Websites open the Appstore - Guide Needed

I ran across this from 9to5 Mac - http://9to5mac.com/2015/03/18/safari-app-store-redirect/#more-370337
On that post, it shows how many well known sites and ads make it nearly impossible to use the page due to the ads.
Yes this is a nuisance and Apple does need to fix it, which means we need much more feedback generated about it.
Also is it time to make an FAQ that hits on the keywords with the iPhone: Advertisement, hacked, appstore, redirect, etc.

This is not something that Apple can fix as it is in the coding of the website. You need to complain to the webmasters that either their ads or their web code is hijacking your phone into the App Store. Apple can't do anything about it. I've seen this happen too and it's poor design by the site or ads hijacking.

    I have a new ipad and everything works but can't connect to the app store. Itunes works and the wifi seems to be working but i get a blank white screen when i open the appstore. Nothing will load unter the features or charts tab so i cant download any apps. Purchased and updates tab loads fine. Any suggestions?

    You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.

    Go to the App Store, sign out and then sign back in with your Apple ID and password.

  • Often with 2 or 3 tabs/websites open, the tab does not have the X on the right side to close it. I have to right clock and hit Close Tab. Seems random. How can I assure all tabs have the X?

    Sometimes when I have 2 or more websites open, the tabs for them do not have the"X" on the right end that I can click to close them. Others right next to it may have the X or not - it seems random. The only way to close the x-less tabs is to right click and select Close tab. How do I tweak it so there are always X's? The only relevant add-on I can think of is Colorful Tabs, and I have the latest version of it.

    If you are not new to browsers, you would probably prefer the single "X" at the far right of the tabs bar to close the active tab, but in any case your choices are described for the configuration option of '''browser.tabs.closeButtons''', see

  • What were the suggested apps to install the first time you open the AppStore?

    I just got a new ipad...never used one before so please bear with me. I just want to ask...what were the list of suggested apps to install that popped up the very first time you open the appstore? It was maybe four or five apps that was listed. One of them was iBook I think and an app to find your ipad...I don't remember the rest. Does anyone remember or knows the list? Thanks!

    Any body suffering leggsness while opening the appstore and game center  from mnimaze center...... In ipad mini pls sort me out and tell me ......it will be improve after the update to ios 7.0.3

    There have been issues with the app store and with game center. And they all seem to be on Apple's end. I'd wait for the next update and see if that helps.

  • Since I updated to Maverick, why is it that I cannot open the AppStore or Updates?

    I am very frustrated. I had my husband do fresh install and once I download Adobe Reader and the Installer, then I cannot go into the AppStore or Updates.
    All this started since I use Maverick. I tried to go back to Mountain Lion which I purchased, but I cannot do that either. I am not that computer saavy and don't quite know all the terminology, so please answer in laymen's terms.
    Thanks.

    You shouldn't post your e-mail address in a public forum. I've asked the hosts to remove it.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

    Hello lberle
    Check to see if you are up to date on iOS by going to Settings > General > Software Update and update it if it needs it. Then update Pages one that is done by going to the App Store.

  • When i try to load certain page, the system crashed and the bottom panel states " stopped" but when I close and open firefox again,it can't and I get this message that says my firefox is still running and to open the browser i need to restart the compu

    while browsing suddenly the system crashed and the bottom panel says " stopped".When closed and re-opened, I got a prompt that says firefox is still running and i have to close to open again or have to restart the computer but it doesn't work
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == just happened

    You get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.
    Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)
    Find your profile folder
    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).
    Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say?

  • IPhoto broken - Empty window when I open the application - Help needed

    Hi Guys,
    Since my upgrade to Snow Leopard my iPhoto 09 has been completely broken. What I get when I start it up is an empty window. No pictures on the right pane and no menus on the left pane. I read many threads about iPhoto issues, and so I have tried to rebuild the library, reinstall iPhoto from the disk I got with my mac. Still the same problem: On startup, iPhoto opens with a completely blank window. All I have are the three buttons at the bottom left side of the window (+, info and enlarge). Only if I click "+" to add a new album the menus on the left pane (events, photos...) appear. A few clicks on these menus and iPhoto crashes. All this, done with a new, clean library. I moved the old one, and keep it for the day I'll get iPhoto to work again. Hope you guys can help. This is painfully frustrating.

    Thanks for help Terrence
    I am using Suitcase Fusion 2 and just activitating Helvetica Neue in Suitcase seemed to fix this problem I have had for several months.
    I highly recommend doing the activation in Suitcase instead of just droping it into the System Fonts folder. This will allow for Suitcase to activate or deactivate the font. If you put the font into one of your folders, Suitcase can not deactivate, which might be necessary if your job uses a different version of Helvetica Neue.

  • Can't Update Apps from the Appstore

    I have all the latest OS updates for my macbook pro and it seems like I can't update my apps that I have downloaded from the appstore.  I have logged into the appstore and iTunes and also have made sure the information in the account are correct and up to date.  When I open the appstore I click on updates and it says, "All Apps Are Up to Date" but when I click on "Purchased," it clearly shows that there are updates available.  When I click on update it says that I need to be signed in in-order to update the apps.  I AM signed into the appstore and iTunes.  What is going on here?  I tried emailing support for Apple and they couldn't even help me.  I know there are people having the same issues.  Can someone point me to the right direction or have any advices to fix this issue?  Its very annoying unistalling an app and to reinstall just to update it.  Thank you in advance.

    I had just posted a thread regarding a similar issue, except it's attempting to "load" all of my apps again. This includes loading old apps that were previously deleted off my iphone. It's annoying. I can't even access these apps to delete them. This renders my phone useless...

    You need a third party app. Take a look at some of these on this Google page.
