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.

Hey guys had this nasty bug from even the last beta to downgrading to 9.1 normal. It is terrible I tried everything on here and that I know of even full recoveries to no avail. So many forced restarts. I noticed because of apple music but than couldn't download updates or anything. You can get them to work if you network setting reset or force restart for a few minutes. The only solution was to put my phone and iPad down to 9.02. Download it and do it before apple stops supporting it. It's easy to downgrade its just like an update. Download it to like your desktop and you can download it from many places and when you go into iTunes on a desktop and go to click update hold down option key on mac I think ctrl on windows and pick the update on your desktop. The first time it told me my firmware was not correct and wouldn't download but I did it again and it went through so don't give up as long as you download the right one for your device you should be good. And don't update until this thing is fixed it is truly a nasty bug and I love apple really missed my apple music but I was close to throwing my phone at a wall. Was very annoying bug and I have a lot of patience hopefully they have a fix or patch soon. Good luck everyone.

Hey guys I wrote Tim Cook as one of the suggestions a few weeks ago from someone so apple would take notice. The Ituens Experience emailed me back in reply to my email

HHey guys I was edited by the host. The bottom line is that they said there's no eta for a fix and it will come in a upgrade down line.

Been just under week without issue. All services running fine.

Seems they have resolved the issue server side and I personally consider it closed.

Yes, me too. All is well on all devices, running iOS 9.1.

Falling in love with my iPhone 6S again.

What do you mean by synch, Kevnsss? I don't think I synch anything and I don't use iCloud. But maybe I am and don't realize it.

Thanks, Martha
