Unable to find the App Store I only see the Apple Store on my iPad The App Store has been deleted off my iPad and replaced with the Apple Store. The Apple Store is for purchasing hardwire like computers, phones and accessories not applications. The Apple Store has no link to any applications. How am I suppose to update applications through the App Store when it appears I no longer have access to the App Store? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
