IPhone: is the large icon in iTunes=App store icon?
Does iTunes get the artwork for the large icon in the apps directory from the large 512x512 icon used by the appstore? Or is that from another source, since my Ad Hoc distributions don't display any special icons in iTunes.
The dev guide says about the 512x512 icon:
{quote}This will be used to feature your application on the App Storefront.{quote}
I'm not sure what exactly "featured" means...
There are at least 5 different images/icons possible for each app in iTunes:
1) small icon just like on device home screen (in NEW or WHAT'S HOT section)
2) slightly bigger icon (when browsing for apps)
3) even larger icon (app's actual page in the store)
4) medium "featured" image (between NEW and WHAT'S HOT sections)
5) large "featured" image (3 at the very top of the app store home)
So the "Icon.png" in your app bundle is definitely what shows on the device home screen. But is the 512x512 icon used for icons 1-3 in the store? Is it also used in any way for 4-5 or do you have to be "special" to even get featured in those ways?

I have lost my camera icon and my app store icon. I have tried to reset the iPod and even tried to restore factory settings....no luck. Restrictions seems to have been set, but I do not have a pass code. Any suggestions???
I have gone through the router reset for home network, Router reset at work. Restarted my personal hotspot on my iPhone that is running the same IOS.
I have performed the Network settings reset on the iPad.
I have performed a hard reboot on the iPad, (Home button and power button until logo appears)
Also I had to update the Apple driver on my laptop for iTunes to see my iPad after I had updated iTunes, I'm not sure if I lost wifi after I updated the iPad IOS or updating iTunes. -
When trying to download the free applications from itunes app store its asking about billing information.
Billing popup will display and navigating to billing detail page.Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item (free or paid-for) from the store.
If you are being prompted to review the account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
If not then you will need to enter credit card details - you should be able to remove the card after entering it -
HT2731 The iTunes App Store icon has disappeared. How do I get it back?
The icon for the iTunes Apps Store has disappeared from my iPad. How do I get it back?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't remove the App store app, you must hav moved it to a folder somewhere. Swipe the screen to the right until you get to the search screen then do a search for the app. -
My new iPhone 4S (week old) can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi (and some other apps e.g. Hollister – but most of the other apps like Safari or ebay work fine). There is no problem with those apps loading via 3G network. When I turn off the wi-fi, it runs over 3G and i can access App store without any problem. When i turn off the 3G network and turn the Wi-Fi on, those apps like App Store won't work, other apps work fine. When i turn on both Wi-Fi and 3G, the App store (and so on) is also not working, other apps are.
I also found out that when the Wi-fi is on and I sign out my apple ID, the App store starts working! But when I log in again, it will imediatelly stop working. I've tried logging in with others apple IDs, still with the same result. There is no problem with my apple ID account, because it works on my iPad, even via Wi-Fi.
When i first set up my iPhone, there were no complications using App store ia Wi-fi with exactly the same account. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but this problem started when i logged in with my UK account and then wanted to log back in with my Czech account.
I tried turning it off, hard reset and deleting my iPhone several time (even without back up). Nothing worked since then.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
I would really appreciate ANY help. This porblem is driving me crazy!I am also having the same issue. Please help!

Iphone 4 can't connect to itunes/app store
I'm in need of some help! I purchased an iphone 5s and i am giving my old iphone 4 to my son to use for games (wifi only). The iphone 4 has been reset and has the latest updated software installed.

I've tried to connect the iphone 4 to the pc and itunes says the same thing, i've also tried it on 2 other pc with the same result. It says can't verify the identity of the server buy.itunes.apple.com, then we could not complete your itunes store request an unknown error has occured -9808 when i try to sign in to itunes.

Because that's what i did and it worked! =D
Don't know why it requires to do so but by giving a try wouldn't hurt. xDDD -
Family Sharing - what's the difference with sharing iTunes/App Store ID/password?
I currently share my iTunes and App Store account with my son and my wife. I am thinking about turning on Family Sharing. However, beyond my having to approve my son's purchases and him not having to know my password, I am not sure of the real benefit.
I don't need to share Calendars or Reminders. It would be nice to have a shared photos folder, but that can be done easily with setting up a shared Photo Stream.
Any other benefits?
Thanks,
TonyI'm also reading that iTunes Match cannot be shared with Family Sharing. Seems like Apple is going the wrong way with this.

My iTunes App Store icon was deleted how do I get it back??
My apps store was deleted along with my camera on my iPad. I am trying to figure out how I can get these back? Normally you down load apps from the App Store but that is deleted so I am unable to download any apps including the camera. Help! Thanks!
Make sure its not on another Homescreen Page or in an app folder. If you still cannot locate it try checking Settings>General>Restrictions>iTunes Store and make sure it is ON.

My messaging,App Store, ITunes icons have totally disappeared, I have tried looking in other folders etc and resetting my homepage however I still cannot seem to find them, any ideas about how I could get them back? ( I phone 4s)
If you still have the 'pointers' to them in iTunes then I think that it assumes that you still have them on your computer so it won't re-download them or let you copy them from your iPod - try deleting the iTunes entry for one of them and then re-try re-downloading or, with your iPod connected, File > Transfer Purchases. If it works for that one then do the same for the others.

Since upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4s I cannot download from iTunes/App Store - I get the message "... could not be downloaded at this time. Please try again later". I can download via iTunes on my laptop and then transfer via iCloud no problem, but can't make purchases directly.

I was chatting with support last night about a download error for a movie rental and now I can't find the link for the chat support. iTunes, App Store, or someplace else?

Dashboard question and my app store icon disappeared...
I was looking at the dashboard widgets to download and I found a game to download. Once I downloaded it and opened up my dashboard, all I see is the game. All my other icons are behind the game and I can't see them. I don't know how to make the game screen smaller like the other icons or even delete it.
I am very new to owning my first Mac, so I put in the Mac OS Install DVD and after it finished downloading, my app store icon disappeared. There is a question mark in the place that was my app store icon. How do I fix that?
Thanks!Did you reinstall the software from the dvd? It sound like you are now running an os that is under 10.6.6.
Click on the apple icon in the menu bar and select "about this mac"
That will show you the os version you are running now. You need to have 10.6.6 and above to have the app store installed.
In this case all you have to do is run a software update and download the lattest os update which should be 10.6.8. -

I Have an iPad mini operating on 7.1.2 iOS. My App Store icon as well as my iTunes Store icon are missing from my home scree. They are still listed under my settings, but I can't access them unless it's through an app that already exists. Where can I go to reinstall these? I use the same Apple ID on my iPhone 5c as well and they are on the iPhone, but I don't know how or why they just disappeared from my iPad and want to know how to get them back without having to reset my iPad and lose what I have on it. Thanks, Karla
Thanks so much! My grandaughters played games on the iPad over Xmas and one of their moms said shed restricted their access! Guess they forgot to enable again. Thank you again! Karla
