HT204266 Searching The App Store for Specific Apps?????

Apple products have changed my life for the better. Apple websites?... well let's just say that I find them difficult to use. Take the App Store, for instance, having just purchased an iPad I am interested in purchasing some apps to use on it. Alas when I check out the listings on the App Store I am unable to find the apps I am interested in. First off I am unsure which category to look in...would bird identification guides be listed under sports or reference? I checked both and neither appears to contain the birdwatching guide I am interested in, iBird Pro. Is there any way to conduct a search of the App Store for a particular app? I tried typing iBird Pro into the search window and it found nothing...
Thanks

Michael,
Problem Solved! If you can believe this if you go to the iTunes Store and click on the Browse Apps Store link at the bottom right corner of the page you will be brought to a page displaying the various App Categories (Books, Business, Catalogs, etc). In the upper right hand corner of this page there is a search box. I had typed iBird Pro and then birdwatching into this search box and got the No Suggestions Found error message. Today I spoke with a support person at Apple and together we discovered what the problem is. The search box on this Browse App Store page DOES NOT SEARCH FOR APPS in the App Store, rather it just searches on the Apple site. To search for apps you must do so through the actual iTunes Store site.
I pointed out to the rep (a very nice lady) that in labeling the option "Browse App Store" they are leading the viewer to believe that clicking on the link actually brings you to the Apps Store Page and thus should allow you to perform an Apps Search. She allowed as to how she supposed one might think that, to which I replied that it's not exactly "intuitive" to realize that clicking Browse App Store just brings up a dummy/model but non operative site.
Her reply to this?
Well it's intuitive now that you know it...
Bill Gates, are you listening?
Thanks again for your help.

Is the Itunes app store down

Is the App store down for anyone else? At first the screens just looked 'overladed' where all the search widgets were all stretched out into separate line items. Then on top of that, i could not select ant Categories. Then on the feature page i cannot select any apps but i can move the page around or select install. Updates and Genius wont load at all!!! What up!

Seems to be a lot of folk with the problem tonight. I've not had luck with my iphone, ipad, or computer. I can't update applications, can't download purchased music. I've changed credit cards, logged in and out of the store, rebooted soft, rebooted hard, checked the DNS server of the router, and tried using 3G alone. Nothing lets the applications download. The waiting bar just sits there for minutes until the machine times off. Shutting down and starting up causes it to say "Error, can't purchase YYYYY at this time." On my computer, I get a dropped interenet connection error.

Why Can't I Get Back Into The App Store Via My iPhone4?

I just activated my iPhone 4 (Verizon) today and was downloading free apps w/o problem until a few hours ago when I could no longer gain access to the App Store.
When I click on the App Store it just gives me a "loading" message but nothing comes up.
Have Net access via wireless and 3g. Can do searches w/Safari and can get into the iTunes store, but not the App Store.
Is the App Store "down" or is there something I can do to "fix" this problem?
Please advise, thanks!

Update: Well, it looks like I have more problems than just the App Store. Now, I can't bring up the Settings page (it's blank). Phone still works but other functions like Maps and Weather also come up blank.
Any way to reset w/o the Settings page? Help!

HT204266 App Store displays an item, previously (& caused by Diigo), now a farm game that cleared down to reveal Google Earth, & remains stuck showing it - the App Store is rendered inaccesible

Further to this, the on screen keyboard now opens in the top half of the screen instead of the lower, usually obscuring the text entry field, or causing the users hands to obstruct, not sure if it's the same issue but some reviews for Diigo ( formerly iChromy ) suggest it has known issues and one user reports the same problem in App Store (September 2012 reviews for app) and that it was like that for weeks...., please advise.

For the keyboard press and hold the 'keyboard' key at the bottom right of the keyboard and after a second or two you should get a popup - slide your finger up to the 'Dock' option on that popup and then remove your finger from the screen and the keyboard should move back to the bottom of the screen.
For the App Store, have you tried closing it via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

When I go to a website and then to the drop down I automatically get routed to the App Store or to other websites other than the one I selected

When I go to a website from Safari I am routed to the App Store or to another website. I hit my home button and then it takes me back to the website I selected. It is almost like a virus. Help!

Simple really. The first 3 articles have steps in them, but not in this order.
#First, with Firefox closed, remove the toolbars from Windows ''Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs''. After the window populates, look for the Toolbars; if there, click on them and click on the button to the right of it that says "Remove". Then restart your system ''Start > Shut down > Restart''
#*Article --> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_toolbars#Uninstalling_via_Windows_Control_Panel
#Second, start Firefox and check in Firefox Add-ons: '''''Add-ons > Extensions'''''. Look for Yahoo Toolbar or Babylon and try to remove by clicking "Remove" or "Disable".
#*Article --> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons <u>and</u> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20uninstall%20an%20add-on
#Restart Firefox by exiting (''Firefox button > Exit'' or ''File > Exit''), wait a few seconds (10-30), then click the Firefox desktop icon to start Firefox and test to see if the problem is resolved.
The last 3 articles are for other steps to take if the above does not work to solve your problem.

How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now

Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now and I only purchased my new iMac in December 2012
Thanks....

Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords. Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up. That will give you the ID no. and password.

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."

Hi, Hugo,
In similar cases it helped to remove the GarageBand "Preferences" file from the User Library.
Open the folder
your home folder > Library > Preferences
and move the file "com.apple.garageband.plist" to the Desktop.
Then try again to launch GarageBand.
Regards
Léonie

The App Store shuts down when trying to search

I'll be searching something in the App Store and then it randomly shuts down. I have tried restarting multiple times and that did nothing. This has never happened before and only happened when I got iOS 6. Someone please help!

This happens only because ios 6.It has bugs.You try to restore and if it did not work just try to downgrade it to ios 5.1.1

I cannot down load Yosemite from the App Store. It keeps saying there is an error. I have Mavericks installed now. Can I download Yosemite anywhere else besides the App Store?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ appstore.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
