App Store not working

Hi I'm not able to access my App Store any more,any tab I hit when in it it pops up with "cannot connect to iTunes Store" I went to check to see if my Id was enabled in the settings and it is,however when I go to view my Id via the settings it goes to load up and then redirects me back to where I was...Any ideas?

Same with me, it happens on and off. Though i get the same message all the time when i go to to app store from the Passbook app (is there anything in there for us yet?)

I just put it down to the battering the servers are getting and all will be well in a few days when things calm down.

Ya this has happened me a few time. It's just the Apple servers are under pressure with everyone downloading the new iOS6 and everyone backing up their devices to iCloud before they update. Added to this a lot of popular apps (particularly apple ones) have updated to support the new iOS 6 and with iOS 6 you don't have to input your password so more people are updating apps more often. It comes and goes but is nothing to worry about as it will be find in a day or two when the initial wave of traffic to apple servers has passed.

@Zhane
no passbook stuff for us yet but you can create your own temp ones if you want to see what they are like at http://www.passsource.com/

Go to "Settings" -> "iTunes & App Stores" and make sure your logged in.

I get "session timed out" instantly when I try to download an app on a 4s. Anyone had this problem or is it probably related to heavy traffic from the ios6 thingummy?

I had one large app timeout while downloading but it worked 10 minutes later. I think it's all related.

I had the same problem, but found a fix for the App Store issue. Go to settings, put your date forward a year ( it will turn off iMessage) go to App Store and it will work. Just go back then to change your date/time settings to automatic (which will fix your date change) and turn back on iMessage. Now the App Store should work and passbook will also access the App Store
