Q: cannot connect to itunes store

No need to update anything, it seems to be working for everyone now, of course no word from Apple on what happened... Just had to be patient... Now, don't get me wrong, issues happen all the time, things go wrong etc. but great customer service Apple in admitting there is an issue let alone advising customers of an outage....I

Well.  Magically, I got up this morning and was able to buy apps. I did NOT change, add or do anything to my credit card info. I did NOTHING and now it works. Not so sure that adding the credit card info had anything to do with it. It evidently was not the issue in my case.

No changes made to my account or billing either, just had to wait for Apple to get the service back up.  Disappointing thing is that their iTunes Store application is not designed to tell customers when it is down, leaving us to waste our time trying to troubleshoot. Very disrespectful. Amazon it is not.

I signed out in the app store in settings and then

signed back in.  That allowed me to connect.

I have had this problem for days, just seen your post and tried it - but it won't even let me update the billing details (or remove them) because - you guessed it - cannot connect to iTunes store!!!!

Am getting madder! Any ideas anyone?

For days now. When is this going to be over

can't connect on mac or ipads. I get the new security question screen, but when I hit "done" it says "can't connect to iTunes store." this has been going on for a week. VERY annoying. now buying books from barnes & noble and music from amazon.

I am stilll having problems with this on my iPad. I thought all along it was on my end until I found this forum! It is intermittent for me. Sometimes it connects and other times it times out saying I can't connect to the iTunes store at this time. This is very frustrating!

Hi all,

This is a general reply to this problem. I had downloaded SPEEDBIT. I tried getting rid of it but could only wipe half of it as it 'was not fully configured'. Acting on a hunch I reloaded SPEEDBIT (I still could not access Itunes Store) and then removed it, this time with success! Itunes now fine and as a bonus start up time reduced (back to normal). So if, dear reader, you have uploaded SPEEDBIT or anything similar loose it NOW.

PS I had previously reinstalled Itunes so this may have helped as well.

Good luck

Kim:)

This fixed it...Many thanks. Apple should add this tip to its knowledge base.

I tried that but it did not work for me. It continued to do the same thing, so I gave up trying to fix it. However I will say, since the latest update i have not had anymore problems connecting.
