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.

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.

How can i play wordsplosion on my imac? The apps in the iTunes store are for iPad or iPhone.

How can i play wordsplosion on my imac? The apps in the iTunes store are for iPad or iPhone.

The Mac App Store has apps for Mac computers. The iTunes Store does not. You must be running 10.6.8 or later to access the App Store. The App Store is on your computer in the Applications folder and on the Dock.

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' ?

I some how deleted the safari app on my iphone as well as my app store and the itunes store app how do i get it back?

I some how deleted the safari app on my iphone as well as my app store and the itunes store app how do i get it back?

They are pre-installed apps and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved them onto a screen or into a folder. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the apps are still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find them on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Also check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure Safari, iTunes and Installing Apps and Deleting Apps are all ON.

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.

TS1424 I can't open the iTune store after I updated my iphone to iOS 7.

Hi there, could someone help me here please - I can't open the iTune store after I updated my iphone 4 to iOS 7. The problem occurred about 5 days later after the upgrade. There are no error messages. As I tap on the icon it opens just for a fraction of a moment and then goes off and back to the main screen. Other apps are working just fine. I tried following the troubleshooting steps as suggested by apple support, but that didn't help unfortunately...
Thank you

Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!

IPad iTunes Stores App Freezes due to large number of songs purchased?

The iTunes Store App on my iPad 4 freezes when I go to " purchases" on the lower right hand corner of the screen. The screen remains blank, with the twirling icon in the middle implying 'wait.' I wanted to avoid doing a "restore" to the whole iPad, as everything else on the iPad but this works fine. After several days back and forth emailing with with Apple iTunes support, the Tech concluded it was beyond his/her technical expertise, and gave me the phone # for Apple Cares. Initial diagnosis after my first call to them was that I needed to do a 'restore' to factory setting because Apple won't push through an update to their iTunes Store App. So, I backed up the iPad to my using iTunes on my my PC and to iCloud, then called back. This time I worked with a very pleasant Apple Rep who stayed with me on the phone for over an hour running diagnostic tests, trying different things like rebooting my iPad, unplugging and resetting my Wi-Fi modem (I used AT&T UVerse for Internet and had already had techs out checking that after the first call - no problem there), going to iTunes on my PC, and a number of other things. After conferring with a senior tech, the Apple Cares rep said they concluded it was due to the large amount of songs I've purchased. I don't think of myself as a large music purchaser, maybe 4 - 5 songs a week since I bought the iPad new a year ago. So, I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Apple Cares was not able to tell me how to move songs out of "purchases" or whatever the bucket might be called where purchases are listed to clear this out if in fact it is the large number of songs there actually causing the iTunes Stores App to freeze. This is not an essential function, but I use it when I want to find the names of recently downloaded songs to place purchases into playlists. (I know, I should be able to remember the names, artists, etc. of the music a I purchase, but alas, no!) The nearest Apple Store is about 180 miles round-trip, and I won't get there for about two weeks. Incidentally, recently added songs show normally in the iPad's Music library. If anyone else has experienced this, was it fixed? If so how?

No, the problem still exists. As far as I know, the Case Number is still open. I've just not had time to set aside a day to bring the iPad into an Apple Store yet. It's about a 3 hr round trip, plus there'd be time walking to the store (it's inside a mall), and then the time spent while the iPad is looked at and hopefully fixed. Ugh!

Is it true that After March 30, 2015, AOL will no longer support your ability to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store or did I just receive a phishing email?

I just received the following email.....Is this legit? Makes no sense.
Dear iTunes Customer,
Our records indicate that you have been using your AOL Username to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store.
After March 30, 2015, AOL will no longer support your ability to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. In order to continue using store features, including the ability to access your previously purchased content, you must transition from signing in with your AOL Username to signing in with an Apple ID.
To make this transition, simply sign in once more with your AOL Username to iTunes on your Mac or PC. You will automatically be taken through a few short steps to complete the process.
When the process is complete, your new Apple ID will allow you to continue to purchase and download music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, and more. Additionally, your Apple ID will allow you to access other Apple services, such as iCloud and the Apple Online Store.
This transition does not affect any AOL services you may be using with your AOL Username.
AOL Usernames which have not been transitioned to Apple ID will permanently lose access to the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store after March 30, 2015. Apple will be unable to provide support for AOL Usernames which are not transitioned by this date.
To learn more about this transition, visit support.apple.com/kb/HT204268.

The iTunes Store team

The link that appears in the copy in the OP does not go to an Apple site, it is something to the effect of newitunes.com, whereas the text tells you it is an Apple support document.
However, if you take the text of the support document listed, I put it in my browser and it does lead to a legit Apple Support document about coverting. Convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID - Apple Support Seems this needs to be done by March 31, 2015, as AOL will no longer allow users to use their AOL identification.

Download error when renting a movie off the iTunes store app

Hi, I tried to rent a movie off the iTunes store app today(I have rented before with no problems), but when it was in the processing stage it started saying Download error. Tap to retry. Now its taken up 1.3 gigs of space but it never finish processing so its not there. Very frustrating and i cant fix it.

Apple Tech support doesn't respond here. This is a user-to-user forum.
You can always restore your Touch to get the memory back. And as, of course, you have everything properly backed up (you do, right?), you can just reload when you're done. I don't know as there is a faster solution.
Best of luck.

I've turned my iPad off, then on again, I've logged out of iTunes, and logged back in, I've updated my credit card information, but nothing seems to be working. Is this a problem within the app?
