What happened to the iphone's own itunes appstore ? ?

Under iOS 5, there is no more proper itunes appstore icon present, it's now integrated inside of the new Music ( ex iPod ) app, through the top [Store] Button.
Works for my friends who updated their 3GS and 4 models, they get a newly designed access to the music store platform.
As for me, not that lucky ........ On my 3GS the button is also present and clickable, but nothing happens here.
Compared all the Settings with those other installs, nothing different, mystery .....
Any suggestions from whoever noticed this change of paradigme ? ( None of my friends & colleagues ever noticed the elimination of the iTunes app icon, I might be in a minority of people buying from time to time music directly on the phone, haven't seen any iOS 5 related articles mentioniong this "novelty" )

I know about the "separation" of duties concerning music and vidoe libraries, the point is that the itunes icon does no longer exist with iOS5, checked it with all my friends devices.
The "integrated" Store access inside of the Music Library works for everyone except for me, checked all my restrictions, but none apply to this case. my account is present and I'm authorized.
Just seems to be a bug.
Going to wait for the next update then, since there is no easy way to force a new install of iOS 5.

    What happened to the sidebar view in iTunes 12.0?

    "Switch to Songs view.  Everything will be much clearer"
    I have no use for Songs view.  I always use Albums view (personal preference  - I think of my library as a collection of albums, not of songs), but never had any problem at all with the use of the top-left icons in iTunes 12.  Indeed, I much prefer the iTunes 12 version of the sidebar - ironically, for the reason that some seem to object to it: it doesn't clutter up a standardized listing of my library content with device-related information, and does not change if I connect an iDevice.  In general, the only interaction I need at the device level is the Eject function - all content syncing is controlled through playlists associated with each device I use (which, of course, are visible and can be modified whether a device is connected or not).  I only need to see the details of a device on the rare occasions I want to make a change to its behavior with respect to synchronization.

  • What happened to the power search in itunes?

    What happened to the power search in itunes?

    Why? Indeed, is a very good question. Why take the most useful tool for finding music and bury it (in the case of version 10) or eliminate it (if you upgrade to version 11).   I think ignorance is too generous an answer to this question.
    Rather, I believe this is a cynical marketing ploy to steer you into buying WHAT THEY SUGGEST, instead of WHAT YOU REALLY WANT.  Most vendors would be content to just advertise their suggestions, which you can pass by if you really know what you want. But for I-Tunes to willfully take away your ability to go directly to what you want is a sad insult to the buying public.
    Also, they probably feel that power search is too effective in revealing what I-Tunes DOESN'T have available.
    By all means, follow the advice given above - provide I-Tunes with the feedback that is sorely due.

    What happens when the iPhone needs an activation and it doesn't respond? Then it asks me to restore it but due to an unknown error (-1) the iPhone can't be restored.

    Thank you for your response. However, I have done that plenty of times and each time I try to restore my phone, it extracts the software and then when it says restoring with the loading bar, an error message comes up saying an unknown error has occurred.

  • HT4113 what happens after the iphone is at iphone disabled wait 60 mins

    what happens after the iphone is at disabled wait 60 mins

    Apple will continue to have service replacements for the iPhone 5 for a long time to come. So if you go to Apple for an exchange, you'll get the same model of iPhone that you turn in. You will not get a 5C.
    As to the price change, there may be nothing to be done, but if you wanted to get the iPhone replaced  but that the Genius could not or would not do the replacement at that time,  talk to the manager of the Apple Store, explain that you were in and reported the problem before the price increase but could not get a replacement then. Perhaps they'll be able to do something for you. If it was your choice not to replace the iPhone, though, then you're probably stuck, just as with any product price increase when you previously elected not to purchase.
    Regards.

  • What happened to the "options" button in iTunes 5?

    Hello -
    I just upgraded from a 4G 20G to a 60GB. Now I want iTunes to not transfer unchecked songs.
    What happened to the options button that used to reside at the bottom of iTunes? And where do I control iTunes to not transfer unchecked songs?
    Thanks in advance.

    Nevermind, I finally found the tab. Silly Apple...

  • What happens when the iphone app won't open on iphone 4?

    what happens when the phone does not open and automatically shuts down the phone?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • What happened to the AIFF conversion in iTunes?

    We have always converted mp3 files after getting a song from iTunes to AIFF files in order to use them in Final Cut.  Under the "Advanced" tab in iTunes there is a drop down for "Creat AIFF File".  Now, that seems to be gone and there is only a selection for "Create an AAC file".  What happened to AIFF conversion?  If I convert to AAC, when I go to import the song to Final Cut, it is greyed out and won;t let me selevt AAC songs.  What happened?  Is this a change in the new OS "Upgrade?

    Under the "Advanced" tab in iTunes there is a drop down for "Creat AIFF File".  Now, that seems to be gone and there is only a selection for "Create an AAC file".
    That suggests that your Importing preferences are currently set to AAC rather than AIFF.
    If you adjust your importing preferences, do you get "Create AIFF version" back?

  • What happened to the iphone sleek design. Iphone 4 is ugly and boxy looking

    really blew it with the iphone 4gs design. It looks like every other phone now. Its ugly.What happend to the sleek beautiful iphone that we have all come to known.

    I think there are other brands that can do more than compete.
    Depends what you compare them against. If it is pure hardware technical specification, then yes, there are other phones on the market that exceed the technical specifications of almost every individual iPhone feature.
    However, Apple is not a purely hardware company. They spend at least as long, if not longer, on the software that runs on this hardware. And it is that combination of hardware and software that keeps Apple ahead.
    What's the point in the most technologically advanced phone ever made, if the software to use it (user interface and operating system) is an absolute pig to use.
    I'm lucky that I get to see and play around with most new phones that come out, including all the so-called "iPhone Killers" from Sony Ericsson, Nokia, HTC etc. etc.
    So far, not one of them (despite having better technical specs in many cases) beats the iPhone in terms of the overall user experience - how easy, intuitive, seamless, slick and just plain enjoyable - the phones are to use.
    The Sony Ericsson Xperia phones look great on paper and in the hand, but they are so annoying to use!! Unintuitive, sluggish, clunky. It's almost as though the software that runs these great bits of hardware is an afterthought, just done in the last few weeks before sale.

  • I heard this is what happened to the Iphone 4s

    Apple did not expect Sprint to be as popular as it is and did not make enough units. The units they did make Sprint dibs'd and basically screwed Best Buy, Radioshack, Car Toys, places like that. I don't know who to blame. Best buy should not take pre-orders on something they may not get. Apple should have had a closer guess, and you can't blame sprint for wanting to make there customers happy.
    If this is true, BestBuy needs to take 90% blame for allowing preorders on units that were not confirmed and Apple gets 10% for just being stupid.

    I have read on these forums by people that have called Sprint Corp  (2 differnt people have said this) That Best Buy was not a retailer that was supposed to be included in the Launch of the iphone 4s (1 person said that BB was not supposed to do pre sales of sprint phones).
    Another person had said that a BB GM had told them that Sprint pulled the trucks back from BB. And since BB refuses a statement we can only guess as to what is correct.
    Another person said when they called BB customer relations that she had seen alot of iphones at the warehouse, and could not figure out the Sku # , and could not figure out why they were sitting there and not out to stores.
    So if you put those pieces together one could Assume That on about 10/'7/2011Sprint was getting ready or had already shipped out some phones to Best Buy warehouse, Then Best buy started advertising about the pre-sales of the I phones, Sprint got wind of it and possibly stopped best buy from selling the iphones since they were not supposed to. So Best Buy could have gotten caught doing something they shouldn't. This is why you could pre-order from Sprint & Apple and get the phone on release day.
    If any of this is true could all be rumor, nobody knows. I have read on the net that apple has been peeved a couple times with Best Buy leaking information & documents. We will see where it all goes could be in the middle of a pi$$ing match between Sprint, Apple and Best Buy- All I know is nobody is posting a statement that explains all this mess.

  • What happened to the iPhone Configuration Utility?

    There used to be about five different versions of the iPhone Configuration Utility available on the apple.com site.  Now there is only one and it's just a MAC install.  Anyone know where the Windows installs went?

  • What happens if the iPhone 5 is 4G LTE?

    Does anyone know if the 3G network will ultimately be phased-out? Purchasing another iPhone 4S, just hope it won't be obsolete in the near future if the iPhone 5 is 4G LTE or Verizon pulls another fast one on customers and no longer wants to support 3G service.

    some day 3g will be obsolete.....but not any time in the next few years. the iphone5 will likely be like the rest of the LTE devices that are out now. it will be able to utilize LTE where it's available, but will also have 3g ability. there are WAY too many 3g devices out there and way to few LTE markets to get rid of 3g any time in the next few years.
    verizon is currently phasing out "3g only" devices. they want every phone to be LTE capable......they will all still be 3g capable as well.
