Q: App Store not working on ipad

Hi,

 

The App Store on my new ipad that was working till a few days ago has all of a sudden stopped working now.

When i launch App Store by tapping the icon, it opens up but doesn't show any of the items under Featured, Genius, Top Charts, Categories, Purchased, Updates etc. If there are any updates, i see the App Store Icon showing "update available" mark but doesnt show what update is available.

 

I have seen some discussion on this topic already there on the forum but none seem to have address this problem successfully..

 

Any ideas...?

 

Thanks in advance

    Have you tried closing the App Store app via the taskbar and seeing if it displays properly when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

     

    If that doesn't fix it then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store

    Can't connect to the iTunes Store

    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297

     

    This works for some users. Not sure why.

    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

     

     Cheers, Tom

    Thanks King_Penguin & Texas Mac Man for being so prompt to help.

     

    I tried both the options suggested and here is what i got :

     

    1) I tried closing App Store exactly as suggested by King_Penguin. Unfortunately it dint work

     

    2) I tried setting the Date & Time ahead by a year, a decade etc. This lead to the message "A secure connection could not be established. Please check your Date & Time settings" when App Store options are tapped. But finally no resolution still

     

    Still trying

    Solution:

     

    Go to settings: iTunes store, log off.

    Create a new account, select a different country and tap next. Then exit and confirm.

     

    Open AppStore and every tab will reload and should work!

     

    Login with you apple id and the store will re load and everything will be fixed!

     

    Let me know if it worked for you! This method fixed my AppStore!

    Hey ISymon, Thanks a ton, it worked man.

     

    Somehow i didnt take my pad to the apple service centre, though they were eager to help and kept trying to make app store work with other wifi networks, and interestingly it was working with other wifi networks.

    So i was about to subscribe a connection with more speed, and then I saw your post

     

    I did exactly as what you instructed, and it worked (even with the same country). Now i can see all my app store things in place and am able to updated/purchase apps as well.

     

    Thanks a lot again for the help.

     

    Cheers,

    IOS 6 WIFI FIX FOR NOW!!!!!

     

     

    The only quick fix for now is to reset your Network

     

     

    Setting/General/Reset/Reset Nettwork Settings

     

     

    Make sure you copy your password somewhere. I did so on  Notes so that i could copy and paste.

     

    This will work for a while but the problem keeps coming back in a day or so but at least its a quick fix.

     

    I have the problem on both my Iphone and Ipad 3 with IOS 6

     

    The only other permanent fix is to go back to IOS 5 which I had back when I tried IOS 6 bata and had the same problem which I thought Applw would have Fixed.

     

    Apple better get there act together or Android is going to Kick there *** SOON!

    Rightly said Medina.

     

    The problem has resurfaced and is quite frustrating.

    I will try reseting the network now as suggested by you.

     

    For sure it seems to be a major issue and quite weird.

     

    Cheers,

    I have the same problem. Tried changing the system dates, resetting the network settings, logging off iTunes + creating a new account. Nothing works. Still, on the bright side, I'm saving some cash not being able to purchase apps. Can't beleive Apple messed up with something that fundamentally affects their revenue stream.

    I can't access the app store either! I've tried change the app store locaition (going through the creation of a new account in a different country) but still it doesn't show up anything in the app store, it is all blanck. I tried to reboot the cellphone, reset the network and restart the cellphone as well, nothing worked so far, the only tab that show something is the "genius". Need help asap, i want to spend money but apple is not allowing me to...

    All iTunes apps; i.e., iTunes, iTunes U, Apps, iBooks, Newsstand, will not display Feature, Charts, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Audiobooks on my iPad 3. I can only search and view purchased items. This began three days ago. I downloaded IOS 6 over a week ago.

     

    I tried setting the time ahead to more than 1 year. I reset all the settings. I logged into iTunes with a different ID. Nothing worked. I made all The changes stated above and nothing worked. Each day, I changed the the date to at least a year in the future and it finally and only worked today.
