HT1689 When I update or install app on my iPad it says cannot connect to iTunes.

I have reset my iPad, changed the date to a year ahead and put it back and have checked the restrictions.
None of this has helped, what can I do?
I can go to the iTunes app and it shows everything, it's only when I want to install or update an app.

Some other things that you can try.
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 that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. But .... You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
Even though your Internet connection is working .... Sometimes rebooting your router can work for this. YMMV but it might be worth a try. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds, pliug it back in, let it start up completely and try again.
Or try this since you are running iOS 6 .....

  • Installed lion on iMac. Now our three iPhones and iPod can browse app store. But when we try to install we get an error that says cannot connect to iTunes. Same on wifi and AT

    I updated my iMac to lion and set up iCloud and icloud email so I could use pages app on my 4s as well as my Mac to work on documents.I was only able to log into my new iCloud mail account once. And never again. Even with security questions.  Purchased pages for Mac and 4s. After I set  up I cloud/ work everything went crazy. My apple Id quit working. My security questions would not accept my answers. So I set up a new apple account. The system allowed me to set it up using the same i.d.since then I have updated everything. The systems on a 4s, two 3gs's and an iPod touch I can browse the app store and iTunes but when I try to download or update anything it accepts my password and then says " Cannot connect to store" this happens all the time on the 3gs's and iPod and about 90 percent of the time on the 4s. It happens using wifi and or 3G data network. Also my Mac and the 3gs's are now super sluggish.

    Simple...

  • HT1689 Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?

    Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?

    Check to make sure you don't have your restrictions turned on, which may be preventing your access to iTunes.
    Tap on the settings icon, then tap General, then check to see if you have restrictions turned to ON.  If so turn it off.

  • My phone keep asking me to sign in to itunes store and will not allow me to download apps. it sends a message saying "Cannot connect to itunes store" what do i do?

    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.

    Reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
    Then restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work - 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If still no luck - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Cleartune has updates available, but I keep getting a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store"  all other updates work just fine?  The one app I paid for is the one that for some reason will not work.  How can I upgrade without buying it again?

    I loaded cleartune a while back, there are upgrades/updates available, which I'm trying to load.  When I choose update, it asks for my password, which I provide and I get a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store"  I have many other apps I've loaded and upgraded just fine.  However this one, the one I actually wanted bad enough to pay for, is wanting me to delete it and buy another copy.  How can I update Cleartune without buying it again? 

    Hi all,
    This is a very interesting situation. I did try to update one of my apps within itunes as was suggested. That worked !!
    But then I noticed that I had 2 different logins that I must have created over the years. I almost forgot. I have a apple ID and an AOL ID. It seems that I purchased (actually they are all free) some apps with one ID and other apps with the other ID. I must have done this by accident.
    So when I log out of one of the IDs on my Touch and then log in with the other ID, I can update the apps.
    It seems that something changed on Apple's servers. It seems that until recently I was able to update free apps regardless of what ID I originally bought them with. Now it seems that's not the case. Apple must check this now.
    Now that I know what the issue is, I'll make sure I use one ID all the time.
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • My 3GS will not let me in to iTunes or App store. It just says "Cannot connect to ITunes". This is not a password issue. Recenly updated. Tried resetting. (Been doing this since before last update).

    My 3GS will not let me login to iTunes or App store. It says "cannot connect to iTunes store".

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
    You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

  • HT4059 When I tap on the store on my iBooks it says cannot connect to iTunes, what is wrong?

    When I tap store on my iBooks it says cannot connect to iTunes, what is wrong?

    Hi Kath50OCD,
    Thanks for the question. When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following articles provide the best information:
    First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and sign back in.
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    - Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
    - Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    - Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
    - Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
    - Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
    - If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionsoriOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • When I click report a problem via my iTunes reciept on my iPad it says cannot connect to iTunes store. There are no Internet problems.

    I am trying to report a problem on an app I bought but when I click report a problem on my iTunes reciept it says cannot connect to iTunes, it is not my Internet connection everything else works fine on it. I have the 3rd generation iPad.

    Hi Aretasha,
    Try resetting your iPad - hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them until the Silver Apple appears. Once it is back up, try again. Also, make sure you are connected to Wifi or 3G....
    Cheers,

    Could be you are not connecting to the internet via wifi.

    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.
