I can't connect to App Store after iOS 7 upgrade, I can't connect to App Store after iOS 7 upgrade

Hi, I did all the suggested fixes and it did not work. Then I tried to download a new game on the iPad. After excepting the terms and conditions for the iStore everything just started to work again on my other devices. Dont know if that is the fix or all the abouve and that. But, its working again.

What morganplex said did it for me.

I tried the forget iTunes account thing, hard reboot, didn't help.

It was the Safari always-block-cookies setting. I set it back to block ads and everything (iTunes store, Poscast Store) started working again.

i tried all of the suggestions above, in different orders, signing in and out from the app store, from the itunes store, from settings, hard rebooting at different points in the process, on and on for about an hour, then gave up (all i was trying to do was restore the kindle app that vanished with the ios 7 update). A couple hours after giving up, I saw another app I was interested in and just for fun tried to download it, and, voila, the app store/itunes store glitch is gone. I was even able to restore the Kindle app. Very frustrating.

I had the same problem and the solution that worked for me was to go to App Store on iPhone and sign in.

In App Store click the right hand top corner and it will show your wish list.

Remember click on App Store then click on top charts. Then on the right hand top corner u will see a sign(just under the battery icon) press it and it will take you to your wish list and if u r not logged in it will ask u to sigh in and just sign in and that's it.

To check it now just go to settings then click iTunes and AppStore and u will see the details. Thanks.

I tried many other things like hard reset and restore but only this one worked. Thanks again.

"the solution that worked for me was to go to App Store on iPhone and sign in. In App Store click the right hand top corner"

Am I missing something here? If the problem is not being able to connect to the App Store, and your recommended solution requires going to the App Store to implement the fix, how can it possibly work?

This solution worked for me with my other half's iPhone 4S (after trying a lot of the other suggestions!) so give it a try and good luck.

I switched the "Block cookies" setting in Safari from "Always" to "From third parties and advertisers" and then rebooted the phone by holding down the home and on/off buttons simultaneously until the apple logo appeared. Then I went into the store and bingo, I could access iTunes again.

To the person on this forum whose post I read, thank you for your suggestion as now there's a smile back on my hubby's face!

Annoyed that judging from the number of comments here Apple obviously know this is an issue yet when I contacted Apple support this answer wasn't offered. However if I cared to contact the Apple paid-for support team....

This is EXACTLY what I get. I have tried everything, from full restore to recovery mode, then ALL of the tricks combined here. my iPhone will not accept my username and password (just does nothing) when I try to sign in either in the preferences or the iTunes store. And I get nothing but this "Cannot Connect to App Store" screen no matter what I do.

I've had this bug since iOS 7 came out and Apple can't figure it out. I'm pretty unhappy right now.

None of these suggestions work. Apple needs to get on the ball and get this fixed. I tried to call Apple and they want to charge me $19 for the call. Seriously!!!!

There is absolutely no reason for this bug to be going on for so long. I have been a dedicated Apple user for years, but the fact that I cant get help for my issues has me rethinking my dedication. We are not talking days here!!!

ℹ Try this...

None of the tricks described here worked for me. Before trying a wipe/restore, I figured I'd try just connecting to my Mac and doing a sync in iTunes. That worked. Next time I used App Store on the iPhone, I was able to log in. Buuuut... signing back out of App Store caused the problem to come back. I think the key until they get this fixed is to not sign out of App Store once you're signed in.

Try doing a sync in iTunes first, and try never signing out of App Store.

I am having issue on my iPhone 5. iOS 7.03

I have tried everything as ppl mentioned.

Check the time and date, and I also tried to sign in from App Store and from setting as well.

But it won't work for me!

Can someone please help me out.

Completely wiping the phone and then setting it up as if new was the only thing that worked for me. Wiping and restoring from a backup (which would be easier) just brought the problem back. It's a time consuming pain in the neck to setup as new, but it worked when nothing else did.

So this is still an ongoing issue.....

iphone 5

Cannot sign into itune & app store through settings, you click sign in, it does nothing.

Can sign when purchasing an app through the itunes app itself, but doesn't matter, it tells me unable to purchase, please try again later. Doesn't matter if it's free or a paid app, same result.

So right now I have an iphone that you can't get apps on b/c something is broke.....

Oh, apple support fixed my issue and closed the case.....trying to get them to help is like trying to get an act of god right now.

i think u missed the point. i have tried every single option. restart my iphone, i even tried my app id and pass on my friend iphone. it is work on his iphone. but when he tried his id on my didnt work! dont answer

i finally decided to reset from itune, i have deleted everything and still same thing,

does anyone know what is wrong with my iphone?

please dont answer same things others said. i want to hear from somebody who really know about iphone?

thnak you

I had to go into Settings>iTunes & App Store>click on your apple ID> choose "View Apple ID". Click Payment information. Fill in the Security Code where it says required and re-enter the expiration dates of the credit card. Then it worked!

THIS SOLVED MY PROBLEM.

After over 2 months of frustration and trying all the "tricks" here on the message board, I, too, was contemplating going to the Apple store to get a replacement. But I figured, what the heck, let's try a few things. Finally, here's what worked for me:

WARNING: Be sure all of your valuable data, contacts, emails and photos are saved either to iCloud or on your computer (photos to iPhoto for the Mac, for instance). You will be wiping this phone repeated times. No data will be saved when you do this. So SAVE FIRST.

1) Connect the iPhone to the iTunes store and use the 'Restore' aspect to restore the phone to factory spec.

2) DO NOT reinstall your saved backup. You will indicate that this is a NEW PHONE.

3) When you iPhone is restored, start it, but DO NOT enter or sign in with your Apple or iCloud ID. Your phone will look like it's completely empty with none of your info and just the bare minimum Apple apps, but there is still data lurking in there. Nothing harmful, but something that's keeping it from operating completely properly.

4) Go to Settings> General> Reset and select "Reset All Settings." This will further scrub your iPhone of any data. I had to do this TWICE. You can, too, it won't hurt the phone.

5) Connect to your wifi then tap the iTunes and App store to see if they will come up properly. Try logging in and see if you can download a free app or one you have already purchased.

6) If it works (you can believe I was happy when mine did) sign in on your phone with your Apple/iCloud ID and get all your contacts and calendar info. I would suggest NOT trying to use a backup of the phone as you may reintroduce the problem. You will have to manually add all of your other email accounts and manually re-download all of your apps, kind of a pain, but I took it as a chance to reorganize my phone and do some "housecleaning."

If this doesn't work, you probably need a new phone.

Good luck!
