HT1386 While trying to update an app I keep getting a "cannot connect with iTunes store"message

For some reason my iPad say I cannot connect with iTunes store while trying to update an app. I've tried all I know. Any suggestions?

I am getting the same message. This is what I did to update my apps.
Go to the App Store and search for one of the apps that needs an update. When the app appears in the search - there should be an Install button next to the app icon. Tap on it and see if the download will start. It worked for me.
After over two years of owning iPads and never having had this happen before -  this is happened to me twice now in the last two weeks. It's weird, but it happens.

    Try this  - 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 is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    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.

  • How get around "Cannot connect with iTunes Store" when updating apps?

    I have several Apps with updates indicated. When I select App Store, it goes to the updates but when I try to update, I get "Cannot connect with iTunes Store." But otherwise I can get to the iTunes Store itself. Where does "Report problem" appear? Not on my Touch (which is updated).

    Try it from the computer that you sync with, then sync the updated apps over to the iPod.

  • TS1398 I still can't update my apps. Continues to say cannot connect to ITunes store. Everything else using Internet works fine. How can I fix this?

    I need help. I cant update my apps because of I cannot connect to iTunes store. I have tried all suggestions with no success.  

    Ok, I found a solution that worked for me when trying to connect to the iTunes store by tapping the "update" button in the "App Store" app on my iPad 2. Before the solution was implemented I'd always get the error message "cannot connect to iTunes store". Once the solution was implemented I now can connect to iTunes using the "update" button in the "App Store" app and I get the normal message "All apps are up to date". The solution is this:  go into Settings, then General, then scroll to the bottom where it says Date and Time. Tap Date and Time and then turn OFF Set Automatically. When you do that a new option will be added that says Set Date and Time. Tap it. You'll now get a drop down feature. Set the Date AHEAD 2 YEARS. The Time you can leave alone.
    Once you do that you might get a bunch of reminders and messages that your apps and stuff haven't been updated in two years. Click cancel or close on each of those messages or reminders. Now go back into Settings, General, Date and Time, and turn Set Automatically back to ON. Reboot your iPad. Open the App Store app again and go to the Update button. It might ask you to log back in to your iTunes account. It should now work. If not, close the App Store app completely and open again and try the update button. Hope this helps.

  • HT4009 I keep getting "ERROR Cannot Connect to iTunes Store" when attempting an in-app purchase.

    I've been trying to complete an in-app purchase within the game "Nemo's Reef" for over a week and repeatedly get the same "ERROR Cannot Connect to iTunes Store"
    I've tried a real close for the app, restarting my device (iPhone 5), enabling and disabling restrictions - I DO NOT have in-app purchases restricted under settings-general - restrictions - in app purchases.
    I purchased a book in iBooks this morning - my card was charged and the item downloaded perfectly. I have tried the purchase on WiFi as well as Cellular but neither work. I've also tried turning off my WiFi completely, still doesn't work.

    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.

  • In App Purchase Error, ( Transaction Failed Cannot connect to iTunes Store)

    O.k. on my iPhone when I'm in an app I tried to purchase something and it won't let me by saying, Transaction Failed, Cannot Connect to iTunes Store.. But I'm able to use the same app on my iPod touch and I can purchase what I needed.... So can somebody help me figure out what the reason is behind it? Both the iPhone and the Ipod has the same account information and both uses the same computer to connect to iTunes.... So why does one work and the other doesn't? Also its an iPhone 3Gs...

    Although you may be using the same iTunes Account, things can get a little strange if you have different AppleID's for each device. On your device, check settings ==> Store. The AppleID for that device is listed there. It can be confusing because syncing to the same iTunes account is not the same as managing App and purchases through the iTunes Store Account.
    On your iTunes window the uppe right corner shows which AppleStore ID is logged in. If it turns out they are different, simply log out of the store on iTunes, and log in with the other account. Download the updates. Log out and then back in to the other account.
    As an alternative, download the updates on the device they were purchased. Sync to iTunes, and the updated download be transferred back to iTunes and available to the other devices syncing with iTunes.
    Or....... if your iPhone is Airplane Mode, turn that Airplane mode off and ignore everything from above.

  • Why am I getting 'cannot connect to iTunes store' message when going to App Store?

    I recently purchased a refurbished iPad 1 (iOS 5.0) from the Apple Store.  I've downloaded one free app from the App Store.  But today when I returned to the App Store, the following message displayed:  Cannot connect to iTunes store.
    I have an Apple ID which I can see via Settings.  The software is up-to-date (checked software update).  I can access the App Store via my iPod Touch.
    Any words of wisdom?  Thanks in advance.

    iPad 1 (iOS 5.0)
    Tap Settings > Store
    Make sure Apps is switched on under Automatic Downloads.
    If you download an app on one device it should automatically sync to the other providing they are both running iOS 5.

  • The Daily App -- "not logged in" and "cannot connect to itunes store"

    Hello,
    I subscribed to the Daily App for 1 year. It shows under my itunes subscription.
    Two problems: When I log into the daily app, I get "Can't connect to itunes store" 2 or 3 times. I can just hit ok and they'll go away.
    The second, and more annoying, is that when I do the crossword puzzle, I don't see anything on the leaderboard and at the bottom, below the puzzle, it says "not logged-in." But when I click the little settings thing, I am logged in. I'm able to comment on articles.
    Any ideas?
    I've rebooted, restored from backup, reinstalled the app.

    I have the same issue, I've tried the following and nothing has worked:
    I am running the newest version of The Daily, iTunes version 10.2.1, Mac OS 10.6.7 on my MBA and iPad 4.3.1. I've deleted The Daily from both the iPad 2 and the Mac, rebooted both and reinstalled with no luck, it still gave me the same error message that it could not connect to iTunes. I then did a full restore with no luck. I just completed erasing everything on the iPad, deleted all of the iPad apps from my MBA and set up the iPad as a new iPad not using anything from my old setup, still no luck. I am still getting the same error message: "iTunes Error Cannot connect to iTunes".
    When I go into account Information it does not recognize my email and password even though I reset it in iTunes. Everything else on the iPad works with that email and password including all the other paid apps I reinstalled trying to fix this issue.
    PLEASE HELP

  • Trying to update an app, I keep getting an error message.

    Trying to update an app in the App Store, I keep getting the following message:  The application could not be downloaded.  "Uberstrike.app" couldn't be moved to "Applications".
    I've tried to update the app three times and keep getting the same message. Other updates don't give me this problem. Any ideas as to how to resolve the problem?

    Hi...
    When you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed.
    If you are running v10.6.8 Snow Leopard try the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    If you are running v10.7 Lion, try the OS X Lion Update 10.7.2 Client Combo
    Either one of those combos reinstalls the App Store for you which may help.
