No images in app store

All images in the app store are blank except a blue question mark in the middle. Any ideas why i cannot see the images?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Web Images and App Store Icons are distorted in MacBook Retina Display

    Recently, most of the icons on Mac App Store are distorted. I also noticed this on web images when browsing using Safari or Google Chrome. By the word "distorted", I mean that the image was not properly loaded, it contains pink lines and multiple blue and pink dots. I even experienced this on Apple website. When I click on "Shop", the images for Macs, iPod, iPhone, etc. are distorted or you can see some image ghosting. I haven't experienced this issue on other non-web applications like Office, Finder, etc.
    Do you think it is a problem with my machine, or my internet connection? My internet connection seems fine when I use other laptop or computer. I even tried browsing the web around 3 AM in the morning when the connections is fast, but the issue is persistent for web browsers (Safari and Chrome) and for App Store as well.
    I am using 13" rMBP, by the way.

    I can now observe the issue on websites that contain large graphics like Flickr. On another laptop (Windows), some websites are not loaded properly because of my internet connection. For my Mac, I think it would be best to test Safari and Chrome using a stable internet connection before asking for technical support just to rule out a possible cause of the problem. Also, some websites that I view, aside from the distorted images, contain codes (maybe HTML codes). This means that the web page is not loaded properly, right?
    My connection speed is 0.48 Mbps for download speed and 0.28 Mbps for upload. Is this too slow for Retina display?
    I bought my MacBook Pro during the first week of November and did not encounter any graphics issue until now. I used to browse the internet and the web images seems to be loaded properly.
    I do not encounter any graphics issues when using other non-web applications like Microsoft Office, Calendar, Photoshop, et al.

  • Blue box with Question Mark instead of Images on App Store

    I googled and only found users with same problem on browsers, or forums. I on the other hand has gotten this on the app store itself. Was working fine a minute ago and when I relaunched app store i had several images with the blue box. I uninstalled garage band and then this happened, could that be the cause? I really dont need garage band, I dont want to reinstall it just to fix the blue box/missing images issue.
    pls see screenshot:

    Thanks! lol, seems silly now i had to post here when all i had to do was close and relaunch... sorry for wasting your time. thanks to those who answered.

  • App store download older version of app instead of latest

    My app has been updated in app store from v1.1.1 to v1.2 on Dec 11 2013.
    Following image is app store update view capture of 4 devices, they are using the same apple ID and not sign in iCloud. you can see that three devices show version 1.2 and one device shows v1.1.1. The top 2 devices download v1.2, but the bottom devices download v1.1.1. Why app store is not downloading the latest version app to all devices? Why some devices show v1.2 in app store update view, some show v1.1.1?

    I guess that the app was updated for iOS 7 (your iPod 5 with the latest software update) and also for devices which running an older iOS versions (iOS 5, or 6).
    This could happen, if features for iOS 7 devices were already added to version 1.1.1 (iOS 7) and then later also added for older iOS versions. (v. 1.2) or if the developer decided to do it the other way arround, and first added the new features for older devices and maybe then sometime later also for iOS 7.

  • Snow Leopard (10.6.8) Web Browser, App Store, iTunes Store image won't finish loading.

    Hello,
    I've recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard by clean installing. Once I upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) everything seemed to work perfectly except for the new keyboard that I purchased (requires upgrade to 10.6.8). So as I upgraded to 10.6.8 by "Software Update…".
    Once the update was completed and the machine restarted I've noticed when I opened opened couple of common sites in Safari (such as: Flickr, YouTube, and Amazon) and some of the images won't finish loading with a "?" in the middle where the image would be and browser assumes that the site was done loading. First I thought this was a refresh problem so I hit refresh on the browser but nothing really happened. I thought this was strange so I decided to download Google Chrome and Firefox to try it out as well. Same situation as well… Then I opened  the App Store and iTunes Store and the same things happened there as well. I'm assuming that all these images exists online so anything that access the web to load images will just crap out. One odd thing is that this problem don't seem to happen on any of the sites on Apple when I view it in the web browsers.
    I couldn't figure out the reason so I decided to reinstall Snow Leopard (10.6.3) again by cleaning out the hard drives as before. Once it finished installing I opened up iTunes Store and Safari and the images loads fine. So went ahead (crossing my fingers) to "Software Updates…" to 10.6.8 and the the problem happened again.
    I naively went ahead and tried to clean installing it again, thinking "Third time is the charm!" But same situation once I upgrade to 10.6.8. After the third time I let the browser sit there after it didn't load those images. I waited about five minutes and hit refresh and the images loaded. This happened the same with App Store and iTunes Store images as well. This is very odd because my interment connection hasn't been a changed before I upgraded to 10.6.8. Seems like browsers just cuts off the loading time of the whatever that's lagging instead on that site.
    Is there a solution in the preferences for this or is this some kind of a bug that I'm having with my OS disc or network card? I don't think this has nothing to do with my modem or my interment service because it was working fine before I upgraded to 10.6.8.

    I get that same problem too-you could try checking your network settings, release and renew your IP address, see if that helps. There is a tweaking menu you can get in Firefox that can help somewhat (google Firefox tweaks) but you'd have to raise the hood in FF and tinker a bit, but it does help. How much RAM do you have on your Mac Pro?, also update your Java and shockwave
    sorry I can't be of more help

  • Some images won't load in Safari, iTunes, iBooks and App Store

    Since my upgrade to Mavericks, some images on Safari, iTunes, iBooks and App Store wont load some times. I can't figure out the source of problem, but I've tested all four apps and the same problem exists across all of them; I've also tested Chrome, Firefox and Opera to see if they are suffering from the same problem, and surprisingly enough I've found that they are not; They load images perfectly well, and I've never encountered one to not load images. I'm totally confused and frustrated, what is preventing Apple products to load images? Here are some screenshots:

    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

  • Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac".  I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

  • TS3274 Images of the apps in App Store not showing plus images in some apps

    The images of the app in the App Store not loading and images in apps that are already loaded not showing, the text and everything else is fine only the images are not loading..?

    Hi, Pepe6. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would recommend closing all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Test the App Store after processing these steps.

  • IPhone 6 Pixelated images on instagram, pinterest and the icons on the app store

  • Mobile app missing images only after packaging for App Store?

    This is general, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problems, as it's happened to 2 different apps I recently posted to the app store.
    Basically, the apps worked in the simulators fine, I intalled and tested on 10 different iphones, and it works fine. When I packaged up the app, and downloaded from the app store after approval there were various missing images. For example, 3 images on a page with 6 png would be missing. They weren't loaded any differently.
    So I rechecked the app in flex simulators, worked fine, installed on phones, worked fine. I could not replicate problem anywhere. I randomly just resaved out a few images and that 'appears' to have worked. So when my next app was exhibiting the exact same behaviour, i 'resaved' out the broken images and a few were fixed, but a few are still broken.
    This is just so strange, since I can't replicate the issue anywhere except after downloading from the app store.
    Anyone else having similar issues?
    thanks

    Make sure your paths are *NIX compatible. Things like incorrect case or spaces in the file name will work just fine in the emulator, but fail on the device.
    Are you saying the images work when installed on the device using a provisioning profile, but that very same app doesn't work when downloaded from the app store? If that's the case, the problem is probably in your build settings (IE. not including all the asset files, etc.)

  • Available in Mac App Store, Image?

    Hi, I write reviews on my blog (vardox.com) and was wondering if there was an image similar to the "Available on app store" image for the mobile app store. I am looking for this to have an easy way to link users to the product on the app store, after reading a product review on it, if they want to check it out. Thanks for your help!

    No sure exactly the image you are looking for.
    How about if you google +"Available on app store"+ and look at images?

  • Can I move images edited with the trial version to the version from the Mac App Store?

    I have been using the trial version of Aperture to determine if I like it. I am now ready to buy Aperture from the Mac App Store. Will my edited images be moved over to the licensed version automatically or what do I need to do to not loose my edits?
    Thanks for your help.
    Bob

    You will be able to open the trial library in the purchased application even if it doesn't happen automatically.

  • My Mac App Store has some images not showing... just a question mark.

    My App Store is not rendering some images... both in the general store and inside actual app description pages...
    Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
    I am on a new 2012 15" MB Pro.
    Here is a screenshot...

    Try restarting your Mac.
    I can see all the images on v10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
    If restarting doesn't help, try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
    Quit the App Store.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Try the App Store.

  • App Store: no images/screencaps

    Using iTunes 10.4, MBP
    I'm able to connect to the App Store, can see the text descriptions/reviews for apps -- but no screen images.  It's just a blank white area where they should be.
    Anyone else?  Is it perhaps related to launch day?
    Thanks,
    B

    An "upgrade" or an "update"... ?  There's a difference.
    Are you sure the purchases aren't, "hidden"?
    Login to your account. From the App Store menu bar click Store > View My Account
    In the Account Information window click:  View Hidden Purchases
    Have you tried updating from your Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update from the drop down menu?
    And make sure you are using the correct Apple ID and password you used to purchase the software with originally.

  • How to obtain a disk image (dmg) for an app from the App Store

    Is there anyway to obtain a disk image (dmg) for an app from the App Store?
    I need to obtain an dmg for a small App that is only available from the App store, but I need to put it on a Snow Leopard machine that does not have App Strore installed (and cannot be upgraded further).

    Any Mac with Snow Leopard can be updated to 10.6.8, which includes the MAS. Just download the 10.6.8 update combo and install it on that Mac.
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    You also do not need a dmg, just copy the app from one Mac to another. Unless the app has an installer MAS apps are simple drag & drop installation apps. If it has an installer drag & drop the installer and then run it on the Mac where you want the app.
    Most MAS apps require a minimum of Mac OS X 10.6, and many require 10.6.6, 10.6.7, or 10.6.8 to run.
