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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Link to App Store opens iTunes

I find an App that I would like to purchase. The Safari page for the App opens that says Mac App Store Preview. There is a button on that page that says View in Mac App Store. When I press this button, it opens iTunes instead and says that can not be purchased in the US (or something like that). If I manually go to the App Store and search on the application, I can easily find it and purchase it. This has happened with multiple apps. How do I get the link in Safari to open the App Store instead of iTunes?

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.

Try this first - 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 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.

I cannot sign in or go to acount under quick links in app store.The only thing I can access is create a new account, and when I try to do this, it says that my apple ID is already being used.

Running the latest version and most current update of snow leopard. Have 250 GB on computer. Have Intel core I7 2.66 Ghz processor. My computer is about 2 yrs. old. So processor and memory are not an issue. I want to upgrade to Lion, but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store. I have backed up computer on external hard drive, and I have no music or pictures on my computer now. I have I-Life, Windows for Mac, I-tunes, Pandora, Plants vs. Zombies, and that is all for additional software on here. I have had problems with the app store since it was launched! Apple is suppose to be superior! At 2 plusk, I would expect it to be, but so far, it has been inferior! It is definately NOT user friendly. At least the computer end and software is not. It has been a pain dealing with the app store, trying to watch webcast on here, always having to download an extra plugin only to find that it isn't compatible! PLEASE MAC, for 2,000 dollars...REALLy?!

Leigh...
but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.
Plants vs. Zombies, and that is all for additional software on here
FYI: Some third party software can cause issues with the App Store > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
Apple is not responsible for incompatibility isssues with third party software.

I can't find Citrix Receiver on App store and when I down load from Citrix; the site links to App Store and I get "Your request could not be completed" - how does one load with no issues? I have an Imac Intel on Mac OS X 10.6

How do I load Citrix Receiver on my iMac? App Store search came up with zip. Tried from Citrix website, it tried to hook up with App Store snd I got this message: "your request could not be completed". Any ideas?

I see the same dialog and definitely can't locate the app on the App Store.
Try their support page > http://www.citrix.com/support

No Art Broken Links in Store

7.6.1 shows broken links on iTunes store and does not show artwork in any mode including visualizer. Oddly enough all the artwork show up just fine in Front Row. Tried reinstalling iTunes (no success). Tried running the combo 10.5.2 updater over 10.5.2 install but for the first time (with a combo updater) it says that I can't use it on this system!
Any suggestions?

App store not showing app I bought as "installed"

(I already posted this under "Snow Leopard" because the link to App Store from the main page was broken. Now I found it here)
I bought several apps from the App store before March 30. They all show up under the "Purchased" tab. Also, the "Buy" button in the main application page says "Installed". So far so good.
However, this is not the case with the application I bought yesterday (iPhoto). While it shows up under "Purchases", the "Buy" button say "14.99 buy" and if I click on it I get the message "Couldn't complete purchase because you already have it. Check Software Updates on your Mac for available updates".
That is, it behaves as if I hadn't bought it from the App Store and I will not get App Store updates. This is exactly what it tells me about pre App Store software such as Pages and Numbers.
Finally, I have the old iPhoto too (renamed iPhoto09). However I have both the App Store iMovie (11) and the CD one (iMovie 09) and that didn't cause this problem.
How do I fix this? More technical pointers to how App Store and classic Software Updates work and interact are welcome (maybe this can be fixed by editing some system files).
Thanks in advance

This is exactly what it tells me about pre App Store software such as Pages and Numbers.
Unfortunately that is not correct behavior either. If you have an Apple app that you acquired from another source, all the MAS should do is show you that app for sale, as it does any other app.
I would download the 10.6.7 uPdate Combo;
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
Remove the MAS with the free AppCleaner to get all of its auxillary files;
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/appcleaner.html
After removing the MAS, restart and install the Update Combo. Be sure to Repair Permissions with Disk Utility before and after the installation. While installing the Update Combo do not multitask, let the Mac install the Update Combo with nothing else happening.
The update will install a new MAS which hopefully behaves better.

Can't find European Apps in App Store

I am from the United States and moved to France six months ago. I have tried a number of times to download apps that I see here in France but I can't find them at all in the app store.
For example - I have two store loyalty cards. One for Carrefour and one for ELeclerc.
Both of these stores are major businesses in France. They offer the ability to track your loyalty cards account via an Iphone App. They even provide a QCR code on every receipt so you can easily find it.
I have scanned the code, done manual searches and everything else I can think of - but these apps just don't show up. When I do a scan or click a link the App Store opens but there is just a blank screen. No message or anything. When I do a manual search in the app store I don't get anything that looks like what I want.
Are there restrictions on what I have access to since I purchased my phone in the USA?
Thanks - hopefully I'm just doing or not doing something obvious. But since we will be here for at least another year I would like to figure this out. Love having my apps!

Hello there, carlafromswisher.
One thing that could be playing a roll in your issue might be the Country your App Store is set to. In this case, the apps may be available in the French store, and not the US store. The following Knowledge Base article offers up how to change the country of your Store:
