Hi all. Im requesting a lil help. Last night I restored my iPad 1 to 4.3.3 via tiny umbrella. All went fine. I noticed now that I cannot access the app store and iTunes from my springboard. It says (cannot connect to iTunes store). Password and user are correct. I attempted restoring twice more, same results. any suggestions? Thanks on advance.

I'll move this to the Hacking section, but leave a redirect in the original location for a day.

Did you try to reboot? As in, hold sleep/hold buttons down until screen goes dark and the white Apple logo appears (slide to unlock screen may/may not appear).

That sometimes allows the iPad to reset itself after adding tweaks.

Let us know how it goes.

I tried rebooting and a reset. No luck. It continues to say "cannot connect to iTunes store" when attempting to connect from my springboard. I restored via the shift/restore process as to bypass the 4.3.4 update. Should I re download the firmware again from a trusted site and restore again? 4 restores today with 4.3.3 firmware and no luck. I even tried on another laptop with same negative results. results!

Okay - first, a caution. I have no idea what's going on ... so we'll have to try to work through various "fixes" to see if you/we can figure out what's going on...

1. On one of your many returns to 4.3.4, were you able to access the App Store then? Maybe you just need to "break through"...

2. Did you follow the steps in this sticky (http://www.ipadforums.net/jailbreak...815-how-downgrade-your-ipad-ios-firmware.html) when you downgraded to iOS 4.3.3?

3. Did you jail break the iPad after the restore? Maybe doing so (via JailbreakMe.com, as it's the easiest) may help...?

Or, maybe try going with a fresh IPSW file of iOS 4.3.3, either from our link here or another trusted site.

That's all I can think of for now. Hope something there helps. Let us know?
