Apps store looks different suddenly

Just today when I signed onto the app store, looks completely different, text vs graphic based, everything in verrtical format, can't really select anything to order (button to buy is gone)
What gives?

I get this occasionally too. I don't think it's the iPad, but something messed up in the store code. I think that because even after rebooting and restarting the store, the glitches are exactly the same. Then minutes or hours later, everything is back to normal. I've also noticed that the navigation is frequently messed up after viewing an item, with the back button sometimes going back to the page where it's supposed to, but sometimes going back to the first page of items instead. There doesn't seem to be any logic to the problem, either.

Mac App store update different apple ID

So when i want to update an app from the mac app store it asks for my apple ID password, however the apple id email is an email i have never seen or used in my life, and i can not change it to my actual apple ID email that i used for all my apple products. in other words i do not know where this random email came from. anybody else with same issue? any tips are appreciated!

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, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
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.
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 initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've 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 items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

Is there a way to see if a app in the app store is different from it's website counterpart?

Some apps in the mac app store have had features removed by Apple's reques. I would much profer the convinience of the app store to a third party website but it is not worth it if it means a app has been dumbed down purely because Apple did not approve of a certain feature.
So is there any where that shows a list of apps that are different when comparing their website versions to the version in the mac app store?

try contacting the developer

My app store looks strange

Hey all,
A few days ago, I was justing checking my email and received a notification saying that updates needed my approval to install. (nothing out of the ordinary) However, once I opened the Mac App Store, it looked very strange. It took forever to load, which hasn't been an issue up till now, and everything is aligned to the far left side. The best way i can describe it is that it resembled a very basic website but I have no idea why its appearing on my screen this way. I know I didn't do the greatest job explaining my problem, but any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

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.

TS1424 My app store shows different apple Id. I changed the ID in general settings under app store. Still no changes. Can't update apps now

Apps store on my iPad shows different apple ID. I changed the ID under general settings for apps store, but it didn't help. Still see different ID when entering the store. Now I can't update apps and resetting iPad doesn't help. What to do?

Use the correct login/password that the app was purchased with.

I can't change iCloud payment method when App store uses different ID.

Apple is emailing me telling me to change my payment method for iCloud storage. This does not seem to be possible as it tell me to go to "iTunes and App Store" on phone or do it through iTunes but in both those cases I am using a different ID than the one I use for iCloud. How do I change it?

Never mind. Sorted it out by signing out of buying ID on App Store and signing in with iCloud ID.

Apple id appearing in app store is different from signed in apple id in settings

There were updates on my apps in the app store so I tried to update them all. Then there was a prompt saying that my apple id has been disabled and I need to change my password. So I did. After that I signed in the apple id in the settings to be able to use it for the update of my apps. When I tried to update, the prompt for the password appeared but with different apple id that I can't recognize. It was not mine and no one else uses my phone except myself. I tried to sign out my id, restart my phone but still, same id is showing up in my app store. Kindly help me with this problem. Thanks.

In the bottom right corner of this web page there is a "Contact Us" link. Contact Apple and inform them of this problem. Many users have created threads on this and many others posted that they also have this problem. There must be a problem with the App Store that is causing this. Another option is to wait a day or two until this gets sorted out then try to updates the apps then.

ITunes and app store in different language

So I got a refurbished phone from apple cause something went wrong with the last one. But now the new phone is in a different language when I go to the app store and iTunes. Any reason it's like this? In settings it's all in English. Att couldn't help so I might have to take it back to apple if I don't find a solution. Anyone have any ideas?

Try to download something. Enter your iTunes username and password, despite it being for another country. It should then correct itself.

App store and itunes suddenly wont even try to install anything?

I went to download a song and after using touch ID to input my password, the round downloading sign just changed back to "buy" with no error message or warning. I then tried the app store, this time it did not ask for my password, presumably because i had just used it, but the same occurred. I then restarted the phone, which is an iPhone 5S running IOS 7.1.2, to no avail. I then tried to install something on my ipad 2 which worked completely fine. Can anyone advise me on what to do? restoring the iPhone is really not an ideal option as my iCloud is full so i will lose a lot of things that are not backed up.

Reset the Device:
Hold the power button and the home button down until the device shuts off, then power it back on and see if the problem is resolved.
You said that you have done this already. Try again, but this time while the appstore is open and in the foreground.
I hope this helps.

Logging in to Mac App Store on different Mac to install Lion?

Hey there folks, I hope this question isn't too confusing. I also hope it's not against any forum policies. I have two MacBook Pros and one of them is currently used by my mother. I gave it to her as a gift and upon giving it to her, I signed her in to her own Apple ID for the Mac App Store so she can buy her own apps. My question is- Could I log in to the Mac App Store with my ID for the purpose of installing Lion on her Mac, but then log her back under her own account? And if I do this, will it screw up Lion? Thanks in advance for any help!

Short answer: Nope.
The user agreement allows you to install the software on as many devices as you like <provided> they are all using the sam Apple ID. If you were to login to your own account in order to redownload Lion onto your mother's computer, you'd have a problem logging her back into her own ID. She'd lose access to apps and her iTunes-purchased content.

Since my IOS 6 update, my app store is different, and I am unable to use the new passbook. It says Cannot connect to itunes store. Anyone else?

Some of the apps are unable to update as it says it needs the Canadian App store, but I am in Canada.

Trylogging out of your Apple ID and logging in again, it worked for me

Itunes and app store in different countries

I have moved to Canada from the UK, emptied my credit from UK and changed my iTunes to Canada (with correct billing address and local credit card). I have tried every trick to get AppStore to join me in Canada but it will not. Can anyone recommend anything except resetting everything because I don't want the latest IOS for fear of slowing my iphone right down!

Hi Greatcates,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with the location settings on your accounts. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. Generally, the location/country for all the Store services should change at the same time, as detailed in the following article:
Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account - Apple Support
If one or more of the Store services did not change their location/country, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
Can't change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store account - Apple Support
Sincerely,
- Brenden

TS2972 How do I share Apps, from the App Store, with different Mac's? Thanks folk, Jay

I pulled down an App to my Touch, and I want to share it with all my Mac's. The troubleshooting articles I've seen all seem to exclude Apps.
Any ideas? Thanks!

First, you need to understand homesharing here. Then check how to use it here.

The app store on my iPad looks like a broken web page?

Hi! First, let me apologise if this is in the wrong ocation. If it is, please move the thread. Thanks! (Sorry.)
Now only the problem...
I'm no newb to technology so I'll do what I can to explain this. It's an intermittent and unusual issue, basically, and what happens is that for most of the day the app store looks like a broken web page (like CSS and images aren't loading), and I can only access it normally every now and then. But here's where it gets weird.
The PC iTunes is fine (both web and application) and loads images, behaves normally, and so on. No issues there. All sites are accessible, and I have no trouble reaching Apple servers (I've run latency checks).
What I've also tried:
- Rebooting my router (multiple times).
- Closing all apps on the iPad (including the store) then trying the app store (as the only app open).
- Rebooting the iPad, then trying again.
- Signing out of the store, rebooting the iPad, and signing in before trying again.
- Doing the above step but with all apps closed first.
- Browsing on the iPad (via Maven and Safari), both are fine. No weird Internet issues.
What boggles the mind is that the PC iTunes and web version of the app store works. I mean, if I go to the web app store and look at the page for a game, I get images of the game. If I use my iPad, I get the border of the image with a [?] icon in it. (As I said, it looks like a broken web page where CSS and images just aren't loading.)
Sometimes, but more rarely, I'll have trouble connecting to the store.
And occasionally (but even more rarely) it behaves just fine.
If it wasn't for the intermittent nature of it I'd be convinced that I'd somehow corrupted the app store on the iPad somehow. But the more I think about it the more I wonder if this is my ISP somehow being ridiculous despite the web/PC application working. And currently I'm really at a loss. It's worse because when I want to sit down and browse the app store to buy some things, I can't. So this is stopping me from giving Apple money.
It might just be my ISP though. My ISP is Surfwise, if it helps. As I said, no other Internet issues at all.

Boo. I can't edit. Sorry...
I also want to note that my iPad is -not- rooted and is quite new. And also that it's a third generation iPad.
