App store on my ipad air says "you can't use this apple ID, please sign in with another"? Why, there's nothing wrong with my account?

This message keeps appearing "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" when I try to sign in on the app store. Why is it doing this and how do I fix it?

OK...I think I have found a solution. In settings, select tunes & app store. Instead of signing in with an existing ID, act as if you are creating a new one itunes ID. Follow the steps up to the point where you create a new ID. (Basically, you need to agree to the itunes terms and conditions.) Do not create a new ID and cancel out of the set-up. Now that you've accepted the terms, it should let you sign on using your existing ID. Let me know if this works for anyone with the same issue.
