Install buttons missing in App Store on iPhone 4 iOS 7

There are no buttons to install apps on iPhone 4. Resetting didn't help; neither did the minor updates like 7.0.3. The phone is not faulty either, the buttons were gone after the iOS 7 update. Is there a way to fix this?

This is abit of daram, But try it, it might work. Plug your iPhone into the computer and Restore your iPhone back to a new Phone. Than try going back into the app store and try re-downloading the app that you want.

after it is working then Restore Your iPhone From backup.


Please Remeber to Back-up your iPhone before you do any of this. To make sure that you dont loose data that is on your iPhone.

Hi,

How do you remove the age restrictions in iOS 7, please? I can't see any section that it might be in. I've got the same problem on my sister-in-law's iPad and I remember when I set up her Apple ID I kept having a problem where Apple kept saying she wasn't old enough to have an Apple ID (despite being 40!) so I wonder if it might be related to her problem with the download/buy buttons not being there (in the end I made her an Apple ID on a PC rather than the iPad).


Thanks

After reading Kalsta's comment, this is what I did to get it to work. The phone that was having this exact same issue had restrictions "on". I disabled restrictions and then all the apps were now showing the download icon. Re-enable restrictions and the download button stayed present. So all in all, disabling and re-enabling restrictions is what worked for me.


Hope this helps!


P.S. This was also a iPhone 4 that had the most recent version of iOS 7 installed as well.
