ITunes Store slow on iPad

I am having a great deal of trouble with the iTunes Store (Music, Films, etc) on my iPad 3.
The iTunes Store App appears to be running really slow, with either nothing displaying at all, or only some items appearing after a long wait.
The issue affects all the tabs (Music, Films, TV, etc), in fact just changing tabs can take minutes, with little results shown if at all.
I can see a spinning 'in progress' icon in the status bar at the top of the iPad screen next to the WiFi icon, it just runs and runs.
I have quit the App, done a hard reboot on the iPad, it makes no difference at all.  It may have started after the 5.1.1 update but I can't confirm that as this is the first time I have been in the iTunes Store on the iPad for a few days.
There are no speed issues with the App Store or other internet based apps, they are all operating normally.
I am also on a 30mbps cable connection and I know it is not an internet speed issue.
Maybe there is an issue at the iTunes Store end, is anyone else seeing a problem?

I have the same problem on my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen 64 gig iPads! That can't be a coincidence, I reset network settings on the iPad, reset the airport extreme, renewed the ip on the cable modem, at one point I did a hard reset on the iPads, I made sure the program was closed completely and reopened it, all that but not nessasarly in that order,  and as others stated everything else works good, only the iTunes app is painfully slow. I'm running a 100 meg Internet connection and pretty much maxing out the iPad on upload and down load speeds as per speedtest.net app. And all this occurred for me soon after the 5.1.1 update release. The 1st gen 64 gig iPad I have has not had the update yet and iTunes has the same issue running 5.1!

    You may think you are connected to the internet, but maybe not. Click on Safari and see if it connects.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

    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.

  • I have purchased a ringtone in the iTunes Store for my iPad, and I cannot find the download together with my music. I have received the invoice but I have no product. I am working with iOS6, if that helps. Can anybody help me?

    I have purchased a ringtone in the iTunes Store for my iPad, and I cannot find the download together with my music. I have received the invoice but I have no product. I am working with iOS6, if that helps. Can anybody help me?

    I am confused. Do you mean you found the music, not the tones, or you can't find either?
    If the former, then this is normal. You can't redownload tones from the Cloud.

    How can i play wordsplosion on my imac?  The apps in the iTunes store are for iPad or iPhone.

    The Mac App Store has apps for Mac computers. The iTunes Store does not. You must be running 10.6.8 or later to access the App Store. The App Store is on your computer in the Applications folder and on the Dock.

    Hello gtsowen,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    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.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • How can I view my purchase history of mt iTunes Store on the iPad or iPhone 5??

    How do I view my purchase history of my iTunes Store on the iPad or iPhone 5??

    Stupid apple won't let you. You have to use a personal computer. I have a windows PC. How dumb is it of apple to make me have to go to PC. I ain't buying a Mac just to see my balance. This is why I use, iPad and android phone. When I buy in android everything is transparent, and if I buy a deal and don't use it, they credit you back no questions asked.
    Wait till Samsung and Amazon start making fun of iTunes Store along with Apple TV. Such promising technology but is managed by dictators.

  • I downloaded a film from itunes store on my ipad but it doesn't start

    i downloaded a movie from itunes store on my ipad. i went to try and watch but it doesn' start. it ask me if i want to start watching, i press ok. the screen goes black but after a few secods it goes back to the main page. please help!

    You go into settings, iTunes and App Store and turn off to show all. Show all shows both 'on device' and 'in the cloud'. Turning that off makes your device show 'on device' only and makes the cloud items invsible.
