How do you get the app store to work again?

My older child disabled the app store for his younger brother using som pass code...that he does not remember. This ipad is connected through my itunes account. What can I do to make it so that he can purchase apps again if I don't know the passcode?
Thanks!

If he can't remember the Settings > General > Restrictions passcode then was it on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

How do you get the app store back on your iPad

My money is on one of the two suggestions that my colleague has given you, but if all else fails......
You can also 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.

How can I get the App store to work?

I cannot get my App store to work on OS 10.7.4 I don't know how I am going to upgrade with the new system. I thought the new up grade would help fix the problem, but now I don't know who to get the upgrade because my app store won't load. I am getting the screen that says
One Moment Please.
Connenction to the iTunes Store.
Loading...
If I tunes doesn't open, click the iTunew application icon in you Dock or Windows Task Bar. To download iTunes, Please click here.
I have tried sign off and back on. My iTunes works just fine. Only the App store doesn't work. I have tried the terminal message thing. I have tried to find my file. I bought Lion from the app store. PLEASE help I am so frustrated. I want to cry. When I as for help they send me to the boards to the support thing, but nothing on those pages have helped me. I know there are other post, but I don't know how to just dump eveything reload and then back up from my time capsule. How do I do that? I will that we could just reboot the App store.
Thanks

Incase one is wondering... I found the answers in this entry
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18810192#18810192
I tired the
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/*
at first because the person was working out of lion but it kept saying not found, but I did everything else here next. I added the debug thing and didn't work but I didn't. Then I deauthorized my computer iTunes and reauthorized then signed in and out. Did not work. I then ran the permission part of Utilities and then ran the repair. after this I copied all three lines together pasted them into Terminal. After that it worked. I am so happy right now. I think I had to repair the disc to get it right. I wrote everything I did incase it was a combination of every thing.
This is how to enable the debug menu that is part of the thread.
Quit the Mac App Store
Launch the Terminal (located at /Applications/Utilities/)
Type the following command into the Terminal and then hit return:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
Relaunch the Mac App Store, the Debug menu is next to “Help” in the menubar
So now to the interesting part: what me helped was to select "clear cookies" in the debug menu first, and second to select "reset Application"
This was all found in that thread, but it is 11 pages.... this might be more helpful. There are other suggestions in the tread if this doesn't work for you.

How do I get my app store to work again?

Alright, I've been having this problem on and off for awhile now. But occasionally when I click on my applications folder in my dash, my app store won't be working, which after I see that, the one on my desk top will stop working as well. And when I try to boot them up they tell me "You can't open App Store because it may be damaged or incomplete".
I can fix this problem usually by moving around a working form of the store, but today I miss placed a working version and now I'm scrambling to fix it and I don't know how. How can I fix my app store and get it working again?

If you have any extra copies (other than backups) of the App Store application, delete them. Use only the one in the Applications folder. If it still doesn't work, see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

As you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard.

If you can't find it on any of your home screens or via the spotlight search screen then check to see if it's hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being set 'off'

If a reset didn;t work, then you can try restoring your iPad. Don't restore from a back up because if there is a glitch with restrictions, it will just set that option up again. Of if you are sure you have a backup created before you changed restrictions settings, then you can back up from that.

Already bought iWork. How do I get the App Store to recognize App purchases that I've made over the past few years?

I know I'm not the only person experiencing this issue, but I can't find who else has a solution. Essentially, I've been buying Mac Apps over the past few years and using them frequently. Now the App Store exists. Awesome. But how do I get the App Store to understand that I have all those past purchases and serial numbers? I'd love to download the Apps through the App Store because it's a better system of downloading and updating apps, but that convenience isn't worth the extra $300-400 I'd spend re-downloading all those apps.
Does anyone have any advice or experience with a work around to this?
Thanks in advance.

As Carolyn has told you, you cannot opt Apple apps that you have acquired from some other distribution stream into the MAS stream. Period. It does not work that way. It will not be working that way. And many folks have come here wanting it to work that way over the last seven months or so that the MAS has existed.
If your End User License Agreement does not allow you to install the apps that you have on your new Mac, then the only way to get it today for the new Mac is to buy it from the MAS. The MAS apps use a different type of DRM and there are no serial numbers involved, they are tied to your Apple ID. If you are not ready at this time to purchase apps from the MAS then I would remove the apps from any older Macs and install them on the new Mac to transfer your EULA there. Then when a major paid upgrade becomes available in the future opt that app into the MAS by buying it through the MAS. That should be the only way to get the app in the future, Apple no longer is issuing boxed apps, just currently selling off any of the surviving stock.

How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.
