My App Store shows a blank white screen no matter what i do - any way to fix this?

My app store function only returns a blank, white on featured, search, or any of the icon choices at the bottom except upgrades. All app store functions worked fine until today. I had upgraded to iOS 6 a few weeks ago. I've reset some functions like Network settings and restarted the phone among countless other trouble shooting actions, but nothing has worked. Does anybody know how to fix this??

iPhone 4, iOS 6

I faced the Same Issue. It is resolved by changing the language at Settings-->General-->International-Language. Change the Current Language ( I have changed it from British English to English). Then after a succesful change, Go to Appstore- Updates. The Issue is resolved. Now go back to your original Setting (if required)

Try these things.


Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.


Or try this


Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.

If changing language, signing out of iTunes, turning off Genius had not solved the blank update screen, a solution that worked for me is:

  1. Turn off automatice time setting
  2. Set the clock forward one year
  3. Check for app updates (get error)
  4. Correct the clock time/date
  5. Check for update and get them!

The page lists a number of solutions, but the first one worked for me (after trying many in the Apple discussions).

Yes this is SOOOO annoying. It has basically been going on for me ever since I upgraded..haha what an upgrade, to the ios6. I can open the updates but then nothing will update. I have tried EVERYTHING the discussions recommend but still nothing. I have wasted to many hours! Apple needs to step it up when it comes to finding a solution to this!
