Why can't I use the App store?

Hi I just bought an IPAD4 days ago, however I found I can not use the App store. Every time I click App store, it shows the blank page of the 'purchased', and all the other icons on this page did not work. Please let me know what I should do. Thanks.

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
In the meantime ...........

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • TS1702 after upgrading to ios 6 i can  no longer use the app store.

    after upgrading to ios 6 i can  no longer use the app store on my iPhone, i am unable to install new apps. i chose to fill out the security questions and the problem seems to occur since then. what could be a solution to get the app store working again??

    i just contacted apple support and the solution is the following!!!!!
    connect the iphone to your computer  and open itunes
    then click on itunes store at the left side of the screen
    then click at the right top side of your itunes screen on your email address (or id that is displayed there in the black bar)
    choose log out
    then go to the top of the screen with the search option in itunes where you can search in the store and choose an app that you have not yet installed.
    then you get the security questions also in itunes, fill the them out and after you have done that you are asked to log in again
    now when you install an app that works (it is then on your computer still)
    open the app store on your iphone and choose the updates button and install the app from the cloud
    now when you install new apps also from the app store on your iphone it works again!!! and you are no longer asked about the security questions
    (the other option they told me (that i did not have to use)  is: go to settings/general/ all the way at the bottom of the screen choose make new settings restore networksettings and choose yes)

  • Why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8

    why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8
    Just purchased OS X Mountain Lion but in order to down load I have to have the App Store App on my Mac. Please help.

    10.6.6 was the 1st to support the App Store, 10.6.8 is actually needed now as a minimum.
    Install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.(10.9/Mavericks is the only download available now without specially calling Apple).
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

  • Why can't i access the app store with snow leopard

    I just installed Snow Leopard on my girlfriend's Macbook 5,1 in hopes of updating it to Mountain Lion. I'm unable to use her Apple ID, nor mine, to access the App Store to upgrade. I've scowered search engines to find a fix, but to no avail. Anybody have any ideas as to how to resolve this issue?

    Hello:
    I do not know what you have tried, but try this:
    Click accounts in the quick links section.  You should be able to set things upo from there.

  • Why Can't I Access the App Store in iOS 6?

    I've been trying to use Passbook ever since I installed iOS6 today with no luck. Whenever I tap the "App Store" button in Passbook, it opens the store and I get a "Cannot connect to iTunes" message. (see image.)
    But if I open iTunes on it's own, it works just fine. No one else is complaining!Am I doing something wrong?

    I am having the same problem, but I think I might know what's causing it.  I just updated my girlfriend's iPhone 4S (same phone as mine) to iOS 6 and was surprised to find that her app store is working just fine.  When I opened hers, however, I did notice that the "Categories" and "Top 25" buttons are totally different; and those happen to be the two buttons that are not working for me.  Mine shows the same that yours does, while hers has the "Genius" and "Charts" buttons in the place of the two that are not functioning for me.  I believe these old buttons are no longer active and therefor are bombing out when attempting to access them.
    Now I said I think I may understand the problem, but unfortunately I have no idea what the solution may be.  Hopefully this tread doesn't fade away and our problem gets addressed.

  • Why can I not access the app store on itunes?

    How come when I attempt to access the app store on itunes, It attempts to load and then gives me a blank white screen?
    Everything else seems to work fine, its just the app section.
    I am using the latest version of Itunes on a mac.

    You need to update the iOS. Go here to get the last update for your 1G iPod
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Not that there are not that many apps compatible with 3.1.3.

  • Why can't one use the apps for the ipad on one's iMac?

    how come one cannot actually use the apps that one purchases (or gets for free) on one's desktop computer? For instance, I just paid for and downloaded a few apps for my iPad (using iTunes of course) but my wife has my iPad and she is out-of-town for a few days. Now I gotta wait (to use them & check them out) by waiting for her to get back, .... then i gotta sync it. Bah, ... humbug.

    i kinda knew the answer to that already... i am just like a kid at christmas, ... waiting, ... waiting.... waiting until my wife comes home and then i will say, ... "oh, it is so great to see you, i missed you" then give her a hug and a kiss and then say "where's the iPad, dear?".
