ITunes Can't Connect To iTunes Store

Ok so, I have a Windows 7. Whenever I try to connect to the iTunes store from my computer or trying to download almum artwork, etc. I get this message after trying to load for about fifteen seconds: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error has occurred (0x80090318) Make sure your network connection is active and try again." The thing is, I know I have a good network connection and the latest version of iTunes. I don't ever recall being able to connect to the internet with iTunes. It kinda hinders my full use of iTunes. Also, this may or may not have relation, but I used to be able to back up my iPod Touch to my computer (same computer), then it started laging so i looked it up and what i found suggested that I restart both my computer and my iPod. It worked for awhile but now it doesn't no matter what i do. That was a fourth generation and now I have a fifth generation and it does the same thing. Thanks in advance.

I posted this one. looks similiar to your problem. please let me know if you find a solution
I consistantly get an error message when logged into my user profile on my dads computer. He gave me administrative rights and still the same problem. We can log on to Itunes music store through his profile with no issues.
The error message reads;
Itunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network
connection was refused.
Make sure your network settings are correct AND your network
connection is active, then try again.

    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.

  • 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.

    Try to reset all setting on your phone and see. If issues still persist try to back up your phone using iTunes and restore it using computer.

  • Can't connect to App Store with Iphone

    I have 2 updates to install, but when I enter my pasword, I get a message "can not connect to App Store". I can connect just fine on the computer, but not the phone. I just installed the latest Itunes software 9.0.3 and the computer is running 10.5.8. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

    The firewall may be the issue.
    Open System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
    Make sure it's turned OFF.
    If the firewall is off, then try restarting your router.

    HI, I jst received my iPhone 6. And I try to installs some application but when I gi to App Store always show me "can't connect to App Store"
    have everyone know what is the problem ???
    thank you:)

    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

  • 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,
