I am having trouble connecting to the App Store.

I have tried to connect to the App Store and keep getting a message ..unable to connect to iTunes stores. When I go to the iTunes icon I can connect iTunes but not apps. Any help?

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.


This works for some users. Not sure why.

Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

I have been struggling with access to itunes through PC for years. This may not be applicable to you but throw it in anyway. Cannot be sure its a fix but this just worked for me:

It resets hosts file or something. It was an absolute last resort after rebuiding PC, iphone et al which took forever yet this simple tweak fixed it. What I do not know is what it has done elsewhere....
