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.

  • Why can I not connect to the itunes store on my iPhone?

    Why can I not connect to the itunes store on my iPhone? Heard that other people are having the same problem and that Apple needs to fix it.

    Hello sakif16,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • Why can I not log into The app store after changing credit card information?

    Why can I not log into the App store after changing credit card information?

    DNS -
    Some folks resolve download and other connection issues by using either OpenDNS or Google Public DNS services. The best use is to use it as the DNS configuration in your modem/router/gateway device, but often the configuration in the computer or iOS device will over ride the other configuration if you don't have access.
    Open DNS;

  • HT1491 Why can I not connect to the ITunes Store for updates?

    This is the second time in less than a year that I cannot access the ITunes Store for updates to my IPad. I have reset my settings with no luck. Can someone help because Apple does not seem to want to.?

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
    In the meantime ...........

  • Why can i not purchase from the app store?

  • HT204266 Why can I not connect to the iTunes Store even though my password is correct and I have both Wifi and 3g?

    Hello!
    Could someone please help me?
    I cannot connect to the iTunes store on my iPhone for some reason.  I have reentered the password, shut the phone on and off a few times and have been able to connect to the iTunes store on my computer.  This is a pretty big problem and I don't understand why it is happening.
    Many thanks
    Chris

    Looks like there's a general problem across the US and UK at Apple's end. I've not been able to connect since this morning and there are loads of threads on here about the same issue.

  • Can not connect to the app store

    Hi all,
    I hope one will be able to give me more help than the apple support team.
    I've installed the update on my two computers.
    On the IMac it is working fine in several account.
    On my MacBook Pro, the app is stuck on"Can not connect to the app store".
    I've tried the suggestions of the help menu, and from some discussions. I even reinstalled the ocmbo update.
    Nothing happens.
    If somebody has some clue?
    Thanks in advance.

    HI and welcome...
    Download and install the v10.6.6 combo update available here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
    Then repair permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done.
    If you see any warnings re: SUID messages, they can be safely ignored, information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
