IOS 6 app store 'Featured' and 'Charts' tabs not loading

Got the iPhone 5 recently, opened it, worked like a charm. About two days ago, I tried to open the App Store to find a new game to try, waited, waited some more, and just wouldn't load. Now the odd thing is that the 'Genius' tab, and Search functions work just fine, it's the 'Featured' tab and the 'Charts' tab that won't load. The pinwheel in the top status bar cycles for a brief second, then goes away and I'm left with a blank page.
I have tried the following:
     1.) Hard reset (Hold the 'Home' and power button until the apple logo appears)
     2.) Made and then restored from a backup (The brilliant idea that the "Genius'" at the apple store told me, in my eyes it sounded stupid to begin with)
     3.) Switched off WIFI and tried going through LTE, the same the other way around
Does anyone know of a fix for this? Keep in mind that this is not the same as the 'Cannot connect to iTunes' issue.

I have the same issue with Ipad3, and I did the following steps recommended on other topics but still not working
1. setting>general>date&time = set automatically to OFF
2. set your year to 2013
3. off and connect again your network connection and open your app store. wait and see..it should now open!
4. you can set back your date&time = set automatically to ON again.
please help

App Store "Featured" and "Charts" pages not working on my iPhone

I recently updated some previously purchased app this morning and was asked to re-agree to Apple's Terms of Service. I did not get stuck in the TOS loop others have described, but now the App Store program is not working properly. When I try to use the program the "Featured" and "Charts" pages just dispaly a blank white screen and the "Categories" button doesn't do anything. I've tried to reset the phone several times with no change. So far other programs, including the iTunes music store seem to be fine. I'm using a iPhone 4S with iOS.6.0.

BTW, while reading other topics. I found this very helpful and it works for me. Still, unfortunately, the Search from App Store doesn't work.

HT4623 I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store and Safari keeps crashing

I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store- I cannot search or even view my purchases.
Also Safari keeps crashing. I have shut down the phone and restarted it twice and that hasn't helped. Any ideas?

The Update would not have Installed if it was not suitable for your Device.

App Store Featured "Your request could not be completed"

My iPad cannot load the 'Featured' tab in the App Store (for the last week Dec 9, 2011). I have an iPad and an iPod Touch (both latest generation with latest iOS). The iPod works perfectly. I have read many posts about "Your request could not be completed" but most of them are old and have problems/solutions that I have ruled out.
I have tried restarting my WiFi, restarting the iPad (even cold boot).
SOLUTION (just fixed it while I was writing this)
I signed out of my US account and signed in to my Australian account. Then it worked. It also worked when I signed back in to my US account.
If you have this problem, all I can suggest is sign out and sign in.

Same here (US). iPad 2 App Store "Featured"... Same error. Happened immediately after I switched between two different accounts (UK account back to a US account) so was initially concerned Apple had done something to prevent country switching but all other pages are fine. Hopefully then, as I'm not alone, this is a server side problem.

App Store featured and top chart items are blank

When i go to the App Store I can see purchased items, can update current apps and see Genius items but when i go to Featured tab and Top Chart these are both blank?

Hi friarnige,
I would suggest logging out of the iTunes store on your iPhone, closing all apps, and restarting the iPhone to address this issue.
Sign Out of App Store
Settings > iTunes & App Stores
Tap on your Apple ID
Tap Sign Out
Close All Apps
iOS: Force an app to close
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the red dot with the minus sign to close it.
Double-click the Home button and try opening the app again.
For more information, see iOS: Understanding multitasking.
* It's typically unnecessary to force an application to close. You can access all recently used apps by double-clicking the Home button, but these apps are not necessarily open.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please refer to this article for more information:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Mac App Store, Evernote and iMovie will not let me click on anything

After I open the App Store/Software Update, anything within the App Store is unclickable (even the menu bar at the top of the screen). I have to force quit the application in order to close it. I have tried to restart the computer, to no avail. I get the same results whether I open the "App Store" or I go through "Software Update". If I get an update reminder pop up notification, I can click 'install' on that, but it does nothing after it goes away. The only available update the App Store shows available is iMovie ver. 10.0.5. Everything responds to my mouse when I hover over an item, but I can't click on anything.
Also, this is happening to one other application so far. Evernote. I have used Evernote for some time without a problem, but soon after this began to occur, my Evernote started showing the same symptoms.
•     I have Sophos for virus software. I turned it off, no change.
•     I checked my firewall settings and App Store connections are allowed.
•     I don't have any Apps like Little Snitch, at least that I am aware of that would block connections

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
           ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I had somebody work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail and Contacts do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox and iPhoto etc. How do I get it fix I can still use Safari, Firefox and ed again?

I had somebody work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail (crashes) and Contacts do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox, Word, Photoshop and iPhoto etc. How do I get the Apple programs fixed again?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

App store, messages and notepad will not open

When I try to open app store, messages or notepad I get an error message that states that they quit unexpectedly

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.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Published IOS app space bar and return does not work

Hi
We have developed an app for iPhone/iPad in XCode on a mac. When debugging on iPad from mac, we are able to enter any character in to a text box.
However, the app has been sent through Apple in to the iTunes store and when installing from there, entering in to a text box, the space bar, return key and other non A-Z 0-9 characters just do not work. The space bar does seem to make the auto correct suggestions change, but does not enter a space in to the text.
Why would this happen?
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Contact facebook here. Sounds like its an app issue.

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

App store feature problem

Hi,i can't access with my app store feature and top charts.Kindly assist me pls.Im being this problem for 3months.pls

my problem is the users already purchased the app should have 1 year validity ,after that i want the user to use "Update Subscription".
Can you explain this a bit more? Users who purchase the app should have a 1 year validity for what? Are you talking about the app purchase or the in-app purchase? Are you talking about future in-app purchases or people who have already purchased your app before you added the in-app purchase feature?
Can i get the Purchase date of the app based on the user from app store.
Yes. When your app completes the in-app purchase, it should forward the receipt to your server, which will verify it with iTunes, and complete the transaction. All the details are here.

IOS App Store hijacked by Bible sellers?

I object to the fact that when searching in the iOS App Store with the keywords "student newspapers," the results are mostly Bibles. The Bible sellers apparently have hijacked the iOS App Store by learning how to game the system to generate their apps in the wrong category, as Bibles are not student newspapers.
Please fix the iOS App Store so that Bibles are not listed when people do a search for student newspapers. I have reported this three times, but nothing has been done about it.

Hi Hamid,
I had realised that my iPhone Date & Time settings were not on auto so I can manually change them. Also I had heard rumours that other peoples' iPhones were doing the same thing as mine. I had looked into it for a day or so and found the answer on a website from Google.
I checked it and it worked!
Also thanks
Jack
