Q: I am trying to purchase a book but am getting message "unable to connect to iTunes" I've retried several times, wifi is fine for everything else and cellular data is working fine. Any advice?

HI there jj_dooley,

It sounds like you are unable to connect to the iTunes Store so you are unable to make a purchase. I would start with the troubleshooting in the iOS section of thee following article about that very issue:

There is also a more advanced article if you need some additional assistance as well:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities, let us know how that goes!
