ITunes App store down? Maybe something significant happening at Apple?

iTunes app store (purchase or updates) has been down (via iPhone access or computer WiFi) since last night (12+) hours.
I am in Southern California, so it is the U.S. version I am referring to.
I can't help but wonder, indeed hope, they are preparing something big like maybe a software update to fix some of the issues with the 3G (like maybe, a working 3G network phone, OS that permits apps vetted by Apple to crash our phone, etc.).
It is the first time I have seen iTunes app store down for more than a few moments.

I wasn't able to view the Free Apps on I-Tunes but I was able to view all Apps.
I have stop downloading or updating Apps because I believe all the problems everyone including myself are having with the I-Phone all has to do with the Apps because I have never had any problems with my phone or I-Tunes until I started to get Apps. I have the G2 I-Phone and since putting Apps on my phone I have reception problems, Phone crashing, Speaker problems, phone Freezing up, alot of drop calls, ETC. I could go on and on but since I have removed almost all of my Apps bringing the phone back to its normal state a lot of the problems I was haing are disappearing and even the I-tunes back up that would take up to an hour to complete is back to almost normal of about 3 - 5 minutes
I hope Apple discovered the culprit to all the phone problems are coming from the apps and the program they had us installed to use these apps

  • Is the Itunes app store down

    Is the App store down for anyone else? At first the screens just looked 'overladed' where all the search widgets were all stretched out into separate line items. Then on top of that, i could not select ant Categories. Then on the feature page i cannot select any apps but i can move the page around or select install. Updates and Genius wont load at all!!! What up!

    Seems to be a lot of folk with the problem tonight.  I've not had luck with my iphone, ipad, or computer.  I can't update applications, can't download purchased music.  I've changed credit cards, logged in and out of the store, rebooted soft, rebooted hard, checked the DNS server of the router, and tried using 3G alone.  Nothing lets the applications download.  The waiting bar just sits there for minutes until the machine times off.  Shutting down and starting up causes it to say "Error, can't purchase YYYYY at this time."  On my computer, I get a dropped interenet connection error.

  • ITUNES APP STORE WITHOUT A CREDIT CARD WITH EXISTING APPLE ID

    Hey,
    I've been trying to create a free itunes app store account. First I read the instructions in this link : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534, but the link shows how to create a new account, the problem is that I already have a Apple ID.
    On the other hand when I try to sign in in the app store with my existing Apple ID, I get the message "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store please review your account information" with two options "cancel" and "review".
    Clicking in review, I go to the page with the terms of service, continuing I go to a page where I have to type my email, my password, question and answer for the password and my birth date. The email field has the email that is being used with my current Apple ID, and the password field has the password of my existing Apple ID. The other fields are blank. Completing them, and clicking in next I go to the payment options page, but there's no "none" option, so I can't make a account withou using a credit card.
    Is there a way to create a itunes app store without a credit card with my existing apple ID, or a I have to create a new one ?

    few days already..
    it seems like a bug..
    actually i can use another email to log on..
    but i want my all things to be consistent

  • 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!

  • Does everyone need to use the same Apple ID/password for iTunes & App Store in iOS 8 Family share?

    I just set up Family share on my 5S and my wife's 5, both running iOS 8. I am the organizer.
    In order for my wife's purchases to be charged to my CC (per Family Share setup), does she need to be signed in under my Apple ID and password under Settings -> iTunes & App Store? Or, can she use her Apple ID (that she used with her previous App Store purchases)? Additionally, if she makes purchases in iTunes or the App Store under my Apple ID, does she need to enter my password?
    If she's logged into "iTunes & App Store" on her phone, using her Apple ID, will it work?

    Well thanx to your answer I sure did just sign out of my old id, & now it's working! Thanx a lot IIIaass, you saved me from having to deal with anymore frustration! Thanx IIIaass!

  • Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

    Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

  • Does your iTunes App Store keep shutting down?

    I have tried everything support had to offer,and I have narrowed the problem down to the processor getting overloaded by the iTunes App store.So far I have been given no fix.It does this with(1)The latest update,and (2) Stripped down to the Native Apps(3)Yes ,I have rebooted it,reset,restored.I have been using Apple Slice and other App search engines with success.Still it bugs me I can only use this Native App for about 5 minutes before I find myself suddenly back to the Home Screen.It also aggravates me that it doesnt Bookmark.I can find myself scrolling back through bunches of pages just to get back where I was,only to have it shut down again.
      I have been hoping someone has found a fix,since this has been going on for nearly a year.It has been suggested the core of the problem may be that my iPad is a first generation and cant handle all the new bloat in the iTunes Store.Its in perfectly good shape and still has tons of memory (I only use about 1/3 of its 64GB) ,so it seems way too wasteful to retire it.

    Try these steps as needed:
    1. Double tab the home button to show the recently opened apps.  Find the iTunes Store app and slide the preview window (not the icon) upward to close.
    2. Reset phone (no data loss): Press both the home and power buttons, releasing when the Apple logo appears
    3. Restore the iOS in iTunes, also restoring a backup
    4. Restore the iOS in iTunes as new (no backup_

  • 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.

  • App Store Searches vs. iTunes App Store searches

    Why do searches suck so bad on the App Store and return COMPLETELY different results than searches on the iTunes App store? Not only that, they don't even return a tenth of the apps available!

    hmm, so the mac app store is different than the itunes app store and not synced with each other? that explains a lot, thank you!
    maybe they should name it something different?
    or explain better that it has nothing to do with iTunes App Store, and that these apps are not for any ipod/itouch/ipad device, and strictly for the computer?
    Confusing at first, but now that you've explained it, I get it.

    Hi everyone
    I'm a new iPad user (ipad2) and have tried to download a few apps. I already have a iTunes/app store account but often when I try download a app I get a message that says "your request could not be processed"?

    It  could be a problem at the other end, try again tomorrow. Also , try resetting your iPad by holding down the home and sleep/wake button till the Apple logo appears and then let it wake up, maybe that may help.
