App store broken after 3.1 update

When I go to the app store and go to categories all I see is a single app icon repeated over and over(skype), and the categories names all say App Store. If I hit a categorie it takes me to the Featured page. The Featured, Top 25, Search and Update pages all work fine. Been like this snice the day after the update. I am using the Canadian app store. Please dont suggest a restore as it didnt work. The iTunes music store on mine also did this the night before the update where all the genres were the same. So it may be on apples side of things for all I know.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Edit 1: Checked a few other sites appears to be on apple's end. As well as only tied to Canadian app store.

I saw several posts about this matter BEFORE I updated to v3.1.1, while I was running v3.0. So I went and checked it out and sure enough, running v3.0 had the same problem. This is also with the Canadian App Store.
Bottom line: v3.1.1 has nothing to do with this problem, it was there when running with v3.0. For people seeing that problem in the App Store after updating to v3.1.1, don't bother messing around with the update because it has nothing to do directly with the App Store issue.

  • App Store broken after updates

    OSX 10.9.5, App Store Version 1.3 (201.7)
    After updating some software, the App Store broke, looks like the CSS is not loading. Furthermore, "Some updates could not be installed automatically" - the App Store icon shows "1" in red circle, in it the Update part also shows "1", but clicking on Updates icon displays nothing.
    I've sign out of App Store, and after than i cannot sign in back (connection failed).
    Also, the suport page in safari looks broken too:
    Please advise

    Following the updating of a number of iPad apps on my MacBook Pro today (April 18) I had EXACTLY the same problems occur as mzagor described in an earlier post. Everything seems identical in my screen displays to the screen shots shared by mzagor, with the addition in my case of the iTunes Store not loading and throwing up error message windows stating that,  "iTunes can't verify the identity of the server "init.itunes.apple.com". The certificate for this server is invalid. ..."   7 additional similar certificates follow as iTunes attempts to log in to other Apple servers.
    I spent over an hour on the phone with an Apple tech, not knowing that others were having a similar issue as I. We almost got to the point of reinstalling Mavericks - but I balked at that. The well meaning tech suggested that this could be a hardware issue and that I should have the computer checked at an Apple Store (90 minutes away). 
    HOWEVER!  on this same MacBook Pro, I can, using a DIFFERENT User login (which had been previously created) successfully log into;
    -  the iTunes Store,
    - the App Store, and get to
    - the Apple web site Support section through Safari,
    without any issues or error messages and with the each of the screen displays showing up as they should. I can log into my Apple ID account without issue.
    It would appear that there is a connection to the stated difficulties I am experiencing, with the act of updating apps using the App Store in Mavericks (v10.9.5)
    Hopefully, the issue will be acknowledged and a solution will be found and shared quickly.

  • Failed to verify preflight file ... App Store broken after Mavericks upgrade

    I upgraded my OS X to Mavericks and the install was very smooth. Since then, however, I cannot update any apps or purchase new ones in the App Store. I receive a message saying "Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple. The application will be available from the Purchases page." Unfortunately the same thing happens when I use the Purchases page as well.
    Am I doing something wrong or did something break with App Store after my installation?

    What worked for me was changing the certificate preferences in Keychain Access (open Keychain Access app and then go to preferences).
    I just changed both of the first two options to 'Best Attempt', they were originaly at 'Require if certificate indicates'.
    Hope this Helps

  • App Store crashes after 2.02 update!

    i just updated my iPhone firmware to 2.02 hoping that this would fix the keyboard lag, i found that this has fixed the problem however when i browse on the App store it crashes! it would take around 2-3 minutes for it to return to the home screen or even reset my whole phone itself! has anyone had the same issue?
    thanks in advance

    Well being as the app store on the iphone is a big no no right now, because installing apps or updating them tends to corrupt the data. I wouldn't worry. The apps corrupt date leads to the dreaded extremely long never ending backup issue.
    Have you tried a restore in iTunes to fix the problem?

  • How can I remove updated apps on app store page after they are updated and say open?

    HOW CAN I REMOVE UPDATED APPS FROM UPDATE PAGE ON IPAD3 IOS7 AFTER THEY ARE UPDATED AND SAY OPEN?

    You don't.
    Apple has instituted auto updating , this is a feature for users to check what has updated recently.
    The open button opens the app.
    It will keep a rolling list, about 20-3O days back.

  • Mac App store broken after restoring Lion

    Here is what I did:
    I deleted all the data on my harddrive, and reinstalled lion using built-in internet recovery.
    The problem:
    The Mac app store is extremely slowly - to the point of non-responsive.
    It won't let me install any of my applications. Clicking on the "install" button next to an item in the "purchased" section does nothing.
    I have already confirmed by billing information.
    There are no error messages. It just doesn't respond. It takes ages for any screen to load. It doens't make much sense - my internet connection works fine, as I can browse websites in safari without any problem.
    What do I need to do to fix this? Right now there is no other software installed except the default that Lion installs.
    Thanks.
    EDIT: iTunes seems messed up too. When I click on "purchased" in the apps section, all I get is a blank white screen.

  • ITunes and App Store broken after recent update

    There were updates that appeared today for Epson and Lexmark printers, as well as a security fix.  I started it on one Mac in our studios and it's NOT happy on reboot.  None of our iCloud accounts can log in and we get errors trying to connect iTunes using anyone's account.  Errors are:
         iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server “init.itunes.apple.com”.
         iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server “p55-buy.itunes.apple.com”.
         iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server “xp.apple.com”.
         iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server “play.itunes.apple.com”.
         iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server “securemetrics.apple.com”.
    and they all  say:
         The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “play.itunes.apple.com”, which could put your confidential      information at risk. Would you like to connect to the server anyway?
    If the page does load, we're not getting full graphics, like the full HTML isn't loading.
    I tried it on a second Mac, confirming the login worked, then started the update.  Update HUNG with 10-seconds to go and sat there for almost 30-minutes.  We forced a shut-down/reboot and now have the same results with all iCloud accounts.
    Any ideas?

  • I cannot open iphoto, this message occurs each attemptTo open this Aperture library in iPhoto, you need Aperture 3.3 or later. Click Update Aperture to buy the latest version of Aperture from the Mac App Store.  After installing the update, open your

    i do not have Apeture, nor do i want it, how can i access iphoto ?

    When did this problem first occur? Directly after you upgraded to Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6?  Or after a crash?
    If this happened directly after the upgrade, look into the iPhoto library package, but do not change anything there - be very careful.
    A healthy iPhoto Library should look like this, when you ctrl-click it in the Finder and use the commend "Show Package Contents".
    First of all - does the iPhoto Library show the correct "fan of Pictures" icon?
    Is there an additional folder "Old Masters" in addition to your folder "Masters"?
    When you select the file "Info.plist", does the preview show correctly iPhoto Library 9.6?
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>

      <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
      <string>9.6</string>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    If it is not showing iPhoto but Aperture, try to trick iPhoto in opening the library by setting the File extension of the iPhoto Library to "photolibrary"
    But if you are seeing a folder "Old Masters" in your library, you are having a bad library corruption. Then look into that folder, if it contains any photos and post back.

  • Messages.app no longer connects to Jabber after App Store auto-installed Remote Desktop Update 3.8.2

    Messages.app no longer connects to my company's Jabber server after App Store auto-installed Remote Desktop Update 3.8.2 (even though I never purchased that app). The Remote Desktop app can not be found anywhere on my machines.
    I suspect the Remote Desktop update because Messages stopped connecting on my office MB Air after the update but still worked on my home iMac. Next day the iMac received the update and Messages stopped connecting on that machine too.
    Messages attempts to connect for several minutes (it's been trying for 30 mins as I type this) and just hangs. Occasional I get the following error message:
    Error: Messages lost the connection to the Jabber account 'account'. A network error occurred.
    I've tried:
    - Deleting and recreating the Jabber account in Messages.app
    - Toggling on/off SSL (SSL required by our server)
    - Toggling on/off auto detect server and port (port 5222 on our server)
    - Deleting every plist, cache, etc., I could find in the Library for any IM client I've ever used
    - Checked that Keychain trusts the Jabber server SSL certificate (it is a self signed cert)
    - Tried connecting from three completely different networks including the company VPN
    - Multiple PRAM resets
    - Setup a Google Talk account in Messages - works fine
    I'm at a loss...

    I installed and setup Adium. Adium works but Messages.app still does not connect to Jabber.

  • App store problem after updating OS to Mavericks.  Ended up deleting app store.  How do I get it back?

    I upgraded to Mavericks.  When I tried to update my apps in the appstore, I was getting prompted to enter in a password for someone else's Apple Id.  I have no idea who this person is and I could not change the ID.  I was logged into the App Store under MY id but for whatever reason when i chose to update an app, I was prompted with this person's ID. I researched this and someone in a forum suggested deleting the app and reinstalling it.  I have app zapper so I zapped the app and I no longer have an app store..  I also have no way of getting the app store back.  Apparently, it's part of Mavericks.  I cannot even reinstall Mavericks because Mavericks is only attainable through the App store.
    I have a big problem don't I?
    I recovered the files that app zapper "zapped" from my trash.  They are as follows:
    One "app store" folder that contains a file called: updatejournal.plist
    One "AppStore" folder that contains a file called: manifest.plist
    And a file called com.apple.appstore.plist
    How can I get app store working again?
    And then there's the issue with this person's apple ID.  How do I get the app store to purge this person's login?  My machine is an Apple Refurbished so perhaps the person who is attached to the store is the person who bought the machine new?  I have no clue.  I do think it's a huge security flaw on Apple's part to expose a stranger's login information
    Help is immensely appreciated.
    Thanks.

    There are a few things you need to do.
    A.
    Remove "App Zapper" according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again.
    B.
    Deleting system components is never the solution to any problem.
    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.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
    C.
    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • App Store broken in OS X Mavericks

    After Installing OS X Mavericks on my Mac Book Air the App Store no longer works. The app store loads and says that I have 1 update available but it doesn't show the availbale update. All the other tabs (Features, Top Charts, Categories, and Purchases) are blurred-out and can't be selected. I also cannot click into the seach area. Clicking Apple>software updates and Apple>app store both do not help. Its seems as if the app store is frozen and it won't reload no matter how many times I restart the app or my Mac Book Air.
    This really worries me because the only whay I can upgrade to the next version of mavericks, presumablly with some bugs fixes, is through the app store, which is broken. Is there some reset for tha app store that I can help?

    In my case, the App Store offered me updates for Pages, Numbers and Keynote. All 3 updated OK, but App Store is still offering an update for the already-updated Keynote. If I click on update, nothing happens - presumably because it's already been updated. Here's a screen shot:

  • My Iphone 4S keeps telling me to reset my password with the app store, and after I do, it still says it needs to be reset and won't let me sign in

    My Iphone 4S asked me to reset my password for the app store, but after I reset it, it still asked me again as if it were invalid.  what to do?

    Okay - tried that and it didn't work either. HOWEVER ...
    I SEEM TO HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE! If this happens to anyone else, this might help you ...
    A while back I had to set up a second apple ID in order to use the iCloud. So now I have two (annoying), and from what I'm reading on forums, this has happened to many people and you still can't merge accounts. But I digress.
    Apparently the apps in question were purchased on one apple ID, but the phone had the other apple ID set within the app store. The store, it seems, will only update the apps if you're logged in as the account that initially purchased the apps. So it means going to Settings > Store > Log out, then log back in with the other ID. Annoying. But at least I know, now, what's going on.
    The password, it seems, was right all along (since I have the same password for both IDs). Too bad the phone's error message told me the password was incorrect, instead of saying something more useful like "This apple ID is not authorized to update this app." Or ... something like that. Apparently I've been chasing down the wrong solution due to the wrong error message being given.

  • HT203421 I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps.  Does anyone know what is happening

    I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps.  Does anyone know what is happening here? Even updating an older game app resulted in the original game icon changing to the new identical icon that all new apps are appearing with.  This new icon is like a page with a ruler, pencil and paintbrush. Any tips on how to stop this or how to revert to the icon as it appears on the app store would be appreciated.
