App download buttons not working.

iPhone 3GS.


Whenever I go into a specific app in the app store, none of the buttons work properly.


1) clicking on the price no longer downloads the app,

2) the ratings button does nothing,

3) the 'tell a friend' and 'git this app' buttons jump back to the top of the app window,

4) pictures usually don't show up. They usually appear as five gray rectangular boxes with white borders (though in one app one too-large-for-the-window picture shows up (see pic),

5) the 'app support' button still goes to the developer's website.

6) the 'top in-app purchases' banner is just text now.


Has anyone experienced this?

In Express Lane


1) Open Link


2) Choose Product

(for iPod touch) iPod -> iPod touch -> iTunes Store, App Store or iBookstore

(for iPhone) iPhone -> iTunes Store, App Store or iBookstore


3) Choose Issue Description: "My topic is not listed" and then type unable to use iTunes Store or App Store"

then fill in the details. You may leave Item title and Order number empty.


4) Fill in your information and then write a description of your problem with as much details as you can, to help apple solve the problem.


5) Press "Send"

Hello everyone.. I DID get a response from the express lane complaint I sent. The rep told me to go to "settings", "general" and "restrictions".. He said that they are probably enabled and that's the problem. Sorry to say, it was NOT the problem. All the restriction buttons were disabled. So I DID get a response, but it did NOT help 😟. I wrote back to him saying thanks but no thanks. So we're back at square one... 😟

utah, i got a response too & emailed back saying it didnt help (apple support seem to think the problems with the phone not the app store which it clearly is)

Ive notified BBC TV's watchdog also & anyone in the UK should join in too.

I still havent had a reply after I emailed back stating apples help didnt help! (though the person did ask me to email back if it still didnt work)

If I get a reply (helpfull or not) Ill let you all know.

I got two responses already, first about calling Apple Support in my country 🙂😁 and second one with some steps to do (like syncing with iTunes etc). Of course there wasn't anything I didn't try before. The Apple buddy also wrote that he spoke to his supervisor about the problem, but he "was unable to get any information on why iOS 3 users are unable to use the app store properly" from him. I replied again and CLEARLY explained that the problem lies on AppStore's side. Also asked to inform the supervisor's supervisor about the prob.

We will see......................................... or not 😀 greets
