App Store on iPad won't show all items

Since last night, i haven't been able to browse for more than one page of apps in the UK App Store on my iPad2.

Let's say, i search for "Apple" via the search field, it then shows me two groups, one for iPad and one for iPhone/iPod.
If i then press "View all" on either of the two groups, i see the first 12 apps, but even there might be +100 apps, i am not able to scroll on the arrows - they are grey, like there ain't no more apps.

If i then change the search fields from "iPad only" to "All", all app-icons disappear, the arrows becomes white - but still not responding.

Another scenario:
From the front page of App Store, I go to Featured and select "What's hot" - everything works fine, i can browse pages of apps, without any problem.

If i then go to "Top Charts", scroll down and tap "Show more", i get the next 10 items to see as well, but the "Show more" is grey with a spinning wheel, seeming like it is loading, but nothing more happens.

I have tried to restart the device, warm and cold to no avail, sync'ed etc, and would really like to avoid restoring my iPad.

Any of you others, who've seen this behavior?

MBP 15", Mac OS X (10.6.7), iP4, iPad2

Hello everyone, I have the same problem. I have an ipad 2 and it started yesterday where I go see the "top apps" in the app store on my ipad and when i click on "more apps" it downloads the next page of apps, but after that the "more apps" button keeps showing it's loading and I can't look at more appsUser uploaded file I tried restarting the ipad but to no success. Any help? Or will it just correct itself eventually?

Having the same issue as well here. Tried everything the OP tried as well short of restoring.

Other issue I'm having is that the iPad is not recognizing all of my already installed apps. The App Store doesn't show them as "Installed" even though they're already there on my iPad. I think it's showing it correctly for the paid apps, but not the free apps.

As a follow-up, i have now tried to restore my iPad.
I have also tried to login with another account, but no difference at all.
Unfortunately, there is no change, except from one thing:

If going to "Featured" and then selects "Whats hot", viewing all, i can now go BACK once, then forward twice, and then backwards all the way through these 49 apps.

Stupid error that doesn't make sense at all 🙂

The app store on my iPad 2 is majorly screwed up today. Things I've seen wrong:

1. In list views (featured, top, etc), it doesn't show any apps I have installed as being installed, with the exception of the first one. If I tap the app it does show as installed, but it will let be download or buy apps that are already installed from list screens.

2. I can't rate or review apps I own. It simply won't do anything.

3. Ironically, I can rate and review apps I don't own. That's something that you aren't supposed to be able to do.

Those are the ones I've noticed. I'm sure there's more. I'm still on 4.3.1 as I haven't updated yet, but I'm fairly certain this is a server problem.

I sent an email to Apple support about this.
