Where is App store genius in iOS 8?

I switched from an iPod 2G with iOS 4.2.1 to a 5G with iOS 8. I can't find the genius function in the App store any more. Was it removed?

Why is it showing up as an option in settings under Photos & Camera?

  • App Store Genius in iOS 6 on iPad - does it still show iPad version of apps?

    I've used the App Store Genius feature on an iPad that indicates when an iPad version of an installed app is available.  The concept, in detail, is that if you have copied or downloaded an iPhone version of an app onto your iPad, this Genius feature lets you know if an iPad-specific version of the same app is available.  This feature can obviously be quite handy for someone with both an iPhone and iPad who keeps largely the same apps on each. 
    I just updated to iOS 6, and I can no longer locate his feature within the App Store on an iPad.  (I am using an iPad 2, specifically, though I don't see think should matter for this issue.)  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Yeah. I think one thing I used to like about Apple's App store over android google play store is that browsing by release date, I can discover some surprises. Top Paid and Top Free are often the big names or the cookie-mold free-to-play timesinks and they often stay there for a very long time. Please bring back the release date tab!

  • App Store Genius only on iPhone (not desktop) ???

    Why is the genius feature for the app store not accessible from my laptop running itunes?
    you would think that this would be the other way around... usually the mobile device is missing some features of the desktop.
    all in all i like the new version of itunes on the phone & the mac. i especially like the new genius features for music and applications. i think it will help tremendously in sorting through all of the garbage on the app store. considering it was so hard to find good content unless it was on the top 25 or featured pages. and even at that, on the top of the list recently was complete crap like I AM TPAIN are you kidding me? camera genius? camera zoom? finger security? really? i know i'm taking this a little far and it's definitely an OT rant but it just illustrates my point that GENIUS needs to be available on the desktop itunes.
    please help by submitting your feedback to apple & get the app store genius available on the desktop version of itunes as well!

  • I have an old iPhone 3 gs. with ios 3.1.3. how can i update it to at least an ios 5 because it will not let me get games on the app store because the ios is so low.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

  • Bug in app store, genius tab

    Hello,
    I've erased my iPad recently, a couple of times. I do initial configs, enable "genius" on the app store, and I can never scroll while on "genius". It works fine on featured, top chards, etc. Just on "genius" it gets locked and no scroll happens.
    iPad 2, 16 wifi, iOS 6.1.3
    Anyone get the same behaviour?

    Find whatever apps your purchased under that Apple ID, and remove them from your system. Dragging to Trash is pretty much all you'll have to do.

  • Can you drop iOS 4 support for an app already in the App Store? What iOS version is good to target?

    Now that AIR supports the MinimumOSVersion key, apps can set a specific minium version they will support. It wasn't available before, so it ended up in the app store with the default of 4.0.
    Any device that AIR supported had to have ARMv7 anyways and I believe all ARMv7 iOS devices can update to at least 5.1.1, so would it be an issue with apple to drop iOS 4 support? Any device that could get the app before can upgrade to iOS 5+ for free to support it.
    Only a small portion of people are still running iOS 4, and I get the feeling that most of those are folks with ancient ARMv6 devices that can't upgrade past iOS 4 and could never use the app anyways due to ARMv6. So why bother with testing for iOS 4 and possibly having to give iOS 4 related tech support?
    If supporting 5+, is it a good idea to target 5.0 or 5.0.1 or 5.1 or 5.1.1 or what?

    Any of the non-user generated resources is in the tmp or Cache folders (which are not backed up) on mine, so that shouldn't be an issue in my case.
    I looked at the wiki for iOS 5 and i didn't see any developer-related features other than that 'do not back up' thing that were added between sub-versions of iOS 5, so maybe I should target 5.0?
    I'm still wondering, how do you handle dropping older versions of iOS? Surly developers can't be expected to maintain support for discontinued versions of iOS forever just because their app has been around for awhile? Apps eventually need to advance and use new OS features and require performance of current devices. Just set the MinimumOSVersion key to 5.0 or whatever and that's it?

  • Where is app store app forum?

    there is a forum for the mac app store but not the ios app store?!
    this is for the app store app ...Not the iphoto app but there is no forum for app store app.
    reason a write this is because i talked with apple about this several times with no help.
    last we talked I adressed them problem with in app purchase option not being showed in app store. I was promised a callback next week but never got that call back.
    The case id is: 700565204

    First, supplying a case number does not help in these Communities since we are all fellow users and not Apple employees...Apple is not participating in these discussions.
    There is not an iOS-specific app store discussion area, so bringing up the topic in the iOS forum would be appropriate.

  • Where is App Store?

    Hi,
    I cant seem to find the APP store in iTunes. I downloaded iTunes 7.7 but still cant seem to find it. Is it out in U.S? If so, where do you find it?
    Thanks for the help,
    Kevin

    hello,
    you can also visit the itunes store and click on the first badge on top or use the app store link in the left menu..
    as soon as you download an app from the app store, the application button in itunes will appear automatically.
    cheers, andi

  • Where is apps store toolbar

    When i go to the apps store on my iphone, it takes me to the search page.  How do I get back to the main page with the browser toolbar at the bottom where I can choose category, games, productivity, etc. ? 

    So, you can't see the toolbar at the bottom?  Can you post a screenshot of what you see?
    Assuming no toolbar, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • HT4623 Many Apps on the App Store now require iOS 7 so us using iPod touch 4G with iOS 6.1.5 now can't download certain apps.so the question is that will the Apple team update devices using 6.1.5 to iOS 7????

    When will Apple update ipod 4th gen from ios 6.1.5 to ios 7

    No.
    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
    If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • My iPod Touch (4th G) - Where's App Store App?

    I just bought this for my son and neither Messages nor App Store apps were there. I just updated to 5.0.1 and, after working for about 30 mins last night "organizing" apps on specific pages for my son, the apps are now where Apple/iTunes wants to put it. The Message app is now there, but not the App Store one. Any ideas?

    Hi jtcollins,
    Try going to the main Home Screen and swiping left to right to start the Spotlight feature. Type "App Store" into the search box and it should come up.
    If it's missing, you may have accidentally enabled Parental Controls. To turn those off, go to Settings > General > Restrictions and turn them off.
    Hope this helps,
    O.C.

  • App Store Genius - iTunes cannot process this request, try again later

    Pretty much as above, using an iPhone 4 16GB, I go on the app store on wifi and it gives the above message. What can I do to get genius working?
    Thanks,
    Fred

    I have had the same error message on my iphone4 since I bought it 3 weeks ago. I have done Restore, reset and rebooted the phone but no luck. 4 of my colleagues with iphone4 are having the same problem at my work.
    Most probably its a bug that Apple wants to keep quiet about. Apple will take some action if all of us report this error using the link(hopefully!!!):

  • App Store Genius problem

    Hi,
    when I want to turn on the Genius in the Store Aplication, I get an error Message which says that iTunes could not work with my entry (It's a German error message so I tried to translate into English).
    Anyone else with that problem?
