Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors

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.
 Cheers, Tom

  • Unable to Connect to iTunes Store for Apple TV Purchases

    For the past 2 days I have been unable to make purchases from the iTunes store with Apple TV. I get the message "Unable to connect to iTunes Store. Temporarily unavailable. Try again later."  Despite this message, I have a valid internet connection and I can still connect to the iTunes store to preview movies and TV shows content with my Apple TV. I just cannot make any purchases. My Apple TV software is currently up to date and I have valid credit in my iTunes account.
    Apple support have suggested that I contact their support community to see if anyone can help me resolve this problem.

    Also having issue, it is ridiculous. Kinda defeats the purpose of having TV if you can't stream any content from iTunes since the change to no hard drive. Come on Apple, I think your better than this.
    I have read on a couple forums that they suspect Family Share as the issue, does everyone have Family Share on? I for one do.

  • "Unable to connect to iTunes Store" 90% of the time

    I have a 3rd Gen iPad with wifi only that I bought about 40 days ago.   Initially I had no problem downloading and updating apps but in the past few weeks I get "unable to connect to iTunes Store" over 90% of the time.   I always verfity the Internet connection is good and I've tried on my home wifi, my cellphone's mobile hotspot, and several hotel wifi connections.     The other day I went into settings and noticed the Security code for my Credit Card was blank so I filled it in and clicked "done".  Unable to connect so I checked back and the code was still blank.   I deleted and redid my CC info and messed with some other settings and iTunes finally let me update some apps.   Now I'm back home and it's giving me the error message again.    I'm wondering if this is a known issue or if there's a fix for it.

    Usually it's because you are not connecting to the internet via wifi.

    Additional things to try.
    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.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • 2 out of 5 user one PC unable to connect to itune store

    2 out of 5 user one PC unable to connect to itune store, using vista. I remove and reistall itunes, I am able to access the internet through browser, but not through itunes, firewall is turnoff. What else can I try?

    The "..at this time" message" sometimes appears when an atypical home folder (eg. one on a network share) isn't available for some reason. I don't use "Filevault", but that might qualify as atypical, since the home of a "Filevault" account actually resides on a disk image.
    Since you were able to attach and mount the ".sparseimage", it would appear that at least your ".sparseimage" is not corrupt, so the most dreaded reason for being unable to log in to a "filevault" account fortunately doesn't apply. Before attempting to troubleshoot this issue, just make sure that you are able to "mount" your backup copy to make sure it transferred successfully.
    I'm guessing but it could be that by attempting to change the account password using the disk, the repair tech created a situation where the "account password" does not match the ".sparseimage" password. The two must be in agreement for login to proceed smoothly, and this is why the "Accounts" pref pane will not let you change a "Filevault" account password unless you are actually logged in to that account. By using the disk, the tech bypassed this safeguard. The first thing to do would be to try to reset your "account password" - there are other ways to do this, one of which is to boot the computer from the installer disk to use the "Reset Password" function.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156
    Make sure to set it to exactly what it was before - ie. identical to the password that is known to have unlocked the ".sparseimage" file. Then reboot and see if you can log in with that password. If not, log in to any other account, open "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and post the output of this command, substituting the appropriate username:<pre>nicl . -read /users/username</pre>

    The icon of the Apple TV no longer appers on the top menu and my Mac is unable to discover it...
    The Apple TV Box is upedated to the most recent software version.
    Apple TV is connected to the same Wifi network of my Mac
    I have a:

    Hello M.A.S.Ramos,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    OS X Mavericks: Wirelessly mirror your Mac screen to your HDTV
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14375
    Make sure your Mac and your Apple TV are on the same network.
    Choose your Apple TV from the AirPlay status icon in the menu bar.
    Choose This Mac or your Apple TV depending on how you want to match the desktop size of your Mac.
    OS X automatically detects an Apple TV when it’s on the same network, and displays the AirPlay icon in the menu bar. When AirPlay Mirroring is active, the status icon is blue.
    Have a nice day,

  • After updating to 10.8.1 unable to connect to App store

    Just upgraded to 10.8 on a 2011 iMac 27" and everything was fine and was able to download 10.8.1 patch. After applying 10.8.1, unable to connect to App store, but onboard network card works otherwise.
    If i disable ethernet connection and enable WiFi, I am able to reconnect to App store.
    Thumbed through other similar issues after 10.8.1 that mention DNS, but it does not apply to this situation since the WiFi is using the same DNS servers within a corporate nework.
    Thinking delete the .plis or change the network location, but was hoping there would be a better fix.

    Root cause was dhcp assigned address was being restricted. Changed IP correcting problem.

  • Receive the message "unable to connect to itunes store" when trying to install updates for my apps

    trying to install updates available for a number of app on my phon and keep getting the same message "unable to connect to itunes store"............

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
