Broken icons/links in App Store

I can't get the App Store to load properly.  I've checked for Software Updates, rebooted, etc.  It comes up with all the graphics not loading.  See attached screenshot.  Any ideas?

Do you have a Firewall or antivirus software that may be interferring?

  • I am trying to buy an app (Aperture). I don't see a "buy" icon in the app store. If I go to Apple site, there is a buy icon but when I click it, I get a dialogue box saying the link needs to be opened with an application. Please help. Thanks.

    Hi ...
    Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) will reinstall the App Store for you.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed then try purchasing Aperture.

  • Can't download Lion. When I click on the Lion icon in the App store, nothing happens?

    Can't download Lion. When I click on the Lion icon in the App store, nothing happens?

    I hate the fact that I found this topic on Google, but after I had to log in to post this reply it took me somewhere else!  Again, a site designed by people who must never use their own software.  Any site that makes you log in to use a feature should not cast you adrift one you've logged in for the express purpose of using that very feature.  It makes me angry before I even start!  I am only here now because I have been run through the hoops trying to buy Lion and install it.  When I launched the app store, it had a lion's face I had to click on to download.  But there was no link to Buy or Download.  Eventually after many relaunches I accidentally discovered that if i clicked on £20 it changed into a green Buy - but only if you click directly on it, it you click on the down arrow it invites you to copy a link or to share it with somebody..  Then it made me log in again (what instant amnesia this site has) and I had to re-enter all my credit card info because it would not access an Australian American Express card even though it has a UK billing address.  So I went back again, and still got the Lion.  I clicked Buy several times but nothing happened.  Then out of the blue it changed to Install.  I clicked that many many many many many many times. Nothing happened whatsoever.  I am going to have to give up for now and try and get through to Apple tomorrow as they shut up shop and there is no sales or tech support.  God knows how many times they have charged my credit card for all the times I clicked Buy and nothing appeared to happen, or maybe it did happen and just doesn't tell you.
    So far tonight I've done nothing but start and restart AppStore, log in over and over, click the price>Buy and try to click install. and for all this effort so far I have got a big fat zero.
    I would have thought by now that Apple would have had some experiene in designing and delivering software over the internet, but my experience tells me that they are complete beginners whe it comes to user-friendly ecommerce.  This is some of the laziest web work I've had the misfortune to be annoyed by.
    Here's what I think should happen:
    Log in once and once only
    Click the product you want
    Click Buy (a separate button from the price tag)
    Once sale approved, click Download
    Progress bar appears

  • IPhone 6 Pixelated images on instagram, pinterest and the icons on the app store

    Hi alex_h1!!!
    i'm posting some of the images that are pixelated, I haven't  noticed but that includes safari too... Here are some screenshots! I thought maybe it was the internet speed but the same thing happens even on wi-fi .

     Take it somewhere that has better broadband. The best you can do sometimes is invest in new modem that works with your system instead of the rental etc in most cases.
    Do a Safe Boot.
    Make sure your firewall is set properly. Don't use 3rd party. AV software can get in the way.
    Make sure you are getting the service and a clean strong modem signal - slow is one thing but if it drops off and can't maintain a connection you have hardware issues, not software - and upgrade to a new OS doesn't tend to improve, it may even not work with older networking equipment once you do get it.
     I agree and think electronic only goes too far. And when you do get it: burn the package and manually set it aside first before running the intaller! make a flash memory installer, put it on DVDs too.

  • I have lost my camera icon and my app store icon.  I have tried to reset and even tried to restore factory settings...no luck.  Restrictions have been turned on, but I do not have the passcode.  Any suggestions??

    I have gone through the router reset for home network, Router reset at work. Restarted my personal hotspot on my iPhone that is running the same IOS.
    I have performed the Network settings reset on the iPad.
    I have performed a hard reboot on the iPad, (Home button and power button until logo appears)
    Also I had to update the Apple driver on my laptop for iTunes to see my iPad after I had updated iTunes, I'm not sure if I lost wifi after I updated the iPad IOS or updating iTunes.

  • Broken Link to App Store

    I go to the Apple Store via a browser. Select IPad. Select Apps for IPad. If I select a link (ie.."Learn more about the App Store on iPad") my browser goes into an endless loop of adding TABS to the browser. Only way out is to Cntrl-Alt-Delete and log off. Same in IE or Firefox. I recall it asking what I wanted to do when selecting a link, and I guess I put something in that broke the link.
    Where can I reset this link to a good one?

    Thanks but... the app just opens to the introduction page everytime...  even when I tap app store, then download one of the compatible / suggested apps, opened the apps then closed the apps then opened the apps again...  etc...  nothing...  not just my phone... (4S)
    It's ultimately confusing, and not easy to understand what to do to make it work.  So...  in my eyes, it's not ready for prime time...  I'm not trying to be a jerk, it's just not like Apple to make something so half-arsed...
    When you start with a new update such as iOS 6, there is a walkthrough, as there is with many apps that require a bit of setup.  Passbook has nothing like that, and for me as an IT professional, I'm trying to make a very valid point that for my users and clients, it's a small fail, but a fail for now, none-the-less.

  • 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.

  • Some apps that have iOS7 icons in the app store, are downloading with their old iOS6 icon, in my case the first Infinity Blade.

    First of all, it wasn't letting me post in the App store section, so this is my best bet. Basically the title says it all I went to download Infinity blade which update its icon upon the release of ios7 to look like this
    But, Once downloaded it looked like this.
    I don't want to download the app again if it can be helped as my Internet connection is terrible. But I've seen this happen many time within the app store itself, showing the old app icons with the transparent glow overlayed

    You've been hitten by Apple's recent SNAFU. I fear you are SoL until their pending investigation fiasco is over with.

  • After updating my IPad I have lost the icon for the App Store how do I get it back?

    Can't find my App Store icon after new update?

    If you can't find it and it hasn't been restricted as suggested by stedman1, You can reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • AppleScript - Open store link within App Store.app

    I want to open a link to the US Mac App Store within App Store.app
    https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/switchToStoreFront?storeFront Id=143441
    I tried a tell block with App Store.app to open location, to open URL, with https and itms schemes and all these also from within a tell block with System Events, to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    I checked the JavaScript as you suggested and noticed the url scheme in use — actually, I forgot that
    Just change http/https with macappstore/macappstores, respectively.
    The following script opens the Xcode app page in the US Store.
    tell application "System Events" to open location
    "macappstores://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12"
    macappstore://showUpdatesPage checks for updates.
    However,
    macappstores://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/switchToStoreFront?sto reFrontId=143441
    doesn't switch to the US Store. I only see the spinning wheel in App Store app.
    I'll appreciate any hints to make it work.

  • IPhone: is the large icon in iTunes=App store icon?

    Does iTunes get the artwork for the large icon in the apps directory from the large 512x512 icon used by the appstore? Or is that from another source, since my Ad Hoc distributions don't display any special icons in iTunes.

    The dev guide says about the 512x512 icon:
    {quote}This will be used to feature your application on the App Storefront.{quote}
    I'm not sure what exactly "featured" means...
    There are at least 5 different images/icons possible for each app in iTunes:
    1) small icon just like on device home screen (in NEW or WHAT'S HOT section)
    2) slightly bigger icon (when browsing for apps)
    3) even larger icon (app's actual page in the store)
    4) medium "featured" image (between NEW and WHAT'S HOT sections)
    5) large "featured" image (3 at the very top of the app store home)
    So the "Icon.png" in your app bundle is definitely what shows on the device home screen. But is the 512x512 icon used for icons 1-3 in the store? Is it also used in any way for 4-5 or do you have to be "special" to even get featured in those ways?

  • Pourquoi est ce que l'icone de l'App Store affiche t elle des nombres de mises à jour erronés?

    Pourquoi est ce que l'icone App Store affiche des nombres de mises à jour a faire erronés?

    Il n'a pas un correctif dès à présent. iOS 7 provoqué le glitch. Si la traduction est éteint, désolé. Je ne parle pas français.

  • IOS 6: Why is the Updates icon in the App Store app jumping around?

    When I open the App Store app for the first time, the Updates icon is in the middle.  If I hit the Home button, then tap the App Store app again, the Updates icon moves to the far right.

    Ohmigosh, ohmigosh, everybody! I managed to fix it!
    Quiller, sir, you should try this.
    Although I have tried everything written in the post above for many times, I have never done "Reset All Settings" to fix the bug.
    General --> Reset --> Reset All Settings.
    Try it, it worked!
    Good luck!

  • An app icon dissappeared, but app store shows it was intalled.

    I installed Candy Crush Saga on my ipad 3 (iOS 6.1.2), the icon showed installing on desktop but dissappeared after installtion finished. The game is shown as installed in the "purchased items" in the App store, and I can open it from the app store. How can I let the icon to show on the desktop? I already restart my ipad many times. and i've reset my desktop layout with not luck.  I could uninstall and reinstall the app from the app store. Please help.

    How many homescreens do you have on your iPad ? There is a limit of 11, after which apps are only accessible via the spotlight search screen, or the app store. If you do have 11 screens then you could move your apps into folders so as to make more of them accessible via the screens - you can either create folders directly on the iPad, or via the screen mock-ups on the iPad's Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes
