Upgraded to iOS5 and now cannot connect to iTunes Store

After upgrading to iOS 5, I cannot connect to the iTunes Store.  I was having the problem at home where I was connected to my home network, and now when I'm not connected to a network.
Suggestions?

This appears to be an Apple ID issue.  I was forced to change my username to my email (which I had already done years ago) after searching and searching for reasons why my password all of the sudden didn't work on my iPhone.  This started about 3-4 weeks ago. 
So my password needed to be re-set when I tried to access my iTunes on my computer, and my iTunes balance disappeared.  My username was still my email address (as it had been for years) but my gift card balance was gone and so was ownership of all my apps and music
Now, after upgrading to iOS5 my ONLY Apple ID now works with the re-set password, but it lost all of my apps.  They are there, but when I go to update them through the iTunes store, I get that "cannot connect to itunes store" error message because after that weird 'update' to my Apple ID it seems to have lost all history I've had with Apple. 
This is so upsetting, as I'm finding out that Apple does not allow recovery of these purchased items between these ID's.  So, now I'm wondering where in the heck is my "old" apple id??  I can't sign in with my "old" info....
Lame.

  • Updated to newest version of iTunes and now cannot connect to iTunes Store

    Please help! I have tried everything suggested by Apple to remedy this problem to no avail. I even have removed iTunes completely and downloaded/installed the newest version again. I did not want to update, but the store would not let me purchase a new release with my older version for some reason? I always hate modifications/updates. They never seem to work properly. Thanks for any suggestions in advance!

    i had the same thing happen to me. as usualy new version of something stops something else from working. its final cut pro updates all over agian. anyway... the above posts helped me get a solution so i will share it;
    since i didnt have any virus protection it appears to be the built in windows firewall doing the damage. on my machine i had to navigate to the windows security icon which is burried : start -> programs -> accessories -> system tools -> security center. then scroll down to "windows firewall" to the "exceptions tag". "iTunes" was already selected as an allowed program so i deleted it and then added it again (manually add program, then browse to wherever you saved iTunes to. likely in program files). the newer version came up as "iTunes.exe" not just "iTunes" as before.
    thanks for the guidance and hope this helps someone else.

  • My devices iphone, ipad and itouch Cannot connect to itunes store?

    My iphone, ipad and itouch are not able to get into itunes store.  It says cannot connect to itunes store.

    This started happening when I had to change my apple user id to an email address.  This is what has been causing problems with others.  I called apple tech support & received help fixing it before, but it didn't permanently correct the problems.  I had to go through all these steps that took over 45 minutes.  Can't remember the steps so  I will be on the phone with them again to try & resolve

  • Activated iPhone on XP and now cannot connect to iTunes on MAC

    Is it possible to sync Outlook on XP machine and music on a MAC. iTunes on the MAC cannot connect to the iPhone. Issues an "unknown error" message.
    Help!

    Yes, I do the same with mine (sync appointments and contacts from PC at work and media from Mac at home).
    Make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes, reboot the Mac, then connect the iPhone to a USB 2.0 port directly on the computer (not a hub). If it still will not work, consider reinstalling iTunes.

    "Please contact Itunes Support to complete this transaction"

    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.

  • IPad 2 "Cannot connect to iTunes Store."

    I have a new iPad 2 (32 gig non-3G) and when I try to download an app from the App Store it takes me to the home screen and displays "Cannot connect to iTunes Store." My internet connection is fine and my iOS (5.0.1) is up to date. iTunes and the App Store open and seem to be connected.
    I have tried turning off and then turning on the iPad and it will sometimes allow me to download and install apps but not always. The same is true for reconnecting to the network.
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks

    I had the same problem with only my ipad 2 while my ipad 1 and iphone 4 would work perfectly in the same location. I don't know is something has changed at the apple end to make my ipad 2 connect again but this is what I did and things seem to be OK for me for now..
    Try it out and see if it helps.
    On the ipad 2 go to settings .. Store..On the right side touch the apple ID at the bottom of the right side
    That will open your Apple ID with options like Vew Apple ID, Sign out and Iforgot.
    Press Iforgot It takes you to a screen to enter your apple ID. Then Next and it sends you an email to rreset your password. I did not reset the password and the email is valid for only 3 hrs it seems. I just went back to using the ipad 2 as usual and something seems to have worked.
    Let me know if this helps anyone else. I had this problem only after upgrading to ios 5.

  • Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access.

    Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access. It will connect if I connect to my iPhone hot spot via wifi. Any ideas?

    If you follow this video you'll see how to delete your WiFi AP from the OS, this will allow you to select it again which I feel will correct your problem.
