iphone 5 App Store blank... help!

The App store on my iphone is blank! I tried to close the app through task bar, off & on the phone, still its not working!

Only page that is working in App store is the Genius & Updates page, nothing else.

Please help!

I've changed the date to 2013 and didn't work.

Also, it´s stupid because now they charged me to activate AGAIN the Facetime and iMessage. Since it's a international number, was almost €0,50 each.


This is stupid, because we need to activate both instead of just ONE activation for Facetime and iMessage....


It's Apple fault... not user fault. This looks like the Wi-Fi bug when iOS6 was released!


Btw, iPhone 4 user.

For a person with a iPhone almost full, like mine, with Apps, Games, Photos, Videos, and many other stuff... restoring it's not a easy task... 10 minutes? Not even close.


If the AppStore worked fine before and now doesn't work, something went wrong in Apple server side. And for me it's almost 3 days without AppStore.

I think that the date thing is a bit of a red herring - well it was for me.


From your home screen if you double click your home button you get a list of apps across the bottom. Hold your finger down on one of the apps until they start shivering and little red no-entry circles appear in the top left corner of each of the apps listed. Go to the app store logo in this list and press the red circle to properly close it.


Press the home button again to get back to the home screen. Reopen the app store again.


It worked for me - but not the kind of basic problem you would expect from our friends at Apple.


Or maybe of later, it is...

I have been having the same problems as you all. I tried all the suggestions from the most benign (rebooting) to finally resetting the phone back to stock and reinstalling from my back-up. It wasn't until I performed the last one did it work. So, is it an apple server issue or an OS issue? Since it didn't work until I reinstalled the OS and the apps, it would appear to be an OS issue.Hopefully, this fix will last and I will not have to repeat it. I can only hope Apple will fix this with the next iOS update.
