi alèna,
