Why is my iPad redirecting itself to the App Store

why when I click on a newspaper story (opened on the web not app) does my iPad suddenly redirect to the App Store? I've just done the latest iOS update and this hasn't helped

Apple seems to be having issues. Just wait it out and come back in a bit. If the issue is indeed on their end, nothing you can do with your device can fix it.

Why are my iDevices redirecting me to the App Store?

I hope Apple will get on the bandwagon and help with this issue! When using my iDevices, say on a web site... or even in another application, certain ads seem to be automatically redirecting to the App Store... without any clicks or input from the user.
You'll be surfing the web... and it does seem to happen more on those ad heavy sites... and when the iDevice comes across one of the rogue ads, it just automatically redirects to the App Store showing whatever app the ad was showing.
You don't have to click anywhere, it just seems to HAPPEN.
I don't think the app owner is doing this, and the next statement is totally just MY thought, but I think the ad companies the app owners are hiring to market their apps are doing it.
But, I really hope that Apple takes notice, and decides to help get RID of this problem! It totally makes for a non-Apple experience... and reminds me of Android something feirce. None of us want that.... in fact, thats WHY we put up with (Even embrace) Apples closed-wall system... because things like this DON'T happen. Except, they are happening...
Seems like this has been going on for a few months. And its on up to date devices, including the new iPhones and iPads. Simply saying, its not on jailbroken devices... and, I've talked to MANY users that experience the same thing.
SO, Apple, will you help please? And other users experiencing this... take the time to reply to this post saying so. Apple has a great track record with these kinds of things, so I know that a fix will come... soon... if we all tell our experiences.
THANKS.

I will absolutely try this-- did you post this info because you KNOW it helps with THIS specific issue, or was it just general help info?
Either way it's worth a shot- but I'm wondering if this issue was noticeable by you and this is what fixed it... Or are you just an Apple whiz kid and posting info that MIGHT possibly or probably help?? Just clarification please.
Ultimately I would hope that apple does something specifically about this. Because amateur users surely won't know to do this. And, I'm really an apple power user, or so I think, and this issue has been plaguing my iOS devices.
Thanks. Your post has already been helpful. But, I won't say it's a fix just yet. And even if it is, can't or won't apple do something on their end so this doesn't even happen at all?
Again thanks!!

Why does my iPad reset itself all the time?

Why does my iPad reset itself all the time?

Hello!
The same happened to my yesterday night when I was charging my iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1. My first impression was that could it be and auto update (to install iOS 6.1.2) however I'm still on 6.1.
It erased ALL my info and shows the initial configuration wizard......this is totally a mega ***!!!!!!

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.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Finder > Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Cookies
Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Try the App Store.

My iPad cannot connect to the app store but my iPhone can, what do I need to do?

My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps but my iPhone4s can. They were both recently updated to ios6. Whats wrong with this thing?

So you are saying that after you updated several apps - now you cannot connect to the iTunes or App Stores?
"My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps"
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
Or try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
Or this ...
Reboot 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.

Why does everyone else on their school ipad have access to the App Store and basically anything they want? Why is it that I don't have access to any of that? How do I get access to that stuff?

Ok I don't know why in the world everyone else has access to the App Store and almost anything they want. Guess what I have access to? Yea that's right I have access to nothing that they have! I believe that their iPads are glitching and that might be how they got access to them! I hate how I don't have any access when I don't have access to anything that they have access to! They have almost no restrictions on their iPads and I have all the restrictions that the school sets!

I don't know if you're looking for us to offer a solution to you? We can't. If your school has set restrictions on your iPad, you need to discuss this with your school system admin.

Why can't I download anything from the App Store?

I tried downloading a free app from the apple App Store but I now get a message saying there was a problem taking payments and I have to update my credit card details. This is confusing as the app is free and I have never tried paying for an app without having the money in my bank to pay for it. Why does it now tell me I ended credit card details to install an app and why has the error occurred with my bank details?

Check to make sure your credit card details (like expire date, etc) are current.

Why cant i buy download anything from the app store after the new ios7 update?

Why cant I download anything from the app store after updating to the ios7.02 system?

Do you have a song or podcast in iTunes that did not finish downloading? If you do - finish that one first. The apps will not update until that download is complete.
If that doesn't do it - sign out of your account - Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign out. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and sign in again and see if you can tap on one app and start the download.

Why can't i find iBooks on the App store from my MacBook Air?

I have iBooks on my iPad and use it to store critical work PDF's. I went to the App store on my MacBook

This is why people use Amazon...
You can't use iBooks on a desktop. You may want to give the Kindle app a try.

Why can't I get updates from the app store

why can't I update my apps? It always ask for the password and then goes right back to update.

Try signing out of iTunes & App Store then signing back in.
Settings->iTunes & App Store. Tap on your Apple ID then select sign out
Restart your iPad
Now, open Settings->iTunes & App Store - sign back in.
See if you can update now.
if not try Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings
You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi networks again,
Hope this helps!

Why can't I sign in to the App Store app on my mac?

Is there anyone who can help me? I have OS 10.7.4 running on a Intel mac tower, I have an Apple account (that works fine for the iTune store, on my iPad), but when I click on the either of the links; Sign In, or Account in the App Store app on my mac nothing happens? I have also tried the same options in the menus but with the same result?
I had the same problem on Leopard, and bought Lion hopefully to fix the problem, but I still can't sign in...

To be honest - Apple did a miserable job in designing the user accounts on Apple Store, iTunes app profile, Apple ID profile and Apple discussion groups profile. You can't even change the password in discussion groups. You have to go through "forgot password" to reset it. I tried it once and never received the reset-email. Total misery.
Anyway, I had the same issue with not being able to sign into Apple Store app. In the end I resolved it by CLIKING on the PURCHASES button in iTunes, then it asked me for password and then I was able to make purchases etc..

Why isn't my review appearing in the App Store?

I've been trying to write (and re-submit, wondering if something went wrong in the process several times) a (scathing) review for Ulysses III for the past few weeks, and while I see new reviews appearing for the app and I'm able to submit (and edit) my reviews for other apps, it isn't working for this particular app. In fact, I was quite frustrated the first few times as I first ran into this problem while trying to edit a review that I wrote for it that I thought was properly posted only to be greeted with completely blank text boxes upon clicking "Write A Review." (Because of this, I've started the habit of copying/saving the reviews I write for apps. Very frustrating.)
Why isn't this working? I spent $45 on this app that does not handle large documents well and would like others to know that very badly so they don't do the same if they plan on writing manuscripts—which is, as I learned tonight (and thus was reminded about this whole thing), what this particular app is being advertised for in the App Store.
Please help.

Suggest you link with iTunes store support and ask what has happened.
Apple - Support - Topic Selection >>> Other iTunes store topics seems best.
