when i try to download an app it says open only

Since udating to ios6 my apps have gone on my sons touch 4g. When i log in to app store and search for one it says 'open' only and not 'free' 'instal' or anything else. When I go to updates and purchased tab I am able to download some of them but others just say 'open' - how's this? Thanks folks

I just upgraded my 4s to ios6 yesterday, and most of my icons have disappeared. what is strage is that they didn't even reappear after I was offered, and downloaded/installed, updates for many of the missing programs.


How can I get my icons back on the desktop??


thanks --

I found the answer to my question in another thread, and wanted to post it here (with thanks to impious rocker):



Try:

SETTINGS - GENERAL - RESET - RESET HOME SCREEN LAYOUT
