iPhone 5S - App Store - Cannot connect / Strange behavior.
I picked up a 5S on launch day to replace my 4S. Brought it home and tried to do a backup from my 4S that was upgraded to iOS7. I was unable to do that, so I set the phone up as a new phone and proceeded to download all my old apps from iTunes / App store.
iTunes downloaded the 7.0.1 update. Installed without a problem.
When I try to access the App store now, I immediately get a message that says "Cannot Connect to App Store" - then another one pops in behind it. When I click "cancel" another "Cannot Connect to App Store" pops up (3 total).
The things I have tried so far:
- Forced reset of iphone
- Remove Apple ID and re-enter on phone
- Change date / time from automatic on phone and access app store (didn't work)
- Restore iPhone from Mac Pro ("iTunes could not restore the iPhone because an error occured.) Well gee, that was helpful.
I spent all morning organizing 14 pages of apps into folders. My next step is to do a full reset on the phone, wipe out whatever backup I had of it on my Mac Pro, and start over. I'd really, really like to avoid that step.
Any suggestions on what possibly could have happend / how to fix it?
Thank you,
Andy
iPhone 5s, iOS 7
