Why won't my apps connect to the iTunes Store?

I can't search for specific apps now.  I can only browse the advertised ones.  Why am I getting an error message saying "CANNOT CONNECT TO iTUNES STORE"

There appears to be an issue going on with the App Store right now.
I can access the store but cannot do a search without first selecting one app and have it pop up in the window, then enter my app into the search field and then struggle through a couple of more steps until apps appear in the list based on the "keyword" in the search bar, and then I can tap on one of those from there.
Something is wrong on Apple's end is my belief.

  • Why won't my iPad connect to the iTunes Store?

    I have tried to download both music and movies on my new iPad3 wifi/3g and keep getting the message that it cannot connect to the iTunes Store. I tried creating another apple ID to see if that would help but still having the same issue when trying to buy music or download movies from iTunes store.  Can anyone give me any answers to rectify this.?

  • Apple ID won't let me connect to the iTunes Store

    When i try signing in with my Apple ID to the iTunes Store, the iTunes Store becomes temporarily unavailable. My old Apple ID works but my new one wont allow me to sign in. Any Suggestions?

    Hello, TonyanAsia. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue. 
    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 won't my applications purchased from the itunes store launch on my macbook pro? My software is up to date.

    I purchased a few games from the app store recently. I have updated all of the software on my Macbook Pro but the applications will not launch. If the problem was contained within just one application, I could have fixed it, but neither of the applications will launch. I click on them, they turn blue, but that's it. I do not have an iPhone or iTouch with which to test the applications. Could somebody tell me what is wrong with my computer/the applications and how to fix them?!

    Hello ah3636,
    Apps on the iTunes store are made for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch and not the Mac.
    By any chance, do you mean the Mac App Store?

    Safari does work, right?
    It could be due to the school blocking iTunes.

  • I cannot connect to the iTunes Store on my PC. I am running Windows 7. I have run the updates and the flushdown. I've run the repair download ... no results. Help!

    iTunes still does not work properly. It will let me play the music, but it still won’t let me connect to the iTunes store. I did all of the updates, including the "repair missing files" and did a flush and everything comes back as just fine.
    I’ve thought about totally uninstalling and reinstalling, but I don’t want to lose all the settings and configurations. Hopefully we can figure out what went wrong.
    Last week, I was trying to download an app a couple of days ago and it seemed to get stuck. We had to do a “hard shutdown”to get the computer to shutoff and get out of the iTunes program. I don't know if that had anything to do with my problems. Hopefully any suggestions will help me get back into the iTunes Store. I miss my iTunes!!

    Try iTunes 9.2.1 which will run on OS X 10.4.11.  iTunes 9.2.1, http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
    You also need at least Safari 4.0.3 to connect to the iTunes Store.  You can download Safari 4.1.3 for OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069

  • My iTunes won't connect to the iTunes store why?

    My iTunes won't connect to the iTunes store why?

    Hey, I had the same problem with the itunes not connecting to the store thing, I recommend checking your firewall and stuff make sure itunes (or safari) is not blocked, if everything is ok with that (apple apps not blocked), Uninstall Itunes, safari, quicktime icloud and whatever apple app you have on your computer. and get an earlier version.... the problem in some cases? Apple Application Support on itunes 10/quicktime 7 and later, a flaw that apple has to work on I recommend downloading a earlier version of itunes

  • I get a message that my ipad and iphone cannot connect to the iTunes store. I have tried to sync books to my iPad and iphone and i get the message that I cannot connect to the iTunes store and thus cannot sync a book to my books app. Why?

    I get a message that my ipad 2 and iphone 5 cannot connect to the itunes store when I try to sync a book to my book app. Although, when I click "store" both are able to access the itunes store. Why is this? Also I tried to open a book that was synced and a message that I did not have enough memory to load this book popped up--when I know that I have well over 40gb of memory left in my ipad and over 16gb left in my iphone. The message that I cannot connect to the itunes store is strange that it offers no option and I have to hit OK to get out and use my ipad or iphone.

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
    If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and changing the date to a few months (or maybe a year or two) in the future and then re-trying

    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.

    Have you contacted Sprint?  See if they can resolve your issue, if you can't get 3G.
