Ipad 2 ios6 apps store wont let me download any apps

Since updateing from iOS5.1.1 to 6.0 the button for downloading an app (either 'FREE' or '$xx.xx') remains greyed out.
Please help.

If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

    apps store wont let me download free app due to previous purchasing problem? help!!

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill ? If it's not then that might be the reason that you are getting the security code error : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

  • My App store wont let me download new apps but when I go and try to activate it, it says thats its already been activated. What do I do?

    Please Help!!!

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Are you putting in the address where the bank sends the monthly statement?
    Apple's servers are very picky about the format of the address. If you live in the USA, then the server is expecting the style that the US Postal Service uses. One way to do this is to use the USPS ZIP Code lookup service;
    https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction!input.action
    Enter the address to look up the ZIP code and then copy the exact USPS output into your iTunes account information.

    I Want to download i0s 5
    i have ipod touch 3rd gen

    You need to connect your iPod to iTunes on a computer and update from there.
    Before updating, I recommend that you create a backup first, using : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Please note that iPod 3d generation only goes up to iOS 5.1.1
    To update the iPod, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
    scroll down to the part that's about updating with iTunes.
    Good luck

  • App store wont let me open cretain apps

    I searched 'computer' in the app store, and it shows apps so that you can connect to your computer. But when I tap on one, it starts to show the description, then it closes the app store. I've tried other apps of that kind, same thing. I tried seeing the description to a game app and it showed me. But when I searched it, it closed. Ive had problems since iOs 6 with an app closing unexpectedly. Such as a game or safari. I kind the liked ios 5 game center better. Nothing to do about that though. Any solutions?

    It closes the app store if I want to see the description of anything i searched.

    Hello there, Tremonteo.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting your issue:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Particularly:
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Help my app store wont let me download ANYTHING even apps i previously downloaded and if it makes a difference, i have IOS 7

    No matter how hard i try i just cant download anything PLZ HELP ASAP i need an app for my honors science!!!

    Try a Reboot.  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo appear, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any data or settings.  When it comes back on, see if you can download apps.
