Games category in app store is missing. Any suggestions?

I have the IPAD 2 and from the very first setup the Games category in app store is missing. Even if I try to execute a game from the web (safari) it automatically opens app store and gives me a message that it cannot be downloaded.
Apple support team r nice people but completely useless!! They couldn't support nor help troubleshoot my prOblem.
Any suggestions or thoughts on this weird one?
Thanks.

Thank you for taking the time.
I'm in Qatar in the middle East and computer iTunes also say so.
Other iPads in the country do not have this problem. In all cases I can change my location to either USA or Lebanon.
Is the location of the apple Id or is it hardware manufactured for a specific region?
What do u think?

  • Missing "Games" Category in App Store!

    Hello folks! For some reason when I click on "categories" in the app store on my iPad (3rd gen) I don't get the games category anymore. Has anyone run into this issue before? I'm using the Canadian store.

    I came here since I was having issues with genius in the app store and saw this thread. I'm on an iPad 2, I went and checked, games cat. was not where it's supposed to be. If my memory serves me, categories page is listed in alphabetical order. Right now it's not, cause I found the games category at the beginning! Please recheck, I'll be keeping an eye on this post.

    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.

    Hello, how are you? On September 13 I bought an iPad and in October bought a game on the app store problem is that when informed the card number dropped normally, but then went on to ask for a new form of payment because one had given any errors, and so not lowered any other game and not upgraded the already downloaded. I do not know what exactly I have to do, because if informed a new payment method continues with the same problem, checked the card bill and really had given an error, because there was no billed the game. I ask you to verify what happened and explain to me what I need to do, because my single card is Visa's and do not intend to return others to use the services of the App Store.
    Thank you for understanding.

    I think you need the app store support. http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/ Go there and use one of the methods to contact them about your issue and they should be able to help you out.
    This forum isn't checked by Apple employees but is for users to help each other out.

  • App Store is missing in Snow Leopard.

    I am running OS X 10.6.8 and the App Store is missing. I have tried multiple reinstalls but it does not help. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but can't do without the App Store. I have contacted support and they are of no help. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Then I would advise that it is time to backup your stuf and use the Snow Leopard install DVD and erase your Mac, install Snow Leopard and then use the update combo in the link above to bring it up-to-date with 10.6.8. Migrate your stuff from the backup. Then use the Mac App Store to buy either Mt Lion or Maveriscks which should be out by the and of the month and upgrade. If your Mac can run OS X Mt Lion 10.8.x, then it should be able to run OS X Maveriscks 10.9.

    Are you going to Categories? If so, (and I don't know why) they are no longer in alphabetical order. On my iPad screen, the game category is the first category in the list.

    Hi there , I'm downloading game from Mac App store ( The Witcher 2) and it's stuck on waiting almost at the end of the download pls help? I don't want to download it again is there any solution for this?

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
    Step 2
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.

  • App Store is missing from my MacBook Pro

    App Store is missing from my MacBook Pro. I've done all the necessary software updates but cannot find it in any folders, even when searching via spotlight.

    Does the Apple menu have a link to the MAS? What version of Mac OS X 10.6 are you running? Is this a new MBP? If so, did you use the new MBP's update for Mac OS X 10.6.7?
