Ipad 3 using iOS 7. App Store seems locked and is unusable. Any ideas?

App Store is locked, showing the Checkers game as an overlay. I can see the App Store behind the game but it is unusable.

Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • Why My iPad 3 iOS 6 apps stores can't show the iPhone apps

    Why My iPad 3 iOS 6 apps stores can't show the iPhone apps..

    Devices connecting to the app store are detected and the appropriate apps are shown for the device...for example, a Mac OS X computer will only display the Mac App Store apps, an iPhone will only display the apps that will work on the iPhone, an iPad will only display the apps that will work on the iPad, and in this case there are apps that work on both the iPad and iPhone so those apps are displayed but not the iPhone-only apps.

  • When I click on App Store icon, screen goes blank.  Any ideas?

    Badge on App Store icon says I have one app to update, so click on the icon, and screen is completely blank white.  Info bar at top is visible, as well as a solid gray bar below that info bar, but white from there to bottom of screen.  No activity at all.  Ideas?  Running IOS6 on an iPhone 4

    False alarm.  App store was frozen, but reset phone three times, and on third try, app store opened.
    Thanks

  • My apps store is frozen on a download any ideas how to unfreeze?

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • I am unable to deleat history since I updated my ipad to iOS 7. The clear button is not working, any ideas please?

    I am unable to clear my browsing history in safari since I updated to ios7. The clear button is greyed out. Any subsections please?

    If it is one year old minus one day it is still under warranty. If it is more than a year since you purchased it then yes, the warranty has expired.
    Millions of iPads have been sold. Most continue to function long after their warranty has expired. Check the many requests about updating the iOS on the original iPad on these forums and you'll see that there are many iPads still working after three years. My iPad 2, which I had for over two years is still working well for my son in law who took it over from me when I bought a new one.
    Given that there will always be a few iPads that fail early. Most of those will be covered under warranty. But some will fail after the warranty has expired and before the owner expected it to. I'm sorry to hear that you are in this category. Take your iPad to an Apple store and have it looked at. They will provide you with alternatives, one of which is to purchase a like model to the one that failed at a discount. You can then know your options and make the best choice for you.

  • Just got my iPad 2 back from apple for battery exchange.  It was updated to iOS 7.02.  Trying to get all my apps back but my App Store is locked onto a purchased app and won't let me do anything. Help ,

    My App Store is locked at an app I purchased and won't let me make any selections.  What do I do.  I just got my iPad back from factory for new battery.  It was updated to iOS 7.02 at factory.  Have not been able to take a movie either.  Will take picture.  No idea what square is, but won't let me select it either.

    Try close all apps in multi-task window
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • Using a US iPad with the Mexican app store

    My Mexican mother-in-law wants to buy an iPad while she is visiting us in the US.  How would we go about setting up the Us bought iPad while she is here in the US to use the Mexican app store? 

    The App Store is easy. It belongs to your Apple ID. If she has a Mexican Apple ID will be automatically routed to the Mexican App Store. The country of purchase is irrelevant. There may be issues getting warranty support in Mexico for a US iPad. The warranty on iOS devices is not worldwide. You can ask at the Apple Store to see if Mexico is considered "US-enough". Also, bringing a US iPad back across the border could be trouble. The border guards might want taxes and/or duties.

    Hi Baem_leeds
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
    The links below will provide additional information:

  • Purchased used 4th g it has a lot of glitches sound is not working at all, shutting it off it automaticlly turns back on in 1 min, camera works but camcorder doesn't, all game apps work fine, did freeze when on app store but reset and it seemed to work.

    my ipod touch 4th g is running ios 6.0.1 but is very glitchy.  there is no sound and if I plug in earphones it freezes up.  camera does work but freezes when i try to use Camcorder.  App store was acting up but after reseting it multiple times it is working again.  When I turn it off with the slidder it reboots after one minute.  It is also hard to put into dfu mode and take back out holding consecutive buttons doesn't work....Was stuck in recovery mode for quite awhile till I used a program to kick it out.  I did find youtube vidio that showed how to restore audio by deleating a file but of course this takes a little work and don't know if it would work with this ios. Was just wondering what I can try now.  Would realy like sound.  not so worried about camcorder.  Did check settings and no apps are blocked.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I'm running OSX 10.9.2, when my system updated it required my Apple ID... When I provided it, it said that AppleID hadn't been used at the App Store... so now I'm locked out of my system... what do I do??

    Suggestions Re: I'm running OSX 10.9.2, when my system updated it required my Apple ID... When I provided it, it said that AppleID hadn't been used at the App Store... so now I'm locked out of my system... what do I do??

    First, there are no PPC Macs that can run Snow Leopard or later. Did you buy your iMac used? Where did you get Mavericks in the first place? If it was installed by the seller, then you are not licesnsed to use his/her copy.
    Do you know exactly what iMac model you have? If it's a post 2010 model you can do the following:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. You may then go to the App Store to download Mavericks using your Apple ID.
    If you have a 2010 model you may require a special firmware upgrade before you can do the above: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery.
    If you have an earlier iMac then you must get Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed by installing a version of Snow Leopard either included on the software restore discs or:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.

  • App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

    Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
    OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
    Location : UK
    Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
    Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
    I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
    Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
    Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
    However this did not happen.
    Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
    If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
    The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
    I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
    After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
    I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
    I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
    I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
    I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
    The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
    I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
    In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
    I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
    My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
    Nothing I try will download the app in question.
    The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
    I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
    (Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
    I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
    I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
    Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
    Thanks in advance for any support.

    Hi there.
    Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
    No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
    I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
    While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
    I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
    Thanks again for your help
