ITunes Store app stuck on "Loading..."

Hello, all! I've been having this issue over the past couple of weeks and googling away to see if there's a fix, but I haven't yet found one, and it's really starting to bug me. It's becoming a nuisance for me to have to use the computer any time I'd like to buy a song.
My iPod otherwise works well with iTunes on my Windows machine...shows up, syncs, etc. It's been an issue between iOS 7.0 and 7.0.2. I did a full restore using the IPSW file when I updated to iOS 7.0. Also, I'm running iTunes 11.1, and updating to iTunes 11.1.1 right now, but I'm pretty sure that won't fix the issue. If it does, I'll be sure to update the thread.
Any time I attempt to open the iTunes Store app on my iPod, it won't work. It shows a blank screen, eventually showing a spinning indicator and "Loading..." for a few seconds, then it disappears, and then it goes back to the same screen. I cannot access the iTunes Store through the Home screen or by using a link from Facebook/whatever.
It seems others have had issues with this, but I haven't yet found a way that fixes it. I've tried it at home and with my college's way faster internet, and other apps (including the App Store and even the iBooks Store) work just fine, so there's no connectivity problem so far as I can see. It's just the iTunes Store app which absolutely will not work for some reason.
Thank you!

ITunes Store app no longer loading on iPhone 5 (using iOS 7)

I've upgraded to the new iOS 7.0.2 and everything was working fine but all of a sudden the iTunes Store app no longer loads properly. When I tap on the icon the app flickers but loads in the background. It doesn't actually open. If I double tap the "home" button, I can see the app in the background with any other app that hasn't been closed. When I tap the iTunes store app, when it's in the background, to try and open it from there, it just stays in the background. This was initially working fine when I first loaded the new OS. Has anybody experienced this? I've tried to completely shutdown the phone and restart it with no success. I've also tried re-syncing it with iTunes on my Mac with no success as well. An email to Apple over a week ago still hasn't been answered. If anybody has experienced this and can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Problem resolved. A friend suggested that I go into iTunes on my Mac and backup the phone then try and do a restore. This seems to have worked. I'll update again if this fix doesn't hold.

3G-itunes store apps-won't load-already tried restore

So I synced my iphone to my itunes this morning and now none of my apps will load. I have the most updated version, I tried the restore by holding down the home and off buttons. Nothing seems to work!!! Help!

Hello recess22,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
For some reason the authorization of your computer is not being refreshed or updated for some reason. Here are a few things to try.
First, make sure that the iTunes ID associated with the APPs is the correct ID.
In iTunes on your computer, go to your Applications list under Library.
Right-click on a few of the Applications and choose "Get Info."
Make sure the account information there matches your iTunes ID.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click on your ID in the upper-right corner and choose "Sign Out."
From the Store Menu in iTunes, Deauthorize the computer.
Sign back into the iTunes Store.
Download any Free APP from the APP Store on your computer.
In the Applications tab for your iPhone, make sure that new APP is selected to sync. Sync.
If the error persists, try the following:
Open the iTunes Store on your computer.
Locate and download the "Free Single of the Week" whatever it may be.
(It is generally located in the middle of the page below the "New and Noteworthy" section.)
Once it is downloaded, try to play the free single in iTunes on the computer.
If you are once again prompted to authorize, authorize.
You may be presented with the iTunes Store Terms agreement page. Agree.
Make sure that song is selected to sync to the iPhone.
Sync.
If you are still unable to sync, then the issue is most likely with your iTunes account and you will want to contact iTunes Store Support via the Email link at the bottom of the following page with as much detail as possible:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
Hope that helps,

App store and itunes store are stuck in Japanese store. Says: Account not in Store. Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the Philippines store before purchasing.

My app store and itunes store are stuck in Japanese store. I already moved to the Philippines for about a year ago and my stores still won't change its location.
I already changed the region/country in my apple id. I tried to sign out and sign in back to my account. Tried it in app store, in itunes store, in settings app, in itunes in my laptop, in the apple website. It shows that my apple id is already set to Philippines, no matter where I sign in my account.
The problem is when I open my app store (or itunes store) in my iphone, it appears that it is in the Philippines store; however, when I sign in my account (and I tried to sign in everywhere), I cannot download any app from the Philippine store. When I try to download an app, it always says "Account not in this store. Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the Philippines store before purchasing." I have read everywhere and most of the answers say that it should automatically direct me to the correct store. It doesn't happen to me, apparently.
I have the same problem in both my iPhones. Both are iPhone 3GS and in version 5.1.1. I don't want to upgrade to iOS6 so please don't tell me to do so. Thanks!

try logging out of of store and then log in again

The iTunes Store app freezes on my iPhone when I try to browse my previous music purchases.

Basically, when I browse the purchased section of the iTunes Store app, I can't scroll at first at all. I let the list load for a bit, and it will let me scroll a little bit, but it then freezes again. I've never been able to make it to the bottom of the list of purchased songs. The screen has some strange visual disturbances, like white bars or grey bars above or below the list when I try to scroll sometimes.
I realize it's a long list, probably about a thousand songs or so, but it seems like there should be a way to do this. When I try to scroll through my purchased apps from the App Store app, it's also very choppy, and not all the icons will load, but I can get through them all, maybe because I have purchase far fewer apps than music.
I have tried turning the phone on and off. But it's a new phone, so I wasn't planning on doing a restore just yet for a problem like this, which seems like it could just be a problem on Apple's end.
Just wondering if this a known issue or if anyone else has had this issue?

Try a reset:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
If it doesn't work, time for a restore.

HT204053 What are the pros and cons of 1) choosing to use the SAME Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or 2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides

All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
What are the pros and cons of
1) choosing to use the SAME
Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
P.S.
I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

"One Moment Please... Connecting to iTunes Store... Loading"

Hi,
Just purchased an 11" Air and the App Store just doesn't work on it. Keep on showing the following message, "One Moment Please... Connecting to iTunes Store... Loading". When I click on "Purchases", I get the following mesage, "We could not complete your App Store request" The App Store is temporarily unavailable". But I know the App Store is NOT unavailable cos I have it running fine on my MBP.
Any ideas?
Crazy

Hi,
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Try again.
If you still can't access the MAS, click here.
Mac App Store Customer Servoice
Also, make sure your computer's time and date are correct. Open System Preferences / Date & Time. Select the Date & Time tab then make sure the button next to: *Set date and time automatically* is selected. Click the Time Zone tab. Make sure you have the correct time zone selected.
And... because the Mac App Store is so busy, when you can't access it, wait an hour, try again.
Just found this on the MAS help viewer.
*Although anybody who logs in to your Mac can browse available applications, only an administrator can purchase, download, and install applications.* Make sure you are trying to login to the store with your admin account.
To view the source for that information, with the MAS open, click Help from the Menu bar top of your screen.

ITunes Store app keeps crashing

I downloaded ios7 on my iPhone 4 and now my iTunes Store app keeps crashing and won't even load. Please help! I've tried restarting my phone and closing the app! Nothing's worked.

try this:
From home screen, go to settings - > general -> reset - > reset all settings.
You may lose your wallpaper to the default wallpaper, but none of your content will be erased.
I'm willing to bet this will solve your problem.
Hope this helps!

No data is lost due to a reset.

HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
"Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

Whenever I try to open the iTunes store, it won't load.

Whenever I try to open the iTunes store, the page will load about halfway and then a blank white screen will appear. I don't receive an error message or anything. The only thing that I can view is my iTunes account settings. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes several times but it hasn't solved the issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem. I went into software updates and updated security, and two other updates (can't remember exact updates) then restarted my macbook. My macbook wouldn't start!
I found information about restting the SMC (System Management Controller).
Unplug the power adapter.
Remove the battery.
Hold the power button down for 5 secs.
Reconnect the battery and power adapter.
Press the power button.
My Macbook started up and I opened up itunes and the itunes store opened up with images.
I think the resolution was the software updates, but I'm not 100% sure so I included every step that was made.

The itunes store app on the iphone 4s does not appear on the iphone at all so i can't purchase any media. I have done all the updates on the iphone and in itunes. This happened right after i did the latest iphone update. HOW CAN I GET THE ITUNES BACK?

after doing all the latest updates to both my iphone 4s and itunes the itunes store app on the iphone just dissapeared. Now i can't purchase any media. How can i get itunes store app back on my iphone?

If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > iTunes being set 'off' ?

HT1689 itunes store app on my ipod touch

my kids were playing with my ipod touch and the itunes store app was deleted. is there a way to get it back?

Sorry to say... But... If there is a Restictions Passcode set and you do not know what it is... then you are in trouble...
To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to Restore the Device as New...
You will not be able to perform a backup as this would include the Restrictions passcode... which is what you have to remove...
