App store will not work on phone

Just had an issue on one of my iphone 4's. When selecting the app store icon on the phone it says itunes is not installed on this computer. Never seen this happen before but the only thing that seems to work is the updates tab which when you try to update it says cannot connect to the itunes store. The phone is connected via wifi so that is not the problem. Everything else works fine on the phone. Anyone have any ideas what to do? I just updated to 4.2 hoping that will fix the problem but no go.

to be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work..
first thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo
if that doesn't work I would restore from backup and if that doesn't work I would restore as new if all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

    It may be a connection issue. Try changing your DNS settings to Google’s open DNS by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi >, tap the blue arrow next to your current Wi-Fi network, and then tap the “DNS” field and enter the DNS servers; 8.8.8.8 (Google’s Public DNS, 8.8.4.4 also alternate).

  • Itunes and App Store will not work.

    I recently got my version 10.6.4 Macbook Pro repaired. When I got my Macbook Pro back, I needed to reinstall the applications using the disk which originally came with the purchase of my Macbook Pro.
    After doing this though, all of the applications worked, however iTunes and the App Store do not.
    The App store application had a question mark over the icon and when I clicked on it, nothing happened.
    iTunes has a signal over the icon and when I press on it to open a message pops us saying - "You have Mac OS X 10.6.4. The application requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later."
    Please can you help with these issues?
    Thank you.

    Click your apple >> software updates.  Keep doing updates until there are none left.  That should take you back to 10.6.8.
    If software updates isn't working, you can download and install this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399

    My apps store will not go online with verizon network, but on wifi it works. I am on an iphone 4, verizon.  I tried to do a complete, backup and restore on the phone 1 day before i noticed this problem,  The backup finished but the RESTORE would fail I had an error, could not access Apple server ( some server name I cant remember).
    I have plenty of space available on the iphone,
    8gb free,
    ios version- 6.1.3 ( 10B329)
    carrier - Verizon 14.0
    Modem Firmware - 3.0.04
    Can someone help.
    I tried doing my backup restore on the same computer as I once did a year ago. and THis time I cant do the restore on the iphone.
    computer osx is 10.5.8
    itunes version 10.
    I do not wish to go to ios 7 at this time.

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue continues, contact the carrier to troubleshoot the network connectivity issues.

  • Why app store is not working without card details

    My app store is not working without entering card details , I lost my olf apple id .
    i MADE a new one .

    What do you mean by 'not working' ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you mean that you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
    If not then you will either need to enter credit card details (you should be able to delete the card after entering it) or create a new account, and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it.
    How did you lose your old account ? If you can't remember its details then try the following :

    Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?

  • My App store is not working on my mini i pad?

    My app store will not download?  In my settings, the itunes & app store will not load?

    I had to do ALL of the above in sequence, but before rebooting, I turned WiFi OFF.
    When I rebooted, I turned WiFi ON. I made sure that Location Services was ON for the Apple Store ( the one with the shopping cart).
    Then I went into the App Store.
    I did that about 3 times then voilà! The App Store appeared again.
    To summarize:
    - Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead.
    - Try App Store. If it doesn't work, continue with below.
    - Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off
    - Close all apps in the Task Bar.
    - Turn WiFi OFF.
    - Reboot.
    - Turn WiFi ON.
    - Make sure Location Services is ON for the Apple Store.
    - Turn Date and Time to Set Automatically ON.
    - Try App Store.
    Repeat the above if necessary. Thanks Demo, Ocean20 and Diavonex.
    It worked!

  • MY APP STORE IS NOT WORKING.HOW TO ACTIVATE IT?

    MY APP STORE IS NOT WORKING.HOW TO ACTIVATE IT?

    Hi sahaabhijeet,
    The resource below explains how to use the App Store on your iPhone:
    App Store Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2001
    The App Store is a place where you can download new applications for your iPhone or iPod touch. You can browse the App Store on your computer with iTunes, or by tapping App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Do I need to sign up for a new account to shop the App Store?
    If you already have an iTunes Store account, you can shop the App Store. If you do not have an iTunes Store account, you can create one using iTunes. Verify that the country flag at the bottom of the iTunes Store home page displays your country, then choose Store > Create Account. Click here for a way to set up an iTunes App Store account without a credit card. You can also create an iTunes Store account directly from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch by following these instructions.
    Accepted payment types
    Shopping the App Store requires an iTunes Store account. When you create an iTunes Store account, you must provide a payment method for your purchase. The available payment methods vary by country, but typically you can use credit cards, gift cards, store credit, or PayPal. 
    In countries where the iTunes Store only sells applications, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices are listed in either US Dollars or Euros.
    What can I purchase from the App Store?
    At the App Store, you can browse and download applications for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Applications from the App Store can be downloaded to, but not used on, your computer. To use an application from the App Store, simply sync it to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The App Store is also available on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch1 and works over mobile phone networks and Wi-Fi, so you can download applications wirelessly and start using them instantly.
    To use applications or the App Store with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you must have iOS 2.0  or later installed on your iPhone or iPod touch, and iOS 3.2 or later on iPad.
    Some applications are not available in all countries. Application availability and pricing are subject to change.
    Cheers,
    Judy
