IO6/iPhone5: Why do all of my apps try to connect to the iTunes store?

When I click on either of the apps I've so far installed on my iPhone5, one for my carrier (Three) and one for roaming WiFi (BT), I can receive the "Cannot Connect to the iTunes Store" error when the wifi bug is present. Both of these apps are free, and both have nothing to do with subscribing to any content on iTunes. Is this some core functionality, where iTunes is "pinged" when apps run?

Reboot your phone. You can power it down by holding the power button for 5 seconds or until you see the red slider that says "Power down". If this doesn't happen then force it to shut down by holding the power and home button down simultaneously for 8 seconds.
Rebooting usually takes care of it for me. This occasionally happens when some (non-Apple) application left the phone in an unstable state.

  • When installing apps I cannot connect to the iTunes store

    iTunes is up to date...I am trying to install a new app and update others and the error message I receive is "cannot connect to the iTunes store"... My Internet is working (I can browse in safari) ...any ideas?
    Thanx!

    Apple has a support article that talks about this issue here.
    Can't connect to the iTunes store
    Have you tried restarting the iPad and then try again?
    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.

  • TS1368 Why can't I connect to the iTunes Store on my ipad3

    I am trying to download apps from the App Store and it won't let me by saying 'cannot connect to the iTunes store'.
    Why is this and will apple fix this apparent problem with Ios6

    perfect, thanks.
    When I try to connect to the itunes store, it says 'accessing itunes store' and just hangs there.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

  • After I open itune i then try to access either the itune store or the app store i get a message saying "ITunes has stopped working"

    After I open ITunes if I try to connect to the ITunes store or the App Store i get an error message.
    It reads
    "ITunes Has Stopped Working"
    "A problem caused the priogram to stop workin correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available"
    I have rebooted, made sure I am up to date with itunes version and windows but it still wont work. My internet connection is fine
    How do I reestablish contact with the ITunes store?

    Hello. Have you tried using Safe Mode yet? For PC hold F8 on startup and select Safe Mode from Advanced Boot options screen. Also try reinstalling iTunes. Also open up the error console (wherever that might be; I'm a Mac person) and post the error that is causing it to quit. Hope it works!

  • I get a message that my ipad and iphone cannot connect to the iTunes store. I have tried to sync books to my iPad and iphone and i get the message that I cannot connect to the iTunes store and thus cannot sync a book to my books app. Why?

    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

  • 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

    You will need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Your profile indicates your Mac is running v10.7.2
    If that is correct, updating your system software may help.
    Click Software Update from the Apple menu.
    Restart your Mac after updates are installed then try the App Store.
    If you can't update that way, there's a workaround.
    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
    Then restart your Mac and try the App Store.

    I've been having this problem for weeks and have found no solution to it. There are lots of other people with this issue too if you look back on the boards. I even e-mailed AND called Apple and have had no luck. I tried all the suggestions they gave me and all the ones I found on here- nothing worked. I even uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (boy was that a pain!) and no difference.
    The weird part is that I have an old laptop that works and if I buy music with the laptop I can download it with my regular computer buy buying does not work on my regular computer. That tells me it's not a connection issue. I can't get to my account either.
    I can't figure out why an issue that has kept so many people from purchasing a product has been ignored!

  • TS1398 Why can I still connect to the internet, but I can no longer connect to the iTunes store?

    My family recently gave me an iPad for Mother's Day. It's been really awesome, but suddenly today I began getting an error: "Cannot connect to iTunes Store."
    The process looks great right up to the download. Then, after the icon appears with the status bar, just before you would expect the status bar to start filling out...BAM, error!
    I can connect to the internet just fine. I am able to sync via WiFi without trouble. I'm pretty sure I have tried all the troubleshooting on-and-offs. I even did a restore.
    Am I missing something? Why would it work fine one minute and get all quirky the next?
    Help me Obi-wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.

    Could be you are not connecting to the internet via wifi.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Dear
    I have this question around 1 week before I make the decision to upgrade my Ipad2 to the new version iOS 5 , however, the problem is same , I can not connect to ITUNES store
    I had tried all of the method you have presented that posted at Internet but no result
    I decided to return to i studio to ask them the reason, but when I gave my IPad to the staff, he just put his wifi password, then the iPad can work as ussually , then he told me maybe my Internet problem, but I can connect to surb my web, I can do everything except to connect the iTunes.
    Then after I call to the wifi provider company, they ask me o set up all the proxy then now I can connect to iTunes store as normally.
    Hope will help you
