IPad 2 "Cannot connect to iTunes Store."
I have a new iPad 2 (32 gig non-3G) and when I try to download an app from the App Store it takes me to the home screen and displays "Cannot connect to iTunes Store." My internet connection is fine and my iOS (5.0.1) is up to date. iTunes and the App Store open and seem to be connected.
I have tried turning off and then turning on the iPad and it will sometimes allow me to download and install apps but not always. The same is true for reconnecting to the network.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
I had the same problem with only my ipad 2 while my ipad 1 and iphone 4 would work perfectly in the same location. I don't know is something has changed at the apple end to make my ipad 2 connect again but this is what I did and things seem to be OK for me for now..
Try it out and see if it helps.
On the ipad 2 go to settings .. Store..On the right side touch the apple ID at the bottom of the right side
That will open your Apple ID with options like Vew Apple ID, Sign out and Iforgot.
Press Iforgot It takes you to a screen to enter your apple ID. Then Next and it sends you an email to rreset your password. I did not reset the password and the email is valid for only 3 hrs it seems. I just went back to using the ipad 2 as usual and something seems to have worked.
Let me know if this helps anyone else. I had this problem only after upgrading to ios 5.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Be sure you have a good WiFi signal!
Try reset modem/router (disconnect from power for some minutes)
Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen. -

We have an article that goes over troubleshooting for that issue. If you saw an alert message like "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error has occurred" on your iPad, or something similar, check out the bottom of the article titled "Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" for detailed steps:

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.

My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly. Even when i sign in and out.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?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. -

When I try to connect my IPad to ITunes store, I get a message "cannot connect to ITunes store".
Hello, Darktowerfan1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple articles that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

Cannot connect to iTunes Store iOS 6.1.3 iPad 3G
Since iOS 6.1.3 I'm not always able to update my Apps in the AppStore.
I receive the classic "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". I can see it is a time-out in a wrong route config or something.
My iPhone and iPad mini works fine.
I've tried reset network settings. Also I've tried to update over 3G (no WiFi) and this worked well (not for Apps >50Mb).
When I try to resume to update from WiFi (disable 3G) it still doesn't work.
Tried to kill the AppStore app, didn't work.
Anyone also having this problem?I saw a failed download in iTunes (iPad) and retried to download this song.
This went ok. Then back to the AppStore and whala it all works again.
Maybe it was an error with Apple, I don't know. -
I have done all the usual re boots on wifi and iPad, phone and so that is not the problem. I have 3 apps waiting to update bit they are stuck there, I cannot connect to iTunes Store and so you know I am not trying to connect to tunes! I am trying to update apps but cannot connect on either my iPad or iPhone. Changing the date does not work! Has anyone had this happen to them and if so how did you resolve it?
For those who are getting annoyed, I have found a solution which requires you to create a new apple ID without using credit card information:
1. Go the app store
2. Hit cancel when it asks you to sign in (If it doesn't, continue to step 3)
3. Find a free app and try to download it
4. you to sign in option will appear, it will ask you if you want to use existing ID or create a new apple id. SELECT CREATE NEW APPLE ID
5. Follow the steps and when it gets to the stage it asks you for your card info, Choose 'None'
6. Full in all you name and address etc... And click next.
7. Verify your email and Enjoy downloading FREE apps
8. Say thank you as I do appreciate your love :) -

hello! i am using ipad n i am not able to connect to itunes store.Whenever i open itunes it syas "cannot connect to itunes store".i tried resetting the network settings n also tried changing the dat and time settings as mentioned but it still doesnt work!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.
