App Store search not working on iPad2 all of a sudden. . Using IO6.
iPad 2, iOS 5
Same problem here on the iPad 3. Seems to have started the past couple days. I try and view "featured" or "charts" and I only see a blank page.
probally due to a slow connection b/c ios 6 redirects data to a wifi network, this is why you dont go downloading unstable operating systems
I am using iPhone 5. The feature and search tab will only show loading. A few seconds later just a blank screen. Currently using home network. I can't even download apps now
This happens on my Verizon LTE and home wifi. Both very strong signals, better be cause I pay a lot for them! The OS was stable and fine at first, are you insinuating I jailbroke mine? Cause I don't jailbreak anything.
And let me throw in that I can still see pending app updates and install them. So the App Store is only broken for new apps.
It also works perfect on my AT&T iPhone 5 both wifi and LTE. My Verizon iPad 3 ("The New iPad")is the problem. Both are updated to iOS 6.
I'm using iPhone 5 and I see the same blank screen whether I am on wifi, 4G or LTE. I can still download updates by the search isn't working.
I talked to Apple tech support yesterday with the support person concluding my IPad is functionally normally. She stated the problem may be with the App Store, which of course is no help at all. I still cannot search the App Store with my IPad. Very disappointing Apple support.
I have the same problem, only on New iPad. Search goes to a blank page after it says loading. iPhone 5 and 4s still work correctly. All have iOS6 and wifi, everything else operating normally just the search.
After reading all the various threads and trying all the so called fixes changing the date etc I decided to fix it properly.
Firstly plug in ipad/iphone into laptop and do a backup using itunes, noteing the time.
Next restore it to factory settings and set up as new ipad.
Now check if the appstore is working...... It was.
Do another restore but this time restore from the backup made at the start time.
Once it has done that the appstore search is back to normal.
I've been checking this daily and now all of a sudden it works for me!! I didn't make any changes, just started working.
Good luck all! :)
I have iPad 2 with ios6. I didn't have a problem until tonight. I've tried all the suggestions except for restoring to factory settings and then restoring from most recent backup.... I'm hoping I don't have to go to this drastic of a step. :-(
As of last night I can now search the App store. I had also lost the abiltiy to view Featured apps etc until last night. I guess it's IOS6 magic. 😟 Good luck everyone!
Bob.. 🙂
Has there been anything more from the App Support? I've currently got the "blank screen of death" and don't want to have to factory reset my phone?!
Anyone had any more help with this?
