App store opening from safari ios8

I'm browsing on Safari on iPad Air iOS 8. When going to various websites such as ABC news, Bizpacreview, Reuters etc the app store will spontaniously open and try to get me to download a game. How do I disable the app store from opening except when I explicitly open it

I know it isn't apple doing the hijacking. But it is Apples products that are being hijacked. Since usability and customer experience translate into more purchases and loyalty Apple has a vested interest in helping to fix this. I was hoping that there was an app store or safari setting that I could use. I think that they attempted a fix because from time to time I get a message asking if I want to open the app. Half the time it works and the other half it doesn't.
As to boycotting, one person won't have an impact. All I would be doing is denying myself the pleasure of surfing the news and commenting on articles. No profit to that if you will. Besides if the code is (as I suspect) imbedded in google adwords and other high volume banners then any site can be afflicted. Like I said I was hoping that an obscure setting would lock the appstore.
Complaining to the game site is pretty time consuming but offers a bit of personal satisfaction.
All great feedback. Thanks guys.

  • Can't open App Store links in Safari

    The problem is, basically, whenever I (using my iPhone/Safari) try to click a link to the App store; I get:
    Cannot Open Page
    Safari cannot open the page because too many redirects occurred.
    How to solve it?

    I've got exactly the same problem. I have this with all App store links in Safari and all app store links on other apps. Even Apples own 12 days - I haven't been able to download any of the free gifts, as it opens Safari and then gives the message
    "Cannot Open Page
    Safari cannot open the page because too many redirects occurred."
    I'm using 3GS, Version 3.1.2.
    I've also tried rebooting, and tried going to Settings>>Safari and Clear History, Clear Cache, Clear Cookies. But still the same problem.

  • Every time I go on safari the App Store opens and a William hill app is shown... Really irritating !!!

    Is anybody else having this problem? I google a page and as the page opens the App Store opens and the William hill app is always showing !!! I don't want it lol :p

    Try rephrasing the question: "I have an I pad mini and I pressed an app on my App Store and it froze and every time I go on it it is still on the app". It doesn't make much sense. Perhaps post in your native language.

  • TS1702 My app store, Apple ID, safari, and most other apps do not work after upgrading to iSO 6, How do i solve this problem?

    My app store, Apple ID, safari, and most other apps do not work after upgrading to iSO 6, How do i solve this problem? Can somebody help me please?

    The App store is a problem for many and I have not seen a solution.
    What is "wrong" with your Apple ID?
    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • Why am I not able to access the app store, itunes and safari since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9?

    IT tells me they would have to revert to the old OS which they don't want to do or can't do? I have been two months without access. I am at a loss. any help or guidance would be appreciated. I work for state government and our servers are PC-based which I think where the problem is. Is there a work around to gain access to the app store, itunes and safari. The app store icon indicates I have updates available but I am stuck. Please advise.

    I know safari is mac's native browser. Since updating to OSX10.9, I have not been able to open safari. Firefox works fine but I preferred safari. Safari just won't open, it acts like it wants to, but the progress bar goes about half way across and stops. What other information do I need to supply?
    This is a very frustrating problem when I see that there are updates to apply, but am unable to open the app store to get them. I can't even see them.
    IT, in my opinion, has almost thrown in the towel since they are more PC-based.I believe it is a connection problem but they have been unable to fix it. They blame mac for a hasty upgrade release that was not fully tested to see if there were any Mac/PC connection issues.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • ITunes closes, App Store opens

    I used iTunes once on my iPad. NOS it seems when i open iTunes on my iPad, it loads, shows screen, but then closes and App store opens instead. So i can not browse music ...
    Anyone has an idea?

    Strangely enough I have exactly the opposite problem with the app store opening momentarily when the app store button is pressed, then closing and the iTunes store opening. Tried resetting loads of times yet the same thing happens. Think this may be a bug. Am also running latest operating system and the iPad is not jail broken.
    Anybody got any ideas? Looking around yet can't find anybody else with any solutions apart from reset. Or possibly a complete rebuild .. But as we all know this is a giant time suck.

  • How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    All items that you download from the iTunes store are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account can download updates to its apps.
    If you are referring to apps from the Mac App Store then you will be better off asking in the Using Mac App Store forum (this is the iTunes Store forum).

  • Do i need a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?

    after having my mbp upgraded  with new m.lion by apple tech service i noticed that applications like iphoto, garageband and imovie are gone
    researched online and was told that i had to acess the `purchase` via AppStore where it asks me to log in with Apple ID and password
    i used the usual admin login and password and didnt work, also on itunes and icloud the similar case
    do i need to register with a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?

    Just use the same Apple ID and password that you used to access this forum - that's your Apple ID.
    The user name and password on your computer has nothing to do with your Apple ID.
    Good luck,

  • Can i use app store card from France to buy a game in US store application

    can I use mac app store card from France (Europe ) to buy a game from US app store..my account is register from US.

    No.   The country and the App store are totally related.   If that App is not in the French store then you must wait until it is.

  • Hi, kindly let me know the mode of payments for apps from apps store applicable from India.

    Hi, kindly let me know the mode of payments for apps from apps store applicable from India.

    The valid payment methods should show on the payment details screen on your account - in India they are Visa, MasterCard and AmEx
    Credit cards of those types should work, if you try to use a debit card then it might not be accepted, not all debit cards appear to work in India e.g. Re: can i download from itunes using debit card in india ?

  • Is there a functional advantage in downloading Lightroom from the Mac app store vs from elsewhere?

    Is there a functional advantage in downloading Lightroom from the Mac app store vs from elsewhere?

    No...and in fact there are several disadvantages (notably the easy ability of updating).
    If you have the choice between a regular (real) license and an App Store license, buy the real thing…the App store is a problem...

  • I just loaded snow leopard but removed the the mac app store icon from the doc and now I can't find it

    I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I just loaded the snow leapord onto the computer and accidently removed the new mac app store icon from the dock and now I can't find it. I guess I need it to buy Lion. How do I get it back? It's not in the mac HD apps file. Thanks

    Should be in the Applications folder as "App Store", not as "Mac App Store".
    Check first in the Applications folder accessible via that named item in the Dock (also accessible at (hard drive) > Applications).
    If it's not there, it may be in the Applications folder for your user: (hard drive) > Users > youraccountname > Applications.
