App store apps won't work. help!!

I payed for and downloaded firmware 2.0 and installed a few apps (facebook, eBay, aim) but when I try to load them, the app immediately shuts down and returns to the home screen. I've tried restarting my iPod but that doesn't help either.
Any suggestions??
P.S. I downloaded the apps directly onto the iPod; no computer was used in downloading the apps

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app(s) in your purchase history. If there's a button markedACCEPT on the right, click it.
Step 2
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 3
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
Step 4
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 5
Delete the app(s) you want to update and reinstall them.

IOS app store updates won't work

What happens is this:
The App Store icon shows that an update is available for some app. When I tap on it, then select Updates (so I'll know which app needs updating), it says all apps are up to date!
This happens on the iPad and jPhone both. iOS 6.0.1.
Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?

Well if it works OK elsewhere then I would be inclined to think that the Router is the point of failure. This is what I would do.... Check the supplier for any firmware upgrade. Then I would be inclined to run a backup on the configuration then reset the router and then power it off and on and then logon as the administrator setup the same configuration as it used to be [backup and restore]. Get the iPhone to forget the network or you can reset the Network Settings/General/Reset/Network Reset which is probably a better option. Power everything OFF [cold start] Power up the Modem first then the router and then the iPhone connect to the network. On the router set the IP lease for the iphone to never expire. If that does not work see if you can borrow another router and set it up at your location and see if that works. Good Luck..

ICloud/iTunes store/Mac App store login won't work

Hi there,
for about a week now I've been having troubles on my MBP (mid-2009, running 10.8.2). I can't seem to connect to my iCloud account from this MBP (on the other hand, iMac and iOS devices still working flawlessly with iCloud). It started first with iMessage shutdown, and later I found out my iTunes and Mac App accounts won't load as well (again, working flawlessy on iMac). Therefore I can't even update to 10.8.3.
What could be the problem? Has anyone else experienced anything of the kind? This is really weird, as I don't think I made any change to pretty much anything when the iMessage stopped working and everything else ensued....
please, help!

oh, I forgot, when I try to log in to the icloud thru the system settings, It takes forever (spinning wheel) and ends with a message stating: "You can't seem to log in at this time. Try it later" or something like that. I've tried reboot and everything, but to no avail.

Hook it up to your computer and open itunes. try to download hte apps via your computer. Every time you update hte software you have to reagree to the itunes terms of service. Sometimes it's hard to get it to come up on the device, but is easier on a computer.

The "App Store" app in Launchpad won't work

When you go into Launchpad, the "App Store" app will not work, nothing happens. The problem began a couple of weeks ago. I can't pinpoint any significant events (downloads, new apps, etc.) involving the computer at the time. Any solutions to fixxing the problem?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

You've tried deleting and redownloading them and seeing if they then work and tried contacting the developers ? If you have and they can't/won't help then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

TS1702 I downloaded the iPhoto app and it won't work

I downloaded the iPhoto app and it won't work. I keeps saying quit unexpectedly.

OK, then I'd suggest you ask for assistance in the iPhoto forum:

This isn't an iTunes Store issue, so this isn't the forum where you'll be most likey to get help.

App Store version won't open. "Warning. The Library in "Users/me/Pictures/A

App Store version won't open. When I click on the icon, I get the following pop-up. "Warning. The Library in "Users/me/Pictures/aperture library.aplibrary" cannot be upgraded" and then an option to quit. So the App does not even launch. I deleted and re-downloaded it and the same happens. It is a new 15" Mac pro, all software up to date. I use iPhoto for all my existing photos, located in the Pictures folder on the hard drive (all default settings). Help please appreciated.

Thank you. That did it, but now when I have imported from iPhoto library, all my pictures are coming out with patches of Blue or Red (a bit like when you are selecting areas for instant alpha, or when looking for blown out areas of a photo (I am no pro as you can tell). This is the case on most photos (around 9000). Could you help here too?
Thanks,
Ian

The App Store search has stopped working since I updated to 8.2 on iPad

Hi
since I updated my software to 8.2 on my iPad the App Store search has stopped working but other features work on the App Store only the search option is not responding and says " the App Store is temporary unavailable please try again later "
I have turned my iPad off and on couple of times but with the same result each time.
the 8.2 update is for the new Apple watch and health app.
can any one help?

Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
Do not change your settings.

Hi,
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If after reboot that doesn't help...
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

TS1702 my apps store screen won't move off Newstand. I am unable to select any options eg; updates

My apps store screen seems to be frozen on Newstand. I am unable to move from this section. I an unable to select any other alternatives eg; when I select updates nothing happens. When I select select categories nothing happens.

Try closing the App Store app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

What have to do to solve this problem?

You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software, if you know what it is, according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

App store app won't open

Since last night, I have a weird problem on my iPad. The App Store app on my iPad won't open. I.e. it will start up (and it has enough time to actually connect to iTunes store and find that updates are available), but then it immediately takes me to iTunes app before I can interact with it. That way, I can neither update apps from my iPad nor buy new ones directly.
Oddly enough, this only happens with my UK account; my German and US accounts work fine, and it also works normally on my iPhone 4, and until now it never caused problems.
I've synced the iPad several times with my Mac, I've restarted it, I've signed out an in again into my iTunes account from within the iTunes app, still the same behaviour.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any tips?

I just got the same problem on my iPhone 3G after trying to update Skype. I was logged into UK account and it came up with the usual [Account not valid for store] message, instead of opening the proper store as usual and allowing me to login with US account, the app store just started redirecting to itunes. And the update was stuck. After 2 reboots I was able to use Skype again, but the App store is still broken. Tried the same thing with logining in and out, but can't get to the store with my UK or US account. Did a resync to the computer as well and same issue, contemplating a restore now....

TS1702 App Store shows I have 2 updates, but when I go to App Store it won't load the updates screen but will load all other menus.

I have the same problem. Closed App Store after double tapping Home button twice. I tried logging out of App Store and back in. Also did App Store updates in computer and updated everything when i synced iPhone with iTunes. Nothing works. App Store updates still frozen in iPhone.

HT201272 the app store app crashes/closes when i try doing a search. can anyone help?

the app store app crashes/closes when i try doing a search. can anyone help with this?

Mines been doing it for at least 6 months.Support had me do a reset and when that didnt work,they convinced me to update to version 11.That was a waste of time... Even if I open the App Store with nothing but basic utilitys loaded on my iPad,the App Store closes/crashes for no "Obvious" reason.However internal diagnostics show the cause is that the App Store is overloading the iPads processor.I have tons of memory on my iPad (64GB) but apparently the newer versions of the iTunes App Store are overloading it, (Even in a stripped down state).
Solution? I have never gotten any helpfull answers from support in nearly 6 months.So, other than reverting to an even earler version of iTunes (Pre version 10.7 at least for me),or using something like the "Apple Sliced "App... Most of them are free,and have a few good features, but all that I've tried are are less usefull for doing App searches.
It was a real shock to me ,when support claimed it had never heard about this issue before.These forums would indicate differently.It seems really stupid to design a basic utility, that a fair number of customers wont be able to use, and recieve no warning before encouraging us to install it..
