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.

    iPad app store "unknown error" message appears when updating app

    Kathryn,
    Had the problem also.  Found in the forums and it worked for me:
    go to settings
    go to app store or "store" on my ipad
    click on the apple id
    sign out
    sign in, again with id and password
    then do update.
    Hope this helps.

    Try opening the Terminal utility in your system and running the following command to open the system's caches folder:
    open $TMPDIR../C
    Then locate and remove the folder called "com.apple.appstore" and then try relaunching the App Store and downloading the installer again.

    In most cases, you can't use a Debit card anymore. So, either redeem an iTunes gift card or use a credit card.

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 ..

  • App store download error *****...:@

    I've got a low interet connection and so it takes 12 hours for me to download 2GB and each time I get this error and I've downloaded about 10 times.

    Is there any other way to download this upgrade somewhere else..??
    I'm totally f**ked up. Some one please do help me soon...:(

    I got to download from my net connection only and its slow too.
    I also downloaded 10 times 2GB that is about 5 full days my mac was on and yet no solution always getting an error.
    Please help me.
    I don't care one way or another what country your are from or how tensed you are.  You asked if there was someplace else to download it from and I gave you alternatives.  If you don't want to take the time to seek out some other locations, then nobody can help you.  Ask your ISP if they have a 2GB file size limit.

  • HT1338 I have a new mac mini and cannot download mountain lion from apps store gives error

    I have a new 3rd gen i5 intel mini mac and it wont' download ML from app store  it gives the error
    We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer.
    I want to reinstall it for its running to slow and add only what I need.
    it installs on my older mac mini

    Assuming your mini came with ML installed and you have already made a backup of your personal data, restart the computer while also holding down 'Command-Opt-R' and it should reinstall automagically from Apple's servers.

    my next step is to reinstall maverick 10.9.2, but not sure if there is anything else I can do.

    HI,
    Open the Apple icon Menu tiop Left > About this Mac.
    Click twice on the line that tell you the current OS level.
    It will change to the Build number then the Serial Number.
    Is the Serial Number present ?
    Messages has needed it since the OS 10.8.2 Update but recently in Mavericks it seems the issue has raised itself again fro some installs of Mavericks.
    If it is missing you will need to visit a Apple Store and have it replaced.
    It can also be done at Apple Authorised Service Providers (AASP).
