    Can someone tell me how to restore my App Store and iTunes Apps on my ipad 2?

    If you had a backup either in iTunes or iCloud of the iPad you can restore from it by following this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If not you can go into the Purchased section of the App Store App, and download your Purchased Apps from there for free. However their data will not be restored.

  • Why am I getting unable to purchase message from App Store with free apps

    Why am I getting unable to purchase message from App Store for free apps on my I pad?

    Sign out of your Apple ID, reboot yor iPad and sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your ID and sign out.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Go go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store. Sign in. Try to download the free apps again.

  • HT1491 I purchased an application from the app store and the app is not working,How do I get  a refund ?

    I purchased an application from the app store and the app is not working,How do I get  a refund ?

    First, contact the developer of the app and ask for assistance. Then if you cannot get the problem resolved, go to the following link, explain the reason for your request, including that the developer was unable to solve the problem, and ask:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    Though a refund is not guaranteed, it's possible they'll make an exception for you.
    Good luck.

    I will check.  Can the security update be installed if you can no longer open the Mac App Store app?
    I was listening to the MacCast podcast and the host had a similar issue and did something similar to the link below.  I am concerned that I may mess something up by doing this.

  • TS1702 App Store and Itunes app

    I lost the App store and itunes apps on an ipod touch...  I've already tried syncing the ipod but it didn't come back.  How do I get them back?

    Thank you...  They were in restrictions.  For whatever reason, my son's iPod wasn't asking for a password when he was purchasing an App so, I turned it off in restrictions, not realizing it actually removed the App.  Thanks for the help!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    What do you mean by having no access to those apps? Can you start up your Mac and work with it, and only some OS X apps do not work?
    Anyway, what you can try is to reinstall OS X. To do this, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up and reinstall OS X. You will not lose any file.

  • HT2589 Unable to use my Apple ID in the App store for free apps without card details

    I set up an AppleID independently of setting up an iPad. I tried to download the free iBooks app and came to a screen asking for the AppleID and then requiring that I enter a payment method. I have seen in forums that this is a common problem. I have updated the os to 5.1. I have tried to log in to iTunes on my pc but with the same result.
    Is it yet possible to set up an App store account without payment method using an existing AppleID?

    Hi ...
    The iBooks app comes pre installed on an iPad.
    If you can't locate the iBooks app, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
    If that didn't help, swipe left of the Home screen. Type   iBooks  in the search field.

  • Ever since i updated my phone to iOS.6 I have troubles connecting to the internet and the app store and iTunes app take longer to load

    It keeps saying 'Unable to join' with my home internet and my work internet, i have forgotten both networks several times, but with my home one it keeps disconnecting with my work internet connection it connects but sometimes asks me to join then comes up ' Unable to join '
    The App Store and iTunes takes ages to load, sometimes it is quicker without internet!!
    I could get onto both of those apps quickly with the previous download, i current have iOS. 6
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

    I have no more tricks up my sleeve other than maybe it is a firewall issue with your router.
    You can tap or click on the heading below and read Apple's take on the issue. I really don't hold out much hope though that his kb article has any more to offer to you, but I am out of ideas now.

    Hello Lynds1,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1646
    When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message

  • HT204053 When I am purchasing from the app store for free apps my card is not being accepted. It's the same account I keep putting in the 3 digit security code. It still is not accepting it therefore cannot update my games.

    Please can someone help me. I have been using my present account card for almost 2 years. Recently when purchasing free apps from store, I put in my password, then it takes me to my account to enter the security code for my card I do this and I have even re-entered the new card and it's still not accepting it.
    Hence I cannot update or buy until I do this. The same thing happened with my daughters account and had to use her dads card.

    Then Click on the programs that don't seem to be working and insall. This helped me update certain applications that weren't working such as App Store, Font Book, Mail, and any others.
