IPad Won't connect to iTunes Store

I am trying to add some apps through my iPad But my iPad won't connect to the iTunes Store. I keep getting "Unknown error" and an offer to retry or cancel. I know it's the correct password. I have shut it down and re-started it but get the same result. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time. The IOS is the current one with no updates. My IPad is connected to my wireless network.

Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.


Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.


Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

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.
