App Store failure after restore
My HDD crashed, I restored it from Time Capsule. Now App Store does not work. Any hints? Thanks, Aaron
Install the Mac OS X Update Combo and perhaps it will fill in the gaps and fix any corruption that has been caused by your backup and restore scheme.

App Store Missing After Restore of 10.6.8
Hello everyone. I recently did a Time Machine backup from a point just before I replaced my hard drive and re-installed the OS, etc. The MacBook Pro was at 10.6.8 when I did the restore...and most everything looks fine (so far) with one obvious exception: The App Store dock icon was showing a question mark. When I looked in Applications, sure enough...it wasn't there any longer.
I did some reading and tried installing the 10.6.8 Update Combo...but still no luck. I'd like to get this working so I can download Lion and install it on the machine. I just got a Mac-mini that's running Lion and it appears I need to get this MacBook Pro on Lion before I can create a Time Machine backup that I can then restore onto the new computer. That will save me a lot of manual moving/installing, not to mention that I'd just like to have the App Store back on the MacBook Pro.
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.Manually download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo, it is a safe install over your existing version and may fill in any blanks that are there.

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.www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account

Does anyone know how to resolve the problem of apps not being able to download in the App Store? After the IOS 6 update I haven't been able to download any apps.
Maybe here:
IOS 6 App store crash: Apple Support Communities -
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. -
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.

Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading
Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading -- this means I can't get to the store
i have resolved the issue.
I had to close down the App Store, re-open it, and in the purchases tab the error disappeared and the option to resume the download was there again. However, I have spent the last 3 days opening and closing the program, restarting my computer. There is obviously a problem with this because there are other users who've had the same issue. Its frustrating because Apple has already taken my $20. I could have easily gone to a store to buy it if I could. -
I have purchased some app's like Whatsapp, Flashlight and more from App Store and after about 3 days of usage, all refuse to open up. I have received acknowledgement of payment via email. What should I do to reinstate them?
BRAWO!!!! It solves the problem.
Just hope that i would not be forced to download free Apps every thir day.
Here by us in South Africa, downloads is costing one.
Anyhow, thank you once more. -
How to get a refund for app store purchases after 90 days
Is it possible to recieve a refund for App store purchases after 90 days have passed. In my case I purchased several apps by the same developer which cost around £10 in total, but due to a recent update they are now unusable and lead to frustration as they are impossible to use. The initial purchase was longer than 90 days ago, however the most recent update that has lead to the faulty item was probably within the last 90 days.
many thanks.Click Contact Us at the bottom of this page and contact iTunes support and ask.
In general, all sales are final. -
The "app store" did not restore on my new 4s.
Yesterday I got a new "replacement" iphone 4s. Left the Apple store prematurely before I realized the "App store" had not restored to the new phone. I was able to update to 7.0.4 yesterday. However, no app store can be found. How can I get it on my phone without going back to the Apple store?
The App store is a native iOS app. It cannot be deleted. Check in all of the folders on your device. You can also do a search and see where it is on the device. Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If that doesn't do it, then go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you have Restrictions turned on. If you still cannot locate it, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

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
MarcinFollowing 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. -
I upgraded the OS on my iMac to Lion from the App store; and after installation, it restarted and now the operating system won't start up.... it keeps displaying the apple/folder with a question mark and a circle with a line through it! Please help!
Try starting up with your Snow Leopard DVD and see if the disk can be repaired. Once you are at the installer screen go to the Utilities Menu and choose Disk Utility and choose repair disk. You might also want to try Diskwarrior.
Hope this helps.

Why doesn't my App store work after upgrading to 6.0
IPad 2 wifi
Just got it back from the shop and they did a reset. When I was updating the IPad so it had the apps I wanted, one of the apps stated I had to have 6.0. I thought why not. Since the update, I have not been able to see my list of programs in the App Store under purchased. It cycles for 5 minutes and then shuts down the App prog. Took it in to the Apple store and they did all sorts of things to it (mostly through information provided through the communities, Not Apple) and said I had to restore it again. Wipe and restore it and now it has no Apps other than the original and my list of downloaded programs are still inaccessible. All other functions of the App Store program worked.
Just as a funny FYI, I downloaded the updated 10.7 ITunes to my laptop and it doesn't have access to my account either. Just cycles and says the web site cannot be found. Have another computer with 10.6 and the list works fine.
So now in order to find out what I had on my IPad, I have to either wait for an update to unscrew this mess, or downgrade to 5.1.1 (which isn't available through apple), or go through a list of 4000+ apps and games and hope that I can find the ones that I had before.
I am used to this kind of crap through a PC based system so I learned to make backups. I guess I need to start learning if apple has a way to do that now because they are as screwed up as PC's.I would suggest deleting the Safari Preference Files and Caches.
To do this:
Go to Apple Menu Bar> Go> Library. (You must hold the option key to have the Library option be shown in the menu).
Then go to the Caches folder and look for a folder that says "com.apple.safari" or something similar. Drag that folder to the Trash.
After that, go to the Preferences folder in the Library and look for a file called "Safari.plist" or something similar. Again, drag that file to the Trash.
Close the Finder window and relauch Safari.
Hope this helps!
