ITunes App Store - Categories Issue

When I am searching in iTunes for new iPhone apps, after I select any category, I just get a blank window. Any suggestions as to how to correct this?

This is true for global categories throughout all applications. But first of all those categories are "hidden" in the menue, so a lot of users will most likely not recognize the availability of the categories in this menu bar.
But the the next problem, and this is much worse, the subcategories for games (i.e. action, rpg, puzzle, ...) are totally gone from the appstore pages. This is a very bad thing for developers and users alike. With over 20.000 games and over 70.000 apps in the store I was very much hoping for a great improvement in usability and app visibilty with itunes 9. The sad thing now is that the opposite became reality.
If I am able to find the games category in the menu, then I am greated the two top apps bars (free and nonfree) and for the rest, well welcome to (right now) 657 pages of games. This not satisfying at all.

My new iPhone 4S can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi. Works with 3G network. How to fix this?

My new iPhone 4S (week old) can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi (and some other apps e.g. Hollister – but most of the other apps like Safari or ebay work fine). There is no problem with those apps loading via 3G network. When I turn off the wi-fi, it runs over 3G and i can access App store without any problem. When i turn off the 3G network and turn the Wi-Fi on, those apps like App Store won't work, other apps work fine. When i turn on both Wi-Fi and 3G, the App store (and so on) is also not working, other apps are.
I also found out that when the Wi-fi is on and I sign out my apple ID, the App store starts working! But when I log in again, it will imediatelly stop working. I've tried logging in with others apple IDs, still with the same result. There is no problem with my apple ID account, because it works on my iPad, even via Wi-Fi.
When i first set up my iPhone, there were no complications using App store ia Wi-fi with exactly the same account. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but this problem started when i logged in with my UK account and then wanted to log back in with my Czech account.
I tried turning it off, hard reset and deleting my iPhone several time (even without back up). Nothing worked since then.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
I would really appreciate ANY help. This porblem is driving me crazy!

I am also having the same issue. Please help!

Can't download anything from itunes/app store after 5.0.1

I've read a few discussions on this topic but have yet to find any solution that works, so I'm reposting hoping someone has an idea.
We have an ipad 16gig, and recently updated to iOS 5.0.1. (via WiFi, this isn't a 3G model). Immediately after setting up after the update, the iPad can no longer update apps, download new apps, download iBooks, download songs, podcasts ... basically anything from the iTunes or App store. All are met with the message:
"Unable to Download (name here) - (name here) could not be downloaded at this time." with a Done or Retry button.
The same thing occurs for all apps, music, podcasts, etc... same message each time.
During the setup after the update was installed, we agreed to the new iTunes/App Store agreement, so I don't think it's that case where iTunes can't do anything because the Agree option got lost somewhere. I also don't have any downloads pending that need to be paused.
Solutions I have tried so far:
1. Restarting and resetting the iPad, both via the power button, and holding down the power button / home button.
2. Signing out of iTunes/App store, re-signing in, with two different Apple IDs.
3. A full restore of the iPad from my computer via iTunes.
4. Attempting to buy something free from iTunes or the App Store (somewhere this was suggested as a solution). Some descriptions of this solution implied it was to force itunes to ask you to agree to the new TOS, this hasn't happened, and we agreed to the new TOS when 5.0.1 started up.
5. Resetting my router. Didn't think this was the issue but did it anyway.
Googling the issue, apart from the above solutions, I've encountered something about "permissions" on a folder to which apps are downloaded being set wrong by the update, but I have no clue how to address that, it seemed to have something to do with "jailbreak" ipads of which this is not.
I'm about ready to take it to the Apple store but I was hoping I could find something online first, and spare confusing some poor Apple employee.

I found a solution, and it's horrible.
1. Back up your data. I used iCloud, but I also made a restore file through itunes, though you CAN'T USE THAT RESTORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. It will just install the problem anew! Delightful!.
And then, basically do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 which translates to:
2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data
3. Set up your iPad as a new ipad - if you choose to restore from an old restore file, you'll just reinstall the original problem.
4. Connect to iCloud to reclaim your iCloud stuffs.
5. Spend the next hour annoyed and frustrated as you restore your music, photos, apps, etc... to what you think you had them.
But miraculously, this let our ipad download apps again.
Again, restoring from a backup will not fix the problem.
All this speaks to some issue that requires the drive on the ipad to be reformatted with new permissions, or something, which is pretty **** annoying. Waiting to see the problem re-appear after it's finished syncing my music. Hurray!

How can I correct the iTunes/App Store error I'm getting on my 4s, since upgrading to IOS 7?

Since upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4s I cannot download from iTunes/App Store - I get the message "... could not be downloaded at this time. Please try again later". I can download via iTunes on my laptop and then transfer via iCloud no problem, but can't make purchases directly.
How can I resolve this issue?

I had the same error when trying to update my apps on my ipod touch. I tried to input my security code numerous times to no avail. I also made sure my billing address was the same as what my bank had on file. To fix the issue I went into iTunes, logged onto the iTunes store, went to account settings and reviewed my recent purchases. Turned out that I had made a recent purchase and didn't have enough money left on my credit card to pay for it at the time. I paid off the credit card, and then input my security code once more and now it works fine. I've heard that some debit or pay as you go credit cards require a minimum balance, so make sure you have at least that amount in your account.

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.

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

You can find additional information at the following link:

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.

1) Confirm you are able to access and edit your Apple ID at Apple - My Apple ID
2) Close all open applications and restart your computer.

Apple App Store "Categories" wont load !

The Apple App Store(INDIA) refuses to show categories on my ipod touch. When I tap the category pane in the appstore , it shows a blank area(it does not load the categories list) . At first I thought it must be some connectivity issue or something. But looks like many users are facing this problem. Whats more interesting is , all other countries App store displays categories list and works fine on my ipod except for my country's. What is wrong . how do i fix it ??
PS : Apart from categories , other panes such as "featured" , "top 25" , "search" , "update" everything loads fine ..
Any help would be appreciated !

Here s a screenshot .

Itunes app store purchases

I will like to know why if the iphone 4 is a world wide selling device the itunes store content for my country is so limitted and when I want to purchase an application that I like from the US itunes app store I cant because my card was not issued in the USA and therefore I have no builing address and also I cant create a paypal account over the itunes store because I get an error saying that since I am not in the US the paypal account cannot be created for purchage in the US itunes apps store. *** is my money not valuable or Steve Jobs and Apple has so much money that my little international bank account is not needed.

If your credit or debit card bank account is associated with a company based in the U.S. then your purchases will not show up in the Pakistan store.
The iTunes and Mac App Store are actually one in the same. One of iOS devices the other for Mac OS X.
