iOS 9.1 causing app store issues

I went back to my regular iTunes and App Store account after using a test account from Apple for a few weeks because of people in this thread and the Apple employee that has been helping me for the past month saying the problem has been fixed and for the day I've been back its been working like normal so far. Is everybody else's account still working for them too?

That happened to me too, only on my iPad. it happened a couple of times in the last three days; it asked me to enter the password to my iCloud account but that didn't prevent apps to be downloaded/updated so it might be not related to the issue we all had

i am new to apple, just got my iPad mini in September.

ios 9 didn't give me any problems, neither did 9.0.1, nor 9.0.2. however 9.1 is a very different matter; as has been detailed at great length on this thread I too am suffering from the same issues - game centre won't load, and any game linked to game centre won't load, all downloaded apps display the cloud with arrow symbol and register as not on my iPad, I can't download any apps from the App Store nor can i download anything from iTunes. plus iBooks now won't load.

this all happened within a day of installing 9.1 (minus the iBooks issue) but seemed to resolve itself soon after. but from 2 days ago all these issues are now extremely prominent, including the special bonus of iBooks now not working too.

as a new member to the apple club i can say I'm not particularly pleased; apple products are (generally) very good(from what I hear) but how can anyone be expected to stay with Apple if you can't access any of the apps/tunes/books?

i can only hope that 9.2 is actually a finished (and thoroughly tested/bug fixing) update. ☹️

Yes it seems it was a server virus that they fixed that affected all the apple ID's on it. I finally pulled trigger a cpl weeks ago and have had zero problems even went back to the beta with zero problems.

Hi,

If anybody stayed on 9.0.2 (even after the great "server/iCloud reset" of November 2015) and then updated to 9.2, we'd appreciate if you could report back on how things are going.

I'm still on 9.0.2 - was traveling recently and didn't want to take the chance of updating to 9.1 and then things being broken again on my trip.

Now that 9.2 is out, I want to pull the trigger (for me and all my family's devices - all still on 9.0.2), but want confirmation from someone here that 9.0.2 -> 9.2 is working fine.

Thanks.

So bottom line is Apple has to fix their software as it is something to do with an account (apple id) is being used on multiple devices.

There's nothing to fix. If one person with one Apple ID has multiple devices, it is most certainly desirable if that person can access his/her emails on all devices. The software is working as intended. The only requirement is that users use it properly.

Thank you for explaining, Kevnss.

But I don't think mine is an ID problem because most updates and apps I can download but so far I have found 3 that I cannot. One is CNN, that along with 2 others will now completely download, but others will download fine and other apps will update fine. My tape recorder app would not update, though. It's just so odd. So to download the ones I can't download, I hook up my phone to iTunes and use that.

I Hate to say it but the initial problems raised in this thread last year started happening to me again over the past few days, and only a hard reboot seems to correct temporarily.

Apple Music stops streaming

cannot download or update apps

previous purchases disappear

im trying to figure out if this only does it on wifi or cellular, or if a reset network settings will fix it. Too early to tell.

I can't even access Game Center (I hadn't checked prior to updating to 9.1) so I'm unsure if 9.1 broke something that was previously working or didn't fix something that wasn't working.

Did that fix your problems? Did it save all of your settings and apps when downgrading?

Thanks for the reply. I just sent another bug report to Apple's feedback page with a link to this thread to bring more attention to this serious problem.

Fixed all our problems immediately.

In 9.0.2 everything works as it should.

That has nothing to do with this problem. I've never had, and still don't have restrictions turned on anyway.

Pretty much exactly the same issues I was having.

Surprisingly, the iTunes store app was working fine.

I actually never tried to see if the iTunes Store is working since the only thing I ever purchase there is the Movie of the Week sometimes.
