Keeps giving me the notification "Connecting to ITunes store"

Everytime I open ITunes Store, it loads normally.
But from the moment when I try to type in a word to search for a song...
With every letter I type, the message "Connecting to ITunes store" appears.
Next letter "Connecting to ITunes store"....
So it takes a lot of time to enter 1 word...
What's the reason for this or what I can I do about it to make ITunes work perfectly like it used to...?

Try going to Settings > Date and Time > Disable Set Automatically and set the date 2 years into the future.
Try again.
Either way if it works or doesn't work go back and Enable Set Automatically and try again, it should work at this point.

I keep getting an error cannot connect to iTunes store on my iPhone

I keep getting an error cannot connect to iTunes store on my iPhone

Can't promise it will fix it, but I tried everything mentioned on other boards to no avail.
What finally worked was resetting my AppleID password so that it met the new password requirements. I suppose it's worth trying that.

Please, help me with the ''Cannot connect to iTunes store'' problem

The same common problem can't be fixed .. I tried every possible solution, none of them worked.I tried changing date and time, reset network settings.None of them worked with me
Please help me to solve this problem

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
In the meantime ...........

Try this first - 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.
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.

Apple TV keeps saying it can't connect with itunes store. Help?

Been trying to pull up purchased season of Breaking Bad. Got thru some episodes but now it's saying it can't connect with itunes store. Everything's updated and all other features of ATV work fine.

I've had apple tv since August and seem to have had to do a restore every 2 weeks or so, lost connectivity, can't connect to itunes or other errors. the restore takes a good 20 minutes even on wide band internet. it works for a few days then seems to go bad. read something online tonight about just restarting apple tv, presumably by powering down from the socket and rebooting. good luck.

Hello, newyorker50.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues connecting to the iTunes Store.
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.

TS1368 I got the "cannot connect to iTunes store" error while making an in-app purchase. The app did not upgrade with my purchase. If I try again, will I be charged twice?

The purchase was made on the new iPad with wifi only. I was connected to a network on both my iPad and my laptop, with no other issues. The error occurred after It prompted me for my credit card info, it asked "do you still want to purchase?" then asked me to enter my password again. That is when I received the message.

Plug your phone to your Mac or PC.
Open Itunes.
Transfer the purchases from your Iphone to your Mac
Go to Books on itunes on your library (Mac not the iphone) and drag the book back to your phone.
That should do it. It worked for me.

TS1702 Why does my iphone say "cannot connect to iTunes store" when I try to update my apps?

Try here:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Go to Settings>General>Time&Date and make sure it is set to automatic
Try change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8

Connection with itunes store failed (only on my iphone)

Hello everybody,
When I want to purchase apps from the app store or update apps on my iphone, I get the message: connection with itunes store failed. I can purchase apps on my computer and send them over to my iphone, but I can't connect only via iphone. WIFI is working, I have internet on my iphone,everything is working, except the connection with itunes. What can I do?
I checked the website for problems, but there is no problem with my wifi.
Can anyone please help me?
Many thanks,
Geeske

Same here.
On my 5c the iTunes Store app shows as open in the multi-tasking view.
But any attempt to launch it from either the multi-taking view or from the app icon on the desktop fails: the iTunes Store app zooms up to fill the screen and then immediately shuts down again.
You can do this as many times as you like, and it keeps failing. Almost as entertaining as Angry Birds.
The link posted by jeremy_v does not offer any information that will fix this problem.
Guess Apple doesn't want us using the iTunes Store.
UPDATE: http://www.imore.com/your-itunes-store-app-crashing-after-updating-ios-7-heres-h ow-fix-it
In short, the fix for me was to launch the iTunes store through Apple's Music app.
Looks like there a bug in iOS7.

Cannot connect to itunes store before and after update ios 8.2, What can i do ?

I updated to iOS 8.2 about 2 hours age and I get an error saying "cannot connect to iTunes Store" every time I try to update existing apps or download new apps. I restarted my phone, disconnected from wifi, reconnected to wifi...nothing is working. Under iTunes & App Store settings, I signed out and now get the "cannot connect to iTunes Store" message when trying to sign back in. I know my Apple ID and password are correct.

Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
Do not change your settings.

Connecting to Itunes store on Iphone 5 - help!!!

After installing IOS 6 on my Ipad i can't anymore connect to iTunes store and iMessage. Anybody has an idea why ?

IOS6

When I try to connect with iMessage, i have a message saying Imposible to connect with iMessage server. Retry (this a translation from a french message).
When I try to connect with Itunes or when I try to go on App store, I have the message Connection to iTunes store impossible (still a translation from a french message)

Still cannot connect to iTunes store

I have changed the date and that allowed me to access the app store via passbook. I cannot, however, access the app store through the app store icon on the home screen. If I select "Charts" it comes up but "Featured" and frequently "Updates" just leads to the "Cannot connect to iTunes store" message.
Very frustrating. Any ideas?

Don't know if this has any bearing on the conversation at hand, but I ran into this issue last night. Started when I couldn't purchase anything via Comixology. Which caused a lot of swearing.
But then realized, that I couldn't get to the Apple store either.
Figuring that it was my wifi access point being a jerk, I reset that. And "forgot", then reconfigured my wireless.
Still nothing.
At this point, I checked our ISP (Charter) to see if they had an outage. They did. DNS servers were hosed. I gave up and went to bed.
This morning. Same thing. One thing I noticed, was that all of our computers -- not iDevices -- had no problems. Weird.
So I checked the firewall, and found that every request was going to Malaysia, or Thailand. I have country blocking enabled on our firewall. So, I thought that was weird. Checked the IP addresses that were blocked, and found that they were Akamai addresses. I allowed one device through, to test, and everything works.
Wondering if Apple is leaning on Akamai for the flood of traffic that the IOS 6 upgrade is causing.
In any case, if your ISP, or firewall, router, what-not blocks Asian rim countries, it's worth a check.

Cannot connect to iTunes Store to update Apps (Games) even though it accepts my password?

I Press on up-dates and it ask for my password and starts to download but then it comes up with ( cannot connect to iTunes) Help please

Now that's really weird.
Hopefully you can find an appropriate contact here.
By the way, do not confuse matters by referring to playing (using) the apps because that does not require a connection to the store. Simply state that you can download new apps but get the "cannot connect to iTunes Store" message when you attempt to update.

Keeps giving me the notification "Connecting to ITunes store"
