Can't search anything in App Store!! Help!!

Check the "apps" category,,,there's a thread about this problem,,,you'll find out your not alone with this problem. Hopefully someone from apple will come along to help us out.

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.

In the meantime ...........

Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors

http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/best-fixes-for-cannot-connect-to-itunes- store-errors/

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.

I'm having the same problem. I can browse apps, and install them, but if I try to search the app store I get the same message . . . cannot connect to itunes store.

Fixed it by going to settings/itunes and app stores then selecting my apple id and attempted to change the country to the US. I didn't finish changing it completely as I couldnt enter a zip code (i'm in the UK). So backup out and changed it back to the UK.

Now I can connect!

I think it's a apple sever problem.

This error message appears every time I write something in the search field of Appstore. For example if I write the word (apple) in the search field of Appstore and I press the search button this error message appears. The only way to avoid this error and to be able to search for apps is the following: When I write the word (apple) in the search field instead pressing the search button I choose one of the options from the expanded list that appears every time you write something in that field. This is the only way to make it work. I believe that this issue happened when I updated to iOs 6.0.1. I tried a lot of tricks like changing the date or rebooting the router and bla bla but nothing works for me. Does anybody knows how to fix that issue? It is very strange because this problem doesn't appear in the search field of iTunes...!

Hey all, I haven't been able to find a fix that works for me, including changing time or dns etc, but meanwhiles you can still search as long as you choose from results options that pop up when you type what you are looking for instead of hitting search...hope this atleast gets you by

It's not working on my iPad 3 either. I reset my network settings and logged out of my account but nothing fixes it. I can install apps and browse the top charts but I cannot search.

Following previous fixes, I tried signing out of my itunes account in "settings" then opened App Store without my account logged in to see if the connection error would pop up if i tried to search, and it did. But then i signed back into my itunes account via the button near the bottom of the App Store feature page and now i'm able to search without issue. Works fine!!

>inDesigner,,I tried that a few times and it didn't work for me,,matter of fact when I was on the phone with the apple tech people they told me to try it,,which I did without any luck. Glad to see its fixing some peoples problem.

Worked perfect for me. Thank you very much!

Worked perfect for me. Thank you very much!

>Rubert,,my ipad won't allow me to change countries,,I get a window that says because I have a store balance I must spend my balance before I can change stores,,,wierd.

I rebooted my ipad and it seems to be working OK now.

dont post anything is its not going to fix the issue.
