iOS 9.1 causing app store issues

Points well made. But I have not suspected the cause to be a corrupted Apple ID because iTunes on my desktop works perfect. I can purchase apps, books, music, and sync them to my iPhone, but I cannot do these things from the iPhone. iTunes works for me on Windows 7 and Mac OSX El Capitan so I suspect the culprit is iOS 9.1 and how it handles my Apple ID.

When I was using my iPhone 5s with 9.1 I did notice that hyperlinks did not work on Safari, or Google Chrome. I didn't pay much mind to it because I was dealing with so many other issues that hyperlinks not working seemed trivial in relation to Apple Music and App store issues. On the 5s I went through various restores, and setting resets until I just gave up. A few days later I go a 6s thinking then that the problem was hardware. As I've stated previously, everything was working right until I updated to iOS 9.1. Learning from my experience with the 5s and knowing the results would be the same, I did not restore the 6s because I have all my purchased apps on it, including restored purchases - just can't download anything else now. Hyperlinks work on Safari and Chrome, Facetime works. The iPhone functions right, and most apps work - except Pandora. Health apps work too. BUT, I have not logged out of anything, or restored since I first got the device out of the box and updated to 9.1. If I log out of anything I know I may not be able to get back in, and if I do manage to log back in most of my apps will begin to hang or freeze the phone.

same issues here. i now have 25 apps in the "update" queue on the iphone app store. none will update and no new apps will download.

music app is identical, all music that used to reside on the phone is gone.

while doing a "restore iphone" followed by a "restore backup" i found this thread. the restore attempts did not change anything.

It is a great relief to have found this forum and understand that I am not alone. I tried everything and I could not solve my problem, I'm temporarily using a family sharing account. I recommend to everyone, enter to the public beta of iOS 9.2 and send all your complaints to Apple, using the feedback tool for betas. Maybe they hear us, given that we are a minority with this failure ..

The shame of all this is, I can stay on 9.0.2 as long as I need to, but when the day comes I need to replace one of my family's iPhones or iPads and the problem is not fixed, I might as well go to a Samsung or LG (if the choice is that or starting over with a new Apple ID).

I'm starting to feel the same way with OS X. As I work with Windows all day, there really isn't that much of a difference anymore and when it's time to replace my MacBook, I'm going to seriously look at Windows machines.

I hate that it's come to this, but it's almost like Apple just doesn't care anymore. Things no longer "just work."

My test iPhone 5s is NOW WORKING! I was able to use Apple Music, download from the App Store, etc.

I will wait a few days before updating any of my actual devices just to be sure, but this is promising!

I agree. That's why I'm waiting a few days until I do any of my actual devices. BUT, this was the first time I've been able to get my test device to work, even with reboots or logins.

So like I said, promising. Many on the other thread are reporting the same.

Please everyone keep testing and letting us know over hours. We need a few people and maybe a few days for the likes of some of us who are stuck on ios 9.02. I can't give up 9.02 without certainty that it is working or I'm real screwed. I can get most of my stuff to work on 9.02 or otherwise I'm like all of you. Been like this for over 3 weeks.

At lunch time today, without doing anything my IPad mini started working as normal. The last Apple advisor I talked to last Saturday called me tonight and said they've been working hard on the issue until today. 3 different factors were the cause. He left me his phone and email and advised to get in touch with him ISPs any sign of malfunction would ever occur. Fingers crossed, I won't update my IPhone from 8.4.1 just yet, but the IPad on 9.1 is ok. Nice meeting you all here... Better go now, I have catching up to do on magazine subscriptions to read and tons of Beats 1 show to listen to... Hooray!

This all sounds very encouraging. I'm actually using a test account right now that an Apple Senior Advisor gave me and things have always worked for that but if everyone's account here is still working after a couple of days I'll probably just switch back to my regular account.

Everything started working for me last night. Had to do nothing. Everything just came back to normal after a month, and I think this time it will keep working, because for over a month no hard reset or turning phone off and on, or anything else, worked, and now I've been updating apps, opened links in emails, and even used Apple Music all night.

This is even more frustrating. Well I gotta follow this for the whole weekend please people update how long its working for. I am on 9.02 and to get off of it to have a bricked phone would be horrible. Also, I have no idea why I got that email last night from the iTunes customer experience telling me there working on it but there is no ETA and that it would be a fix in an over the air upgrade down the line. It makes no sense when supposedly according to this forum it was fixed and only a server issue. So confused I'm hoping it is fixed but that email really messed up my head here. Please everyone keep posting how long its working for so us in my situation will be comfortable upgrading. Thanks everyone.

Everything's still working for me! I've even managed to do a restore and setup my iPhone as new, which I couldn't do before Because I couldn't install any apps. If I'm still good by tomorrow, I'm letting the tech assigned to my case know to close it. I talked to him last night and he actually sounded kinda dumbfounded as to why everything is working when he hadn't heard from any of the engineers. But, then he told me it looks like this went pretty high up the chain, whatever that means.

I'm not positive, but I think the recent outages could have been server downtime to correct our issue. Or maybe not.

Two of my devices are now working fine after a day.

The tech I was working with speculated it might have had something to do with the certificate errors that plagued some of the developers, and somehow it was all tied in. I dunno...but whatever it was, looks like they might have fixed it.

I think if we're all fine by the time Monday rolls around, we can put this one to bed.

Still works with iOS 9.1. Seriously, I didn't do anything, it just started to work by itself. Waited over a month, few days ago a guy called from support about something else, and I told him about this problem, and he hadn't even heard about this problem. I told him everything, and he was really amazed about it. But yeah, I just noticed last night, that everything is working, when my apps started to update.

24 hours and everything is still working fine with 9.1. Whatever Apple did with the servers, the fix is sticking. I hope it holds - but honestly, I'm not totally sold. I'll give it the weekend and if everything continues to work on Monday I'd say Apple nailed the issue.

I'm curious to hear from those of you running the 9.2 beta who said the beta had not resolved the issues we were all having. Now that Apple has done something with the servers how is iOS 9.2 beta running - does everything work? Thanks in advance.
