App Store categories displaying incorrect icons/tumbnails.

Anybody have any ideas? Or experiencing the same issue?
After the OS 3.1 upgrade all category icons are gone and displaying as the first icon in the games category. I've tried doing a restore and it fixes it for a short time but then back to the same issue.
What gives? I thought this upgrade was Beta tested for weeks? What is everyone testing if Apple can't seem to release a reasonably bug free firmware? Seriously, this is a joke! It's problem after problem with this new iPhone 3GS and it's so called firmware updates! Enough, I'm going back to Blackberry where at least their customers are supported and emails were returned from BB. Not a single email to Apple has EVER been returned to me.
Apple, remove the "contact us" link from your website - It's not like you care anyway! I've lost faith in Apple...

BB's are far from stable.. my friend works for a US carrier and over the years has had many versions of the BB and currently has the storm...He has to hard reset a couple times a week to cure the phone after freezing up, it's been replaced under warranty and still the new one does the same...His girl also has the storm and has the same issue, his mother has a different BB version and has to reset it also here and there...
No device will be free of defects in OS versions...although BB doesn't release updates as often, that could also be because over the course of the history of RIM there hasn't been a need to...they haven't changed features or function much at all until the storm platform and what do you know...it's very buggy
I almost share your frustration when it comes to numerous updates...to keep up with simple demand of use the iPhone creates by having so many users, waiting sooo long for an update that would fix certain bugs is simply not an option I'd ever want to see from Apple...
For example when the binary code Hack through SMS was discovered...would you rather Apple have waited until they rolled that into the next "Major" release as you put it...I for one wanted the 3.0.1 even though 3.0 had just released and knowing 3.1 was forthcoming.
All said, glad to hear Apple is aware and your resolve is on its way...

  • Apple App Store "Categories" wont load !

    The Apple App Store(INDIA) refuses to show categories on my ipod touch. When I tap the category pane in the appstore , it shows a blank area(it does not load the categories list) . At first I thought it must be some connectivity issue or something. But looks like many users are facing this problem. Whats more interesting is , all other countries App store displays categories list and works fine on my ipod except for my country's. What is wrong . how do i fix it ??
    PS : Apart from categories , other panes such as "featured" , "top 25" , "search" , "update" everything loads fine ..
    Any help would be appreciated !

    Here s a screenshot .

  • App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

    Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
    OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
    Location : UK
    Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
    Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
    I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
    Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
    Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
    However this did not happen.
    Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
    If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
    The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
    I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
    After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
    I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
    I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
    I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
    I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
    The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
    I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
    In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
    I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
    My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
    Nothing I try will download the app in question.
    The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
    I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
    (Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
    I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
    I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
    Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
    Thanks in advance for any support.

    Hi there.
    Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
    No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
    I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
    While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
    I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
    Thanks again for your help

  • My iPad mini shows 10 updates in the App Store-on the updates icon, but when I click it-the screen is blank. Help!!

    My iPad mini shows 10 updates in the App Store-on the updates icon, but when I click it-the screen is blank. Help!!

    It's a long running glitch, as the hundreds of threads on this topic demonstrate.
    You  can wait it out and wait for Apple to fix the servers or you can go  into your purchased tab and manually download each update (you'll find  the app icons with little update banners on them.
    Alternatively,  if you sync with a computer, you can use the iTunes on your computer to  download the updates then sync them onto your device.

  • App Store Categories error

    Whenever i go to app store and go into categories all the options have the skype icon and say app store. I have done a reset and a full restore neither of which fixed it. I phoned apple support and they had no idea how to fix it, they told me the best that they could do was send it away for a repair. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution or any other information on it?

    On second thought.... don't follow these instructions.... it may appear to work, but its actually showing you the US store... (Noticed this because Pandora is listed, and its a US only music app)
    When you try and purchase anything, it says your account is only valid with the Canadian store, and not valid with the US store.
    Tried to go to settings to fix it, but it also gives the US store error, and wont let me in.
    Synching with iTunes puts you back to the Canadian store, and also brings back the Categories issue... Guess we'll have to wait for apple to fix their Canadian store.

  • Itunes app store is displayed in rubbish text & payment methods

    Hi,
    I've been having problems exploring the Itunes app store, as the text displayed in the page is all in rubbish text/illegible even though I have selected my own country for the store. My other friends does not seem to have this problem. How do I solve this?
    Attached is the screenshot of what I see.
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    (Sorry Dark about the threadjack, side comment to Katrina.)
    Ooops. I guess Helvetica doesn't come with Windows.
    Crikey, you're absolutely right. I'm working off an old work laptop of Helen's which has never had much but Oracle and Office installed on it, and it doesn't have a Helvetica. I checked on the MS Typography page, and couldn't find a mention of it there, either:
    http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/
    Maybe my earlier PCs got Helvetica via a Pagemaker installation? Not sure how else I might have got it.

  • App Store not displaying

    My iPad 3 has up to date ios6, everything has been running fine, except the App Store has stopped working. It opens with the feature tabs at the bottom etc, try's to load then stops with a blank page. I have also noticed the YouTube app has disappeared?
    I have tried the resets including the hard reset, I have checked my user I'd, nothing is working to resolve the issue.
    HELP

    The YouTube app is no longer included in iOS 6. The licensing agreement between Apple and Google expired and they decided to not renew it. There is an iPhone YouTube and an app called Jasmine that will work for YouTube videos. You can also use the mobile YouTube site in Safari.
    Try this for the App Store issue.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
    Or try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

  • App store categories

    How can I change the category in the app store from games to productivity?  In the app store clicking the lower categories button takes me to games, and there is no list to select another category.  The upper left button only allows for game subcategories...  What am I missing?  Thanks...

    are you accessing through iTunes? if so, is there a little left pointing triangle at the top of the iTUnes window? that's your 'back' button within iTunes.

  • IPhone apps store content display problem

    Hi all
    I am experiencing display issues on the apps store on the iPhone only. I'm on 6.1.3 and I don't have the issue on iPad.
    Text is overlapping with pictures and descriptions. It really does look like a mess. Button "buy" or "Free" are enormous. This is impossible to browse properly. I have screenshots to share.
    It is happening for the past 2 weeks now and I thought it was an apple server problem but it persists. I have erased network settings and also all settings. Not content and settings. I don't want to have to do a restore as new just for that.
    Any ideas what to do?

    This is a problem in your phone, not the App store.  Try the following steps as needed:
    1. Reset phone (no data loss):  Press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
    2. After backing up, Restore phone in iTunes using the backup (no data loss).
    3. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup.

  • The apps store and i cloud icons do not appear

    I have a two-day old iPhone 4s.  The apps store icon does not appear.  Under Settings, the iCloud, mail accounts, and twitter are in "inactive" status and cannot be accessed.  Thank you.

    Are these disabled under Settings > General > Restrictions? If not, try resetting the home screen layout by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.
    Still doesn't work? Try a reset.
    Doing a Reset:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
    Good luck
