Can't connect to itunes store with ipad 3.

I also had this problem on my iPad (but not on my iPhone). It only affected updates - new app purchases were fine. It's resolved now... the solution was to go into the Settings --> General --> Date & Time --> Set Automatically = OFF.. then manually set the date, just moving the year forward a few years. Go back to app store and it will tell you something about being unable to sychronise with server. Go back to Settings app and switch the Set Automatically (date & time) option back to ON. Go back to app store, and hey presto, your app updates should (hopefully) appear now.

It was all probably down to the fact that i'd been messing about with the dates while cheating at CSR Racing! 😉

I'll be ******. Doctor_Tee's solution worked.

Thank You!!

Wow I tried everything on every post for over 2 hours...and this worked! Thanks so much!

That is a ridiculous solution, but it worked for me too! Thanks!

Holy crap it worked. Great find!

I don't know how you knew that, I'm just glad you did. It worked great. Genius Doc T

That was a ridiculous, seeming random solution. But thank goodness you found it! Worked for me, too. Many thanks!!!!

Doctor_Tee - GENIUS!! Bizarre how you found it, bizarre that it works, but it DOES work! Spent hours trying to figure out how to get out of this problem. you're awesome!
