Can't connect to App Store after updated iOS 8.1.1 on iPhone 4s

Hi Carson,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

To troubleshoot issues with connecting to the App Store and iTunes Store, please follow the guide outlined below.

Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

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

• Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
  Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
• Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking
  Check for Update
  on your device's Summary page.
• Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
  Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
• Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
• Make sure that 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 persists, try
  troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

I have the same issue; and so do others since there are other similar threads (as well as 15 people on the "I have this problem too" above). It is NOT an issue of someone's wifi not working (c'mon, really?) — it's clearly a bug that needs to be attended to.

What semi-worked for me is what is described here:

I cannot connect to App store since updating to iOS 8 on my Iphone 4

specifically, Settings>iTunes and App store> View Apple ID and confirm password.

But I still had to uninstall-reinstall several apps that were frozen after the 8.1.1 update.

Im having a similar problem with my ipad, after installing iOS 8.1.1 my ipad can connet to the appstore any more and a lot of Apps can connect asiel any more..... Any one an idea?

Common Apple??? Is this really how Steve would have had it??? This is ridiculous. What I had been doing to trick my way in was going to appstore then updates then purchased apps. I would see previously purchased apps and download one to spoof past what ever your latest error in coding is. However now with 8.1.2..... I cant even do this. Please spare us the agony of pablum troubleshooting with WiFi and resolve you issue

Step 1: Launch the Settings app, scroll down and tap on iTunes & App Store.

Step 2: Tap on your Apple ID, and select the ‘Sign Out’ option from the pop-up menu.

Step 3: Re-enter the password to your Apple ID to login again.

You should now be able to open and access the App Store on your iOS device without getting the dreaded “Can’t connect to App Store” error.

Its worked for me

i just updated that and it froze my phone and applestore has no idea what to do

mine is just showing a blank page on all tabs of the app store except for the "Updates" tab. I can't search, can't see anything on "Featured", "Top Charts", "Explore". Just a plain old white screen.

Same problem came up on my iPhone 4s on upgrading to iOS 8.1.2.

This worked for me.

Thank you.

Jim

I have an iPod touch 5 with the same problem. This fix worked for me. Thanks.

Thanks.. iNajim...

this works for me .:)

This did not work for me. I have an iPhone 5s with the latest OS (8.1.2). Everything checks out for internet access and my wifi access. And I using the correct password for the Apple Store. So not sure what to do next...

This worked perfectly. Thanks Najim you are a genius.

Same problem here, I am sick and tired of all these issues with the app store, it happens from time to time and I've tried everything that was suggested in all the related forums with no results. I am ready to give up on Apple products because of how much of a pain this is and what makes matters worse is the fact that nobody knows for sure what to do to fix these stupid problems...
