Recently I have facing a lot of errors downloading/updating apps on my iphone, iPad, and from iTunes. It will give me the "can't connect to server" and "unable to download app" error a lot. Sometimes it will work, most times it won't.

I can't tell why is this happening. I have changed my router to NetGear Nighthawk r7000 but I have been using it for few months without this problem. Some researching suggested that I disable any firewalls, but I have no firewalls setup and can't find any in the router's control panel.

This problem started happening after I started to download apps on iTunes and sync them to my iphone and iPad (since iTunes will not sync apps from iOS devices to the computer).

OS X 10.9.5, iTunes 12.3.1, latest iOS
 
I've had this as well. After a reboot of my phone it was fixed. Maybe part of Apple's CDN is having issues.
 
no amount of rebooting is working on the ios device, macbook, or the router
