Phone looks to US itunes & app store but PC looks to UK, help??
Hi. I hope you can assist me. My iphone is looking to the USA for both App Store and also Itunes. And I am in the UK! This is despite my taking a number of steps to rectify this;
1. Ensuring the frontpage of my itunes store on the pc shows UK store.
2. Checking the apple account information on itunes on my pc is showing GBR.
3. Visiting my o2 store seeking assistance.
4. Contacting Apple Care who say they can offer no more as they have ensured I have tried everything they can offer and suggested contacting Apple Support Discussions or visiting an Apple Store
4. Downloading current itunes software to pc - 8.02.20
5. Syncing my iphone a number of times even after all the suggested changes.
Both myself, the o2 store and apple care are now at a loss as to what to do next to rectify my problem, as I am unable to download anything from either app store or itunes from my iphone as I am not a USA user. And anything I download on my pc itunes will not sync to my phone I am guessing because of country confusion.
I am stuck now with knowing what to do next and would like to be able to use both facilities as other iphone users.
Can anyone suggest any help please?
I'm just trying to confirm where you said at the start that you confirmed you were on the UK store and that iTunes was showing GBR because there are some 'peculiarities' with some PCs/operating environments where 'browsing' takes you to one place while doing anything 'practical' or 'machine-active' takes you to another. Rare, maybe, but when you, O2 and Applecare have checked the 'obvious' then I thought that it might be worth a check.
When you double-click the shortcut what you see is Internet Explorer, yes? If so, do you see the URL of the page that opens? If not, do you see a Menu bar with 'File' on it? If so, when you click on 'File' and then select 'Properties', what URL is shown (in the 'Address' field)?
Sorry to be a pain!

The setting "use touch ID for iTunes & App Store" isn't turning on..help?
please help i'm new to ios7 and im very confused
Have you first gone to Settings > iTunes and App Store to ensure that you are signed into iTunes with your Apple ID? The following quote is from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
If you haven't already, ensure that iTunes & App Store is enabled in Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID. If you can't enable this setting, ensure that your Apple ID is signed in under Settings > iTunes & App Store. -

Hi izzy212,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Sorry to hear you are having some initial issues getting started with the Mac App Store with your new computer. Let's try a few things:
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.
3) Open the iTunes application and review / update your account. From the menu bar, choose the Store > View Account command
4) Click on the App Store icon on your dock and download a free app

Just got my new phone - tried to download from app store and screen has frozen. Help?
Just got my new iphone and tried to download Angry Birds from the app store. BUT screen has frozen. Any suggestions?
Reset the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

To verify that you have it, go to the search screen (leftmost screen) and enter Pandora. If it shows up, you have it. Then search through each screen and inside each folder.

HT5552 Using PayPal for iTunes/App Store
I try to select PayPal as my payment option for iTunes/App Store, but when I select the PayPal icon and click the "continue" button, as directed, nothing happens. Why can I not select PayPal? All of my payment information is stored in PayPal, and I would like to keep it that way.
Thanks for the pointer Lesnes.
Unfortunately I am unable to create an itunes account as part of the process for doing so asks for my bank or cc details which I am not happy to provide.
I received an email from Apple support last night with the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
The link does not take into account that I already have an apple ID so instead of being able to follow all the steps I get asked to log in and review and this goes to a page requesting billing info with no 'None' or Paypal options. -

I was using my iPhone and 'lost' an app. I restored my phone from an earlier backup, but now can't see some of my apps. They are shown as being on the phone in both iTunes and the app store, but clearly aren't on the phone.

i have an app update on my phone through the app store, but i dont have that app and when i hit update it says the item is no longer available for sale,, but i cannot get rid of the little 1 at the corner of the app store app,, how can i get rid of it,, i have iphone 5
You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test. -

If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when connected - not available under Devices in the iTunes source list, check this link.

Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
