iPad 1, iOS 5.1.1 - App Store crashes constantly

The App Store app on my old iPad 1 crashes constantly when I browse though apps.

I open it, select maybe a category or search for something, open two or three apps and use the "back" button to get back to the overview. Crashes pretty soon.


All other apps are closed, iPad freshly restarted, nothing helps.


It's very difficult to buy something.


Thanks for your help.

Saw this on another post.


Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.


This works for some users. Not sure why.

Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
