Please advise what might be wrong with my WIFI connection and the app store!
When trying to download apps via the apple app store, it will take ages to pop up with the password box, and then will just time out eventually after giving the me "waiting" icon.
When I disable wifi and connect over 3g the apps will download fine. It cant be anything wrong with the internet connection because my work iphone connects fine and downloads apps without problems (albeit on a diffrent ios version - mine is latest), this phone also goes through the same router.
I've tried forgetting the network AND resetting the network settings i've even restored the entire phone via itunes to factory settings but to no avail - does anyone have any ideas at all - as i'm pulling my hair out!!
P.S - One other thing to add is: once the app has been downloaded with 3g it will work flawlessly with the wifi connection on the phone, its purely just a download issue with the app store!!

In addition, in the middle of typing something like my question, it acts as though I have reached a max number of keystrokes and sent me to this page. My question is this: how do I stop the currently frozen in-app purchase?
Thank you for your response. I did try the reset previously but it was ineffective for my particular issues. It does seem like time heals some of the problems but when shopping in-app time sensitive purchases (like Today Only deals) I get the freeze. I will try your suggestion with the Sleep & Hold buttons as soon as the problem arises again. Many thanks. Mary

As per the Apple iCloud status page, they are having issues. Do not make changes at your end.

Safari won't trust ANY website certificate, even after I tell it to (click Always trust this site option), and i can't connect to the APP store even though I'm clearly connected to the internet. This all started immediately following a RAM upgrade. Please advise.
Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. If the problem isn't solved, ask for further instructions.
1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
2. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter.
3. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
4. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed. -
I cannot find the Messages app on my mac. I searched my Finder and the App Store and still nothing. What am I doing wrong?
What version of OS X do you have? Messages requires 10.8. Previously it was iChat (but does not have iMessage capability to send texts to an iOS device).

My iPad cannot connect to the app store but my iPhone can, what do I need to do?
My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps but my iPhone4s can. They were both recently updated to ios6. Whats wrong with this thing?
So you are saying that after you updated several apps - now you cannot connect to the iTunes or App Stores?
"My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps"
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
Or try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
Or this ...
Reboot 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. -
My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?
Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

Please help me with this.Hi seba,
In order to be able to submit apps to the App Store, you need these things:
1. An Apple ID
2. Join the Mac developer program ($99) https://developer.apple.com/programs/mac/
Once you've got these, you're free to submit your created applications to the App Store. It should walk you through the process -

what can i do if i accidentally deleted my iPhoto from my macbook air and the App Store couldn't recognize that i have bought it before and required me to buy it again ... should i buy it again or what ? i can't manage my photos now ...
Log into the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up. Look under purchases. If it is not there you may need to accept it or to unhide it
