Ipad doesn't connect too app store

[johnhoward]

For those of you that are having problems connecting to the app store with there iPads , apple are working on a solution but in the mean time here is a quick fix , go to settings and wi fi , head into DHCP Settings page , scroll down to DNS , delete what's there and replace with 8.8.8.8 and your done.

I've worked on this all day and so far it's about the only thing that works until apple can come up with a fix , hope this helps someone.

Cheers

I wonder how this helps? The DNSis assigned to your system by your ISP and not Apple. Having an IP address for a DNS Server of something not assigned to a DNS Server will have a dramatic effect on network performance.

Any logic on your suggestion?

[porkop]

ok, just googled, 8.8.8.8 is indeed a public DNS.

Still what happens to your ISP's DNS's to prevent you from connecting to the App store???

also, cant we survive without an App store for a short time? Are we that hooked on our electronic gadgets????

Thanks none the less for your tip.

All I'm doing is giving a quick fix for people , as for logic well there isn't any when it comes to apple , in my case I'm across the other side of Aus at the moment and I needed to download an app so I can connect with my security cameras at home , I just posted in the hope it would help someone that's all.

You might as well buy an android tablet if you have to use Google's DNS service to make it work (along with Google Maps if you want to go anywhere )

i have a Samsng Galaxy and use that also but i like the bigger screen on my ipad to view my cams back home.

Yeah, was just having an apple stir based on the irony of the situation

Keep wondering porkop you just may work it out , it helps as you put it because it allows you too connect to the App Store , pretty simple really , Dramatic effect on network performance. .....????? Not where I'm standing .
You may want too do some research before you shoot your mouth off and kick tyres buddy

Yea whatever. My point was that why change a DNS to another DNS?

It worked yes, but bandaid fixes are always a bad idea!

I worked it out, but that doesnt mean I cant question the logic!

You go blindly around changing your network settings with little or no understanding as to why, fine by me, I would sooner have made a descision based on understandiung as to why.

Did you change it back???

I would.

like i said porkop keep reading you may work it out , band aid fixes are a bad idea ? why is that ? my band aid fix has allowed me to connect with the App Store to download what i needed so not realy a bad idea.
its had little too no effect on my network
i go around blindly changing network settings with little too no understanding as you put it ? you have no idea what i know about networks and the likes , as i said earlier keep reading buddy you have much to learn and no i havent changed it back , for what reason ?

what is your fcuking problem idiot. I wasn't having a go at you (I am now) I was querying a process you followed.

I was NOT inferring that you did not know what you were doing.

As you say,

you have no idea what i know about networks and the likes

Well the same can be said here. I have worked in computers, electronics and networks for 15 yrs, my last 2 years as a network engineer for a state wide government project, It held together. And I have had no formal training in any of it, must have been good to have been paid 100K/yr to do it!!!!!!

Again, read back, i was not having a go, querying, and you come flying back like I stole your life time supply of extra super small condoms??????

Changing the DNS to a server halfway round the world can have a detrimental affect to perceived page loads, at least for the first access of a page. Googles Public DNS server are usually pretty good though. Often I have seen dismal response times from an ISP DNS server (server overloaded?) that is temporarily fixed by pointing out to another DNS.
It would be interesting to see why changing to Googles public DNS fixed the problem. A test would be to nslookup the App store DNS name against the ISP DNS server and then Googles DNS server (or ping if you don't know nslookup).
Likely the ISP record is stale and Apple had a long TTL on it so it has not refreshed yet.

Now there's a good reply , you crack me up porkop , go take a chill pill and lay down for a while i think your loosing the plot , at the very least i didnt use bad language in here as you did but then again it looks like you have little regard for the possibility that you have younger people in here that can do without that kind of language , autotuner has his finger on the pulse but at the end of the day you do what works and at the time that was what worked nothing more nothing less.

I hope your feeling better porkop.

Cheers

Who lit the fuse on your tampon porkop?

If you don't have a use for it, just let it be and read another thread

Read posts 2 & 3, especially the last line of post 3. I was asking a question, why, nicely, i felt his replies where rather antaganistic, i replied in kind.

Is it not my right? Or should i just sit back and be insulted?

Anyway, over it.........
