App Store Purchases Screen Greyed Out, Can you see yours?

Hello all, looking in App Store app on iPad 3, Purchase tab shows a Greyed out screen instead of showing the icons of the apps I have purchased. Tried shutting down and rebooting, no fix. Also have an iPad 1 and it has the same problem all of the sudden, don't know why this happened. What's interesting is tapping on the Greyed out screen loads an app dialogue, as if the icons are on the screen, it's just they are not being displayed.


Can you see purchased apps on your iPad's App Store 'Purchased' tab? Wondering if this an App Store bug affecting everyone. Thanks a bunch.

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 5.1.1

...But seriously folks ... Badda bing.


Looks like app updates are working fine. I downloaded a sizable set this morning and the few I have opened are ok.


Checked the Mac news sites and no mention of the issue yet (that's sure to hit later I guess). No way to tell if it is accross the board, or only on some nodes. Only option for now it to wait it out, I suppose.

I'm having the same problem as of last night. The purchases page is blank. There are items on the page as I can tap on the page where things should be and it will open times,, but the page just shows a gray area where the purchases should be. This is only on my iPad. The purchased screen works fine on my iPhone.


Everything else in the app store is working correctly. Only the purchases page is "invisible".


I'm guessing Apple needs to fix this.

Same problem here! For my iPad 3 for the past two days. They need to fix it and apps are not downloading, they are saying waiting.

Probably not the same issue. Updates and new purchases seem to download just fine. The issue is with the purchased app not being displayed in the App Store?


Likely a reset will address your issue?
