iOS 6 App Store Crashing when trying to view Purchased apps

After upgrading to iOS 6 my iPhone 4s can't display purchased apps. I start the App Store, touch updates and then touch purchased. I get a spining circle with Loading... for about a minute and then the App Store just exits and I'm back to the iPhone's first screen.


I've seen similar behavior with my new iPad after updating to iOS6. I haven't seen it crash but when starting App Store and then touching purchased it just stays at a spinning circle and says Loading... It never changes.


I've done the obvious stuff, power cycle and hold both buttons for a reset.

I just upgraded to iOS 6.1, and for the first time it worked with only 2.1 GB available on my 32 GB 4th Gen. iPod Touch, (See the screen-shot I've provided.)


It hasn't worked since upgrading to iOS 6, and I'm still not sure I should hold my breath hoping for it to keep working.


Also, before upgrading to 6.1 it stopped crashing, but still wouldn't display any purchases, only a blank white space where the purchases should be. (see screen-shot 2)


The only thing I could think of doing before upgrading to iOS 6, is freeing up space by deleting app, although I think I've had more then 2.1 GB available space after upgrading to iOS 6.


The problem may have been the Apps or app data, so here's a list of Apps I've deleted before upgrading to 6.1:


  • Simple Racing HD
  • Fairway Solitaire (by: Big Fish)
  • Paradise Cove (aka Tap Paradise Cove)
  • Rinth Island
  • AmbiSci PDR (Body and Mind Utility)



Please reply if deleting any of the above resolve the issue.

Wish I had 1GB free on my 16GB iPhone 5 to put the update on, lol. Plus, until a few days ago, there was and Exchange Server-killing bug in Apple's 6.x Activesync implementation...a calendar bug (that's the reason for the latest, latest update, mostly). This purchased item issue has been annoying me for a month (blank screen)...and it was a shaky item at best, before that in 6.x. It's still better than having to call Apple and beg to redownload your music and apps, though, lol.
