"invalid argument" error message when connecting to the App store after upgrading iphone 4 to 5.0 firmware

Hi everyone,
I have seen many topics about this problem but none of them helped and they seem to date a little bit so I would like to ask again.
here is the situation :
we have two iphone 4 in the house and everything was going fine until we did the update to the new 5.0 firmware. there was no problem while the update had only been applied to the first iphone... but after updating the second one, we now have the same problem on both iphones. We can still connect to the internet from the iphone just fine but the connection is erratic at best with the itunes store because we keep getting cut by this dreaded error message "connection to the itunes store impossible, "invalid argument" occasionnally we'd get a different message that says "connection reset by peer"
- what is invalid argument mean anyway???
- I have tried to renew the lease in the network settings, it didn't work
- I have tried to reset the network setting, it didn't help
- I have checked in the network setting for the IP address, it starts with 192.xx.xx..... which is supposed to be a good thing as opposed to 162.xx.xx....
- I have reset my router, nothing happened...
- I have tried unauthorising my computer to any accounts because we were afraid that using two iphones with two different itunes store accounts one the same computer may have caused these problems.. but no luck
I am running out of ideas, I would like to renew my frustration to apple because we buy these expensive products and still seem to suffers from stupid bugs... I was under the impression that these things were tested !!! anyway if anyone has found a definitive solution to this problem (short of burning your iphone out of anger) it would be deeply appreciated.
thx

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?

Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

TS3297 Error message: 'Cant connect to the itunes store. An unknown error occured (-3212) please check you have an active internet connection and try again'. Help !

Can someone help me please ? I was using itunes (downloading albums etc) just half an hour ago. I had a pop up asking me if i'd like to download the latest version of itunes, which i accepted. When the update had finshed downloading, i then restarted my computer, as i usually would. Tried to re access the itunes store, and received the following error message: 'Cant connect to the itunes store. An unknown error occurred (-3212) please check you have an active internet connection and try again.
Needless to say, i have an active internet connection and cant see any reason why this would be happening, it has never happened before ?
Any help would be appreciated.

HT1688 My husband's iphone can't connect to the App store after he updated to ios.7. He updated it yesterday and he has had problems since. He gets a message that the iphone can't connect to the app store and he has internet connection. Please help.

My husband's iphone can't connect to the app store after updated his phone to ios.7. and has internet connection.

Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S. Your problem is most likely not related to iOS 6, but you should probably update anyway.

My iPad cannot connect to the app store but my iPhone can, what do I need to do?

My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps but my iPhone4s can. They were both recently updated to ios6. Whats wrong with this thing?

So you are saying that after you updated several apps - now you cannot connect to the iTunes or App Stores?
"My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps"
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
Or try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
Or this ...
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.

Cannot connect to the App Store since upgrading to Mountain Lion.

I downloaded through the App Store Mountain Lion. Everything is working great except that the App Store app. I keep getting "Cannot connect to the App Store" error message. Is it possible that it's still too much traffic on the servers or a bug in Mountain Lion? App Store worked fine before obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get Mountain Lion. I tried trashing the plist and cache.db several times and still no go. Anybody else have this problem? Help!

This seems to be a bug in the OS. After days looking for an answer, I found one that will probably help those of you that, like me, tried just about everything else that has been suggested in the forums:
http://b.rthr.me/wp/?p=356
I came back to this forum, being one of the latest dealing with this issue, to share this. If it works for you then please do what I did and share it in some other forum on this issue to spread the word.
Apple please fix this bug in the OS !!!

Why can't I update/ download apps from the app store after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3?

I have an iphone 5 and updated my phone to the lastest version (ios 7.0.3) last night. I can't download/ update any apps from the app store using my cellular network. The only error message is that the app cant be downloaded at this time. As soon as I click the download button, the image of the icon shows up with "Waiting" underneath the icon. I tried tapping on the app icon to pause the download but that isn't working. I have disabled Wi-Fi setting and enabled"the use cellular data" option in the itunes and app store setting page. Memory is not an issue because I have a lot of memory available. In the cellular setting page the App Store is enabled to use cellular data. It seems like it is a setting issue. What can be done to fix this problem

Thanks for your suggestion. Not long ago before I saw your response I tried to download the app and I seemed to have some progress (I had 5 bars and 1x). It looked it was 3/4 of the download complete only to have the same error message.
Since then I reset the phone and I have tried downloading the app when there 5 bars with 3g. Every time the icon has waiting underneath it and I get the same error message.

I am having trouble in the app store after upgrading to iPhone 5 and iOS 6

I am having trouble since upgrading from iPhone 4s to iPhone 5. The "restore" feature never completed after activation of the new phone (it was close, only "find my iphone" app did not complete - it looked like it is forever trying to download). But now, when I have tried to update apps, or even purchase new (free or paid) apps, the store does not let me. It flashes error messages on my screen so quickly they cannot be read (the first is something about signing in to the store with an apple ID). I have seen other similar threads and have tried logging out and into the app store from the settings menu.
I also cannot get any of my music to transfer to the iPhone (from the icloud). It seems to be trying to but I just get the spinning wheel of death.
Any thoughts or help out there would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello there, Missy.
First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
