Can't update apps - 'cannot connect to itunes store'

A new one to add to the list is "Pee Monkey Toilet Trainer"

Pee Monkey must have gotten my iPhone 4 wet. I got rid of the Monkey & it dried my phone up & now I can update apps as usual. Thank You to Handbanana. I didnt have to wipe my device & start all over again for the 3rd time.

By me the problem was with the last installed application - iUnarchive and its last update.
I deleted iUnarchive and this solved the problem.

I had same problem - Thank you very much for your help. It is big mess at Apple. It is unbelievable. I did not use this app for months and update was not for years - just delete "Pee Monkey Toilet Trainer" and like miracle - it starts working. Shame is, that nobody from apple care can not help here in discussions 😟

I dont have ship finder... but iTunes still won't update! help!

Pee Monkey IS the App causing the failure to not check for updates. I removed it, didn't even restart iTunes, check for updates, and WHAM, 17 new updates which downloaded without a problem!

This question is not answered.

I deleted Pee Monkey. I never had the Ship thing or Sylvan... Can't Connect to ITunes Store. Ever since the 4.2 upgrade on my iPad.

***, apple?

I have found three apps that are corrupted not mentioned in this thread yet. I have over 2,500 apps in iTunes. I pulled out 900 of them before I could update. now I'm slowly putting them back in alphabetically. I'm not even passed 'A' yet and have found 3 apps that are bad. Aftermath, AppMiner, Assassin's Creed: Altair's...

Really frustrating to add 10 in at a time and have it not work, then have to go through one at a time and find which one is bad.

There needs to be a fix for this. I can't add 900 apps back in 10 at a time, just to be able to update them all.

All my apps are on a Mac Mini. I can buy apps, music, etc.... but I can't update. It says the server is temporarily unavailable ( even as I am buying something). I have over 1000 apps and this is really unnerving. I don't really feel like adding them back in one at a time! Moreover backing them up to a disk is not available for me. I can back up to a NAS but that is not an option with the way iTunes works, or at least it wasn't the last time I checked.

Did anyone ever figure this out for the folks who don't have any of the listed apps that created the problem? I also deleted tons of apps and have yet to get back to successfully loading the app store/iTunes store; it's frustrating. Nonetheless, I am restoring right now and I hope that solves it. If anyone else has figure this out - something Apple has yet to do - please post ASAP as I am more or less in distress about it all.

Actually - I just got done restoring and its definitely a recent update to an app and/or a new app I installed; since now the app store and iTunes store both work fine. I'll be reinstalling apps alphabetically to detect which app is the culprit and I'll post my findings to you all.
