How can I connect to itunes store when error message -54 prevents connection?

The error message -54 is not defined properly or sufficiently, to attempt specific troubleshooting by the the user (not user friendly). Does anyone in the community have any experience with this error message? If so, how did you solve the issue? I suspect the impending migration to iCloud may hold the answer.

Hi KimberlyWI,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If you're not able to access the iTunes Store, I would suggest part of this article:

Specifically, see "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows)" for troubleshooting steps.
Cheers,

    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.

    You need to have a data connection. Tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then in Settings App make sure Data is ON, or if you want make sure WiFi is ON.

  • Getting message Can not connect to iTunes Store when updating apps

    I'm getting the message can not connect to iTunes Store when trying to update apps. I have tried troubleshooting in every way possible. Help please

    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.

    How do I fix this on my iPhone 4S?

    Same phone and ios, same problem. Worked just fine for me Sunday, but nothing today, all day. As a workaround I found I can still connect using iTunes on my Macbook Pro, the I synch my iPhone. There are way too many people with the same problem for it to be anything but Apples problem. Hope this helps.

  • My IPad says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when I try to update

    My IPad says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when I try to update apps.  How can I resolve this?

    I had the same problem and tried absolutely everything...on my own and stuff I'd read on-line.  Nothing worked.  What finally did was this.  I held down an app until all started jiggling.  Then I deleted one of the ones that needed updating.  Then pushed the round button at the bottom of the iPad to stop the movement.  Then went to the "Featured" section of the App Store.  In the search box (top right corner) I typed in the name of the app I'd just deleted.  When it pulled up, I chose "Install".  Worked perfectly.  I went through this process, one-by-one, until I got all of them done.  Now, everything is updated. 
    Sure hope this helps you and hope this isn't the new norm for how to do updates.  I used to just select "Update All", entered my password, and the updates started happening.

  • How can I stop my iTunes Store purchases automatically going onto my iPhone?

    How can I stop my iTunes Store purchases automatically going onto my iPhone?
    I've downloaded several thing, including Christmas songs, but do not want them on my iPhone anymore - but no matter what I do, every time I sync my phone, all my purchases revert back to the old names (purchased names, ie. "The Blue - EP" when I have renamed them to "The Blue") and then come up on my iPhone. Despire finding the song on my phone, swipping it to delete, it'll reappear later on.
    I have also set up that only songs in a created playlist are to be on my iPhone, (these songs are not on it), yet they always appear.
    How can I ensure the downloaded files DO NOT change names and stop going onto my iPhone every time I sync up?
    Thank you.

    It looks like you're trying to play a track bought from the iTunes store (or does it happen with other songs too?). Make sure you are logged in with the account the track was bought with.

  • HT1222 I get a "cannot connect to iTunes store"when I try to retrieve updates on my iPad 2.

    I get a "Cannot connect to iTunes Store"whenI try to update my Apps from the Apps icon. I am more than totally clueless.  Help please.

    Try rebooting your router first. Unplug it for 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Reboot your iPad as well.
    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.
    If you still can't connect to the iTunes store, look here for help.

  • My ipad2 says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when updating apps

    My iPad2 says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when updating apps.  Connects properly when buying apps or music - only problem is when updating.   I have tried all the suggestions that I have found:  soft reset, ensuring that restrictions, changing my apple account password, turning on automatic downloads.
    Any ideas?  Thanks much.

    Same here. I have an iPad2, IOS5 WiFi and the iPad can not connect to iTunes store from Videos and Itunes App.
    App Sore is OK, and Safari also where connection is ok.
    My computer, Windows 7/64 connects via iTunes utility ok.
    I upgraded to IOS5 the same day as I got the iPad2, and I am not sure if it worked before.
    Any solutions to this problem ?
    It looks like that many other users have similar problem.
