IPad lost my setting and can't connect to app store?

What has happened?  This morning when I got my iPad (on its first birthday!), it had lost a bunch of my settings - my wallpapers, my sound settings, my wifi settings (argh, just realized what a pain that will be to reinput every password for everywhere I go...), had readded the bookmarks I had deleted like Bing, and possibly more.  I fixed most of those, but there's still another issue.  It knew my Apple ID, but now I can't get it to connect to the App Store.  I tried logging off my Apple ID in settings then rebooting and then logging back on, but no dice.
I see there seem to be a number of threads in the last month with this issue, but I never saw one with the solution.  Anyone know what to do?  TIA!

Hi Ave22,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that situations like this can be very frustrating. In this situation I would recommend signing out of the iTunes & App Store under Settings > iTunes & App Store, restarting your iPhone, and signing back into the iTunes & App Store. Please use the attached article for information on how to complete this process. 
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Cheers,

    Back up all data.
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
              8.8.8.8
              8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
    In Safari, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
    Notes:
    1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the  Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
    2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

  • HT1933 I have tried everything including reseting my iPhone but still can't connect to App Store, and it's been over a week now! Totally annoyed now!!

    I have tried everything including reseting my iPhone5c but still can't connect to App Store, and it's been over a week now! Totally annoyed now!! I'm not sure if it started after I updated my iOS cos I was able to update a few other apps. I just can't connect to neither apps store nor iTunes! I need help else I'd boil this phone alive!

    Hello IamJudekow,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with connecting to the App Store on your iPhone 5c.  I found a couple of articles I recommend for this issue.
    First, I recommend using the steps in the section titled “Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch” in the following article (the article title refers to the iTunes Store, but the steps are relevant for the App Store as well):
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    If the issue persists after following the steps in that section, I recommend continuing with the steps in the section titled “Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)” in the article below:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Can sign in with Apple ID, but can't connect to App Store for updates

    My wife just received her new iPad on Friday. When she went to update the apps that indicated they needed to be updated, she was able to sign in with her Apple ID. However, after a few seconds of processing the message appears that her iPad was unable to connect to the App store. (She was connected to the internet through WiFi). The next day at the Apple Store, the same thing happened as well as to other users, including those at the Genius Bar so we are not alone. Any insights? We thought that by the end of the weekend the issue may have been resolved (high traffic / server overload???) but still locked out of the App store.

    OK so here is what seems to be the problem -- Apps and under which account they were purchased / downloaded. My wife had downloaded a slew of apps under my Apple ID in the past, so when she attempted to sign in with her Apple ID there is now a conflict (this was not an issue before iOS 5.1 or so it seems). This simple fact totally prevents access to the App Store. This explains why my iPhone could connect to the App Store (it only has apps downloaded with my Apple ID) and hers could not.
    So we sat down and made a list of all of the apps on her iPhone and iPad (the ones she wanted to keep), then went into iTunes and clicked on APPS (under Library in the left column). Once you are in there, a list of apps installed appears. Right click (option-click) on each app icon to GET INFO -- this displays which Apple ID account was used to download that particular app. (Thanks Rysz)
    Thankfully all of the apps that were causing the conflict were free, so it was simply a matter of deleting these particular apps off of iTunes (on her iMac -- right click to delete) as well as her iPhone and iPad. Then all you need to do is re-download them when she is signed back into the App Store with her Apple ID.
    After I deleted all of the apps, I again tried to sign in to the App Store to re-download the apps she wanted to replace. But I was still getting the dreaded error message stating "Can't Connect to App Store". So on her iPhone I went to Settings and reset the network connection, signed back in to our Airport WiFi network. Tried again, no luck. Signed out of the App store and re-signed in, and glory hallelujah -- I was now able to access the App Store and start the download process for both the iPad and iPhone (thanks Thom_D for the suggestion).
    Once everything was back to normal, plugged each device in separately to her iMac and resynced in iTunes. Knock on wood, I think it is now working like before.
    Hope this helps a fellow user out there.

  • New ML can't connect to APP Store!

    I just updated to Mountain Lion.
    And now I can't connect to APP Store,can't sign in iCloud,iMessage...
    Even Safari is not working,just like no network.
    But I'm sure my network is working.
    What's problems with ML?????

    Hi. Just FYI my name is Joe. I put my fathers name when I got the account years ago and don't know how to change it.
    Anyhow it just started working on its own yesterday. I didn't do anything.
    I don't know what you mean about before my new iPad. I have had an iPod touch 2nd gen. iPhone 4s few weeks ago that I took back. Long time ago I had the original iPad. Now I have the iPod touch 4th gen before the new iPad by a few days. Then I got the new iPad 8am at frys electronics near me right when they opened Friday when the new iPad went on sale.
    Got there 10 minutes before they opened. So 7:50am. 3 people were waiting. So I was 4th or 5th in and I was first one out. Just walked straight to the apple area and said I wanted new 32gb black iPad and he printed me the order paper to take to the front. Printed it like 1 minute after I told him what I wanted. So I walked up there and they got it and I was out. Spent maybe 15 minutes total in the store. Was awesome too. No wait. Anyhow I know that doesn't have anything to do with this issue, just wanted to share.
