Cant buy anything off the app store and lost all my apps after update

Hello, im having a problem with my iphone 4, i couldnt buy anything off the App store so i decided it would fix my problem. i was wrong there it only caused more problems after the update. i lost all my apps and i still have the same problem with my app store.
I can open the app store but whenever i try to touch the (Free) button nothing happens, also when ever i go to the category section it shows me a bunch of random apps and i cant go back to pick a different category. please help!

I bet you still have your apps on your computer. Sync the apps onto your phone from there. If they arent on your computer, download them on.

I have an iphone 5 and use verizon service. I just lost about 60% of my contacts. I am using verizon back-up assist to sync my contacts. I actually had to have my phone reset at the store and lost all my app etc. I want to avoid this in the future.

I have an iphone 5 and just suddenly lost about 60% of my contact list. They just disappeared from my contact list. I also could not add new contacts. Someone told me that it might be because I was using verizon back up assist. I had my phone reset at the store and am now using icloud. I lost all my apps and have had to manually re-enter my contacts. I would like to avoid this happening again. Is it my phone? Can anyone comment. Thank you!

Welcome.
Two words of advice, it is much easier to read lower case than capitals. Secondly, never quote your email address publicly like this to prevent it from being harvested. The same applies to your telephone.
As a first step, do a Reset - hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 15 seconds.
Next, u go into your account again and try changing the method of payment to None. If you get past this then download any free app. If successful, go back into your account and enter your credit card details again and see what happens.

My itouch is asking me for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let me buy anything from the iTunes store. I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.

My daughter's itouch (registered to my apple account) is asking for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let her buy anything from the iTunes store. I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers. How do I reset the security questions or get rid of them appearing altogether? I can purchase apps on my phone (same apple account) and it doesn't ask me for security questions.

I live in Australia and I am trying to buy an album by SNSD but it is not available on the Australian iTunes. All of their other albums are. Why is this and is there a way I can buy it off the American store?

I live in Australia and I am trying to buy an album by SNSD, a Kpop group. It is not available on the Australian iTunes. All of their other albums are.
Why is this and is there a way I can buy it off the American store? (The album is called The Boys)

Well how much does the album cost? Because I have an issue with this except I live in America and I wish to purchase something from the Australian store... perhaps I can gift you your album and you could gift me my album.

I have the same problem. Some of my purchased songs are missing also.

I bought a second hand ipad mini without a simm chip. Can I buy one at the Verizon store and get a pre-paid plan?

I bought a second hand ipad mini without a simm chip. Can I buy one at the Verizon store and get a pre-paid plan?

IPad mini unless branded for Verizon use will not be accepted for prepaid use. Apple will tell you that the mini is compatable with all carriers, you simply walk into the carrier of choice and ask for a nano Sim.
You pop it in, you turn on cellular if not already on and follow the screen prompts to get you up and running. Its quite easy.
I found my wife's mini only functions on Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T who I set up service with.
Verizon blocks the activation due to the emeid of the device. Apple says it is fully operable on Verizon but they don't let you activate unless its purchased from them or from Apple to use on their system.
Good Luck

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

TS1424 Hi. I just added $25 gift card into the redeem in the app store and purchased four different apps for $4.99 each. I was planning on purchasing one more app at $4.99, but showed that I do not have the $5.00 in my redeem. Instead I have only $4.80?!?

Is there taxes that's going on here?
I feel jipped!

There will indeed be taxes, assuming you are in an area where sales tax is normally charged.

I want to buy something from the itunes store and I don't have the answers to my security question?

i WOULD LIKE TO BUY SOMETHING FROM THE ITUNES STORE AND I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS TO MY SECURITY QUESTIONS?

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset, which can be done by clicking here and picking a method for your country, or if that's not an option, by filling out and submitting this form.

- You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost. See:
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
- You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup. However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music. You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

I had this same problem. Tried everything the internet said including a full restore. Which was terrible. Nothing worked until.....go to general...reset....reset all settings.
You had to go back in and reset anything you customized afterwards, however it does not allow the store to load. Thanks!

On your iPad and iPod touch tap Settings > Store
Make sure Music is switched On under Automatic Downloads.
Now restart your iPad and your iPod touch.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
You can re download iTunes purchases for free if necessary > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
