Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Guys,
After iOS6 upgrade to my 3rd-gen iPad, I have started seening something wierd! If you notice the Button-labels in App-Store for apps from Apple, showing some coded (weird!) text! (ref. screen-shots below). I tried restarting iPad couple of times, but in vain!
Anyone else has this issue? Thanks!
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 5.1.1
Try force-closing the App Store app: from the home screen, double-tap the home button, locate App Store in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap ➖ to close it, tap the home button again. Any change?
@randers4, That's the first thing that I had tried and then tried restarting.. That didn't help! Thanks for the response though!
Don't know what's going on then. It's not happening on either my iPhone or iPad, although it's possible it's still an issue at Apple's end that's only impacting some users.
Interestingly, I just realized that the page layout/GUI design looks like, it's iOS5's or at least not iOS6's new app-store layout/GUI design... (Comparing with my friend's iPad running iOS6).
Then iOS 6 on your iPad may be corrupt, which would require restoring to fix. (Restoring replaces the iOS with a new copy.) If you decide to restore, be sure to import your photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), sync with iTunes to transfer your purchases and back up your iPad,* and back up your contacts separately (such as by syncing them with iCloud or using an app like My Contacts Backup).
*If you are backing up to iCloud be sure to perform a backup there first, or perform a manual backup in iTunes by right-clicking on the name of your iPad on the left side and selecting Back Up.
Thanks @randers4, I shall give a try!
You're welcome. At the end of the restore process you will be given the option to restore to either an iCloud or iTunes backup. Select which ever one you have (restoring to an iTunes backup can sometimes be significantly faster).
iOS6 - iPad - App Store - Showing Weird Button labels!?
