Can't connect to the iTunes Store

Even though I can connect to the app store, apps rarely will download.

Even though the iPad can connect to the app store, apps and updates do not download (except occasionally).
The error message is "Cannot connect to the iTunes store." Obviously there is something wrong with that error message, since the iPad actually connects to the store in order to attempt installing an app or update.
I have tried changing networks, changing locations, rebooting the iPad, turning WiFi off and back on and downloading updates instead of new apps, but the fact is that apps and updates will rarely download. I have gone through every troubleshooting item in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368, http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1424, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398, although I found that almost all of it does not refer to my problem. I also tried everyting in an advanced iTunes troubleshooting document I can no longer find. The fact that it works some of the time seems to eliminate most of the troubleshooting steps, which assume the problem is not intermittent.
This started several weeks ago. Before that, I had no problems dowloading and installing apps. The problem started abruptly. At first apps would download maybe 75-80% of the time, but lately, it has gotten rediculous. The successful download is highly intermittent. Apps and updates will download maybe one in 20 attempts or so.
This is an iPad 2 running iOS 5.01.
If anyone can give me some ideas how to proceed here, I'd really appreciate it!

Try this - 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 is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
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.

Cannot connect to the app store

Hi all,
My girlfriend has a macbook air, and wanted to update her computer to Lion. I had no problem doing that on my own macbook pro, but I can't do it on hers. She didn't update her softwares regularly, so at first I found myself having to update a ton softwares so I could finally install the Mac App Store. Once it finished installing though I was never able to actually use it, as when I open the application it just says: "Cannot Connect to the App Store". I looked up online and people had similar problems, and none of the suggested solutions worked:
- Starting up the computer in "Safe Mode" did not work;
- Repairing all the permissions in the Disk Utility application did not work;
- Signing out and in the Mac App Store from the App Store application did not work;
- The problem is certainly not the internet connection because I was able to update my computer in the same connection, and I can regularly access it on my computer.
Does anyone have a tip to solve this problem?
Thank you very very much in advance!

Thanks cpickrell but no, she is not using any firewall or antivirus program. Any other idea?

Safari cannot connect to the App Store so I can setup an RSS Reader.

Let me be clear about a key point first - I can connect to the iTunes Store in the program, I can connect to the App Store in the program, and Safari has no problem acting as a browser.
BUT, I want to use RSS feeds and this is where things fall down.
If the Podcasts app is installed then all XML links to RSS feeds default to being opened in the Podcasts app, and I wouldn't mind this if the Podcasts app could actually display RSS feeds, but it can't. No problem, I'll just remove the Podcasts app.
Now when I click on a link to an RSS feed, Safari gives me the following error,
Cannot Open Page
This is a link to an RSS feed. Would you like to search the App Store for apps that can display RSS feeds?
And my options are Cancel or Search.
I click Search, because when I find an RSS feed on a page I want to subscribe to I don't want to have that error again.
The App Store opens and I almost immediately get the error,
Cannot connect to iTunes Store
However, once I click the OK option, the App Store works fine. I can connect to the App Store.
So, I pick an RSS app anyway to install it. It downloads fine, and I go on browsing in Safari. I find another link to an RSS feed, and this pops up again,
Cannot Open Page
This is a link to an RSS feed. Would you like to search the App Store for apps that can display RSS feeds?
Excuse me? I've already installed an RSS app... and by now I've installed 5 different apps in the hopes that at least 1 of them will do what Podcasts obnoxiously did before and claim the default app status for XML links.
So, Safari works as a browser, the iTunes Store App works, and the App Store app works, but if Safari opens the App Store then I get an error. If I could somehow set which applications opened what links and document types then this wouldn't be a problem either because I could just manually set what I wanted, but I can't.
ಠ_ಠ
What the heck? Why was RSS ripped from Safari with nary a word, leaving in its place the pathetic Reading List function? Bookmarks are for reading later, RSS is for push to me updates, Reading List is just plain pointless and a waste of code. And why can't I set what programs I want to open what file types? /rant
I've already tried the Change Date trick, the Reset All Settings trick, the Turn Off Genius trick, and every other trick I could find where ever the phrase, "Cannot connect to itunes store" popped up in these forums and on the web, and none of them work - I suspect that this is because the App Store does work fine normally for me.
All I want is for Safari or an RSS program to open an RSS feed when I click on the link while browsing the web. Why is this so darn hard?

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.

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.

How do I make my apple id connected to the app store?

I got my sister's ipod touch. I have gone to settings and logged off her apple id account, and logged onto mine. Now, when I went to update my apps in the app store, they asked for the password to my sister's apple id. How do I make my apple id connected to the app store?

- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

I am not able to connect with the App Store on my Macbook pro. Software is up to date (10.7.4)

When I attempt to connect to the App Store, I receive this

The fact that they were preinstalled is why they are supposed to appear in the Purchased pane, in a temporary area labeled Purchases, for you to accept. Not doing so soon after you got the Mac has messed this process up.
To get things back on track properly try these steps;
Updating Pre-installed iLife apps -
1 - Log out and quit iTunes and the Mac App Store (MAS)
2 - Go to System Prefs/Users & Groups/~user/Password and enter the Apple ID connected to your iTunes/Mac App Store account. Close Sys Prefs
3 - Delete /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
4 - Reboot your Mac
5 - Open Mac App Store
6 - Go to the Purchased pane and Accept the three iLife apps. Enter iTunes/MAS username/password if prompted.
