App Store Stuck at Loading

After a long wait, the App Store finally says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". Everything else is fine but the App Store doesn't work now.

Apple servers appear to be suffering total outages. Their DNS was offline for the past half hour, so it's not just me. I'll try back tomorrow.

App store stuck on loading screen...

I'm trying to browse apps in the app store with my 4S, but all I can get is "loading".... Ive tried resetting and closing the app, but still it just won't load. I've tried cellular network and my wifi, both with great signals. Any idea?

I have an iphone4 and tried this I don't know if this would work for you but I tried it for Me and it worked
For jailbroken iPhones:
If you have a jailbroken iPhone, go to Cydia and search and install Mobile Substrate
Then after it is installed go out of Cydia and swipe the top bar (the one that has battery, time and date)
Left to right. A menu will appear with icons, find the power icon in the menu and press it,
then press Safemode. Your iPhone will reboot in safemode. After it rebooted in safemode
Open AppStore and search for the app you want then install it (you have to wait for it to install). after installing it, exit AppStore And swipe the top bar again, another menu will appear press restart and then in the menu and then
Wait for it to restart. After it's done, open your app and play.

App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
Location : UK
Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
However this did not happen.
Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
Nothing I try will download the app in question.
The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
(Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
Thanks in advance for any support.

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

IPad apps stay stuck on "loading" upon installing

When ever I purchase a new app from the apple store it won't install but says it's downloaded the icon is usually blackened and says loading under icon or nothing at all.
     - I have tried restore from back up
     - I have tried resetting the device
     - I have the latest iOS Installed
     - I've tried setting up as new iPad and tried loading apps .
All with no success. Apps still stuck in loading and/or blackened. Please advise if this could bee a hardware issue? Everything. Apps tend to crash on my device including all apps, some don't start at all.
Please see images for reference of issue.

Try this - 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 is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

My app is stuck at loading

My app is stuck on loading. New Ipad. What to do?

Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

My iPhone 4S will not connect to the internet properly. It says that it is connected, the App Store won't load apps and I can't get on my face book app. I have tried wifi and my cellular data, neither work. What are some ways to fix this?

How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now

Thanks....

Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords. Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up. That will give you the ID no. and password.

Have you rebooted your home router?

I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.

I know my icloud has record of my installing this app before, but that was the first install that was failed during that time some other apps also keeps loading without respond whey they updated itself, and this app didn't install before I restart the device. But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
I have no problem install this app on my other device (iPad) with the same account, but just fail on my iPhone. And it just fine installing other apps...... What happened !!?? @@
Please help !!!

Someone help! I dont know how to do this and please put the words into an easy way to understand because im young...

TS1702 My app store does not load the featured apps, also in charts. Everytime i open the app store, the screen remains blank. Im using ipad3, ios6.

My app store does not load the featured apps. The screen remains empty everytime I open it.

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.

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.

The App Store won't load on iPhone 4 (v.4.3.3),

The App Store won't load on iPhone 4 (v.4.3.3), it actually opens and shows as if it's trying to load the applications but no result, it's not the internet problem, because Safari opens normal. Any solutions? Is there a way to update only App Store?
Many thanks in advance

Well i actually did restart the phone, and the App Store worked for some time, then suddenly stopped, and recently there seems to be a new problem, it doesn't connect properly to the wi-fi, though the laptop has perfect conncetion, i guess there is something wrong with the connection on the iPhone itself after all.

App Store won't load from dock

Hi,
I am 10.6.8 with all updates current and wish to download Lion. The Icon for App Store won't load the app store and I've gone to iTunes trying to find the download site, no luck.
I'm in the U.S. Virgin Islands and was searching to see if I'm red-lined due to location?
Anyone have comments?
Thanks

I, too, have all updates and want to download Lion.
Same as above with the App Store.
Tried the iTunes route and still no luck.
Looked at various forums, removed a few items from Library based on Apple Discussion recommendations.
Still no luck.
Working on iMac Intel Core 2 Duo
Maybe it isn't a good time to upgrade, and I should wait until the next version. The bug reports should be resolved sometime soon.
This experience is moving me away from upgrading and it is annoying me because this has been a waste of no small amout of my time.

App Store won't load, get white square

My App Store won't load at all. When I click on it, a white square pops up but nothing further happens. This happened a day after I loaded some games on my old ipad which I am giving to my grandson. Have I done something to cUse this? How can I fix it?

Mine too... the problem started last night, I made my friends check with their phones and same problem. We have tried different ways to fix it but nothing. If it continuous for another day or so I think I will go to Softbank or the Apple Store for help.
