Cannot connect to iTunes store

[Mickey330]

Oh boy...I am having the same problem. I keep getting the same message for both downloading or updating an app...which reads "Unable to connect to iTunes store." I have done or checked on everything that is said in here. Soft reset, updated iTunes, date and time... and still nothing works. This is so frustrating. Anybody out there with bright ideas? Thanks.

I don't think it's you, iichiko. I've been reading that there is (has been?) an unexplained outage at the app store that is affecting people world-wide. No word on when it will be fixed (if it isn't already) or what caused it.

So, all I can recommend is to try again later.

Thanks for the advice Mickey330. I thought it was me being a newbie.

Morning All, I'm having the same problem. Also cannot up-grade iTunes. Hope Apple knows they have a problem.

Thank you Marilyn...I already spent hours trying to figure out a solution..but I guess, you're right. I should go to sleep first. I hope the guys at Apple can figure out something soon.

Thanks Marilyn,
I'll just wait it out.

iTunes started working again about 12 minutes before I posted this.

No. Mine still isn't working.

No. Mine still isn't working.

Maybe different regions will start working again at different times. I made this screenshot just now.

Might be. It's 4.28 in the afternoon here. Thanks I'll keep trying.

I literally went to sleep and the elves started working. When I woke, its now fixed. So, for this issue, I'd guess you'd say, "I'ts not your set folks."

Have been having this same problem for days now, only seems to affect iPad, iPhone seems to be ok, any suggestions please. I am not a noob, I am an it professional, this problem seems to have been doing the rounds for a while looking at the forums, so any input would be appreciated
