IBooks cannot connect to iTunes Store

None of the responses to this question have ever been helpful... I have tried all kinds of things to fix tis problem. Because iBooks cannot communicate with iTunes for some reason (even though I can open the iTunes Store app just fine.) all of the books I try to download get stuck at like 75% and then when I close the app and reopen they are back at 0% and every time I try to redo the download that annoying message comes up (cannot connect to iTunes Store) at which time I can immediately go to iTunes store just fine with the app.
I have tried killing and reopening all of my processes (double tapping home button), resetting all network settings, restarting iPad, resetting Wi Fi, checking the time zone, and pretty much everything on that list made to troubleshoot iTunes trouble. So please don't be lazy and refer me to that list again or blame it on my internet, because it works just fine. Please give me something helpful. Sorry if this comes across as rude, but I am fed up with how many people have had this issue and how Apple hasn't even tried to solve it. I have iPad mini iOS 7.1.2

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 much Available storage space do you have? The space may not be sufficient for the size of the download. To check, go to Settings>General>About>Available Are you trying to download one book or multiple books at one time?

  • 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.

  • IPad app store message "Cannot connect to iTunes store"

    Recently my iPad (wifi) & my husband's iPhone (AT&T)have been unable to connect to the app store or iTunes. We get the message "cannot connect to iTunes store". The only thing that I have done recently is download a kindle book & add a Bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard was never paired with the iPhone so I don't think that could be the issue. The iPad & iPhone have both been updated, but that hasn't resolved the issue. There was no problem connecting to iTunes through the PC to run the update. Why would both devices suddenly have the same problem? One is wifi & one is 3G so it's not the connection. They have nothing in common except the error. Any help would be appreiciated since this is getting frustrating. Thanks!

    Hi, Thank you!  I did as you suggested but it didn't work.  So, this time I cleared all apps out of the tray, signed out of my account at the store, and did a hard reboot.  Then on my desktop I signed out of my account in iTunes and then synced.  I have signed back into the store on the iPad but still get the same message.

  • Itunes cannot connect to iTunes store error 306

    Hi, I think I originally posted this on the wrong forum. So I will repost and hope for the best.
    Up until recently I used to connect to the internet via airport and everything worked fine. I could connect to iTunes store no problem.
    The connection was all set up by the local phone company and somehow they connected the iMac to airport via a modem.
    I know that this appears to defeat the point of airport but it worked fine.
    I had connection problems with the modem (it was old and needed replaced) that was attached to the airport and iMac. I arranged for the telephone company to come and replace the modem. However, although they replaced the modem and the internet connection is fine.
    What they did not do was to reconnect the Airport device and now I cannot connect with iTunes store. Now instead of connecting to the internet via the Airport connection I now connect via Ethernet
    The error message I get is
    "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occured (306).
    Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
    I think that if someone could advise how I stop trying to connect to the iTunes store via Airport but via an Ethernet connection
    iMac intel Mac OS X (10.6.6)

    iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
    Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
    To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings  ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1490 ) and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
    To reset iTunes Store cache:
    In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the "Reset cache" button.
    Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
    Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
    Open iTunes.
    Access iTunes preferences:
    On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Parental Controls tab.
    Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
    For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.

  • Cannot connect to itunes store before and after update ios 8.2,  What can i do ?

    I updated to iOS 8.2 about 2 hours age and I get an error saying "cannot connect to iTunes Store" every time I try to update existing apps or download new apps. I restarted my phone, disconnected from wifi, reconnected to wifi...nothing is working. Under iTunes & App Store settings, I signed out and now get the "cannot connect to iTunes Store" message when trying to sign back in. I know my Apple ID and password are correct.

    Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
    Do not change your settings.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Get message on iPhone 4S, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store." How can I access the iTunes Store?

    I get a Message on iPhone 4S, "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store." How can I access iTunes Store?  Yes,  I am WiFi connected.

    Well folks I finally got my "can't connect to iTunes" issues fixed. Seems that there was an unauthorized change to my email address and account therefore not allowing mr to connect to iTunes.
    Here is how I got it fixed.
    1. Contacted iTunes store support
    2. Followed their instructions and replyed with the following info:
    An order number from one of my purchases
    Last 4 digits of the c.c. Used for the iTunes store acct
    Answer to one of my security questions
    And 2 items from this list.
    Birthdate
    Billing address for Acct
    Phone number on acct
    It was after all of this that they saw that someone had made an account modification back in February when the issue began. Seems they changed my email address just slightly and that is what kept me from being able to sign in and not a password issue. This was likely due to a phishing email that came out in conjunction with iCloud asking users to change their passwords to a more secure form by adding a capital and number.
    To get all of this cleared up it took about 4 days as we emailed back and forth. I also needed a seperate email address they could use to send me info. Once they determined the issues and went to get them fixed by changing the email address associated with the acct and I created a new password I was able to access iTunes with no issues and even my previously thought lost acct balance was there.
    Hope this helps
