TS1398 Why can I still connect to the internet, but I can no longer connect to the iTunes store?

My family recently gave me an iPad for Mother's Day. It's been really awesome, but suddenly today I began getting an error: "Cannot connect to iTunes Store."
The process looks great right up to the download. Then, after the icon appears with the status bar, just before you would expect the status bar to start filling out...BAM, error!
I can connect to the internet just fine. I am able to sync via WiFi without trouble. I'm pretty sure I have tried all the troubleshooting on-and-offs. I even did a restore.
Am I missing something? Why would it work fine one minute and get all quirky the next?
Help me Obi-wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) 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.

    If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • HELP!!!i can download files from the internet but i can not open them,help!

    I am running mac os x 10.5 i can download files from the internet but adobe reader 9 keeps telling me they can not decode them,( Adobe Reader could not open 'dap93.exe' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged) (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). help!

    Adobe Reader does not open .EXE files, it opens .PDF files.  If you were on Windows I would tell you to fix the file association, but I have no idea how to do that on a Mac.

  • TS1398 My macbook is connected to the internet, but my iPad just stopped connecting.  I have "forgotten" the network and restarted, and I have "turned off" the iPad.  It still says it's not connected to the internet, but the wifi signal is strong.

    My ipad was working, and then just said it wasn't connected to the internet.  I have forgotten the network and rejoined, I have turned off the ipad (slid on the arrow), and still no luck.  The macbook is working with no problem.  Help.

    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.

  • I'm connected to the Internet but I can't sign in on Skype or play online games?!

    My parents changed the channel for the BT home hub and I am online the wifi config is all green but I can't play online game or Skype as it says I'm offline?! I have gone on advanced settings and updated my mac and restarted it but still no working but it works fine on my phone! HELP!

    Am a newbie but somethings may work here, Go to dock preferences and to network and to your airport connection window.
    You have a green light signal in network status window? If it is yellow or red it is unavailable. If your connection is full of traffic, this may effect connection.
    In window you may need to type in optional search domains. Your provider should tell you this no one else~ They would also walk you through your connection failures. If it is yellow and you connect to your provider's router and don't have your own router, this number may not appear in your connection information. You need to tell them their router is down so they can fix it. They may not find out if pings come back. Pings may also be cached (I am not sure but it might) so it may take them a while to find out if you don't tell them. I would call your provider. Maybe empty your preferences in your browser. You may have cookies or garbage to empty there. Use another browser.

  • My brand new ipod touch 5 says it is connect to the internet but I can't access anything

    I just opened an Ipod touch 5 and it says it is connect to my wireless internet at full strength, but when I try to use an internet based application it doesn't work. I can't connect to anything that needs internet.

    The problem could be caused by a firewall in the router.  For reasons that I do not understand, that will affect IOS (iPod/iPad) communication but will not affect computers or other devices.
    You will need administrative access to the router.  If a firewall is present, turn it off and test the iPod again.  If it works, turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test the iPod again.  Repeat as required.

  • I have a connection to the internet but I can't connect

    Hi,
    OK here's my problem, I'm running an internet connection through a ADSL modem with four ports, one port going to my power book the other to my Xbox. Now 100% positive that it's not a modem issue as my xbox can access an internet connection.
    But my mac on the other hand is a different story, when you open up the network setting you can see green lights on the ethernet connection, however when I start Safari or Firefox it doesn't connect to anything... help please anyone....:)

    System Preferences>Network>Show Built-in Ethernet>TCP/IP. Do you get an IP address? What is it?

  • Mac can't connect to the Internet but iPad can

    I'm having trouble getting my Mac to connect to the net.   Tried restarting both my modem and Apple router.   Also tried with wired and wireless connection.   No dice.   Anyone offer any suggestions.   Oh, I'm running the latest OSX -10.8.

    I have been having problems with various computers not pulling DNS settings properly. The only way I can get them to reconnect to the Internet is by manually removing the DNS servers from the Network system preference. I am assuming you are using DHCP on your router.
    Go to the System Preferences, then choose Network. Make sure the lock in the bottom right hand corner is unlocked. Select the interface you want to use, ie. Ethernet or wi-fi. Click the Advanced button. Select the DNS tab and make sure there aren't any manual entries in there. If there are, click on them and hit the minus button in the bottom left hand corner. Apply the changes and hopefully it comes right back.
    I have had to continually redo this process on laptops, though. I haven't figured out how to make the change stay, I think it's some sort of corrupted preference or maybe permissions problem.
    Hope it helps...

  • I don't use a proxy server to connect to the internet, but Firefox automatically configures itself to use the loopback address.

    I have a direct connection to the internet and don't use a proxy server. Every few weeks, Firefox automatically resets itself to be configured to use a proxy server at the loopback address (127.0.0.1). Manually changing it back to "No proxy" works, but I have to do so each time I open the browser or even a new tab. The only fix I can find is to create a new profile which gives me a new, clean install of FF, but then I lose all my add-ons. This has happened repeatedly now and it's extremely frustrating. I have scanned for malware but have not found any problems.

    hello rjlasser, first of all please make sure that none of your extensions is causing the issue (some youtube censorship circumvention addons also make use of proxies for example).
    otherwise please refer to [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] for some common solutions.
