Cannot connect to iTunes Store

[Edge1978]

I am trying to download an app on my iPhone 5and it keeps telling me "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" I signed out of the store and when I try to sign back in I get the same error.

Anyone else having this issue?

Same thing here. Still have full LTE connectivity. Same for the App Store.

I can't get into both either

same problem but via ethernet and FIOS, so probably not the network.

Same here on the Mac App Store, AT&T U-Verse. Trying to login into my account and just get the spinning wheel on the side.

Same here via Wifi or AT&T LTE or 4G. Even reset my Network setting back to default and then did a hard reset on my iPhone 5. Must be something up with the App Store at the moment.

Odd thing is I can search the App Store but can't download anything!

Not working here on either iPad or iPhone.

 

[IbisDoc]

Trying to set up my new iPad 4 LTE, and I'm getting the same error.

Ok it looks like it's working again.

UPDATE: It's not

Okay, so it's obviously widespread.

Saw this on another post.



Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Below is another thread about issues accessing certain sections of the Apple Store app (sections that require password entry) but they only apply when on Wi-Fi:

Not sure if the two are related but it'd seem at least somewhat likely that they are.
