My iPad can't Connect to iTunes Store/AppStore

When I contacted Apple Support they confirmed this is an issue with the iTunes Store and they have a "team" working on it. It seems to be intermittent. And what works as a fix one time may not the next.

Totally agree with you. called apple supp., and was told sys. down for maintenance. problem is now resolved since about 7:30 EASTERN USA time. I'm from Ny area.

problem occured on both my ipads 1st and 3rd gen as well as both my iphone4s.

Got this New iPad few weeks ago. Loved everything about it. I was able to connect to everything - App Store, App updates, Mails, Safari etc. Only one problem - click in iTunes icon and it says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".

Followed every troubleshooting I saw on the web but nothing worked. However a miracle happened. I was trying to relook at the problem.

1. I signed out of my id from Apple store.

2. Reset wireless settings from Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network settings

3. Reconfigured wireless acess on my iPad

4. Without signing in I clicked on iTunes and Voila!!

It worked.

I think the first step was the key cuz other steps have been repeated multiple times

This old post helped me with an iPad 1. Thank you

This helped me ( I have iPad 3 and iOS 6 )

Found it here:

Go in your iPad to " Settings => Wi-Fi => ( network you are logged on ) => DHCP .

Look at your DNS setting and write it down, just in case.... Then, change your DNS setting to:

8.8.8.8

Problem fixed, never again unable to download from iTunes !!

This is obviously a bug from the iOS. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Anyway, I found a solution hope this can help someone out there.

1- Go to settings and logout from your store account

2- Go back to APP Store and try to download whatever you wanted to download , it will ask you to login with your existing ID , do so with your password and it should work. Your download will start right away.

Basically what you doing is to authenticate right before the download starts.

Hope this helps, it helped me.

iPhone 4 running iOS 6

You're awesome! I was logged in under the wrong account. I would have never figured this out without your help.

This works for me!! many thanks, just had to deactivate Genius from my itunes account!!.

This avoid me to restore my iphone which would involved spending many time!!

wow!! it worked!

Setting DNS to 8.8.8.8 worked for me too.

I cannot connect to iTunes, it just shows me "cannot connect to iTunes Store"... What should I do? I tried signing out and again signing in but nothing happened. Even I tried reset all settings. Do I need a wifi connection for this? In fact my Bluetooth is also not working... What should I do... Anyone plz help me... I have a laptop Sony vaio... Can I download iTunes on it?

I tried several things here, but what worked was signing out of my Apple ID on the iPad 2. Settings/iTunes & App Stores/touch Apple ID: and tap Sign Out. I then signed back in and all worked perfectly well!
