How To Fix The “Can’t Connect to iTunes Store” Error In iOS 6

There was a problem a lot of users signaled to us just after the release of iOS 6. It seems that an “Can’t Connect to iTunes Store” error message was displayed to some when trying to connect to Apple’s App Store. While Apple does indeed bring down the App Store in anticipation of a new release, this period is rather short and the above error had nothing to do with it. In this article we’ll teach you how to fix this.

The “Can’t Connect to iTunes Store” error appears even if you have a working Internet connection and the Apple servers are up and running at full speed. Normally you’d get a “Can’t Connect to iTunes Store” error if you’d try and connect to the App Store without having a data connection or WiFi enabled.

There’s no info on this bug just yet and it seems that the “Can’t Connect to iTunes Store” error appears randomly for some users of iOS 6. If you updated your device and when attempting to launch the App Store application you get a “Can’t Connect to iTunes Store” error, here’s how to fix it.

Go to the General menu in the Settings app of your iPhone and you will need to Reset the device’s clock. So select Date & Time and toggle off Set Automatically and enter Set Date & Time. Tap the date button and set the year to 2013 while leaving the month and day setting intact. Now exit and try accessing the App Store again from Passbook.

The “Can’t Connect to iTunes Store” error should be gone now

After this you can set the date back to it’s original year and all will be OK from now on. The “Can’t Connect to iTunes Store” error appears to only a few iOS users and until Apple fixes this with a firmware update the little trick above should set you on the go.
