Cannot buy from app store and app store images missing

Hi Everyone,
I have a 1st gen iPod touch running iOS 3.1.3 which is the latest version I can install. Everything was fine until yesterday morning when out of the blue, I could no longer download anything from the app store. The buy / download button does not work. Also, many of the app store images are missing.
I have restored the iPod to a clean install but the problem remains.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Richard

In case you haven't run across it yet, there seem to be a bunch of threads in this forum with lots of people having the same issue. My original iPhone running iOS 3.1.3 is having the same problems you describe. (Plus, my old laptop died, so I can't download apps through a computer until I get a new one.) My personal opinion is that it's a problem on the server side of things. Not sure whether Apple has decided to quit supporting these earlier iOSes or if it's a problem they're trying to fix. Keeping my fingers crossed that Apple is planning to fix it, and it will be done soon.

HT1918 I have my iPad from a US store (Miami). Why I cannot buy from the US app store?

I have my iPad from a US store (Miami). Why I cannot buy from the US app store?

Are you in the US with a US based account and a US billing address ? If you aren't then you can't buy from the US store - you can only buy content from your own country's store. If you are in the US then do you get any messages when you try to purchase from the store ?

How do I remove my old iMac from my App Store and iTunes Store accounts?

Before I sold my friend my old iMac, I used the Migration Assistant to transfer all her files from her MacBook Pro to the iMac. I then deleted all my files. My old iMac and her MacBook Pro were both upgrated to Mavericks before the Migration.
Now, she is being prompted to download and install the updates for Numbers and Pages on what used to be my iMac, but the App Store displays my account identification and asks for my password.
(1) How can I delete my old iMac from my App Store and iTunes Store accounts?
(2) How can she access the App Store and iTunes Store using her own accounts?
Thanks in advance.

That isn't how to prepare a Mac to sell or give away. You should deauthorize your iTunes account on the Mac. Call Apple Care and have the Mac disassociated from your Apple ID. Then erase the Mac and install the latest version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac using the Install DVD or OS X Recovery, depending on what version shipped on the Mac. Until you do this, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps belong to you. She will need to buy the iWork apps for herself, using her own account. You cannot pass any apps that you bought on to her, that would be piracy.

I would suggest that you buy a visa or mastercard gift card and put a few dollars on it and use it to access the store. Just add money to it before you want to buy something from the store and it will act like a normal credit card for you.

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and Itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognixed by all these devices?

I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognized by all these devices? My apple id is constantly not working.

Hi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
Cheers,
GB

App store and itunes store are stuck in Japanese store. Says: Account not in Store. Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the Philippines store before purchasing.

My app store and itunes store are stuck in Japanese store. I already moved to the Philippines for about a year ago and my stores still won't change its location.
I already changed the region/country in my apple id. I tried to sign out and sign in back to my account. Tried it in app store, in itunes store, in settings app, in itunes in my laptop, in the apple website. It shows that my apple id is already set to Philippines, no matter where I sign in my account.
The problem is when I open my app store (or itunes store) in my iphone, it appears that it is in the Philippines store; however, when I sign in my account (and I tried to sign in everywhere), I cannot download any app from the Philippine store. When I try to download an app, it always says "Account not in this store. Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the Philippines store before purchasing." I have read everywhere and most of the answers say that it should automatically direct me to the correct store. It doesn't happen to me, apparently.
I have the same problem in both my iPhones. Both are iPhone 3GS and in version 5.1.1. I don't want to upgrade to iOS6 so please don't tell me to do so. Thanks!

try logging out of of store and then log in again

How are the Apps Store and iTunes store different? Which do you use for what?

Can you explain the difference between Apps Store and iTunes store? Is Apps a subset of iTunes store? To which store do you go for what?

Apps you buy from the Mac App store can be used on your computer. You use the same Apple ID as the iTunes Store, but that's the only connection.
Apps you buy from the iTunes App Store are written to run on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch). They won't run on your computer, only on your iDevice.

Hi,

Thanks for your help, but my IPhone has been set to english from the very beginning to English. Never has changed. Everything is displayed in English accept the content of the two programs.
Might it be an account issue?

TS1398 my ipad is connected to my wi-fi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet nev    er works and it is always loading. i dont understand as it is a brand new ipad.

my ipad is connected to my wifi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet never works and it is always loading but never working. I dont understand why as my computer works for my wifi and my brand new ipad should too.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Store and apps doesnt start in windows 8.1

I have installed directly windows 8.1(not upgraded from windows 8), at first my store and apps were working. but after half hour of use none of the apps are starting. a message is coming after starting any of the apps
"The app didn't start in required time"
I have tried everything I can, also reset the pc but still nothing is happening.
not even the loading circle is showing up in the store or any off the apps.
Please help!!!

Hi,
As you said,you have reset your PC, right?
Then, did you reinstall the app?
I think it isn't related to your system. It may be caused by network.
Please try the following group policy to configure Metro App proxy.
1. Open "Local Group Policy Editor": press Win+R, type gpedit.msc, and press enter.
2. Navigate to "Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> Network Isolation"
3. Open "Internet Proxy Servers for Apps" and set the value to your proxy server address like 172.16.0.1:8080.
If it doesn't work, check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.
Also, please change a network environment to test it.

I can't connect my iphone 6 plus to Itunes store and app store, what will I need to do?

In my case, i just go to Settings->Itunes & App Store and Sign Out and Sign In again. Then enable all Automatic Downloads (Music, Apps, Books, Updates).
PS: Enable all automatic downloads may not be necessary.
Good luck.
