ITunes 10.1 (54) no longer brings up app store or any store.

All of a sudden I can no longer access the app store or any store in iTunes.
I have a very plain vanilla iMac I have been using for a year new, bought it new. Never had a problem with it. This just started yesterday. I am running iTunes 10.1 (54).
It works perfectly on my PC laptop. Anyone have any ideas as I have no idea how to contact Apple directly. Is it even possible to contact Apple?

I reinstalled iTunes (too busy and too lazy to do the complete uninstall first . It's now a little better. Not much, still very slow, still rubbish formatting but it's just about useable.
I'm not sure how you make the logical leap from "it works on a PC, but not on my Mac, therefore it's probably a problem at Apple" I would think if it works on a PC that would normally suggest it is not a problem at Apple Now, the idea that it works on a PC but not on a Mac means it's a problem with the Mac, that is more justified

  • HT201274 If i use the "Erase all Content and Data" button can I put an app back on the phone that is no longer in the app store but is store on the itunes in my computer?

    I have an app, no longer in the app store, that i want to keep an iphone i'm getting rid of. I backed up the iphone on itunes and deleted all data, but the app, manually. I want to erase all data, and then put the app back on the phone. Please advise. Thanks

    Then as I said you can do an Erase All Content and Settings which will wipe the phone. Completely. In order to add a game from your iTunes you will have to activate the iPhone with your Apple ID and then sync the game. You don't have to sync anything else. But you will need to sell the phone with your Apple ID on it.

  • TS1702 after upgrading to ios 6 i can  no longer use the app store.

    after upgrading to ios 6 i can  no longer use the app store on my iPhone, i am unable to install new apps. i chose to fill out the security questions and the problem seems to occur since then. what could be a solution to get the app store working again??

    i just contacted apple support and the solution is the following!!!!!
    connect the iphone to your computer  and open itunes
    then click on itunes store at the left side of the screen
    then click at the right top side of your itunes screen on your email address (or id that is displayed there in the black bar)
    choose log out
    then go to the top of the screen with the search option in itunes where you can search in the store and choose an app that you have not yet installed.
    then you get the security questions also in itunes, fill the them out and after you have done that you are asked to log in again
    now when you install an app that works (it is then on your computer still)
    open the app store on your iphone and choose the updates button and install the app from the cloud
    now when you install new apps also from the app store on your iphone it works again!!! and you are no longer asked about the security questions
    (the other option they told me (that i did not have to use)  is: go to settings/general/ all the way at the bottom of the screen choose make new settings restore networksettings and choose yes)

    You should be able to copy it from your iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and if it's compatible with your iPad you can then sync it to it

  • Will an app on my iphone go onto my computer if it is no longer on the App Store?

    Will an app on my iphone go onto my computer if it is no longer on the App Store?

    Yes and yes.
    If not currently available in your iTunes library on your computer, with your iPhone connected to iTunes right click on the iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases. All iTunes content on your iPhone that was downloaded from the iTunes Store including apps that is not currently available in your iTunes library on your computer will be transferred.

  • How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices?  Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

    Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

  • HT3843 I install the Genius for Apps and I can no longer access the Apps Store on my I phone

    I installed the Genius for Apps on my new IPhone 5 and I can no longer access the App Store and when I tap App Store I just get a white screen with the heading Genius for Apps with a white screen and no active keys.

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

    Hello royalaqua,
    I do think you should ask yourself if upgrading to Lion is the right course to take.
    Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and Lion has literally been frozen out after barely a year.   Remember too that some of your apps may not work with Lion (those that have Rosetta, for example) so that could mean more new purchases.   Plus you may need to uprate your RAM too.

    Is this in the US store? How much is the credit that you have on your account? How much does the app cost?
    The US store prices do not include the local sales taxes added in the final steps of the sale. If you do not have enough credit to cover the total the system asks for a credit card to cover the remaining balance.

  • Purchased Pages 09 yesterday. It shows up in my iTunes purchase history, but is not in my App Store list of purchased apps.  It was purchased and downloaded to my 13 macbook.  I want to install it on my iMac, but can't do so until I see it in App Store.

    I purchased Pages 09 through the App Store on June 22 from my Macbook.  It downloaded and installed, but is not in my list of AppStore purchases.  I need it to show up in my App Store purchase history, so that I may download and install to my iMac where I do more of my work when at home.  THe app does not show up in App Store purchase history on either machine, however it does show up as purchased under my iTunes account.  Yes, I could probably just copy the application from one machine to the other, but if it doesn't show up as an App Store purchase I won't receive any product updates.
    Should I refute the credit card charge through my credit card company to get Apple to fix the issue?

    (2) That option partially works, but is not acceptable in the long term.
    (3) I do indeed now have the application on both machines.  If I look for the Pages 09 application in the App Store application, it shows up as installed.  However, it does not show up in my purchase history!  This is critical as far as I'm concerned because I will not see security updates or feature updates unless it shows up as purchased from the App Store.  In fact, I'm hoping that I'll get a free upgrade to Pages 11 (if it comes out soon) based on how recent I've made the purchase of Pages 09.
    (1) good news
    (2) I can't decide for you. Remember that I am an end user like you.
    (3) (a) I never saw security update applied to an iWork application.
    (b) for the update, as the app if flagged as installed you will get the update if Apple deliver an ultimate one (update 9.0.6)
    (c) don't dream. Apple never did that. What they do is to deliver a free upgrade to buyers of a machine when the corresponding order was delivered after the product announcement (example : Lion if you order a mac to morrow)
    Pages '11 (maybe it will be Pages '12) will not be an update but an upgrade and in such case, we must pay.
    I got the described behavior for the app named "The Unarchiver" and, applying what I described, the app behave now as it must do.

  • How to reinstall old app purchased on iphone that is no longer available in App Store?

    A couple years ago I purchased a Colorado maps app (I can't remember the name) from the App Store. The computer that I had it backed up on crashed, so I had to reinstall iTunes on a fresh hard drive.
    I still have the backup files of the hard drive that had the app backed up on it. But I don't know how to access the files for that lost app.
    Is there a way to reinstall or recover old apps no longer available in the app store from an old backup of itunes or something?
    Thanks

    You're actually overthinking it. You have the backup of that app of your old HD, yes? On Vista, go to:
    c:\Users\[Username]\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Mobile Applications
    The tricky part is finding the app name, since you've forgotten it, but try to go with the obvious names first. "Colorado.ipa" etc. Try Appshopper.com's search feature, to possibly refresh your memory. When you've found it, make a copy of it, and install it on your new iTunes Mobile Apps folder. Click on it, and let it load. You'll see it in iTunes (if you're using the same account as before). Good luck.

  • HT4528 After upgrading to iOS 7, my iPhone and iPad can no longer connect to App Store. I did reset all settings, still the same. Please help

    I just upgraded my iPhone 4 and iPad Mini to iOS 7, suddenly they both can no longer access to iTunes nor App Store. The message says "Cannot connect to App Store". After some research, I did reset all, and still the same. Can anyone have a clue? Thanks,

    As I mentioned earlier, when I clicked on the App Store or iTunes Store, the message reads "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" or "Cannot connect to App Store" depending on which I clicked.
    I did check iTunes & App Store, it used to show my Apple ID there, but somehow it shows empty there. I then manually typed in my Apple ID, it just won't work. I know for sure that my Apple ID works as I tried logging online using that ID fine, but my iPhone and iPA

  • Apps no longer found on App Store - despite long been "Ready for Sale"

    As discovered yesterday, all our paid apps have been "lost" from the iOS App Store.
    An alert saying:
    "Your request could not be completed. The item you've requested is not currently available in the US store."
    ...appears instead.
    Nowhere are they to be found, either by navigating directly to their urls in a browser, or by searching via iTunes on computer, iPhone or iPad.
    Not even when clicking the link from within:
    [ my developers account > iTunes Connect > Manage your account > [particular app] > View in app store ]
    ...will they appear, despite them being marked as "Ready for Sale".
    This has been confirmed for the Swedish and US app stores so far, on different computers/locations.
    All these apps were approved between mid 2009 and mid 2010, and all have long had (and still have) the status "Ready for Sale" and are distributed worldwide.
    At the same time, only our FREE-apps are still to be found on the App Store.
    I've submitted a report to their support, but receiving a reply could take a while and in the meantime I'm loosing income.
    Does anybody know what's going on?
    Is this happening for others, or is it just our apps? Has this happened to others before?
    Thanks.

    Yes, apparently all of a sudden my previously active iOS-contract has been placed under "Request Contracts" instead of in "Contracts In Effect".
    When there's a change in contracts you'll always get a notification from Apple is my experience, but now nothing.
    My iAD and Free-contracts are still in effect, though.
    Could it be connection with having just paid the Mac OS X-developer fee? I strictly remember having ADDED this to my existing account, not creating a new one.
    So should I request a new contract, with all the hassle of having to send them the w8ben-form etc (taking forever)? Or is it a shorter process since I've been a registered developer for more than 2 years?
    Eh, I'll go ahead and click the "Request"-button for the iOS contract. If you have any more input I'll gladly hear it.
