Re: App store can't connect

Happens to me ocasionally as well, try a power cycle (off and on again), or a hard reset (hold power and home till you see the apple startup screen).

When i`ve had the problem it usually sorts itself out.

And, for the record, you can access the App Store over 3g and purchase Apps as long as they are under 10mb.

Re: App store can't connect

Ive had a couple of occasions where ive been unable to do things within the store. Its comes up with a message

" we are unable to carry out your itunes store request. The network connection has timed out.. please check your cables etc "*

It passes the connectivity tests within itunes.

Ive learnt when it does that juyst to leave it and try a few hours later as it seems to sort itself out after a while.


* and of course my network and cables are fine.
