Q: cannot connect to itunes store on ipad
-
Nov 27, 2012 9:23 AMby lkcsc,I don't mean to make light of any of this, but after fighting and fighting with my phone I finally gave up for about a week and assumed the worst. Then, I tried one last time and everything worked just like it should and I am once again happy. Yeah, it was most annoying, but it did all work out OK.

Nov 28, 2012 5:58 PMby nmyers,Exactly. They issue this dramatic apology for their crap maps program- how about an apology for all the other crap?
Cannot connect to iTunes Store, ipad 3 wifi woes, iOS *****...ahem, 6..
How many threads are their for the first 2 mentioned issues? Don't even know. Obviously, people are having issues with this crApple crap- would Apple ever consider fixing it? Or do we have to traverse the vast Internet landscape to find issues?
All this overpriced crap tech they have released in the recent year..
The iPhone 5 is my last apple purchase. Rarely does any of the current crap they have put out work properly.

Dec 2, 2012 5:32 AMby frankpgh,Setting the date 2 months ahead of the current date fixed the issue for me. I had tried just about everything else mentioned. Once I set the date 2 months ahead, I was able to get into Updates and do an UPDATE ALL
This is just POOR design and development. No more Apple produts.

Dec 5, 2012 7:06 AMby JimNim,Date changing trick didn't fix it for me (tried a few days, a few months, and a year ahead), but updates can still be accessed individually from the "purchased" section at the very least...
frankpgh, if you get fed up with an entire brand everytime you run across a bug, you're gonna have a bad time. No software product makes it to market completely bug-free, and this is actually a very minimally problematic issue.
If a date change forward/back seems to be fixing this for people and the issue isn't beginning for all at the same time (posts on here are several months old), the issue is likely due to some time of corruption within a local database on the device and not on "Apple's end" within servers.
Anyone have any luck with alternate fixes aside from the date change trick?

Dec 5, 2012 7:16 AMby frankpgh,I have worked for software companies and in the industry all of my life. I don't need a lecture. This type of error, unresloved for years is unacceptable. You can go stick an Apple sticker on the back of your car if you want, but there's no reason for the number of problems I encounter with Apple products. I don't have these issues with my Droid products. When I do have issues, they get reported and resolved.

You gotta be freakin kidding me. This isn't some new piece of beta software. This is ≥ 5.0! Really?? - it should NOT have bugs and at the very least with all of the people having problems, it SHOULD have been addressed by Apple long ago. I agree with frankpgh - I was set to buy the new iPad this xmas. This changed my decision.

Dec 5, 2012 8:19 AMby Finchenzo,Ok this worked for me... On your COMPUTER go to iTunes and make sure your iPad is connected to iTunes.Then go to your apps library and on the bottom right you click UPDATES AVAILABLE.Then on the next screen u press download all free updates in the top right corner.And HEY PRESTO.I hope this works for you as it did for me!!!!!! note. I had to update iTunes to version 11 to do this!

Thank you so much for figuring this issue out. I had to set my time to the furthest time out. Closed all of my open apps. Turn off iPad, back on after 10 seconds. That fixed everything but the update issue. Then I went to solution #7 and repeated the closing of the apps and restarting iPad. Works great now. Thanks again!
