iPad 2 "Cannot connect to iTunes Store."

Exact same problem.

My ipad2 would connect every once in awhile. It hasn't been able to connect for the last 2 days. It worked great for the 1st week.

I am having the same problem with my iPad 2. Very frustrating.. I am writing this FROM my iPad 2 so I am obviously connected to the Internet. Maybe the iTunes servers are overloaded from the Xmas season?

I had the same problem with only my ipad 2 while my ipad 1 and iphone 4 would work perfectly in the same location. I don't know is something has changed at the apple end to make my ipad 2 connect again but this is what I did and things seem to be OK for me for now..

Try it out and see if it helps.

On the ipad 2 go to settings .. Store..On the right side touch the apple ID at the bottom of the right side

That will open your Apple ID with options like Vew Apple ID, Sign out and Iforgot.

Press Iforgot It takes you to a screen to enter your apple ID. Then Next and it sends you an email to rreset your password. I did not reset the password and the email is valid for only 3 hrs it seems. I just went back to using the ipad 2 as usual and something seems to have worked.

Let me know if this helps anyone else. I had this problem only after upgrading to ios 5.

This worked for me like a charm! Finally....I have tried to updated my apps for over a week now.

Thanks Sunil!

I had the same problem with the app store.

It started to work again after I closed the "itunes" app runnin in background..

Maybe they can't be logged in both at the same time from the same machine

(that would also explain why the problem doesn't shows up with devices without multitasking like ipad 1)

I hope that might help.

Worked very well.

Nice job.

I had that problem too. I took the advice of Sun, doing the I forgot button in the settings. My old password was six characters long, while apple requires now, an eight character long password. I made a new password, and everything is running smooth now.

This has been driving me nuts since I bought the iPad 4 weeks ago. iPhone bought a few weeks later was connecting like a dream but iPad not connecting to iTunes Store at all. Turns out all I needed was some 'calm brain time' during which I went:

Settings > Store > Apple ID (tap the panel right at the bottom) > Sign Out > Sign in with your Apple ID

PERFECT!!!!!! Downloadings Apps to my hearts content now...hopefully this will help other people out there who are going demented!

I have had this annoying problem too. Tried Sunils fix and it seems to have worked for now. Shame that four different customer support agents and the engineering department couldn't fix it!

Well it worked for about 2 downloads and went back to "Cannot connect to iTunes Store." This is driving me nuts.

I have two different apps: iTunes for music, books etc. And AppStore for apps.

They don't work well at the same time. Maybe one of them is downloading something in background, so the other one cannot connect.

Never had the "cannot connect" message since I'm using only one of them at a time

I have tried fixes of sunil and fiona: but they do not work for me.I go to Store and am given option to Sign In. When I "Use Existing Apple ID" I sign in and again am told: cannot connect. When I use "iforgot" nothing happens. Any suggestions?

goldenR my suggestion to you is this...Try not using the Apps Icon on the Ipad Home screen. Instead use Safari and go to the Apple Home Page. Then go to the Apps Store using the Apple link. Then choose your App. It will ask for your password. I bet it will work!! If it does, the fault is at Apple's end regarding your account which you should get them to fix.
