iOS 9.1 causing app store issues

hello, i have updated my iPhone 6s to IOS 9.1, which claims to fix in issue with app store downloads and game center log in.

strange enough, i started having these issues after the update, i never faced it with IOS 9.0.2. now i'm unable to use the app store for any download, and i can't access game center either. i'm even facing some wifi connectivity issues. so basically, IOS 9.1 gave me the issues that it was supposed to solve 😕

i have tried hard resets and restores, i have lost some valuable data and apps along the way, nothing worked. i'm using iTunes on my macbook to install apps for the time being. but any idea how to fix this ? never in 6 years i faced issues with iPhones. so i guess now apple have broken my virginity.

My phone had not worked correctly for any amount of time after being struck by the 'bug' several weeks ago. I have been using the alternative apple i.d. as a workaround. This morning on the strength of the comments here and on another thread I've been following I reverted to my original i.d. and for the last 4 hours my phone has behaved perfectly. I'm feeling pretty confident at this point. Still watching the threads though, for any hint of relapse.

Well, after read you guys; i tried again: log out my alternative family sharing account, reboot and log again with my primary app store account. IT WORKS! App Store works again, purchased list works, iTunes Match works, In-App restoring too. But see, i made this trick before, and it works for just few hours, so, before to consider this bug fixed, we have to wait a couple days.


I have to say: its working on my iPad Air 2 with iOS 9.1 and works too, on my iPhone with iOS 9.2 Beta 4. It seems iOS version was not the problem. I hope this fix last forever.

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!

Came by today to see if there was any new developments in light of the 9.2 beta 4 release today, and after reading the latest comments decided to hard reboot and check the app store and the Settings>iTunes & App Store>> Password Settings is now visible again. During the app store issues the menu setting was only momentarily visible after a power off, or a hard reboot. It 's only been 10 min since my iPhone gave the impression that the issues are fixed - but I'm cautious to accept the fix as permanent because things have worked before, but only for 1 min or less, so 10 minutes is good.


I'll have to see if this fix sticks for 24 hours.


I did not sign out of any accounts because I've had issues signing back in. So although the apple ID/app store issue appears to be resolved - I am not going to sign out unless this fix stays working for the next 24 hours. Still, the result of whatever Apple did with their servers is very promising - and this may have been the fix we have been waiting for. Having learned the hard way, I would caution that if you have 9.02 on your device and everything is working - Do Not Update to 9.1! Wait and see how things look tomorrow, or by the end of the week.
