Can't update apps on the iPhone 4

Hi,


since 3 days I haven't been able to update apps on my iPhone 4 (english translation from German : "connection to iTunes Store not possible"). Purchasing apps is still possible on the iPhone, updates work via PC and iTunes. It's just pretty tedious to connect evertime to a PC just for checking for new updates. I have the iOS 5.1.1. installed.


iTunes support team gave me advices like "switch iPhone off and on" and "sign off from the Apple store and sign on again", which were of course first things I tried.


I hope you experienced guys can give me some hints how to get rid of the problem.

I have similar problem.


I tried to Sk8Dreams way but the problem still persist. I tried to do it a few times to make sure that I followed the order but it didn't work. It was quite strange.


I then did the following steps.


I closed all apps running at the background and then power OFF the phone.


Turn ON the phone and then set the Date & Time to Automatically OFF and the apps started to download.Yes I set the date & time Auto to OFF after I complete Sk8Dreams steps.


Strange it worked for me.


Thanks Sk8Dreams for the steps!
