Pls can someone let me know why links to iTunes apps aren't working. Thanks
Is it just the App Store app that you're having problems with ? If it is then you could try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
If that doesn't fix it then try closing the App Store app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a 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.

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
Good luck. -
"Too Many Redirects" problem when linking to the iTunes App Store... weird
I've done a decent amount of searching on this issue and I haven't really found anything that addresses this problem... basically, whenever I (using my iPhone/Safari) try to click a link to the App store; I get:
*Cannot Open Page*
+Safari cannot open the page because too many redirects occurred.+
I'm actually developing a site right now for an iPhone game; and I was using the link to Shazam as placeholder until we have our app approved. I generated the link using the iTunes App Generator - http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/wa/itmsL inkMaker - which gave me the code I pasted at the bottom if anyone is interested.
This did not work; but I figured the issue was on my side so I started to trouble shoot things. So the first thing I did was search "Shazam" using my iPhone's Safari browser - and the 3rd result is the App Store link:
http://www.google.com/search?q=shazam&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&client=firefox-a
I've used both my iPhone and the iPhone simulator (part of the SDK) to test this, and I've used different ISPs just in case there was something in between. *Same error.*
So thinking Shazam might also have problems; I tried a few more well known app name searches. *Everything is having this problem, it seems.*
This is my first support discussion post so sorry if it's too rambly or if I'm asking about a well known issue - but I really looked into this one and I'm wondering if it's pandemic or rare.
Thanks!Hello mollusk,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
Just to let you know, this is primarily and end user to end user forum for the iPhone.
When you're working with the SDK, you will most likely get better information and feedback via the Developer's resources:

http://developer.apple.com/iphone/
Good Luck with that APP.

ITunes/App Store won't let me complete my purchase,
says there is billing problem with previous order and to please update payment plan
Have you logged into your account and checked/updated your payment details ? If there was a problem with your last purchase and iTunes wasn't able to collect its payment, then you won't be able to buy/download anything else from the store until you have a valid payment details on your account and what you owe has been paid off.
You should be ableto check/update your payment details on your account via your computer's iTunes : go into the Store > View Account menu option and log into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

ITUNES APP STORE WITHOUT A CREDIT CARD WITH EXISTING APPLE ID
Hey,
I've been trying to create a free itunes app store account. First I read the instructions in this link : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534, but the link shows how to create a new account, the problem is that I already have a Apple ID.
On the other hand when I try to sign in in the app store with my existing Apple ID, I get the message "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store please review your account information" with two options "cancel" and "review".
Clicking in review, I go to the page with the terms of service, continuing I go to a page where I have to type my email, my password, question and answer for the password and my birth date. The email field has the email that is being used with my current Apple ID, and the password field has the password of my existing Apple ID. The other fields are blank. Completing them, and clicking in next I go to the payment options page, but there's no "none" option, so I can't make a account withou using a credit card.
Is there a way to create a itunes app store without a credit card with my existing apple ID, or a I have to create a new one ?few days already..
it seems like a bug..
actually i can use another email to log on..
but i want my all things to be consistent -
ITunes - App Store - There are updates available that ain't available?
First of all, I'm starting to think that the iPhone ***** big time, but that's a whole other story...
So, here's my issue: Apparently there are updates to my applications available. So says iTunes and also the App Store app on the iPhone, both of them reporting the same number of apps available.
I'm quite sure that there was a button to "update all" on the iPhone on 2.0.1 and 2.0, but that seems to be missing? (but not the point anyway)
Then, in iTunes, the applications view tells me that there are updates available. When I click that link on the lower right that usually redirects to the update page, iTunes tells me that there are no updates available for my account?!
How can that be? Either there are or there ain't.
Is there a way to fix that problem? I would have updated the applications trough the iPhone, but as there are many (44) and I would have do update them one-by-one, I'd like to go an easier way...
I'm really patient, but I start to hate my iPhone. As it is now, it is just a ******* expensive piece of junk. :-((I have fixed a similar issue in my iTunes. Here is my thoughts on why it happened and the fix.
I had recently added a second computer w/ iTunes with which my iPhone is now synching. I wanted to move my music library synching from work to home.
On the 1st PC (@ Work) I was synching:
Info, Contacts
Info, Calendar
Ringtones
Music
Podcasts
Video
Applications
On the 2nd PC (@ Home) I began synching:
Ringtones
Music
Video
Applications (this nicely caused all of my iPhone Applications to be copied to this PC, in case of a need for a restore from home)
After beginning synching on the 2nd PC (@ Home), I disabled synching on 1st PC of:
Ringtones
Music
Video
Applications (This apparently caused the issue)
The issue with phantom updates was showing up on the 1st PC (@ Work), but I was not synching Applications here. Apparently, I had updated some Applications from the 2nd PC (@ Home) and iTunes detected this and saw a need to show that my iTunes Applications needed updating. Something not in synch between iPhone - iTunes - App Store I believe.
The Fix:
On the 1st PC (@ Work) I enabled synching of Applications and then performed a synch. The phantom updates went away. I noted during the synch that my iPhone apparently updated some of the applications in my iTunes library.
I hope this helps or enlightens others having this difficulty. -

This may be a silly question, but in itunes>app store I only have tabs for ipad & iphone apps. I cannot find where to buy apps in (itunes>app store) for my MBP. Can someone help please, what I`m I missing ?
Hi,
Check your Applications folder for the App Store app.
If it's not there you can reinstall from the v10.6.6 combo update available at this link.

Where d i go if the vendor of an app has no webpage and the support link in the app store points to a nonexisting webpage?
The app does not work and i paid 12$ for it
How do i get either supportor my money back
Thanks
JuergTry the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page. -
HT5552 Using PayPal for iTunes/App Store
I try to select PayPal as my payment option for iTunes/App Store, but when I select the PayPal icon and click the "continue" button, as directed, nothing happens. Why can I not select PayPal? All of my payment information is stored in PayPal, and I would like to keep it that way.
Thanks for the pointer Lesnes.
Unfortunately I am unable to create an itunes account as part of the process for doing so asks for my bank or cc details which I am not happy to provide.
I received an email from Apple support last night with the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
The link does not take into account that I already have an apple ID so instead of being able to follow all the steps I get asked to log in and review and this goes to a page requesting billing info with no 'None' or Paypal options. -
Is there a way to check for possible scam apps in the iTunes App Store and to report it to Apple so it can be kicked off of the App Store? What should I do if I purchased one of those app and it later turns out to be scam? Will Apple terminate the scam developer's account?
You can look at an app's reviews before buying it, that should give an indication as to whether it does what it says that it does. And if an app is newly released then you may want to wait a few days (unless it's from a recognised source), just in case it only has positive reviews (which might be from account's that the developer has created him/herself)
If you do buy an app that doesn't do what it's described as doing then you can use the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
Whether an app will be removed or not I don't know, but I assume that they will do something if it is a scam. -
Why my apple id doesnt accept in itunes app store..
Hi what woul i do if my apple id doesnot accept to itune/app store..
Hello jillianeshania,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to purchase an item from the iTunes and App Stores. It sounds like you have successfully created your Apple ID, but you will need to configure it to be used with the iTunes and App Stores by updating your billing information and location.
I recommend starting with step 10 in the section titled “Creating an Apple ID on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch” in the following article:
Tip: If you are trying to create an account using an existing Apple ID, like your iCloud email address, you will receive a prompt telling you that your email address is already an Apple ID. Simply tap Continue, and then tap Use Existing Account on the following screen.
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
You can find additional information at the following link:
Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2589
If you've used your Apple ID in the iTunes and App Stores in the past and this does not resolve your issue, please provide additional informatin like the error message you are seeing.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
