Why are some app icons hi-def in the App Store, then pixelated when downloaded? (Even after uninstall/reinstall)? Any way to fix this?

Just as an example, TSN. The icon always appears as hi-def/Retina display in the app store if you search for it or it asks you to update, then when it updates it goes back to being pixelated. I can see if it is an app-specific issue but there are other apps like Bank of America which do the same thing. I don't think it's because they haven't updated the icon because they have, it appears perfect when viewed in the App Store. Uninstall/reinstall did not fix this. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! It may sound minor, but it makes all the difference visually!

How pixelated could the app look like?  The only reason why the app icon could look pixelated, is if you are using the iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 4th generation.  They obviously have an upscaled resolution, so the apps could not have been upscaled when downloading... I am not sure about this issue...
Like you said, it is a minor issue...

  • HT201272 Some of my previous purchases aren't showing up on the iTunes store. It says "Purchased" but won't let me download them. Is there any way to fix this?

    I've been making my iTunes music purchases on my iPhone for over a year now. I bought a new one so I relied on iCloud to keep my purchases on record. When downloading my songs, I saw that some of them were missing. When I logged into the iTunes store, it said that the albums (yes entire albums are missing) have been "PURCHASED", therefore I can't buy them again. And they don't have that iCloud icon on them to download them (since I have already purchased them). I checked my iTunes account on both my PC and my iPhone and still nothing. These aren't old purchases, but ones that I made a few months ago. Can anyone help me get my music back??

    If they aren't showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes) for redownloading then have you checked to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

  • HT1414 I dont know why bt ever since I updated my iphone 3gs 16GB to the new 5.1.1 firmware I am unable to activate it with my any sim card, so is there any way to fix this. Im from India

    I dont know why but ever since I updated my iphone 3gs 16GB to the new 5.1.1 firmware I am unable to activate it with any sim, so is there any way to fix this please? Is there a solution to activating my Iphone 3gs on this firmware? I purchase this iPhone from USA and Im using it in India. Please help me...

    This means the iPhone was hacked to be unlocked. The 3GS was not sold in the US as officially unlocked.
    Restoring an iPhone with iTunes that was hacked to be unlocked or installing a firmware update on an iPhone that was hacked to be unlocked re-locks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked when new. In this case, re-locked with ATT.

  • Why are some songs only available for other countries iTunes Stores

    I have tried to purchase some songs from the French ITunes Store, but I got an alert saying I had to switch over to the US store to do so. I did, but when I searched for the songs in the US store, I could not find them. Why is this so? Is there any way I can get the songs from the French iTunes Store?
    Thanks for the help

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I do live in the US. I assume that it works the same, that Apple doesn't have permission to sell the French songs in the US. Thank you for the quick response.

  • I renamed my iPad and now some of the apps installed by previous owner do not work. Is there any way to fix this?

    I renamed my ipad and now some of the apps installed by the previous owner do not work. Can this be fixed?

    Apps are not tied to the machine, but to the owner and his/her account. Once you set up the iPad with your iTunes account, all the apps downloaded by the previous owner will be gone and you will have to get them again. The only ones that should stay are the built-in apps that can't be deleted - YouTube, Safari, Contacts, etc.

    Hello Sammy,
    Thank you for providing the details of the App Store issue you are experiencing.  To be able to purchase or download apps again, you may need to update your billing information.  It sounds like you do not want to associate a credit card with your account, so you may be able to select "None" as a billing option in your account settings. 
    You can find steps to update your billing information in the following article:

    If you do notice that there is a pending charge on your account regarding the accidental purchase, I recommend following the steps in the article below to report this to the iTunes Store:

  • Why is my Apple ID only valid for the Apple store in one country (Ireland) even though I have moved to and live in the USA?

    I have moved from Ireland to the USA and now (legally) live in Seattle. When I try to login to the iTunes store here in the USA, I get a message telling me that my Apple ID is only valid for purchases from the Ireland iTunes store. What moron put in a restriction like that? Apple is now telling me that although I can legally move from one country to another and take up residence, I can not travel globally with my Apple ID? What use is having an Apple ID then as I can travel and buy globally with Amazon?

    Do NOT create another ID.  Change the country of your present ID.

    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store account - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311  - Change your iTunes Store country: "Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region."
    You will, of course, need to change your address and enter valid credit card information after you have changed the settings.

    Further tips on changing country - https://discussions.apple.com/message/20029737 - problems you encounter when changing iTunes country
    Realize, however, just as you can no longer visit your old public library in Ireland you also no longer have access to the store or your purchases made there.  You can continue to use them as they are on your computer now but that makes it all the more important you maintain backups in case of loss.  If you upgrade an app I think you will have to pay for it again since you no longer have access to the Irish Store.

  • Some photos pulled from iPhoto turn green when placing them in a project. Is there any way to fix this?

    I am using a Macbook Pro with 2GHz Intel Core i7 processor; 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory and OS 10.9.4. I have iPhoto 9.5.1 and iMovie 10.0.4. I have a project with video, and have added some still photos from my iPhoto Library. All of the photos appear fine until I add them to a project. Then some of them turn to a solid green. If I create a mp4 from this project, the offending photos remain green.
    I have checked the offenders in iPhoto to see if there is a common denominator. There is no common camera and no common editing. I did make a previous attempt to place some of the photos into an iMovie project and some of them were dropped into the wrong place--like into a title. But didn't notice any glitches at that time, only afterwards and I'm not sure if any of the problem photos were a part of that incident.
    I have absolutely no problem with iPhoto. Is there a library file that can be deleted to force iMovie to rebuild its connection to iPhoto.

    Only to load your backup from before downloading the MM photos

  • I just highlighted and changed the artist name of about a hundred songs in my library.  This was an accident and I want to change them back. I can't "undo" or search for artists' names online. Any way to fix this? They are still highlighted.

    These were all songs I had ripped from old CDs, lot of which, I no longer have. I can't remember that artists' names for all these songs.  They are all "oldies" from the fifties and I just accidentally changed the artist for all them to Fats Domino. I'd had them all highlighted because I had done a batch change of their genre to Oldies. I couldn't tell that they were all still highlighted after that change because I could only see two of the songs at the time that I changed the artist name.  Is there any possible way to undo this?  All the tracks are still highlighted from the naming operation. I can't search for the artists' names online because I didn't purchase them from iTunes.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I found one other way to do it.  I just deleted them all out of my iTunes library. Now I can re-import them from Window's My Music file with the original artists' names intact.
    Thanks for your help, Matt!
