App store browsing problem

When growing apps on my iPad, I select one to read the details. When I select "Back," the page goes back to the first page of listings. Also, I have selected "Most Popular," but it reverts to "Newest Released." How to fix?

I really hate this when it happens wail browsing the app store. Send feedback to Apple. Anothr letter on the pile might wake Apple up and compel them to fix it. I think this is the only issue that everyone has agreed on...!

IPhone app store downloading problem

I have iPhone app store downloading problem (iOS 5). I could not download or update any software successfully from yesterday. Every app shows "waiting for download" but nothing happen for two days. It seems my app store does not connect to server. I use same account in my iPad, but it works normal. So, what happen to my iPhone? Please help me!

Hold the home button and lock button for 10 seconds to reboot the iPhone.

Problem with Icon in App Store Browse Screen

Hi folks,
My app just got approved and I can search for and install it fine. However, when I browse for it on the App Store, I get a black box where my logo should be:
<image not shown but it's self-explanatory>
Now it's possible that this is because my logo is black on transparent, but other boxes here show other colors (like white, light blue, etc.) How do I set that so my icon shows up? Also, do I need to go through another approval process to make
this change?
The icon looks correct in the search screen, so this is a bit irritating.
Bill

Hi Bill,
I would suggest you resubmit the app again, and make notes to the testers that you are only updating the app icon. If the issue persists, go ahead and open
support ticket so this can be looked into further.
Thanks,

Itunes 9 a let-down, app store browser user-unfriendly?

Hi,
maybe I'm just missing something, but I find that that the new version is a let down. It's slow as ever and the appstore page is totally cluttered. There's so much talk of the endless number of applications that have been developed for the iphone. But finding what you're looking for can be a right pain, because the start page shows nothing but the most popular ones and the browser is in my opinion really user-unfriendly.
First you need to select app store, then click on a category, wait a while and eventually the list builds up right in front of you. But take a closer look and you'll see that a. the table is the same as for mp3/songs (trackname, released, genre (I am using the German version and don't know the English equivalent).
Next you select a line if you see something that catches your eye and would love to get more details, but there are none. Do a right click on the same line and the a window will pop up that makes a lot of sense for mp3s (the one with trackname, tracknumber, album name, realease date, cover picture etc) but is utterly useless if you're looking for an application. Wouldn't it make sense to show the details of the application in a pop-up window, although, sure this could also be implemented in a different way.
In any case it goes from bad to worse, because say you double-clicked on a line, read the application description, and decided it's not what you're looking for - how do you get back to the previous list?
Easy you think. Just click the little arrow in the top left of the app store window, but truth is the arrow takes you back to the very front page of the app store, which means that you have to select brows from the quick links section and so on and so forth one more time. It wouldn't be so bad if Itunes weren't so sluggish.
Any help or ideas appreciated.
Regards
Stephan

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Another App Store Updates problem

I can fire up App Store just fine and get to "Featured" and all of the sections except "Updates" where
it spins then provides the "the app store is temporarily unavailable. please try again later" popup.
This was happening on 10.8.4 so I upgraded from an already downloaded copy of 10.8.5.
This didn't fix the problem.
I checked the logs and am getting messages like these:
Dec 13 18:29:32 gondor App Store[873]: FRWebDelegate: Received http status code 500 on response.
Dec 13 18:29:42 gondor storeagent[235]: CKSoftwareMap: updateRequestBodyData:includeInstalledApps:includeBundledApps:conditionally:had UnadoptedApps:waitUntilMapIsLoaded: timed out waiting for mdSemaphore
Fortunately, I am able to go to the command line and use the softwareupdate program and do my updates manually so I know that the problem is at the App Store leve.
So, how do I get Updates to work again? I've done stuff like Repair Disk Permissions and Verify Disk, reinstalled iTunes and a few other things but nothing seems to work.
Thanks,

Back up all data.
Quit the App Store application if it’s running. Wait at least 10 seconds before continuing.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.appstore
Caches/com.apple.storeagent
Caches/storeagent
Containers/com.apple.appstore
Cookies/com.apple.appstore.cookies
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.appstore.*.plist
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.storeagent.*.plist
Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
Here * stands for a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes. Leave the Library folder open. Try the App Store again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit again and wait 10 seconds. Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plistTest. If the App Store now works, delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit again. Put back the file you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place, and continue.
Step 3
If you still have problems, quit the App Store again.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
open $TMPDIR../C
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). Depending on which web browser you use, you may have to press the return key. A folder should open. Inside that folder, there may be subfolders with the names
com.apple.appstore
com.apple.WebKit.WebContent+com.apple.appstore
If so, delete them. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

Iphoto, the App Store, iMessage problems on OSX 10.8.5

I have a couple of problems.
Firstly, my imessage does not work. When I send messages it does not deliver them, and puts this little red exclamation point next to the message. When Imessge is not active i recieve old texts from weeks ago in the top right hand cornor of my computer. When i click on it and want to send an imessage it does not let me.
Second, iphoto. Is there any way to speed up iphoto? It runs espically so compared to other programs. I realize that I do have around 10,000 picutures, but shouldnt it be able to handle it?
Lastly, the App Store. This gives me the most difficulties. I have updates and it will not let me download them. I have to accept purchases but just like the downloads, when i click on the accept button it will not actually do it. It just clicks it. One of the biggest problems is that it will not let me even sign in the my account. I have tried different tactics but everytime i click on a sign in option, it does the same thing as when i click download or accept. How do i fix this? Do I uninstall the app store? but then i dont know how to get it back.
Note: Imove, iphoto, and bascally everything else came with the mac when i bought it. I did not buy these separate from the app store and such.
This is getting very frustrating. Thank you for your help if there is any!

This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

App store browser on iPad loses it's place

While browsing the app store, after viewing an app's detail, the browser frequently starts over at the 1st screen of apps in the category - rather than where I was previously browsing.
This is very frustrating - especially in a category of thousands of apps.
When can this bug be fixed ?

This is related to the amount of free RAM - there isn't enough to remember its place. Try double-clicking the home button, then tap and hold on the icons that appear. When they jiggle, tap the top left corner to close apps. iOS is supposed to manage this by itself, and on the whole it does, but it isn't perfect.

App Store browsing still rough around the edges

So here is a frustrating experience with the App Store application. Not sure if this happens in iBooks, etc but I'm sure other people can validate.
So I am browsing for an app I want to buy. Let's say I want to browse the entire apps for children section. I go into the popular/best selling apps list and I move the list across and see that the 41st app might be kind interesting. So I touch (click) on it and it takes me to the details of that app. Now this is all working as expected. However, when I go back a page, it starts back at the original view. i.e. Listing apps #1, #2, etc...so again, I have to scroll to the 41st app to start where I left off last. I do this a few times, at the 50th app and then the 55th app and everytime I go back a page, I am presenting with an increasingly irritating view of the list from position #1 again.
Can we please have an App store app that remembers where you were and what position in the page you were on so when users go back a page, we are presented with the page and section of the page where we left off? Please???

According to the T&Cs, Apple monitors/filters these forums and;
General Clause 6. Apple involvement. Apple does not formally provide technical support on the Site. However, any information that is provided by Apple or Apple employees is offered on an “AS IS” basis without warranties of any kind.
So I would suggest that Apple does monitor it for this kind of input but may choose not to respond which I am fine with.
However, thanks for the feedback link. I will post it in there as well.

App store feature problem

Hi,i can't access with my app store feature and top charts.Kindly assist me pls.Im being this problem for 3months.pls

my problem is the users already purchased the app should have 1 year validity ,after that i want the user to use "Update Subscription".
Can you explain this a bit more? Users who purchase the app should have a 1 year validity for what? Are you talking about the app purchase or the in-app purchase? Are you talking about future in-app purchases or people who have already purchased your app before you added the in-app purchase feature?
Can i get the Purchase date of the app based on the user from app store.
Yes. When your app completes the in-app purchase, it should forward the receipt to your server, which will verify it with iTunes, and complete the transaction. All the details are here.

I had the same problem. Go to Store---View My Account and then click edit on your billing information. You may need to retype in your credit card security code. It was blank on mine and after I typed it in I was able to download the app.

App store browsing

I am absolutely stunned at how poorly the app store is implemented on the iPad. There is no way to refine categories (types of games for instance) and browsing very deep into a category is almost painful and for some reason the most useful app discovery tool for me on my iPod, the top free and top paid for each category is not in the iPad version. Am I completely paranoid for thinking Apple has some reason for intentionally making app discovery more difficult and painful? Perhaps to increase to their ability to pick winners but featuring them?

10.8.4 Update - App Store - Waiting Problem?

I checked for updates last night and the App Store opened and said 10.8.4 was available. I clicked 'update' and it showed as 'waiting'. This morning, fifteen hours later, the App Store still shows 'waiting'. I am unable to log out or shut down. I get a couple differnent info boxes when trying, one says "OS updates must complete before App Store can quit, and the other says "Can not quit when updates are in progress". When looking at my switch, it doesn't appear data is being transfered. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I'm unable to log off so my wife can log in. I'm not at my machine but have kept my software up to date so I'm positive I'm running 10.8.3.
Thanks much.

Yes, I was able to download it but I didn't interupt the download...
A tip for the future. Instead of relying on the App Store for system updates, you can go here and get them directly, cancel them in the middle if the connection is too slow, and install them when it's convenient for you rather than the App Store. Moreover, you can choose to download and use the combo updater rather than the incremental version. The combo is larger but installs all the updates released since the original version of Mountain Lion, which can fix a lot of incipient problems.

Aperature App store download problem

I have Aperture 3 running on iMac 10.7.3. When I downloaded the new version from the App store I get an erros saying "Check with the developer to make sure Aperature works with this version on Mac OS X. It has been working fine up until now." Any suggestions?

Hallo,
the errorlog you posted shows, that Aperture crashes with a very typical error message: Do you have by any chance installed "Final Cut" lately? The error message is, that a Framework is missing in your system library:
/Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
Open your System Library by using the Finder "GO" menu:
Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder and enter: /Library/Frameworks
Then browse this folder and see, of the framework really is missing.
If that is really the case, either try to restore this Framework from your TimeMachine Backup or reinstall the Operating System - this should restore the framework.
Post back, if you need further assistance

Léonie
