App Store security badly broken w ios 6.0.1

Updated Ipad 2 to ios 6.0.1
Now the app store application cannot download and install apps over the air. Repeatedly requests new security questions. After answering questions and clicking done results in session timeout; cannot connect to Apples server. Doesn't matter who's dns I've configured. Trying to disregard security questions, the app store simply times-out.
Called apple support and tried their default solution, resetting. pffft, no dice. This is a problem with Apples release of 6.0.1. Discussions indicate this to be a fairly widespread problem.
Apple: your lame non-attempt to inform users, including your own support, are really really weak.

Is this what you are after...

Why Mac App Store cannot resume broken transfer?

Why Mac App Store cannot resume broken transfer?
Everyday I start download of xcode, at the end of day it archived several hundred MBs, but the next day the download start from 0 again, it took me two weeks and I'm still trapped in this!

Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
Click the lock icon bottom left corner of the pane. You may be prompted for your admin password.
Select: Mac App Store and identified developers
Click the lock icon to prevent further changes.
Relaunch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar (top of your screen) click Store > Check for Unfinished Downnloads or follow the insstructions here > Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
If you still have problems ...
- Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed
- Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading
- Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store.

I can't Sign in to the iTunes and App Store since I update to iOS 7

I can't Sign in to the iTunes and App Store since i update to iOS 7 with my iphone 4s. I try in settings iTunes & App Store with my Apple ID and Password and still can't Sing In

Same issue. Since last update (a few days ago), acces to itunes account failed very often.
- Music iTunes Match doesn't work anymore because it cannot log.
- Renting video often failed because it cannot "verify authorization".
I tried already several restart, reinitialize, restore... all without improvement.
PS: of course my apple account is working fine with other devices. This issue concerns only Apple TV.

App store selling bad apps with no retrieve on passwords

If you are thinking of purchasing an app from apple you will have to plenty of homework before purchasing a simple 5.99 app that Apple has not even reviewed for flaws yet is selling it at their app store.Too bad we cannot have faith in Apple to review the apps it sells before selling to the public. Time to go back to Dell and India techs.

It would be helpful if you could spell out exactly which apps you have an issue with.
Your description of untested (how do you know) and flawed (how) does not sound like Apple to me. Are you sure you don't have pirated versions?

I cannot conect to APP Store. I upgraded to IOS 8.3 and APP Store has not worked since. I am being asked to tipe my user name /password and nothing happens afterwards. No error messages either.

The app store no longer works since iOS 5.1 update?

Ever since I did the most recent iOS Update for my iPod Touch 4G (purchased Dec 2010), the app store no longer works. I know for a fact it is NOT a billing problem with missmatched security code on my credit card. I had that before and resolved it.
This time, it seems that when I download an update to an app or a new app, it starts to download and then says "Waiting..." but in eternity. The download doesn't commence. I already tried resetting the network, powering off and on, deleting the apps and readding them as new and using different WiFi networks (FOUR) to make sure that wasn't the issue. Nothing seems to fix this.
Any suggestions?

Just put you finger on the camera and drag it up and Lock screen will shift up.

Mac App Store Security

Hi,
I have recently been downloading and installing, apps from small developers from the Mac app store. So far the apps have worked great, no crashes or problems. But, I recently have been wondering the safety of these apps. I know people say Mac's don't have viruses, but with the increasing popularity of Macs, it has been a more targeted platform than before. In the iOS app store, I know that apps are checked for virus or any kind of malicious software. However, I cannot find any mention of that for the Mac app store. Does anyone know or can link me to page where it states that.

This knowledge base article has brief mention of the safety of apps. Apple tries to be diligent about checking apps for "bad behavior" before posting them.

App Store update buttons broken

iOS 7.0.2 iPhone 5S
Go to App Store > Updates tab. Tapping "update" opens the app instead of triggering an update. Seems I have to manually search for the App and update it from the search results page. Tried logging out / logging in again. Looks like a bug.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.2
hellooooooooo
i don't know what's a more frustrating bug: that update is broken or Apple's support forums are broken
If you want help you need to ask a question, not just tell people you think you found a bug.

App Store - blank screen (iphone 5S, ios 8)

I get blank screens for all tabs in the App Store except for the Updates Tab. I've seen some similar discussions around this in the forum, but nothing specific and recent to what I'm experiencing. My phone is a "work" phone and is configured with my company's specific settings, so I'm not sure if this a possible cause or not (with respect to security, firewalls, etc.). I can't imagine it would be since I'm using my Apple account, but stranger things have happened. Also, I just recently (last week) received this phone and the App Store was working just fine up until a couple days ago. As far as I can tell, nothing changed between then and now.
Iphone 5S
IOS 8.1.3
Anyways, looking to see if there's anyone out there who has seen this and knows of a solution. Thanks,

My iPhone 5c with iOS 8.1.3 is also demonstrating this problem, as at Feb 7, 2015
However, prior to this, noticed that Updates to installed Apps needed 2 or 3 attempts, so I knew something was up...
So, surfed the web and found some "solutions", but they did not fix the problem;
1. Turn off iAds - no good
2. Advance date 1 year, hard-reset & try again - no good
Went to an Apple store, they checked a few things, all OK so we tried a Reset > Network Settings - no good
My phone also is "provisioned" by my company, where they suggested the profile could be the problem (but I couldn't see how).
So, made a Genius Bar appointment for Feb 26, I'll update here with the outcome...
One thing, though, the problem seemed to occur after I connected my phone to my work PC and removed some Apps from my library. iTunes on the MS-Windows PC hung/behaved strangely as well... Not sure if it is related.

I cant download any apps from app store after i update to ios 7

After i update my iphone 4 to ios 7, now i cant download anything from app store, when i tap free or buy button on the app in app store, i have a 4gb free space, it doesnt show any error message, just a grey icon in my screen telling "waiting" then it automatically closed the waiting app

I have also experienced this problem with the new IOS7. I had to totally close the application and re-open it and try again. Then it worked.

Can i use iCloud with one apple id but app store with another; especially on iOS 6?

My household has multiple devices. I own iPhone and iPod, both on iOS 5.1.1, and iCloud (used for apps, iMessage, and backup.)
I almost never buy music, but I buy some apps.
My SO has iPhone (also on 5.1.1), and she uses my apple id for purchases (mostly kid apps.) She does not (yet) use iCloud (paranoid about it
She uses iMessage (with her own apple id.)
Anyway, I suppose at some point she would switch to iCloud too. It is also likely that we would move to iOS 6 once it is released (me first, likely.)
I know that Apple does not allow transferring app ownership from one account to another, as well as splitting or merging accounts.
Question: would she be able to use her own ID for iCloud (photo stream, backups) but my ID for app purchases? (I like it, let me control app expenses.)
If any of you are using IOS 6 preview, can you try this scenario (different IDs for app store, backups, and iMessage.)
Unsure if iOS 6 feature set is already public - if not, let me know 5.1.1 situation. Thanks!

thank you, @randers4!
(sorry for using twitter notation - hope you would not mind.)
for other commenters (especially Tawnii) - I view Apple ID (which was before essentially Store ID) as a purse with money. Money is shared in our family; I don't like "get your own milk license, and mark your bottles" approach.
Currently my spouse uses her own ID for iMessage (and she does not use icloud for mail, calendar, reminders, etc - pretty much iMessage and iOS Store are only apps she uses), but we use same set of apps (mostly kid apps) on all of our devices (including iPad, which is used by our little daughter). It does feel a little weird when purchases on one device appear on another (but this is an option which can be turned off.) We almost never buy music or books from iTunes store.
iCloud backup for my devices uses my ID (which is same ID we use for Store.) My spouse does not use iCloud backup. I suppose Mountain Lion can give her incentive to use shared Photo stream, and perhaps bookmarks.
Just so you guys know, we live in a country which did not have App store permitted until recently, so it was not possible for my SO to obtain her own ID for purhasing apps, even if she wanted (my ID is U.S.-based, where I used to live before.)
I feel that Apple model works fine for individuals but does not work well for family environments - for example, I want to listen to music from both of our computers on our Apple TV, but it is not easy: I can share iTunes collection or iTunes Match music set to Apple TV, but only from one account.
And I also suppose our two-year old would not be able to use her own account, even though she is iOS user for about a year already (iPads work great for kids, we tried 50+ different apps and have our own set.)
Again, thank everybody for quick responces, this is my first time using Apple forums and I am very happy

Is there a way to look at apps in the app store that only work with ios 5.1?

I am trying to see the apps thaartwork with ios 5.1, instead of having toupon the apps first only to then see if they will work with my tablet. Thanks

How to get App Store past bad billing info

So I have not been able to update my app's because the App Store thinks I made some bad purchase or something. Well I do t currently have a debit card so how do I get my phone to understand it just needs to give up on wanting billing info for the moment? Or is this just one of those things that Apple does not budge on?

Cannot connect to itunes or app store after updating 5s to iOS 8.1.1 - have already gone through troubleshooting.

Hi there,
I'm super late in updating the iOS on my phone because I heard people were having so many problems with this one. I updated today and low and behold - issue. In order to make room for this update I reset my phone and erased all content - then preformed the update to iOS 8.1.1. This is done and I logged back in and started to set it up again.
However, now I can't connect to either itunes or the app store. I've already been on apple.com and gone through the troubleshooting section there. Meaning:
- My date and time are correct.
I've turned off automatic setting, made sure it was correct and turned it back on as a second step.
- Obviously it's updated to the current 8.1.1
- I'm unable to connect either on LTE or when connected to Wifi however, my computer connects to wifi and can get to itunes.
Even though I am connect to wifi - data is turned on for both itunes and app store.
- Restrictions are off
I have fully closed the apps and restarted my phone after taking the above steps but still no luck. I don't get a specific error number only "Cannot Connect to itunes".
Any ideas with this one?

I had the exact same issue. try log out of the App Store in Settings. Then make sure to close all apps running, and log in again. worked for me. Good luck!

Easy-to-read link to App Store does not work for iOS 6?

I have followed https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa1633/_index.html to create a link that looks like
http://itunes.com/apps/<applicationname>
This link work for iOS 5 devices, but not on iOS 6!

Make sure your Mac qualifies for Mountain Lion > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
If your Mac qualifies and you are running v10.6.8 (according to your profile), installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo reinstalls the App Store for you which may help.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed then try downloading Mountain Lion. It's ok to do this even with v10.6.8 already installed.
Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.
