Iphone 3Gs - Upgrade OS 4.0 - Cannot buy anymore in app store & itunes

After the upgrade to OS4.0 (Iphone 3GS) I cannot buy anymore applications in App Store. I have access to the apple store and to the applications to buy but the icon with the buy/download in the right corner does not appear for any application (same for itunes - Impossible to buy musics).
I have already tried with other itunes account and the behaviour is the same. With OS3.0 I haven't any problems.
With a PC and Itunes the problem does exist and apps can be bought. The only problem is in the iphone ....
Anyone can help ?

Thanks Tommy, but I had already tried the "Notes" setting on and off and neither seemed to make any difference.
I just tried to email a Voice Memo, another feature I use regularly, and it had the same problems as before however this time it wouldn't even send a message to the Outbox.
I decided to try a few differnent mail accounts I have, POP3, IMAP and HOTMAIL to see if any of them would work. Interestingly, when I created a new POP3 account and clicked "Save", during the verification process for this new POP3 account it produced an error with the IMAP account!
I thought I should just delete the newly created POP3 account as well as my normal IMAP account (this one noted in the first post above) and then I'd recreate the IMAP account. As I deleted the POP3 account, I heard the sound that is played when an email is sent, the phone then automatically switched to the Mail application and showed the Outbox with all of my previous attempts to send Notes and Voice Memos from the last couple of days. Which all sent successfully.
So even though I was able to send and receive emails during this time, it would seem the OS4.0 upgrade butchered something in the IMAP account settings, which caused both the Notes and Voice Memos to have issues.
It all seems to be working OK now, I just thought I would share this solution/work-around in case anyone else is having the same problems as I did.

  • What shall i do? I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service.

    I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service. What shall i do? any help please.

    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • HT3743 I purchased an iphone 3g that was to be open to any carrier, I went to restore it to my itunes account and get a 1015 error, can this be fixed.  I am new to the iphone and like the product but cannot buy new.  Please help. THANKS

    You got ripped off. You bought a hacked/jailbroken phone. That's what error 1015 means. Return it and get your money back if possible and buy a phone from a legitimate source.
    Discussing jailbroken / hacked phones is forbidden by the terms of service. Jailbreaking / hacking voids any warranty and forfeits your right to support here or from Apple. You can not get help here.

  • HT4623 iPhone 5 Upgraded to iOS7 but cannot get iTunes to work!

    ? iPhone 5 Upgraded to iOS7 but cannot get iTunes App to work!
    The iTunes App opens but does not show anything! e.g. blank screen only. Tries to connect and sometimes gives message "Cannot connect to iTunes store". I can see top and bottom bar icons like Music, Films, TV, Search which each launch a new blank screen only. I can even get to Purchased option which still gives a blank screen. Have restored twice but result is the same.
    Advice welcome.

    Discovered the fix to no iTunes due to another separate App problem that locked up after iOS7 upgrade. To fix, goto "Settings", "Safari", "Privacy and Security" and set the "Block Cookies" to "From third parties and advertisers". Exit Settings and restart the iPhone. Works for my blank screen iTunes issue.

    Double tap with THREE fingers to turn zoom off. Then, go into Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off for good.

    The following troubleshooting assistant may lead you to a resolution of this issue. If you continue to receive an error message when connecting your iPhone, simply restarting both the phone and your computer may help:

  • Cannot sign in into app store on iPhone after updating to iOS 8.2

    Hello guys,
    I'm having a problem here, I wonder if anyone else has this problem too and also have a solution for it. so, I tried to restore my iPhone by iCloud backup.. everything seemed to work well until I did chose the backup I want, after that an error pop ups saying something like "Cannot connect to this backup server." or "Cannot connect to server" I don't remember exactly so I was forced to set up my iPhone as new. I did that, everything seemed but when I tried to download some apps I obviously had to log in into my Apple ID... and every time I try to log in into App Store/iTunes store I get this error "Cannot connect it iTunes store".
    It never happened before updating to iOS 8.2
    (It happened sometime in the past when I tried to log in into app store, but after closing the settings from the task menu and re-open it again it worked)
    Check THIS post guys, I think it is happening to a lot of users.
    Thanks

    As per the Apple iCloud status page, they are having issues. Do not make changes at your end.

    If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!
