Q: how would i get my app store working if it says cannot connect to itunes store

Hey Chris,

Since it looks like you're unable to connect to the App store / iTunes store on your iPad, I'd check out the steps under the "Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" section. Follow the following steps and it should resolve the issue:

If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:

• Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
• Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
  • Note: If connected to 3G, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts. 

• Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet. 
• Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
• Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
• If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections or iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.

All the best,

David
