App Store problem - blank screens

I'm getting blank screens in App Store on my iPad 3 with ios 6 - charts and categories screens are blank. Blank screens also when redirected to a particular app from a web page link. Wife has same iPad and hers works perfectly. Have rebooted, turned off and confirmed good wifi signal etc. everything else seems to be working. Any ideas please?

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Categories in App Store are blank

    in iTunes for Windows, I go to the App Store dropdown and select a category and It comes up with a blank screen.
    Podcasts, Music, etc. work fine for categories, it's just the
    App store where they don't.
    I'm on iTunes 9.0.2.25

    Same things happen here! The categories in the iPhone app store becomes blank since Friday afternoon. I am in Hong Kong and this happens to the Hong Kong, Taiwan, China iTune stores. I also login to the US and Japan stores, but they were both fine!
    This especially impact me because I am an iPhone app developer and my app was on the top paid app list of travel. Suddenly, people loss direct access to my app in the store through browsing!
    Hope Apple notice and fix this problem soon!

  • Since the update, the update page in the app store is blank.

    Since the update to iOS6.1.1, the update page in the app store is blank and won't load.
    There is the symbol for updates to run, though.

    And weeks later, March 2nd, this is still a problem. Why hasn't Apple fixed this yet?

    Hello, how are you? On September 13 I bought an iPad and in October bought a game on the app store problem is that when informed the card number dropped normally, but then went on to ask for a new form of payment because one had given any errors, and so not lowered any other game and not upgraded the already downloaded. I do not know what exactly I have to do, because if informed a new payment method continues with the same problem, checked the card bill and really had given an error, because there was no billed the game. I ask you to verify what happened and explain to me what I need to do, because my single card is Visa's and do not intend to return others to use the services of the App Store.
    Thank you for understanding.

    I think you need the app store support. http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/ Go there and use one of the methods to contact them about your issue and they should be able to help you out.
    This forum isn't checked by Apple employees but is for users to help each other out.

    I'm not currently having any issues. Try to connect again in a few minutes. If that fails
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • App Store goes blank whenever I try to write an app review. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a solution?

    I'm fairly sure I've encountered a bug in the App Store, which prevents me from writing reviews on any app. I've never been able to write a review in the app store during the 3-ish months that I've owned this iPhone 6 Plus.
    Repro steps:
    Open App Store (bug occurs on both the Sprint network or WiFi network)
    Go to Updates
    Select one of my apps
    Tap "Reviews"
    Tap "Write a Review"
    Log in using my AppleID
    Choose a star rating or don't choose a star rating. This bug occurs regardless of this step.
    Tap on any of the open fields (From, Title, Review)
    BUG: Entire Review page goes blank, except for the top bar.
    Anyone else having any problems like this?

    I get an error message that I cannot connect.  Instructs me to try again later.
    Try again later?

  • App Store showing blank pages in Yosemite

    After my update to Yosemite the AppStore behaves severely crippled.
    The main "Featured" , "Top Charts", "Updates" and "Purchases" page work normal,
    however the "Categories" page only shows the category titles, and worse: going into any detail page for an App gives me a completely blank page.
    I already tried to restarted to system, but no change.
    When starting AppStore from the iTerm the following error is included on startup (not sure if it's an expected message):

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    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.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • App store updates empty screen

    Hi,
    in the appstore  my updates screen ist empty, allthough new updates seem to be available (displayded via the liitle box with the numer of available updates).
    I did already:
    logged in and out my apple account/id
    restarted the device
    update the latest SW version (6.1.2) - after that
    Thx for advice

    I've switched between tabs in the app store. (the Featured and Top Charts show content and I can search for apps, so I know it's getting internet connection), killed the app from the task bar and restarted several times, shut down the device normally at least twice, forced a reboot with power/home at least once, still showing 2 updates, and the white (blank) updates screen.  I'm using an iPhone4S with 6.1.2  I only noticed the problem with 6.1.2, but it's possible the problem was there before.  Before upgrading to 6.1.2, I had upgraded to 6.1.1, and before that 6.1  I'm fairly quick to upgrade

  • ITunes 11.0.2.26 issue for Windows 8 Pro "app store is blank" in iTunes Store

    Hi,
    I recently updated my iTunes software to 11.0.2.26 in my Windows 8 Pro 32bit OS. Since then I was puzzled why I am not able to view/access my iTunes store in iTunes as app store is complete blank. Where as I was able to do all other things like syncing my iPhone4s with music & organise it through iTunes.
    But I am facing issue only with iTunes store which is a very critical bug to be considered by iTunes support as customer couldn't be able to purchase new apps through iTunes store.
    Note: I event can't be able to update the already installed apps through iTunes where as its showing more 32updates available all time but the update button is teasing me with out any action.
    Will be looking forward to fix this issue or release next ver. of iTunes ASAP.
    Regards,
    Feelme

    Thank god finally my iTunes store is visible now & came back to normal form after uninstalling the "speedbit video downloader" software from my winows 8 PC.  My puzzle solved finaly but still I want to raise my concern to iTunes developers "Why I need to uninstall third party apps to make my iTunes work properly?"  If this is the case all the iTunes users need to restrict themselves and need to spare a lots of their time to investigate before installing other Windows apps.
    @Caffineohoic: I can understand ur frustraion dude as I too gone through it till now. My crappy update might not solve ur problem but it worked for me as I followed the steps properly. Wish u good luck.

  • App store problem after updating OS to Mavericks.  Ended up deleting app store.  How do I get it back?

    I upgraded to Mavericks.  When I tried to update my apps in the appstore, I was getting prompted to enter in a password for someone else's Apple Id.  I have no idea who this person is and I could not change the ID.  I was logged into the App Store under MY id but for whatever reason when i chose to update an app, I was prompted with this person's ID. I researched this and someone in a forum suggested deleting the app and reinstalling it.  I have app zapper so I zapped the app and I no longer have an app store..  I also have no way of getting the app store back.  Apparently, it's part of Mavericks.  I cannot even reinstall Mavericks because Mavericks is only attainable through the App store.
    I have a big problem don't I?
    I recovered the files that app zapper "zapped" from my trash.  They are as follows:
    One "app store" folder that contains a file called: updatejournal.plist
    One "AppStore" folder that contains a file called: manifest.plist
    And a file called com.apple.appstore.plist
    How can I get app store working again?
    And then there's the issue with this person's apple ID.  How do I get the app store to purge this person's login?  My machine is an Apple Refurbished so perhaps the person who is attached to the store is the person who bought the machine new?  I have no clue.  I do think it's a huge security flaw on Apple's part to expose a stranger's login information
    Help is immensely appreciated.
    Thanks.

    There are a few things you need to do.
    A.
    Remove "App Zapper" according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again.
    B.
    Deleting system components is never the solution to any problem.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
    C.
    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.
