My problem sounds similar but after I downloade IO6 I trided to down load my apps but I have all the apps that I downloaded for free, but all the apps that I paid money for have disappeared and when I downloaded the the new I-tunes version about two weeks ago I lost some of the album art work that I used to have and even bought from the I tunes store. What the heck!!!

Time for a mea culpa, my "duh" moment. After many times trying to log in to the iTunes store after updating to iOS 6 and getting denied, I went to my Keychain (place to keep passwords on a Mac for you PC folks) and found that there is a capital letter in my password. Since the iPad remembered my password previously, I hadn't entered it in some months. Used the capital letter and voila, I'm in and can now access the iTunes store and do updates from my iPad.


User error wins again. Thanks to all for the suggestions and hope the rest find success. The joys of a new operating system.


And, Jasmine - YouTube Client is a good replacement for the missing YouTube app.

I installed ios 6 earlier without any problems. However when I try to download an app it tells me I have to make 3 security questions. So I do this and every time it tells me that my session has timed out when I submit them. I've tried making sure the time and date are right. I've also tried signing out of my apple Id and back in. Nothing helps. Is there a way to fix this?

I did all that too. Same frustrating story.

Then I called Tech support and gave my serial number to an automated system.


Coincidentally, or magically, when I tried to download apps again, it worked! No 3 security questions to be answered!

I also at same time received a receipt of an app I paid for last week. Like something "cleared". Maybe the 5000000 iPhone 5s that were sold in the last 3 days have been blocking system up.

Good luck.
