Iphone 4 cant connect to itunes or app store! Help!

my iphone 4 has not been able to connect to itunes or the app store since latest upgrade 4.2.1... a msg pops up sometimes and says cant connect to itunes... other times it shows a window that says cant find itunes on your computer (which is odd cause its a phone!) and has a button to download itunes--what?....... HELP!

to be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work..
first thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo
if that doesn't work I would restore from backup and if that doesn't work I would restore as new if all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one.

    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.

  • Cannot connect to iTunes or App store after 2.0.1 firmware update

    I purchase a G3 iPhone last week at 5th Ave. NY and everything was working super, I've been purchasing games, apps, music without a hiccup until I update the firmware last Friday, now a "Cannot connect to iTunes" message pops up when trying to go to either iTunes or Apps Store. All other computers and also a 2G iPhone with 2.0 firmware and wireless devices connects fine, but my new iPhone.
    I've done some google and found many others with same issue, weird I don't see any here. Any ideas, I tried resetting all, reseting networks, all devices, also restoring the iphone again. I even delete the firmware and download it again in case it was something wrong there but no.
    Every time I try to use app store (sometimes) i get in and when I select anything a message pops up indicating "cannot connect to itunes" . Sometimes it pops up from the start, The same with iTunes.
    Should i take it back to Apple store? Is it a 2.0.1 bug or what?
    Thanks for your help

  • Cannot connect to iTunes or App Store on iPad Mini, but another iPad Mini works fine

    Multiple iPad Mini's in one home.  All connect to iTunes and the App Store except one.  Used to work fine until recently.  What's up?

    Hi WinstonBaby,
    If you are having an issue with connecting to the iTunes and App stores on your iPad, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Specifically the section titled "Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."

  • Cannot connect to itunes or app store after updating 5s to iOS 8.1.1 - have already gone through troubleshooting.

    Hi there,
    I'm super late in updating the iOS on my phone because I heard people were having so many problems with this one. I updated today and low and behold - issue. In order to make room for this update I reset my phone and erased all content - then preformed the update to iOS 8.1.1. This is done and I logged back in and started to set it up again.
    However, now I can't connect to either itunes or the app store. I've already been on apple.com and gone through the troubleshooting section there. Meaning:
    - My date and time are correct.
    I've turned off automatic setting, made sure it was correct and turned it back on as a second step.
    - Obviously it's updated to the current 8.1.1
    - I'm unable to connect either on LTE or when connected to Wifi however, my computer connects to wifi and can get to itunes.
    Even though I am connect to wifi - data is turned on for both itunes and app store.
    - Restrictions are off
    I have fully closed the apps and restarted my phone after taking the above steps but still no luck. I don't get a specific error number only "Cannot Connect to itunes".
    Any ideas with this one?

    I had the exact same issue. try log out of the App Store in Settings. Then make sure to close all apps running, and log in again. worked for me. Good luck!

  • TS3297 iphone will let me download apps but wont let me update the apps that are already downloaded. I get message saying that my iphone cant connect to itunes store. What should I do?

    im trying to fix this and have already synced my phone with itunes and restarted my phone, but nothing is working. does anyone know how to fix this?

    If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • TS1702 after upgrading to ios6 my 3gs iPhone no longer connects to internet and can not connect to iTunes or app store . . . just the loading icon

    My 3gs phone has stopped connecting  for apps, itunes, app store. I believe it may have something to do with the IOS6 install. Safari seems to be operating though.

    Have you rebooted your home router?

  • My iphone 5 will no longer connect to itunes or app store?

    Try logging out of your account on the phone and log back in. To log out go to the app store scroll right down to where you see your AppleID and tap on that and log out

  • Safari won't load, cannot connect to iTunes or App Store.

    My iPhone 4 suddenly stopped loading websites (Safari cannot open the page because it cannot connect to the server) on 3G except for Google or any Apple pages. I do not have WiFi access so I cannot use the Internet that way. Along with Safari not working, iTunes and the App Store won't load and neither does the new software upgrade page. I've reset all settings and network settings and nothing is working. Any ideas?

  • IPod touch 2G iOS4 can't connect to iTunes or App Store

    Since updating my 2G iPod touch to iOS4, I have been unable to connect to iTunes or the App Store. The device can connect to my wifi and Safari works, albeit significantly slower than before, but when I try connecting to either iTunes or the App Store, all that appears is the word 'loading'.
    None of the settings on my router have changed from before the update and I have tried rebooting, restoring the device and the router but nothing has worked.
    I have not been able to confirm whether this happens on a different wifi network as of yet but I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same problems.

    I've having a problem connecting to Itunes or the App Store from my Ipod Touch. I have a good wifi connection and am able to access webpages thru safari but when I try to go to Itunes it won't connect. I went to the settings>Store>tap sign in and entered my itunes sign-on info but it tells me it can't connect. In reading some of the help topics it says when you go into Store it should automatically show your account name after syncing with Itunes on your computer but mine doesn't show that. It just says not signed in.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
