HT1338 App Store / iTunes language - forced for location, want English

Mountain Lion needs to be purchased via App Store, which forces you to use the local one for your country. Fair enough, could manage to do so, but after installing, App Store itself has now local languge GUI (Dutch), when I keep everything otherwise in English. Same goes for iTunes - GUI in Dutch when I want it in English. Darn!
Most annoying... I really hate mixing languages in my system - and so far been able to keep all neatly in English only.
Any clue if there's a way to change the GUI of App Store / iTunes to English - even if they then hook with the local selection of available stuff anyhow? I'm really not annoyed by forced local selections with both applications, only about the interface language itself.
Thanks for any tips in advance,
AmsterMac

Are you referring to the Customer Reviews? iTunes doesn't distinguish which language is used by the customer in writing the review so it can't filter out those you don't want to see. In fact someone could write one review and use many languages in it, but it seems those that speak German are the most vocal in the Swiss store.

Won't le me download from app store/itunes keeps asking for password

Everytime i go to download something, it asks me to sign in, and it keeps asking.

Apparently this is a known issue and Apple is working to resolve it as quickly as possible. Don't try to change your password or account, you will have to just retry to download tomorrow.

I am not able to access the "Settings" on my iPad 3. I just get a gray screen for about 30 seconds and then the app shuts down. I am also unable to access the App store, iTunes, or any app requiring an internet connection. Any thoughts?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

How to create iTune or App Store without credit card for my existing Apple ID without create new Apple ID or email?

I got 2 Apple ID and the first time to I use it to iTune or App Store, a box will pop out and telling me this:
"This Apple ID has not yet been used with the i Tunes Store. Please review your account information."
Then, I click on the button, "Review". Bla bla... but ended up, I must provide a credit card in order to complete it.
I do not have credit card, so I search 'How to create iTune or App Store without credit card', same link and same tactic only valid for New Apple ID.
So, it seem no other option to create iTune or App Store without credit card for existing Apple ID, right?

The same thing is happening to me!

Can I force App Store/iTunes to require CCV prior to purchasing?

As I have my credit card details saved in my Apple account, I'm worried that someone who has access to my iTunes or my iPhone will be able to make purchases using my credit card if I was recently logged in. Is it therefore possible to force Apple's App Store, iTunes Store AND Online Store to require credit card verification prior to permitting payment or should I just remove my credit card details?
Thanks

I don't even have a App Store icon on the phone. Is there a setting that is screwed up?
First swipe to the Spotlight search facility on your iPhone and type App Store. Does the App store show in the list?
If not, have Restrictions been activated on your phone (Settings/General/Restrictions) and installing apps restricted/turned off?

Mac App Store is stuck looking for itunes.

Mac App Store is stuck on "One moment please connecting to the itunes store". The mac app store works on the laptop and itunes store works on all devices as well. I have purchased many apps on the iphone, ipad and even itunes on the imac. The Mac App Store will not let me log into my apple id either. Can anyone help? Please

@dah-veed - I have tried that and all of the information is correct. I downloaded a song and it went through in iTunes. However the Mac app store is still lookin for iTunes. I downloaded iTunes 10.2.2 and reinstalled it. Did not help the Mac app store. I read a couple of articles saying that I will need to re-downloaded 10.6.6 to install a new copy of the Mac app store. I did. Still no help. I went as far as re-downloading 10.6.7. Still the Mac app store is looking for iTunes to no avail.

Anyone else experiencing strange behaviour using the App Store/iTunes

I'm having a strange problem with both iTunes and the App Store apps. Searching for items is hit or miss, sometimes no results are returned or tiles are missing their pics etc. Clicking on a item of interest like a TV show, for example, brings up the details page but sometimes the individual episodes descriptions/pics won't load.
The first time I used the new App Store it was showing me GBP currency instead of CDN. I checked my settings and my location was set as Canada, so it definitely wasn't a settings issue on my end. Killing the app and going back in seemed to fix the problem.
I was just browsing some new games when I ran into another problem, prompting me to post here. I clicked on a game's icon/tile to access the details page, but nothing happened. Clicked it again thinking it was me and this time the tile showed as depressed but nothing happened. Clicked another tile and it depressed as well (and the first tile stayed in that state too) but the details page didn't load.
I definitely think there are a few bugs in the new App Store/iTunes apps. Very annoying as there are a few purchases that I'd like to make but can't. Argh.
This all started after upgrading to iOS 6, which has otherwise been fine so far.
Anyone else having similar problems?

YES! I am having a lot of AppStore problems since iOS 6. My 2 main issues are:
1. AppStore crashes constantly or will just sit & spin then does nothing at all.
2. If I search for a specific App, making sure my spelling is correct, AppStore will NOT bring the app up. Instead, it will bring up unrelated apps.
Podcasts app does the same thing, as well as jumbling up dates. Very impossible to find the correct episode.
APPLE, please tell me you are reading this and that a fix is quickly under way!!

If i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it as the option 'set up as new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos and ect?

if i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it to the option 'set up as a new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and log into my apple ID so i can just restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos, contacts, ect. and then later i can add contacts that i need/want instead of them restoring them from icloud?
The reason i asked this question is because i have been wondering this a lot ever since i got an exchange on this ipod (and ive only had it for a few weeks now) because my last ipod had a lot of problems. so after i restored my ipod with my computer/itunes, i downloaded apps that i wanted, and then when i went to the storage to see how much storage was left, it said 0 bytes. i was freaking out because i didnt know how that could be, i mean, cause like, that is impossible when i just 'purchased' it, that the space was full but i looked and all my pictures were on this ipod and i already put them on my computer so i dont need them anymore thats why i wanna reset it now so there is nothing on it so i can have more space for stuff to do and download on it.
it is updated to iOS 8 but that happened when i purchased it, so i didnt have a choice to update it even though i didnt want to update to iOS 8...
and i hope you understand my problem..
i would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me a solution to my problem!!! thank you so much!

Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

"the item you've requested is not currently available in the indian store" error while trying to open App Store/iTunes on iPhone

Hi All,
Whenever i try to open the App Store/iTunes store on the iphone, i get the error "the item you've requested is not currently available in the indian store".
This happens whenever there is link for an App that i want to download and it happens for each and every app which is easily available on iTunes from PC. I dnt know what the problem is because of my friends who has an iPhone is able to access it, so its even more weird.The only difference is that she has an legally unlocked iPhone and i have the "other one". Please help...because it is very frustrating to everytime go on to the PC to download an App.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Can't connect to the App store, iTunes and software update with MBP 13

Hi,
I have a MBP 13 from 2011 and I have a really annoying problem with connecting it to the App Store, iTunes and the software update. It claims that I have no internet/wifi/network, although I clearly have it since I am watching series through Netflix and are on Facebook at the same time. So naturally I started to look in to the firewall and it works fine, since it does not and has never blocked any other Apple products/programs. So I continued looking everywhere in the computer, found nothing. And finally I decided to re-install the MBP and I still cannot connect to neither of these programs.
I feel that it is really unnecessary to hand the MBP in for service for a problem like this, so I was wondering if there is someone out there who has a solution to this problem? Beacue , as I mentioned earlier, my internet/wifi is working perfectly with everything else, so I really do not understand why App Store, iTunes and the software update does not work.

Hello there, Victoria Nisoho.

Why am I not able to access the app store, itunes and safari since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9?

IT tells me they would have to revert to the old OS which they don't want to do or can't do? I have been two months without access. I am at a loss. any help or guidance would be appreciated. I work for state government and our servers are PC-based which I think where the problem is. Is there a work around to gain access to the app store, itunes and safari. The app store icon indicates I have updates available but I am stuck. Please advise.

I know safari is mac's native browser. Since updating to OSX10.9, I have not been able to open safari. Firefox works fine but I preferred safari. Safari just won't open, it acts like it wants to, but the progress bar goes about half way across and stops. What other information do I need to supply?
This is a very frustrating problem when I see that there are updates to apply, but am unable to open the app store to get them. I can't even see them.
IT, in my opinion, has almost thrown in the towel since they are more PC-based.I believe it is a connection problem but they have been unable to fix it. They blame mac for a hasty upgrade release that was not fully tested to see if there were any Mac/PC connection issues.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I've suddenly lost multiple apps (including settings, App Store, iTunes, camera, photos etc). How do I get them back?

I've suddenly lost multiple apps (including settings, App Store, iTunes, camera, photos etc). How do I get them back?

Thanks for replies, however...
Tried turning off/on and hard resetting - didn't work.
Spotlight search didn't find them either.
Had about 5 pages of apps - now only have 2 so they're not on another page.
The settings app is missing too so can't reset through settings.
They were all there last night but my ipad is almost empty when I picked it up tonight.
