Keep getting "cannot connect to iTunes" message when i try to update apps.

Everytime i go into the app store and click "updates" i am getting the message from above. It is noit that im not connected to the internet because i am having no problem downloading apps and songs from iTunes. I have recently changed my apple I.D. So i have reverted back to my old I.D. as someone suggested but still nothing. I was told my apple I.D. and password needed to be the same. as the ones i used to download them but i have changed my password and now cant change it back because it doesn't have enough characters in my old password

This is Apple's starting point/troubleshooting web site for iTunes Store connection issues. It has links to more advanced troublehooting as well.
Can't connect to iTunes Store
Have you tried rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again - or temporarily disabling your firewall or anti virus software?
Restart or reset the iPad?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Cannot connect to iTunes store when I try to update apps...why?

When I try to update my apps, it says cannot connect to iTunes store. Why and how do I fix this?

Thanks for responding turingtest2 - I finally worked it out (no thanks to Apple!) - I am in South Africa at the moment and availability of content here is very limited (it seems) according to the bloggers - when I looked there is a tiny faint grey note at the bottom of http://www.apple.com/za/itunes/download ...
it seems to pick up South Africa and the UK - in fact I have set up an alternative UK apple ID so I suppose it sees my ipad, checks my "accounts" and constructs the note accordingly? Weird.
It would have been REALLY helpful to have a clear indication of content availability when setting up the South African account. I have found the several places where the experts explain how to work around this problem with fake US addresses and voucher payments. I don't want to do that.
I have to say that my limited experience with iTunes and Apple over three years (previously on PC/Windows) is way below what I would expect from Apple inc ... this incident must have wasted four hours of my life ...

My IPad says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when I try to update

My IPad says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when I try to update apps. How can I resolve this?

I had the same problem and tried absolutely everything...on my own and stuff I'd read on-line. Nothing worked. What finally did was this. I held down an app until all started jiggling. Then I deleted one of the ones that needed updating. Then pushed the round button at the bottom of the iPad to stop the movement. Then went to the "Featured" section of the App Store. In the search box (top right corner) I typed in the name of the app I'd just deleted. When it pulled up, I chose "Install". Worked perfectly. I went through this process, one-by-one, until I got all of them done. Now, everything is updated.
Sure hope this helps you and hope this isn't the new norm for how to do updates. I used to just select "Update All", entered my password, and the updates started happening.

Hello richvasmc,
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

You need to have a data connection. Tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then in Settings App make sure Data is ON, or if you want make sure WiFi is ON.

Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.

Try contacting iTunes via email to check if there is an issue with the account. go to apple.com/support/itunes
Click on iTunes Store account and billing and select inquiries. On the right side click on "email us".
Before doing that trying viewing your account information first. Open the iTunes on you mac, look at the menu and select store and select view my account. Try removing the card (this is only applicable if you don't have a pending charges with iTunes) and hit done. Sign out, quit iTunes and sign back in and try updating the apps again.

Next try DFU mode and restore.
