In app store, I am told that I have to enable cookies but they already are.

Hello,

I also experienced this conundrum while helping my mother with a new-used ipod.

I reset, restored and entered in username and password numerous times before resorting to my laptop.

I opened itunes, signed in my mom's account and was met with the same bull-sh*t: "Review account"-message.

But... on the laptop I was able to continue... review apple terms... and finally return to the ipod and re-enter username-password to sucessfully sign in and download apps.

This was my solution.

It is my experience that many Mac issues run into dead-ends while trying to resolve them on ipod/iphone devices. a fullsize computer will often offer more pathways on the road to resolution. Good luck!

I just got off the phone with apple care. They said that it was an issue with the itunes servers not our computers. They said that the servers are down, they are working on it, and they should have it fixed in several days....

just reset all settings in iPad (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings)

its working for me

Don't throw it out of a window. If you really hate - it sell it! :)

As you have found out you can't download any apps without an iTunes account - even free apps so I will assume that you did set up the account properly and that you have an Apple ID and password so ... try this. Go to the settings again and sign out of your account. Restart your iPad and then sign into your account again and see it that works.

If you don't know how to restart your iPad ....Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

BTW .... did you receive an email from Apple confirming the account setup?

To resolve this error contact Apple's iTunes Support. You can either wait until Apple fixes it on the back end or you can report that this issue is affecting you and possibly get it resolved faster.

Call (800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273)

Or submit an online ticket here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html

Can you make a new account using the same email address as used for the initial account?

To make a new account you'd have to use another email address. Thankfully gmail, yahoo, etc. etc. don't care and you can make as many alternative emails as you want these days.

As a workaround, a new account isn't ideal since you don't have your purchase history, but if you just need to get your iOS device set up with some free apps while the server issue is getting fixed, it's an available option.

The Apple Retail Store won't be able to resolve an issue with an iTunes Store account.

They however are awesome people filled with helpful advice.

Making a new account is a valid workaround, but you really should submit a ticket to the link above to get the issue resolved with your old account.

I was teasing you about selling the iPad. Did you authorize your computer to download iTunes content?

Launch iTunes on your Mac and go to the menu at the top and go to Store>Authorize Computer. You must authorize your computer before you can download content from iTunes.

I'm sorry that you are home alone on your birthday but I am very happy that you are now able to enjoy your new iPad. I'm betting that the iPad will give you much joy in the future. It really is an amazing device.

Happy birthday to you. Enjoy your new books!

Same problem here, except this was a new account! Just set it up as the iPad came as a gift with the gifter's ID originally on it, so had to set up a new one. Can't long into iTunes on the Mac, can't log in to either the iTunes or App store on the iPad. Really getting tried of entering the apple ID and PW time after time, then the unhelpful message about turning on cookies or the bizarre one on the Mac about fixing issue with an Apple ID on windows machines!

Same issue here. I also tried to login with my PC to review the account, but it gave me the same message about cookies and a clock reset.

First time apple user received an iPad as a gift, not too impressed so far. Apple support is not open now and the recording does not tell you what hours they are but suggest the expresslane online help that supposedly will have someone call you immediately.... yeah right, no option for that. Just a promise to get back to you in 24 hours. email sent. If they can figure it out for me, I will post the fix.

I gave an ipod touch 4 to my youngest son for his birthday.

Installed iTunes and updated firmware to 4.3.5 (8L1); all OK

Created Apple ID and can logon to this using computer.

When using the working apple ID on the iPod however, keep getting message cookies are disabled. This after it directs to review the new account info.

But cookies are enabled for 'visted'. Also tried 'always'

Also tried hard reset.

Spent a whole day trying to get an apple dev working; still can't use any app.

Also restored to original ios; no luck.

Needless to say my son is very disappinted (and so am I) :-(

Is there any way to get this working, or should I simply ask for a refund?
