App store loading VERY slow or not at all

Hello.. I hope someone here can help me. Since i upgraded to ios 4 i have been having problems with the app store. It either takes 5 to 15 mins to load then another 5 to 15 mins to update or download an app or it doesn't load at all and kicks me back out to the main screen. seems to be only happening with app store. I have updated to the newest ios, done the soft reset, restored it in iTunes, changed my dns server and just about everything else i can think of as well as everything i have found on the internet. Any1 else having this problem or heard of it ? Or any1 know how i can fix it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I was using iOS 4.1 on my iP4 since last Oct., apart from the sporatic wifi connectivity issue, all was well. The wifi issue kept persisting and nothing I did fixed it (did all the standard troubleshooting...again). Apple Care said I had to update to (at the time) 4.3.3 before they could help me. So I did, didn't help any, but I also noticed how certain things I did was lagging. ie. flipping through the screens, launching and quitting of apps, and yes, accessing the App Store. Everything was taking about 3-4 second longer. . Apple Genius noticed the connection issue as well as the lags, so gave me a new iPhone 4 with 4.3.3. Lags are still there, and App Store is very slow.
As the OP mentioned, it would take forever to just load up pages, when you go to update your apps, you hit Update All, it looks like your phone just froze on you. You can't do anything but hit the home key and go out of the App, and try again, but you still run into the same issue. But if you leave it for about 30-40 sec, it will eventually continue. Or boot you out of the App Store and you have to start all over again. Been like this since June, everytime I go to the App Store. Could be first thing in the morning to 3am, makes no difference what time you go on, it always lags. Does it both on wifi and 3G. Note though, accessing the internet on the iPhone isn't laggy. I would have thought about updating to 4.3.5, but heard that didn't resolve anything. And since iOS 5 is around the corner as with the iPhone 5, I'm just grinning and bearing. As what a lot of iPhone users have been doing as of late. I really do hope that the transition to iOS 5 goes much, much smoother than it did for iOS 4.

Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

App store seems very slow

App store seems very slow on my MacBook Pro. If I turn off Keychain->Preferences->Certificates->CRL then it runs normally, but leaving this off might be a bad idea for security reasons. Is there a better solution?

If you have any third (application enhancers) apps such as Little Snitch or anti virus software installed, that could be why the App Store runs slow for you.

Just upgraded to OS X Lion. Now Safari behaves erratically. Some sights load at lightning speeds, other load painfully slow or not at all. Any ideas here?

I would recommend running Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) and Repairing Disk Permissions. Please run this at least 2x. It that doesn't help then post back, there are many other things to try.

The App Store is very slow

Ever since I first started the App Store, I have been perturbed and annoyed by how slow it is. It takes a full 1 minute and 50 seconds to load! This is entirely down to the Featured page. Clicking on any of the top buttons, and then returning to Featured takes more than a minute and a half.
Now, my iMac is less than a year old, my internet connection is through a cable modem at 10MB and I have the latest version of Mac OS: 10.6.7. These days, having to wait nearly two minutes for a program to show it's front screen, and then spending ten minutes or more just looking at a few options is ridiculous.
I've used Apple computers since the II+, and I am disappointed in this program. The concept of the App Store is excellent, and I am delighted that I can buy iPhoto or Numbers as single purchases. Why should the App Store be so slow? iTunes takes only 10 seconds to load!

HI David,
If you haven't done so lately, you might want to make sure check the startup disk in case it needs repairing. From your admin account launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities). Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab. Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to Verify and Repair Disks
While you have the Disk Utility window open, check Capacity and Available at the bottom of the window. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
If the startup disk is ok, and there's plenty of free disk space, install the v10.6.7 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.7. Make sure and restart your Mac after the updates are installed. Then try the Mac App store.
Check for Login Items. That may be slowing the system down a bit. Open System Preferences/Accounts then select the Login Items tab. Delete any files or apps you have listed there. And go to /Library/Startup Items. Move any files in the Startup Items folder to the Trash.

My macbook pro loading web slow or not at all what can I do???

My mac book pro will not load pages--   how can I fix either will not load or is way to slow??? HELP!!

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
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 documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; 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.
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the boxes marked Safari and Photos, if they're checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

IOS7 on iPhone 4s: Since I have iOS7, my 4s connects very slow (or not at all) to a known Wi-Fi access point (e.g. at home). This this a bug?

Since I have installed iOS7 on my iPhone 4s - 16G, my 4s connects very slowly to my home Wi-Fi network. Sometimes it even doesn't connects at all. Which result in a higher mobile data usage (and thus higher bill at the end of the month).
Can this error be solved in iOS 7.0.4?

ITunes is not loading. App store loading slowly. iPhone 5

Both of the programs open, but the contents are not loading properly.
Why?

Hi wordsareuseless,
When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following articles provide the best information:
First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and sign back in.
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
- Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
- Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
- Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
- Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
- Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
- If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionsoriOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Thanks,

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Why I lost all the apps needed to be update in the app store icon while I have not updated them yet? Please help.

I am using iPhone 4, and I had about 50 apps needed to be updated, which is stated in the App Store icon. I have not had time to update them until today. However, when I was ready to update all the apps, I found out that there was not any apps in the App Store icon needed to be update. Does anyone knows why? Please help. Thank you very much!

This morning I had the same issue - even though I have pending updates, the app store badge is gone and it says all apps are up to date. I, like many others I'm sure, selectively update apps based on reviews. I'm sure there is either an app store refresh/update on Apple's end or a run on the app store causing errors or issues.
VZW iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

I just installed Yosemite. iPhoto is gone, and Photos does not open. Instead, I am prompted to update to the latest version. The App Store tells me that is not available in the US. What do I do? Cannot access any photos.
