I've been having problems with the Mac App Store ever since I installed Mountain Lion.


As soon as I load it up, the window appears as normal, but I just a grey cogwheel spinning in the top left (I think) corner, and it stays like that till I force quit it.


I really need it to work so I can redownload the Mountain Lion installer, as I'm having a lot of other major issues with ML, and I want to do a clean install to hopefully fix the problem. I thought I'd be able to make a USB drive or DVD installer after I'd installed ML, but I forgot the installer deletes itself after installation. So now I'm completely stuck, as an installation via Recovery Disk has no effect whatsoever.

Apps store not working after iOS 6 upgrade.

Went to Apple authorised store in Kolkata India. They wanted to charge me even though my iPad is just three months old. I did not leave my iPad with them because I did not think they know anything about how how to solve this problem. All they could think of is to wipe out everything from my iPad and reload it with IOS 6 and then I would have to reload all the apps myself. It may not be difficult to do because I have backed up my iPad on iTunes. In any case, I did not think it would solve the problem. I would rather wait in this forum to find an answer or Apple to come up with a upgrade of iOS 6.

Yes I tried that, didn't work for me. I tried another hint someone said telling us to go to Settings, go to Date and Time, change "set to automatically" to off and then go in and change year to 2013. It then said turn wifi off and back on again and that the issue should be resolved. It did resolve the Charts tab, I can now see the charts however the Featured tab still doesn't work. It's really weird. Hope they figure out what's causing it! Thanks for the tip though!

I followed the same steps I put in my last post a second time and now my features tab word so my issue has been resolved! I encourage others with this issue to try those steps and if it doesn't work the first time try it again. After I changed year to 2013 I turned wifi off and the rebooted iPad, I turned iPad back on enabled wifi and checked App Store and issue resolved. I then went back into settings and under Date and a time switched it back to automatic and everything's working great! Hope it helps you guys!
