I'm trying to download an app on the "new i pad" from the app store, but I get a message saying "cannot connect to the i tunes store.  My wireless network is up and running.  What gives?

I'm trying to download an app from app store but get a message saying cannot connect to i tunes store--my wireless network  is working.  What gives?

This issue is cropping up everywhere on the iPad site, leading me to believe that it is an iTunes server glitch. I am able to connect without issue in the northeast U.S.
You can try this ....
Settings>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.
Sign in and try again.

  • I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later.  But I have version 8.1.2.  I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.

    I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later.  But I have version 8.1.2.  I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.

    Sounds like an issue with the iPhoto Library
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • 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

  • After upgrading to OS 10.8, my Mac App Store is not working. It says: Cannot Connect To The App Store

    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).

  • I have rented a film on iTunes using my iPad but when it reaches the download stage I get an error message saying cannot connect to the server.

    Error regarding server connection problems when trying to download rented film on my ipad

    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.
