IOS App Store purchase buttons greyed out

So, we have two iphones and two iPads.  Today, I upated one of the iPads to 6.0.1 and now, in the APP STORE, all the purchase buttons are screwed up.  First, they are no longer rectangle - they are square and only showing the first few letters.  Second, they are greyed out - can't depress them.  All my other devices work fine, just this one.  I've tried shutting down all the apps in the task bar and hard resetting the machine.  I also tried logging out of my apple id and re-logging back in.  Nothing works.

I solved it.  I forgot that installing iOS 6.0.1 screws with your settings - randomly on each device - four devices I've installed this on and four different results.  While going through settings, RESTRICTIONS were activated which presents installing apps.  Also, had to relog back into Messages and Facetime.  VERY un-Apple.

  • Mac App Store Mavericks update greyed out

    When I try to update to Mavericks in the Mac App Store on a MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2012) running OS X 10.7.5, but the "Install App" button does not appear to do anything, and in the "Purchases" window, the OS X Mavericks button is greyed out.
    I have tried restarting, killing the storeagent, deleting the plists, and nothing seems to help.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you!

    Select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. Stop or resume the download.

  • New App store interface tabs greyed out sometimes..

    Since the new app store look came out, often I see the tabs but they are unresponsive and I have to close app store and reopen it to be able to click on Updates for instance. Anyone else see this?

    I think that it might be related to DNS and having multiple network connections...
    I encountered the problem for the first time yesterday on a new 2013 iMac whilst I was having problems with Xcode not being able to connect to a version control server (which has worked fine until yesterday).
    The only things that have changed recently are that I have switched off a local DNS server (using OSX server) and that I enabled wifi to perform an air drop.
    Yesterday the suggestion to disable/re-enable wifi didn't solve the problem, and today now that the icons are back working again and switching wifi on/off has no effect.

  • Best way to get refund for ios app store purchases

    Hi, I purchased a $19 app from the app store and then discovered it had faults, and others have confirmed this. I have sent many emails to the developers but they have not replied and people on forums have said they no longer care.
    Well they don't seem to mind continuing to take people's money. If your app has faults and your not going to fix it then you should remove it from the app store. It is that simple!
    In my previous post I was told Appple would not refund my money due to their terms of use that each app store sale was final!
    Well first of all they have refunded money for others who have made much smaller purchases, and secondly I strongly believe that Apple should refund money for apps which are faultly and no longer being maintained. Otherwise they should remove it if the developers aren't going to!
    I have reported a fault with this app using iTunes, but I still have not heard anything from Apple.
    I've heard from other people that the best way to get a refund is to keep fighting and contacting Apple, otherwise Apple will just ignore you :-(

    I'd guess that in the scheme of Verizon, a small percentage of us have this piece of crap phone.  What I don't understand is why this company does not want it's customers to be happy and satisfied.  Ya think I'm going to refer people to Verizon anymore?  I USED to...
    i got a CLNR fascinate this week.its updated to ED05 but still not the 2.3 firmware.i am currently sitting in my bedroom.second floor of the house and only have 2 bars as far as signal goes.i've only had the replacement for 2 days so i'm not sure if i am missing calls or not.but it still eats thru the battery nice and quick.also since i went to the store I WILL NEVER  go back to the store i usually do again.the girl there
    A. talked down to me when i got upset about her not doing much to help.
    B. laughed at me when i questioned her on why my phone wasnt working right and why i kept getting a run around.
    C. after laughing at me walked away from me.
    if this phone i received isnt working right  i will get a swap for my phone seeing how verizon doesnt even offer the fascinate anymore.if i dont get a swap i plan on moving on to some other provider eventhough i've had verizon for over 10 years now.

  • IOS 6.0.1 update still no fix for App Store Purchased section

    iOS 6.0.1 update still no fix for App Store Purchased section. Keep crashing after few seconds and kicked back to home.
    Does apple even aware of this problem???

    Hi, thanks for your comment.
    The steps that I have dines so far is similar to you I think.  I have all so tried a restore on all my devices running 6.0.1 and still nothing.  Have spoke to staff in an Apple shop and they were no help at all and kind said it was my devices that had the issue and nothing to do with anything at Apples end.  Have all s spoke to staff in a premium retail seller of Apple products and again, no he,o what so ever.    I think it's clearly a issue at Apples end with the serves sending out that data when request.  IOS6 is full of bugs and runs so slow it silly. 
    I'm thinking that Android is the way the forward after all the problems I've had with iOS6.

  • I am using only one Apple ID. The problem, since iOS 6,  is the App Store purchased items screen just shows loading screen  it finally crashes or gives the error message 'can not connect to  Apple store'

  • IOS App store Error - Unable to Purchase

    Every time I try to buy an app I get this error:
    Unable to Purchase
    "[App Name]" Could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later.
    I am pretty much certain that it has something to do with the fact that this is a phone which was restored from backup as the phone had to be replaced as the former had a faulty battery.
    I would appreciate any suggestions.
    Best regards
    Felix

    Hi ckuan
    Have you tried signing out and sign back in again in
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > sign out ?
    Have you also tried
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings ?
    I tried these both but I'm afraid these didn't fix anything.
    Thx

  • Hi, i am using iphone4s.. 2 days ago i had a problem with wifi.. button greyed out, it was suggested to keep phone in freezer, worked temporarily and i updeted to ios7.1 but still facing same problem.. wht to do? cant afford to throw off :/ huhh..

    well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
    then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
    never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!

    Tap Purchased from from the bottom navigation bar.
    Locate and swipe left or right on the item would like to hide; this displays the Hide button.

  • HT4854 I puchased Lion in 2011 but no lnger see it in my App Store Purchases. How can I reinstate it?

    I puchased Lion in 2011 but no lnger see it in my App Store Purchases. How can I reinstate it?

    Thanks that helped me get it back in my list! I have also just found out that software can be re-downloaded (for example Lion is no longer formally available in the App Store) by clicking on the "purchased" button while holding down "alt". This worked for my Lion software today.

  • App Store Update Button Not Working

    On my iPad 3, recently I have had trouble accessing my updates.  When I open the App Store, the button at the bottom that says UPDATES indicates that I have 5 but when I touch the UPDATES button, nothing happens.  It does not move to the screen to indicate what the update are.  Each of the other buttons at the bottom: FEATURED, TOP CHARTS, GENIUS, AND PURCHASED. all perform properly.  UPDATES does not move off the home screen,  ideas?

    If you look there are quite literally hundreds of threads on this topic over the past few days. It's an issue with APple's servers.
    You can either wait it out, or if you go into the purchased tab you can download the updates manually or if you sync with a computer you can use iTunes on your computer to download the updates and then sync them onto your iPad.

  • HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated.  There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

  • Itunes showing all data as other and sync button greyed out

    Itunes showing all data as other and sync button greyed out.  I have downloaded and installed Itunes 11 (multiple times) and restored my phone twice already, but I am still not able to sync my Iphone 4 with Itunes.
    When I select / de-select Apps on Itunes to remove from the phone the "Apply" button does appear, but after I click it nothing happens.  Then the greyed out "sync" button just appears again.
    Anyone with some advise please?

    Try Restarting or Resetting your touch.
    Restart: Hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears and turn off your iPod. Press the sleep/wake button and hold it until you see the Apple icon.
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time. The red slider will appear first, keep hold everything until you see the Apple icon. Release the buttons.
    Check your iPod and see if your music and apps have reappeared. If they do after either option, then resync your iPod.
    If neither works, then Restore your touch through iTunes.

  • After upgrading to 10.9.5, the App Store "Update" button stopped working.

    After upgrading from 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 tonight, the App Store "Update" button seems to have stopped working.  The App Store says I have one update available (Xcode version 6.0.1), but when I click "Update," the button turns white for a few seconds, and then it turns back to gray without doing anything.  I've tried the same steps after restarting my computer twice.
    A screen shot is below.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
