TS1424 cannot connect to itunes store

As of this morning (Thursday, November 15, 2012), neither my iPhone4S nor my iPad2 (both running latest OS scrupulously maintained) can connect to the iTunes store. They were able to download updates yesterday. I'm not sure I understand how they may detect that updates are available without being to connect. Nor do I understand how they may be able to display "purchased apps which are not downloaded", featured apps, and all the rest. Attempted download of updates fails with "Cannot connect to iTunes store." The "help" files on the Apple website are particularly not helpful on this issue. The devices are fully functional, including having access to the internet and being fully powered, in all other respects. I'm at a loss for a solution.

I tried on my MBP and got a 500. This is a "server error", not client side. So it really irks me that Apple nowhere in the help files (that I saw) mentions the "remote" possibility that it's the fault of *their* server(s) instead of the client machine. I reckon I'll sit tight and try again later.

  • TS1424 Cannot connect to itunes store via ipad

    Hi guys. I Try to open itunes in my ipad2, but a massege popup "cannot connect to itunes store" ... What should i do?

    Ok, I found a solution that worked for me when trying to connect to the iTunes store by tapping the "update" button in the "App Store" app on my iPad 2. Before the solution was implemented I'd always get the error message "cannot connect to iTunes store". Once the solution was implemented I now can connect to iTunes using the "update" button in the "App Store" app and I get the normal message "All apps are up to date". The solution is this:  go into Settings, then General, then scroll to the bottom where it says Date and Time. Tap Date and Time and then turn OFF Set Automatically. When you do that a new option will be added that says Set Date and Time. Tap it. You'll now get a drop down feature. Set the Date AHEAD 2 YEARS. The Time you can leave alone.
    Once you do that you might get a bunch of reminders and messages that your apps and stuff haven't been updated in two years. Click cancel or close on each of those messages or reminders. Now go back into Settings, General, Date and Time, and turn Set Automatically back to ON. Reboot your iPad. Open the App Store app again and go to the Update button. It might ask you to log back in to your iTunes account. It should now work. If not, close the App Store app completely and open again and try the update button. Hope this helps.

  • IPad app store message "Cannot connect to iTunes store"

    Recently my iPad (wifi) & my husband's iPhone (AT&T)have been unable to connect to the app store or iTunes. We get the message "cannot connect to iTunes store". The only thing that I have done recently is download a kindle book & add a Bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard was never paired with the iPhone so I don't think that could be the issue. The iPad & iPhone have both been updated, but that hasn't resolved the issue. There was no problem connecting to iTunes through the PC to run the update. Why would both devices suddenly have the same problem? One is wifi & one is 3G so it's not the connection. They have nothing in common except the error. Any help would be appreiciated since this is getting frustrating. Thanks!

    Hi, Thank you!  I did as you suggested but it didn't work.  So, this time I cleared all apps out of the tray, signed out of my account at the store, and did a hard reboot.  Then on my desktop I signed out of my account in iTunes and then synced.  I have signed back into the store on the iPad but still get the same message.

    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.

  • Itunes cannot connect to iTunes store error 306

    Hi, I think I originally posted this on the wrong forum. So I will repost and hope for the best.
    Up until recently I used to connect to the internet via airport and everything worked fine. I could connect to iTunes store no problem.
    The connection was all set up by the local phone company and somehow they connected the iMac to airport via a modem.
    I know that this appears to defeat the point of airport but it worked fine.
    I had connection problems with the modem (it was old and needed replaced) that was attached to the airport and iMac. I arranged for the telephone company to come and replace the modem. However, although they replaced the modem and the internet connection is fine.
    What they did not do was to reconnect the Airport device and now I cannot connect with iTunes store. Now instead of connecting to the internet via the Airport connection I now connect via Ethernet
    The error message I get is
    "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occured (306).
    Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
    I think that if someone could advise how I stop trying to connect to the iTunes store via Airport but via an Ethernet connection
    iMac intel Mac OS X (10.6.6)

    iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
    Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
    To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings  ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1490 ) and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
    To reset iTunes Store cache:
    In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the "Reset cache" button.
    Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
    Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
    Open iTunes.
    Access iTunes preferences:
    On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Parental Controls tab.
    Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
    For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.
