App Store should be more fast!

Hello everyone i have general issue, about App Store, aplication servers are to slow or to many users enjoying it ! Apple should increase the server band, i get tired to install only 100Kb/sec its taking to long if you are downloading game or something ! Try to imagine 7GB data !.. Its not fair..

There is no iTunes Store for Aruba. For the US Virgin Islands you would list the US iTunes Store, I believe, though I'd suggest confirming that residents of the USVI can indeed use the US Store.
Regards.

My ipod touch 4g is missing alot of important apps like settings, music, itunes store, app store and many more and i was wondering if there is any way at all to fix this for free or less than 70 dollars

First try using Spotlight Search to find Settings. If that works go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Settings. If you can't get to Settings:
Try a reset:
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.
If that doesn't work do a restore from backup or to factory settings:

App Store should purge old reviews

I've noticed a lot of apps in the app store being dragged down in their 'star' scores by old reviews of previous versions. A few apps I downloaded in the early days were deservedly savaged by reviewers for bugs, crashes, missing features and poor performance. But some have released massively improved updates since then, that answer all the original problems, and sometimes more. So I think the poor star rating is now misleading, and may discourage people from trying or buying newly great apps.
Apple should either purge the old reviews when a new version is released, or always make sure that reviews for the most recent version appear first (which isn't always the case)

Why does Australian Mac App store STILL charge more than US?

Even with the revision on pricing by Apple yesterday, the Oz App store still makes Aussies pay more than apps bought from US App store for Americans. Aperture US=US$79.99, Aperture OZ=AUD$84.99. According to Bloomberg currency conversion today, Aussies should only be paying AUD $74.21. So in real terms why are we slugged an extra AUD$10 more, which would equate to US10.78? The more expensive the app the bigger the difference in cost to us. And why should there be ANY difference considering this is all digital & no packaging or postage involved? Apple, if you are going to change your pricing, please base it on actual exchange rates & make it REAL! You will then find Aussie uptake for apps much greater, same goes for other countries in a similar position.

Folks are directing their feedback on the MAS to Mac OS X Snow Leopard because it is currently a Snow Leopard related app, it comes with the OS's update.
Questioning Apple's decisions about its business and products is a violation of the Terms of Use for the ASC. You agreed not to do so when you opened your account. It may be a legitimate question on other people's forums, but not here.
It is ranting, because all manner of sharing experience about doing business in foreign nations goes ignored in the thread to which I linked, and any others around. BTW, the US prices do not yet have any taxes added to them. The taxes are added at checkout in the US MAS. That is not the case in the MAS for many other nations.

Is the App Store broken? More than usual, I mean.

I noticed last night that according to my iTunes, there had been no new applications or application updates in the iTunes App Store all day. It's still that way this morning - not even any changes to the various featured/recommended applications advertised on the App Store home page.
Also as of this morning, clicking "Check For Updates" on the Applications page in iTunes causes a brief flicker of progress bar but that's all - no pop-up to advise me that I either do or do not have updates available.
Now, given the way application updates wipe out data and cause the iPhone to go into permanent "broken-apple-logo" mode requiring a time consuming restore, this is not necessarily a bad thing. But I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing?

The "iTunes is temporarily unavailable" is nothing new, I've had this message many times in the past. It's probably because there's something happening at the other end. If you keep checking, you should eventually be able to get through to the store. As to the no updates, perhaps there just aren't any updates available. I've got a long list of apps already but I don't get updates for them every day.

Apple app store should have option to download older versions.

I have experienced these many times that newer application does not work and we have to wait for bug fix release and we do not have choice to come back on older version.
Benefits of this provision
1. User can download stable version if one found some critical bug.
2. Reduce Older iOS compatibility issues.
3. Reduce Older iPhone compatibility issues.
It hurts when we purchase apps and these do not work for any problem. Apple Inc. should co-ordinate to developers and make provisions for downword compatibility and choice to have any version of application.

App Store: Unconfirmed buy after clicking on URL ("silent buy")?

Hi Forum,
Last Friday I bought on my new iPad without my confirmation ("Click on Price or Purchase") 2 applications by simply clicking on a web link which opened the App Store on my new iPad! Yes, you read correct: I did NOT confirm the purchase by clicking on ANY button in the App Store! The App Store page (showing the corresponding App) simply claimed that the application was already Installed - doh! Checking the iPad "workspace" ("Home") afterwards indeed showed the app installed (completely downloaded while I was dazzled in the App Store - record time in downloading!).
Anyone else ever experienced such a thing, a purchase action without you confirming such an action? Mind you, I am not talking about the fact that when you buy one application (and identify using your Apple ID password) that your identity remains valid for another 15 minutes, and the next time you just have to click "Install" (without entering your password again). I am really talking about the fact that you click on some web site URL link which opens the App Store and executes the purchase for you!
Okay, here's the whole story:
First I started FaceTime on my iPad. I had to re-enter my Apple ID password (probably because I hadn't used the app for a long time? But I did use it in the past...), and I called a friend of mine (video chat).
Matter of fact I was now somehow "logged in" with my Apple ID (into FaceTime! At this point I never had identified myself in the App Store on my iPad on that day).
Next I went to a news site on "9 to 5 Mac" which promoted strongly reduced apps ("iOS & Mac App special deals for the 4th of July" - apparently I am not allowed to post this URL here, some Forum moderator already deleted a previous post of mine - but it totally doesn't matter, just assume ANY website which links to the corresponding iTunes pages!).
Interested in the game "Real Racing 2 HD" for iPad I clicked on the link next to "Real Racing 2 HD" (in Safari on iPad) which pointed to click.linksynergy.whatever, followed by lots of parameters (again, I am not allowed to post URLs here, even though they might be part of the problem! But again, the actual URL parameters could be insightful, but in the end the error would be on Apple's side anyway).
What happened next is that in Safari I got a redirect to some page and immediatelly after that the App Store on the iPad was opened (as expected) (in Safari the browser returned back to the "9to5mac" site).
Now what I did not expect was that in the App Store the button which usually shows the price (or the option to Install) was greyed out and it said "Installed"!
Huh, what?! But maybe I had once bought that game already (as a matter of fact I did on the Mac Desktop App Store a long time ago - so maybe a nice gift from Apple or the developers?)
So I clicked on another link to "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" - a game which for sure I never had bought on any device before!
Interestingly this time a message popped up in the App Store saying "Your request could not be satisfied" ("Ihre Anfrage konnte nicht abgeschlossen werden.") - we will come back to that later.
So I manually entered the title of the game ("Categories / Search")... and again it claimed that the game was already installed! And indeed, both games were on my workspace, fully installed - and working!
To make that very clear: I never clicked on any other button in the App Store, from the very beginning it said "Installed"! Nor did I ever (on that day) identify myself with my Apple ID in the App Store (but in FaceTime just before, in case that is related anyway...).
So I went back to my MacBook Pro, checked my email and indeed, about 30 minutes later I had a Purchase Confirmation email from Apple (luckily that 99 cents promotion was apparently still valid: I was charged CHF 1.00 per App). So yes, that implicit BUY action really cost me money.
Now to the even weirder part: remember the "Your request could not be satisfied" message from "Battlefield"? Curious what would happen when I clicked in my MacBook Pro desktop Firefox on above links, I was forwarded to the iTunes Apple website, but in the US Store (not surprisingly), and a popup message appeared telling me it wanted to open the iTunes app. After confirmation with OK iTunes launched and the following message appeared: "Your request could not be satisfied - the requested article is currently not available in the Swiss store. But it is available in the US store. Click on 'Change Store' to view the article."
Original message:
"Ihre Anfrage konnte nicht abgeschlossen werden.
Der von Ihnen angeforderte Artikel ist zur Zeit nicht im schweizerischen Store erhältlich. Er ist jedoch im amerikanischen Store erhältlich. Klicken Sie auf „Store ändern“, um den Artikel ansehen zu können."
(The same message appears with "Real Racer 2 HD" on my MacBook Pro. Both apps actually are in the Swiss App Store as well, also for the reduced price of CHF 1.00. However on my iPad I just remember getting the "Your request could not be satisfied" for "Battlefield").
So both links from the original website (9to5mac) pointed to the iTunes US store, on my iPad only in one case did I get a "Your request could not be completed" message, but in any case both apps were installed without me acknowledging the purchase (by clicking on "Install").
Maybe I did click on "Install" after all? Maybe one time that can happen - but not twice, especially if you pay close attention on whether you do so or not! Maybe I purchased those applications anytime before (with proper confirmation on my side)? But that must have happened between July 3rd (the day the 9to5 article appeared) and yesterday, July 6th. Because as I said, I am totally sure that I never bought Battlefield ever before! And the previous 2 days I was not at home anyway (and I did not have my iPad with me).
But to make really sure whether it is possible that these applications - 444 MB for Real Racer and 265 MB for Bad Company, total 709 MB, not exactly tiny downloads - were downloaded yesterday I checked my home router statistics (*), and indeed: on that Friday the download was 756 MB! That pretty much exactly matches with the iPhoto Stream downloads/synchronisation I did as well!
And mind you: usually when you click on "Install" you get pushed back onto the "Home" screen of the iPad and you see the icon appearing, together with the download progress bar. That definitively did not happen when the App Store was opened on my iPad, after clicking in Safari onto those two links! The apps were fully installed (and the icons next to each other, indicating that they were downloaded indeed after each one) when I checked (so yes, congratulations to the Apple App Store - download speed must have been amazingly fast!).
So here are a few more key facts:
* I bought the new iPad in the US (in case that matters)
* All involved software updated to the latest (non-beta) software: iOS 5.1.1 (Lion 10.7.4)
* Since last week I have a Voucher amount of 50 CHF for my iTunes/App Store account (for the first time ever) - so that voucher amount got charged. Maybe that is related to the problem?
* I have exactly ONE Apple ID for everything (iCloud, Desktop App Store, iOS App Store, FaceTime, ...) - I never had any other Apple ID
Oh and mentioning iCloud (which might be related). I am not sure whether it was before, during or after those two purchases, but I played around with iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and created a new iCloud Email acount (and also enabled "Mail & Notes" iCloud service in the System Settings during that action). So not sure whether this could have had an influence on that "implicit purchase action" as well...
So what did I do? I called Apple Support here in Switzerland, told them about this issue and they told me the "15 minutes and your identifictation remains valid" thing (which I already knew). My objection that even when I am authenticated in the App Store a click on a random website (leading to the iTunes website and opening the App Store) should never do a purchase without me confirming was acknowledged by the support, but I don't expect them to do a follow-up on that (they noted down the URL I gave them and that was it).
Anyway, I did not insist on reverting those purchases, as I would have bought them anyway - but it gives me a very shallow feeling that when clicking on some link it might actually produce a valid purchase action, even if you haven't actually authenticated in the App Store (but possibly with some other Apple service such as FaceTime)!
Anyone else experienced a similar situation?
Best regards, Oliver
(*) Even though we are talking about games here you may safely assume that I am pretty proficient with any OS/computer and even know the difference between "authentification" and "authorisation" when it comes to IT security

Hi,
unfortunatelly it seems that one isn't allowed to post 3rd party URLs (even though I am totally not connected with that site in question!) - I already had my previous post removed after just one hour.
But you'll find the page in question when you search for
"iOS Mac App special deals for the 4th of July" 9to5mac dot com
(replace the " dot " by a "." - use the quotes " in the query). It should be the first Google hit...
Again, I don't think this is the fault of those site (respective the site you get redirected to, which will finally point you to the iTunes website...). If at all then it was a security hole in iTunes Store itself which allowed the external site (probably even without purpose) to trigger a "silent buy"! It was also at the time when Apple apparently struggled in the App Store with certain App downloads being faulty, so it is well possible that this was just a "temporary glitch".
Mind you, the above links will redirect you to the US store, and since I am based in Switzerland (and my iTunes account is registered for the Swiss Store), I should not even have been able to manually trigger the purchase there in the US Store. For instance when I click on those same links in my desktop browser the iTunes Store application opens and i am told that "these offers (offered in USD) are not available in the Swiss store and I have to switch the Store from the Swiss -> US Store - but then off course I would not be able to purchase (which is correct), since I do not have an US iTunes account.
However the same offers are (were) available in the Swiss App Store as well for the equivalent reduced price in CHF - so even though I got an "unavailable" message on my iPad for the second application it was still downloaded - without further ado! The Apple receipt was then in the correct amount and currency (the same amount as in the Swiss Store). So again, even though I should not have been able to download these two apps iTunes somehow manages (behind my back!) to download the corresponding offer from the Swiss store, without me pushing any button (I am not even sure whether you can actually "change Stores" in the iPad version of the App Store, as in the desktop iTunes app...)

Can only see New apps in iPad app store

Seems kind of pointless to search for apps on the iPad app store, when it will only show you the "new" ones. When I choose any category, then click the show all button, I don't get all, just the "new" ones ... never more than about 97 or so. searching the same category in iTunes for just iPad apps will almost always yield far more choices. for example I can only see about 97 utilities for the iPad from my iPad app store, but in iTunes there are 260 choices. They aren't iPhone apps either. Another example, if I show the games category on the iPad I can only see 27 New and Noteworthy apps, and 24 What's hot apps. No more. In iTunes I have an additional option of a subcategory, for example Action, there are 200 games released for iPad since March 31st available in that one category.
Not sure if I have a preference set wrong, it's just a bug, or if someone just wasn't thinking. Mayabe it's a bandwidth thing, but at least give me the subcategories or let me see the "next" 50.

Yes. How else do you access the App Store? I'm not aware that you can do the same thing from the iPad's App Store app. Nevertheless, whatever you browse from the iPad if there's "+" in the price it means the app can be used both on an iPhone and iPad.
I guess you finally understood the question
Why should I be forced to use iTunes to see all of the apps? The iPad app store should see everything just like iTunes.. This isn't an iPhone.
At least the link is some what helpful although quite slow going back and forth to app store to get details.

How to select my country's app store on iPad when abroad?

I have an account in the Dutch app store, but am currently in Sinagpore. When I try to buy a Dutch newspaper using Newsstand on my iPad, I get the message: 'This article is not available from the Singapore store, please use the Dutch store'.
I do not have this problem on my MBP. Using that one, I can use the Dutch store without any problems.
Is there setting on my iPad that I can and should change to be able to make purchases directly from the Dutch store?
Many thanks advance for your help.

Adobe products for sale in Mac App store?

Will Adobe products (like Adobe Creative Suite) be available to purchase in the Mac App Store? How are purchases made? Can you use Itunes credit?

Chances are the appearance of non-appearance of any app in the App Store is for more complex reasons than app size. In fact you can be sure it is not about app size, because I went over to the Adobe Store to check and sure enough, they give you the option of buying the 11GB Master Collection via the download option, leaving it up to you to decide whether your connection is fast enough to finish the download before the Second Coming.
Although I have no tech knowledge about this, I think the real issue with the Mac App Store has to do with whether the app can yet be installed using the App Store mechanism. It makes you install and update apps in one specific way. Which may not fit all, at least not yet. One thing in common with many of the apps not yet available at the App Store is that they have complex installers, and not just Adobe.
Look at it this way: If it was that easy to put complex apps and suites in the App Store, Apple themselves would be selling their entire product line, from bottom to top, in the App Store. They are not. Apple is, in fact, not even close to having all of their own apps in the App Store at this time.
The answer for when Adobe's would show up is probably the same as for when Microsoft's show up and also Apple Final Cut Studio and the Logic line. It's gonna be whenever those unknown (to us) technical roadblocks are resolved. For now, those apps are missing in action, including Apple's. You can't even get Final Cut Express or iDVD in the App Store.

Apps not in my App Store country.

I believe that App Store should be universal for all countries around the world with exception for some apps that only works on the specific countries (for example, Amazon.com app, Pandora Radio app). But for games, I don't think that should be limited to just some countries. Here's my real problem.
In Thai App Store, Rockstar Games released the lite version of GTA: Chinatown
However, there is no full version of GTA: Chinatown whatsoever.
So why even bother bring in the lite version of the game when there is no full version available for sell?

Yes sir/mamm. I understand that the laws in US is quite awfully many and restrict. But here's the big pictures of the problem.

I just still wonder why give away lite version when there is no full version to buy? Is the full version more violent than the lite one? And just know that I play GTA series since like GTA 2 on Playstation 1.

App store suggestion to Apple

Hi, I would like to suggest that the app store should have an lastest updates category
which would really help the app developers whose apps aren't that popular, to get back into the
spotlight, and in turn, this would urge developers to bring out more updates which will make the app store more
'alive' and it would help recycle those hundreds, if not thousands, of apps that nobody
knows about,
I hope someone from apple sees this and tales this in,
trexla.

http://apple.com/feedback is the best way to get Apple to see something.

App Store should be more fast!
