"Cannot connect to iTunes store"

So many replies!😮

You are the greatest. Nothing I had done fixed the issue until I did the date thing. Issue was going on so long that I had 38 updates. Mr philkok is the real deal.

Thank you, Mr. Philkok. Just tried it 5 minutes ago and it worked like a charm.

Thank you Mr Philkok. That did the trick 🙂

THANK YOU! (yes, I'm shouting!)

I have searched everywhere for a solution and nothering worked ... I figured this was a long shot .... but ...Voila!

I can't believe it!

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you MrPhilkok! ! ! ! !

It wasn't working for me either. I ended up moving the year out about 13 years and then it worked.

Didn't work for me. 😟 I moved the date to the furthest available. It paused my phone for several minutes, then it restarted itself. I got the not secure messages for the server, etc. I clicked okay on all of those, then went to app section and got the same "Cannot Connect to Itunes Store". Set the time to auto and went to the app store and got it again. SO FRUSTRATING!!!

The only way to update apps is by updating them on my pc, then syncing. I've tried all the other tricks. I can't connect here or at work. But I can download new apps, surf the itunes store, everything. I just can't update my apps without using the sync mode with my pc. Grrrr.....

Worked for me too, but I did have to do it twice. Thanks Mr Philkok!

Why are we all commenting here!? There are so many UNANSWERED questions out there.

It seems that the habit to change the date for game hacking lead all of us in this page... 😉

Letting the iphone making connections with itunes with a wrong date installed seems to be the reason that creates the problem...

iPhone needs proper date & time settings in order to achieve a secure connection needed to download updates.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 in this section it is written:

Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)

iOS:

1. From the home screen, tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
2. If the option exists, turn off Set Automatically.
3. Verify the time zone and time (in the status bar) are correct for where you are currently.
4. If not, adjust the incorrect setting accordingly.
5. If everything was correct and the option exists, turn on Set Automatically.

If this doesn't help you it could be a different reason creating your problem like pending downloads where the itunes guys from apple could help you by reseting your downloads...

You could also try reseting your iphone if you don't have enough to loose...

No fix is guranteed as it seems that there are different factors creating the same problem

Thank you Mr Philkok!

Solved my problem on first try. And I did make a date adjustment for a game (the date/time change adjustment was required for an achievement, but I can't remember which game it was now....).

Thanks for that, it worked perfectly where nothing else did. 🙂

Agreed with everyone else--Mr. Philkok's solution works! Thanks a lot!

I tried it first and only set it a few years ahead and it didnt work, but then I set it for 2033 and it worked like a charm! I was dreading driving to the apple store to have them fix it! Thank you!

This worked for me, but required extra steps. To make this work I did the following:

1. Quit my wifi netowrk.

2. Change the date forward

3. Reconnect to the network

4. Quit netowrk again

5. Changed date back

6. Reconnected

7. Went to app store... no problem!
