app store search not working iPhone 5, iOS 6

The search function in App Store is still not working. I've tried all the recommended fixes and none of them have worked, including reset, changing date to 2013, restoring iPhone, toggling restrictions on/off etc... Any word on a fix?

iPhone 5, os6 white 32 gb, "features" and "search" do not work in the app store. "genius" works but when you click on the ap the description does not show up. In all cases all you see is that the screen is loading then it completes and you have a plain white screen. I have an iPad (first gen) that is able to acess the app store. I have reset my phone, closed out the app and tried to change the time ( which im a pro at since my iphone 5 keeps changing my time and date randomly to the incorrect time and date :-$) and none of this works.

I'm having the same problem with the iTunes app on iPhone 5: when I type in a search, suggested search results appear, but when I select one, I just get a blank white screen.


Search works fine with iTunes on my iPad (3rd generation). So, to buy music, I go to my iPad and buy it there. But that only works if I have both with me.

I have the same problem too with my new iphone 5. It has been working fine, and was working last night. I was just going to buy some new apps and songs today and i can't see anything but white pages on my app store AND itunes. The white screen is everywhere, not just in the search field but for featured apps... charts,...etc it just won't work.


Not happy.
