IBooks says that it cannot connect to the iTunes store?
iBooks cannot connect to the iTunes store? If I go to iTunes, it will connect to the store. Any ideas?
This could be caused by several things. Please provide more details on how you are connecting to iTunes, i.e. WiFi or 3G. If WiFi is it your own home connection or a public one?
For example at work there is no real reason for me to connect my iPhone to the company WiFi because they have nearly everything blocked; iTunes, gmail, aol mail, yahoo mail, FaceBook, Twitter. Basically any of the Fun web sites. So if I feel the need to update an app while I'm at work I need to wait for lunch go down to the lobby and use the Starbucks WiFi Connection.
But if you are just having a problem connecting to iTunes you might try resetting your network connections, Settings => General => (Scroll to bottom) Reset => Reset Network Settings, wait for phone to restart and connect to the network.
This will just disconnect and reconnect you from your 3G provider and clear out all the junk that has built up in the network buffers. You will have to reenter your WiFi Passwords when you try to reconnect to them but you should have a cleaner connection.
You can also try restarting your phone. Press and HOLD both the Home button and the Power button on the top of the phone at the same time for about 10 - 20 seconds. When the Slide to Power Off screen appears CONTINUE to hold the buttons down. The screen will go black and then the apple logo should appear. When the logo appears release both buttons and wait for the phone to restart and reconnect to the network.
A quick option (Although not as effective as doing a Network Reset) is to turn on Airplan Mode, wait 15 seconds and turn it off. This breaks the connection with your network provider and then starts it up again. It just doesn't clean out all the stuff in the buffers, but you may get a better internet connection.

I get a message that my ipad 2 and iphone 5 cannot connect to the itunes store when I try to sync a book to my book app. Although, when I click "store" both are able to access the itunes store. Why is this? Also I tried to open a book that was synced and a message that I did not have enough memory to load this book popped up--when I know that I have well over 40gb of memory left in my ipad and over 16gb left in my iphone. The message that I cannot connect to the itunes store is strange that it offers no option and I have to hit OK to get out and use my ipad or iphone.
Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and changing the date to a few months (or maybe a year or two) in the future and then re-trying -

My new phone is showing five bars and is connected to wifi but it keeps telling me that I cannot connect to iTunes Store???
Just because there are bars showing doesn't mean you are connected to the Internet. When you try going to the iTunes store, does the error message say anything about not connected to the Internet. If so, that's the problem. However, if you can successfully get to a web site in safari, then you do have a connection. In this case, are you sure you are using the right ID and password for the store?

I cannot make an in-app purchase of gems in War of Clans. I keep getting the message that I "cannot connect to ITunes store." I have followed the help message in the in-game settings a number of times, to no avail. I can connect to the Store in every other area of my IPad. Suggestions please? Thanks!

I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased a film. We're going on a flight soon and would ideally like to watch one on the plane. Can someone please provide some step by step instructions. Thanks.
Rented or purchased video are watched through the videos app after you have downloaded them, iTunes on iOS devices is for buying media only.

Can somebody help me in finding a solution or an explanation to the problem I am currently experiencing as well as others wherein we cannot connect to the iTunes store. An error message appears and either says "iTunes could not connect to the store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004). Make sure your network connection is active and try again" or "iTunes could not connect to the store.Make sure your network connection is active and try again." Despite the fact that my network connection is working quite fine, this problem still persists. I can say that my connection is fine because I can surf the internet and furthermore, I used to connect to the iTunes store just before this incident happened which started from April 17, 2014 and persists until today. I tried to solve the problem by following the troubleshoot procedures given in the support section of this site but it really did not solve the problem. I believe that others are experiencing this situation as well very similar to mine when it comes to the time of occurrence as I have read in the discussions in this site. Even though we have different network connections, operating systems and other specifications, we still experience the same problem, so is there really a problem with our computers or is it with the iTunes? And by the way, my computer works under Windows XP. Thanks a lot. God bless.
Try this...
Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
cmd /k netsh winsock reset
Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
You should get something similar to this:
Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

"Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" when using WiFi and Cisco VPN
hi
I'm on iPhone software 2.0 and have a connection to the internet via WiFi and VPN (using the integrated Cisco client). Everything works fine (Safari, Mail, mobileme push of contacts and calendars) but the iTunes Store and the App Store won't. While the App Store keeps spinning the iTunes Store says "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store". Has anyone else experienced a similar phenomenon?
thanks
Message was edited by: samakiWe're having the same issue. App Store and iTunes do not work when all traffic is tunneled over VPN. Yet, other applications like Safari, New York Times reader, Telnet, etc... work perfectly fine over VPN. If we have the iPhone switch over to using split tunneling VPN mode, then the App Store and iTunes work since they do not appear to be sending traffic over the VPN tunnel. I can say for certain that no outgoing traffic is being blocked on the VPN servers since I administer those servers. I also did a packet capture on the iPhone wireless session and it appears that the App Store sends traffic over the regular HTTP port. So it really doesn't make any sense from a VPN perspective why Safari would work but not the App Store or iTunes when you're tunneling all traffic over VPN. Our iPhones are using the latest firmware (5F136). If anyone has any update, please do share.

I can't get any updates or download any new apps from iTunes because I "cannot connect to the iTunes Store" or sometimes it says server. I have no trouble getting my email or surfing the Internet, so it is a problem specific to accessing iTunes. Incredibly frustrated! Please help!
Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - 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 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.
