"Cannot connect to iTunes Store" - iPhone 4

Was trying to connect to the app store but kepr getting the message "can not connect to Itunes"

After reading through these posts found a solution that worked...at least for now.

Shut off the wifi if it is on.....connect to the App store via 3G...then you can go back and turn on wifi and reconnect.

Tryed all of the above things. DID NOT WORK. This is realy starting to **** me off. I wish that they would get off their *** and do something to fix this. 😠

Having the same problem that seems to have been going on for a very long time based on these posts. Just got the iphone 4s and love it except for this.Why can't this be fixed? I have trouble getting on App store 90% of the time.,,cannot connect to itunes store msg...Every once in awhile I get on and it is fine. ***?

Tried both 4G and WiFi methods to no avail.

Well folks I finally got my "can't connect to iTunes" issues fixed. Seems that there was an unauthorized change to my email address and account therefore not allowing mr to connect to iTunes.

Here is how I got it fixed.

1. Contacted iTunes store support

2. Followed their instructions and replyed with the following info:

An order number from one of my purchases

Last 4 digits of the c.c. Used for the iTunes store acct

Answer to one of my security questions

And 2 items from this list.

Birthdate

Billing address for Acct

Phone number on acct

It was after all of this that they saw that someone had made an account modification back in February when the issue began. Seems they changed my email address just slightly and that is what kept me from being able to sign in and not a password issue. This was likely due to a phishing email that came out in conjunction with iCloud asking users to change their passwords to a more secure form by adding a capital and number.

To get all of this cleared up it took about 4 days as we emailed back and forth. I also needed a seperate email address they could use to send me info. Once they determined the issues and went to get them fixed by changing the email address associated with the acct and I created a new password I was able to access iTunes with no issues and even my previously thought lost acct balance was there.

Hope this helps

Same. My wifi is working fine for every other app, just not the app store. If apple don't sort this out I'm goin back to my blackberry.

i hate this problem so much. how can we do? pls tel

hi i had this problem my phone has always worked ok until i turned on genius then i could not connect to store so i turned of genius on mac and did a restore

seems to have done the trick . so far anyway

I think I just found my solution. Go to Settings, Store, and click your apple ID to sign out. I signed back in, and Voila!

i was trying to connect to the itunes store and got the same message but it would still work on wifi and i didnt know what to do. then for no reason i checked and i realised i had no credit, as this might be the case with you

THIS WORKED FOR ME ALSO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. THAT IS THE FIRST THING I HAVE DONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKED. APPLE SHOULD HIRE YOU. THE ONE THAT WAS. SETTINGS, STORE, LOG OUT, THEN LOG BACK IN. WORKED LIKE A CHARM.

Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings

Hi Vishal,

Did you ever fix your iTunes problem? I'm having the exact same issue with my iphone 4S where I can open the iTunes store but cannot seem to download new apps or new mp3s. I have done the steps you listed in your post. It's been over month, so please let me know if someone helped you out

Thanks,

Mary

I had the same problem. I fixed it like that: Settings/general/reset/reset all settings. It worked for me. good luck mates and THANKS A LOT for the solution.

This worked perfectly for me. thanks SO much for your response.

I had to do this as well - reset ALL settings, NOT just network settings.
