Unable to Load Purchased Apps in App Store for iPad 2 WIFI Only

what do I do. literally. I have tried every dang thing in the book. no lie. please help me y'all.

Thanks, I have no way to see my purchased apps. The only way would be with iTunes on my PC.
I presume ios 6.0.1 will fix this along with many other bugs.
This is a pity and I am amazed this was not tested along the way.

Macbook pro6,2 unable to connect to app store for software update

Purchased a used macbook pro6,2. When I ask the macbook to update software, the can't connect on app store page comes up. I can connect to iTunes.

Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

I have been unable to access the App Store for two days. Anyone else experiencing this and what am I doing wrong?

Missing App Store on iPad 2 WIFI with Update iOS 8.0.2

Hello, I've a very interesting issue which non of you have ever heard of.
I was excited about iOS 8 update since it announced and when I had a chance to hands on, I didnt think for second and made an update. Sadly each and every updates gets worsen on my iPad 2.
Currently I'm on iOS 8.0.2 which has no App Store! I mean literally. How may I update to any apps or even download any if there isn't any app store??
Also running on A5 chip with 512mb RAM, iOS makers, what have thought before making it official that iPad 2 will get iOS 8 update. My iPad is running like ****, can't do multitasking any more. FaceTime app crashes or hang while changing camera. Lots of lag. I mean at least provide a way to restore to previous OS where customer feel safe n sound.

Massively frustrating. I seem to have tried EVERYTHING in the WiFi troubleshooters, changed lots of router settings too in frustration, removed Keychain, removed FindMyipad, disabled location services wifi, disabled cellular data - all to no effect whatsoever. This is ridiculous as the iPad is unusable, having to power-off reboot every few minutes. Any web page with a video plugin kills the wifi stone dead Immediately.
ive done 2 recovery mode restores - setup as new device each time- useless.
Even tried 2 completely different routers!
All for what's pretty obviously just an IOS bug

What is the Best Offline gps app for ipad 2 ( wifi ) ?

Hi
i just want to know what is the best offline gps app for ipad 2 wifi only ?
specially for ( Malaysia and UAE ) ? and thanks

I used my wifi only pad in Ireland and uk, and as pointed out, the wifi has no gps.
I bought a 'bad elf' external receiver. Worked fine, is small, and idiot proof.
Then you need a map set. There are a lot of choices, I ended up using' offmaps', and bought the 'unlimited, and it was fine.   No point to point directions, but you can find where you are trying to go and the maps themselves were accurate and up to date.   Note, that may vary as you get around the world.
The elf cost 100, and the unlimited maps was, I think, $5.00.
The option was to simply buy a local garmin or Tom Tom when you get there.   As a gizmo guy, I went the elf approach.
The only downside of the elf is that it is so small, it is easy to lose it in a pocket or backpack.

Ipad 3/iphone 4s crashing when loading purchased apps from app store

Every since OS 6 my ipad 3 and iphone 4s crash when trying to load purchased apps from the app store. This has never been addressed by Apple other than them saying 'they are aware of the issue'.
After trying every conceivable suggestion from this board, nothing works. I don't think Apple will ever fix this since so few are affected.
Just wondering if anyone ever found a way to get this to work.

Can you download the games in iTunes on your computer?
Do you have any restrictions set up in Settings/General/Restrictions that prevent you from installing apps or certain apps?

I am unable to update my App store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.Many a times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like Face book etc....Using ! phone 6plus .IOS8.3

What do you mean by 'refusing from the system', if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is and if you are getting a 'declined' message then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If when trying to download you are getting a message about a 'problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase. If that is the case then you won't be able to download anything else (including app updates) until you've paid off what you owe : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
If you aren't getting the 'problem with a previous purchase' message then try logging into your account (not when trying to download something) and see if you get the 'none' option so that you can remove the card's details and be able to download updates to your apps : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

Unable to update apps through App Store on iPad mini: App Store says that 'All Apps are up to date'

OK, so basically I've been having this problem where I'm unable to update the apps on my iPad through the App Store. The badge icon of the App Store displays a number 8, which should mean that there are 8 apps with updates, however, upon opening the App Store and going to the 'Updates' section, my iPad tells me that 'All apps are up to date', which is both frustrating and confusing.
I have tried:
- Closing the App Store and removing it from the App Switcher
- Rebooting the device
- Logging out and then back in with my Apple ID
Also, I read elsewhere to try and individually update the apps by going to the 'Purchased' section, however this did not solve anything as none of the apps shown had an 'update' button next to them.
If anyone can offer any help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I should have mentioned before- I have been using my iPad without a computer and I haven't got access to one for a while. I was under the impression that when Apple released iOS 5, it was possible to use their devices completely independent of a computer. Hence, every device running iOS 5 or later should be usable And fully functional without a computer.
Is there any way to fix this without a computer?

Hello there, Tag2011.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up great information on the process of downloading a previous purchase:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Particularly useful in your instance:
Before you begin
Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase.
See which Apple ID you used to download an item.
See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store. If you changed your Apple ID from one country to another, you can’t download items you purchased in a previous country.
and then to download again:
Apps
Tap App Store.
If you're using an iPhone or iPod touch, tap Updates, then tap Purchased.
If you're using an iPad, tap Purchased.
Find the item that you want to download.
Tap the Download icon. After the app downloads, you can open it from the Home screen.
If you can't find the item that you purchased in the iTunes Store, report a problem with the item. You can report a problem with a purchase made within the last 90 days.
If you have a problem with an older purchase, contact iTunes Store support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I purchased a free app from app store for iPhone 5 and it will not download; just gives me the little cloud with arrow pointing down. I have version 7.1.2 What do I do?

I purchased a free app from App Store for my iPhone 5s, iOS version 7.1.2. It will not download; just gives me the little cloud with arrow pointing down. What do I need to do to get the app to load?

Hello mjhardy,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error while downloading apps. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,
BobbyD

Unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7

I tried all the solution which been offered from apple support but i still unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7. Please show me what to do =(

Are you trying to transfer apps to Windows 7 to USE them on Windows 7, or to back up your iPhone? iPhone apps will not run on Windows (OR Mac OS X); they only run on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
To back up your iPhone, connect the phone to your computer using the cable that came with the phone and a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub. Do not sync.
Check the account you have on your iPhone by going to Settings/Store. Make sure you are logged in to this same account on your computer, and that the computer is Authorized to this account (check the Store menu).
Go to the File Menu in iTunes and choose "Transfer Purchases".
If you have a problem with any of these steps please let us know exactly what the problem is.
