App Store Updates (but only Updates) cannot connect to iTunes Store

fixed my issue - thanks

Well, I would just try to mess around with all the remedies that there are such as: restarting your iPhone, going to the date and just setting the year to 2030 and changing the day and time forward too. Just try doing it a couple times but changing it up a bit every time. I would also just say wait it out a bit because it sounds like it's not a normal problem with a lot of iPhone. But after experimenting, let me know how it goes. I'd like to know what happens.

i have been having this problem for over a month now and i kept tryin new dates to try and resolve the problem.. i had to go to the last year available.. i would deffo make sure you change the day and month too not just the year .. 22 updates laters its all workin fine .. thank you xx

However, I waited a couple of hours and things have changed for the better. I suspect now it's something on Apple's side because I was having all sorts of other problems with my Apple ID on my iPod but not on my Mac earlier today that have gone away without any intervention on my part. For example, earlier today if I tapped Updates and then tapped Purchased I got an error message. Now, it works fine. Also, I can download new apps which I couldn't do earlier today.

A few years ago I also had a similar problem that also cleared itself after a day or today. The consensus then was it was some sort of issue on Apple's side. So, I suspect updates will work next. Either way, I will follow-up.

Well, everything went back to normal on Tuesday (the 4th) without any intervention on my part.😕 I can update apps on my iPod Touch again. Also, all the other things related to my Apple ID that didn't work over weekend (e.g., checking past purchases) work fine. I wish I had a solution for those of you still having this problem. 😟 For me it looks like it was just a temporary glitch over the long weekend.

Did all that, still no go!😠

Big Thx to schan20 , I changed my Time and then reset my settings(nothing erased) and.....walla , Problem that stupid apple support 4 time couldn't solve .

Mucho Grasias Dude.

Almost six month problem fixed and the updates are coming again on my IPad2 .

Lots of love from Hot Israel .

i'm trying to change date but it stays on todays date after I go back to to date time in settings. There must be a way to log in a different date.

Thanks it finally worked and I'm updating every app on the device.

Thank you Schan20

I tried everything, your advice is the only one that works:

Settings > General > Date and Time > Change Date to 2 years from now > go back to App Store > Notification will show "This iPod touch hasn't been backed up in 104 weeks. Backups happen when this iPod is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wifi" > go back and change Date and Time to today > it should work now

if not, try these (didn't work for me, but you might want to give it a shot)

1) Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions > (wait a few seconds) > Disable restrictions

2)Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and restart device
3) Settings > Wifi > Press on blue arrow of the wifi you want to use > Forget this network > Restart device
4) Uninstall and reinstall iBooks
5) Settings > General > Date and Time > turn off "Set Automatically" / Verify that time zones and time are correct, if not adjust

6) reset ipod

The changing the date then changing it back worked for me. I set it to 2013. iPod Touch 4th Gen, iOS 5.1.1.

I had five updates waiting. This technique worked on one but does not seem to be working on the others. Strange.

Thank you. this helped me so much

I have a dumb question. How do you change the date?

Thanks for the specific directions! It worked!!! Thanks!!!

Changing the date worked for me!
