Hi Williamo18,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it is frustrating when you cannot connect to the iTunes Store. In this situation I would recommend the steps in the attached article to help you resolve this.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that 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 persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Have a great day,
Joe

    Don't worry a lot of people, including me, are having this problem.  I think it's a problem going on at Apple's end, hopefully it will be up soon.

    Have you tried contacting iTunes Support and asking them ? We are fellow users here on these forums, it could be due to a number of reasons, we won't know which one.

  • I get an error that says can't connect to the itunes store when I search for a specific artist only

    Hi all,
    When I try to search for music by a specific artist in the iTunes store on my iPhone 5, I get an error that says "Can't connect to the iTunes store".  This only happens when I search for music by this band.  I can search for other artists and listen to song clips and everything seems to be connecting to the iTunes store just fine.  But for some reason, it doesn't work with this artist.  The band name is July for Kings.  Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but I hope so!
    Thanks,
    Rick

    IF you are not able to resolve your issue then contact Apple Support at https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.do?caller=ikb&PRKEYS=PL220,1316 29,PL113,PL302,PF3,PF4,PF9,PL303,PL339,p…
    hopefully they can help. You may also be interested to know that for some reason it is just not available to a lot of people at the same time. Appears to be an issue of more users than their servers can handle. Has happened periodically for at least 6 months that I know of but apparently users are able to use within several days if there are no other issues with the users device.

  • I keep getting the message to contact the iTunes store when I try to make a purchase.  Why does this always happen?

    I keep getting the message to contact iTunes support when I try to make a purchase, and I can't log in to see my purchase history.  I also think that when I get this error message, my account is still getting billed. How do I fix this problem?

  • My Ipod Touch (v 4.2.1) wont connect to the itunes store when i try to download or update something, and when i try to connect on say my facebook app it comes up with error -1202. help?

    I can connect on my computer to the itunes store and it has nothing to do with my wifi! help?

    I'm guessing you've got iPod touch 2nd generation
    iPod touch 2nd generation only goes up to 4.2.1, so you'll need a newer generation...
    iPod touch 3rd generation only goes up to 5.1.1
    4th and 5th generation both go up to iOS 6.1.3, wich is the current latest version.
    Hope this helps

  • Why does Safari keep saying "it can't connect to the server" every time I try to access any sites?

    I have the latest safari update for os x, which was working perfectly fine up until 3 days ago. Everytime I would try to access any site, safari would tell me it couldn't connect to the server, and I would have to refresh the page at least 5-10 times until I can access the site. I checked my internet, and it seems to be running perfectly. I also tried using Chrome and it had no problems accessing sites, too, so I know it's not my internet. :/
    Is anyone else having the same problems?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Can not connect to the iTunes store

    I was trying to download an app to my iPad and after about 3 minutes of trying, I get an error that says can not connect to the iTunes store. I try restarting and get the same thing. I try logging out, and now I can't log back in. I get the same error on my iPhone. Is anyone else having a similar issue?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Why can't I buy an In-APP purchase? It says that I can not connect to the iTunes Store and that I will have to contact iTunes Store Support.

    Hey everyone
    With my iPhone 4S I purchased the NAVIGON Europe App, downloaded needed files and maps within the App and all worked fine. But when I try to buy certain add-ons via In-App purchase I get a window telling me that it can'T connect to the iTunes store and that I have to contact iTunes store support.
    This is what I have already tried to make it work:
    Reset my iphone via iTunes (set it up as new iPhone)
    Changed itunes store payment option from Click&Buy to credit card
    restarted iPhone several times
    scratched my head
    checked restrictions under settings in iPhone: all is correct; in-App purchases allowed
    chewed my lip
    finally sent a message to the itunes store support.. waiting for their answer
    no changes so far. I still get the same error message.
    Any ideas?
    hugs

  • HT5113 "Invalid code error" and "can't connect to the iTunes Store." Any suggestions?

    I keep getting an "invalid code error" when trying to preview a course with the enroll code. When I click on the link to the course, I get an error that says "can't connect to the iTunes Store." Any suggestions?
    I tried previewing a test course I made about a year ago. I was able to request access to the course, went into Course Manager and approved it, but hours later it still says awaiting approval on my iPad.
    Any ideas as to what could be going on, aside from a cruel April Fool's joke?
    Thanks.

    How about trying to sign out of your account on the iPad, restart the iPad, sign back into the account and then try again?
    Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap on your ID and sign out - restart - go back - sign in.
    Other than going through the support article - if you haven't already done so - the only other thing I can think of is to reset/reboot the iPad. That can clear the memory and it does help solve a lot of "hinky" issues.
    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.

  • Vista..Can't connect to the iTunes store... Could before, but not now...

    I recently had a problem with not being able to connect to the iTunes store on Vista. I was able to connect, and then all of a sudden one day it wouldn't connect. When I tried to go to the iTunes store it would give me the box that is the same as the one you see in a web browser when you click on a link to iTunes that says "One moment Please, Connecting to the iTunes store...". Only it was in iTunes and wouldn't go to the store. It just sat there saying "Loading...".
    After going to the powers that be at Apple/Support to no avail, I googled it and found this.
    1. Close iTunes.
    2. Delete the iTunesPrefs.xml file from C:\Users\+user name+\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes.
    3. Delete the iTunesPrefs.xml file from C:\Users\+user name+\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes.
    4. Launch iTunes & follow the setup prompts
    This will make it like it's the first time you have used iTunes and may import duplicates you have in WMP, so unchceck this option when you come to it. You will not lose any of the music in your iTunes library, just the annoying connection problem. I hope this helps someone!!

    Couple of things to try:
    Allow itunes and itunes helper in your AV/Security software firewall (not just in the windows firewall)
    You diagnostics show that you are using a proxy, can you change this?

    I don't believe that this is just a coincidence that more than one person is having this problem,
    And I don't think that it is some conspiracy put together by Apple to tick people off. Obviously Apple wants you to be able to connect to the iTumes store so that they can line their pockets with even more money from lots and lots of app purchases.
    If you were to spend any time on this site you would find that this is a recurring problem for a very small number of users. If there are 10,000 people on this site - all complaining of the same issue, that is still a minuscule percentage of all iDevice users.
    You are upset and frustrated and I understand that. I don't think it's a coincidence either, but rather a random number of users that all have the same issue. You are noticing it now, because you came here looking for a solution. Apple even has a support article that talks about how to deal with the issue so even they realize that users can have the problem from time to time.
