Why won't the App, iTunes and iBooks stores load on iPad?

Every time I tap on iTunes, App and iBooks stores on my iPad, it hows all the spaces where images should be but the spinning grey icon dosnt go away and just does that (see below). I've tried quitting the app in multitasking and doing a full restore, nothing works.

I wish I had something else that you could try, but the only thing that I can suggest now is to go throught this website suggestions ... Can't connect to the iTunes Store.

This is the very basic stuff in the first article, but it can link you to a bunch of other websites that get much deeper into the issue. It seems like you have to have certain ports open in order to access the Apple Stores. I'm not sure if that's your issue or not, but there is a plethora of things to read and try.
Maybe somebody else has another idea.

  • I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

    I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

    Wel your "answer" provides not only a bad comparison, but is disingenuous at its heart!
    Apple sold a product (8GB iPod Touch) that one could have assumed to be 3rd generation at the time of purchase (because that was what all the other models of iPod Touch were at the time). Then when ios 4.3 came out, we who purchased one of these units found out that the 8GB Touch was really a 2nd generation model, and it would not ever be updated beyond ios 4.2.1 (8C148). Since the version (4.2.1) is BUGGY, it would be in the best interest of Apple to at least provide a bug-fix update release for these units. It is not like we are asking for all the new features of ios 4.3, just fix the BUGS, please, Apple!

  • Why does all the apps - default and the ones I downloaded - shut down by themselves repeatedly?

    For the past few days, every single one of my apps seems to shut down by themselves, as soon as I try to open them. I can try to open them several times in a go but still the same thing. Even restarted my phone a few times and deleted the background app, which usually works...
    Also it doesn't save any of my photos or theres a plain grey 'picture' with 'JPEG' on it. Moreover, on my camera roll, when I tap a photo to enlarge it, none of them focuses, so all them are blurry. I can't seem to send messages either: that said I usually get all my notifications shown on my lock screen, but lately it doesn't show at all.
    Another thing, my phone keeps repeatedly buzzing when there is no notification - or email - shown either on the lock screen and/or home screen.
    Please help! I'm running out of options what to do!

    Your best bet is to back up your device to iCloud or iTunes, then reset your device to Factory Settings (Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Content & Settings, but do not restore it from the backup. Add your apps back onto your phone one at a time (download them from iTunes in the Cloud by tapping on the App Store icon, then on Updates>Purchased>All, then click on one or two apps and download them and see if the problem persists.
    Continue to download apps to see if you start running into the issue again at any point. If you are able to get all the apps downloaded and functioning without any issues, then reset the device back to factory settings, and then restore it from your backup, and see if the issues starts up again.
    If it does start up again, then there is something in your backup that is corrupted, and your best bet at that point is to "rebuild" your device from Factory Settings rather than to keep the backup on your device.

  • Why won't the "block cookies and other website data" setting work on Safari 7.0.2?

    Why doesn't the "block cookies and other website data" setting on Safari 7.0.2 work?  Everytime I try this setting, I still get cookies and other data that needs to be deleted from my computer.

    This has been the case for sometime.
    There is no effective way to block these cookies.
    Try this, may help.
    Safari > Preferences > Security > Cookies and other website data:
    Press "Remove All Other Website Data:'
    Do this twice.
    Select "Reset Safari" from Safari drop down menu.
    Select only "Reset all website data".
    Click "Reset".

  • Why won't the App Store open?

    I have a 2 month old iPad "3". Updated last weekend to OS6. At first everything worked fine. Then 4 days ago began having problems with Safari not opening pages unless I did reload. Then App Store won't open. Then iTunes wouldn't open either. Just white screen with spinner. Then message, Cannot connect to iTunes Store (which it says for both iTunes store & the App store). Yesterday App Store worked for about an hour, then was gone again. Today, completely gone. I can access it just fine on my iPod touch! Checked all settings. Time setting on automatic only gives me the spinner thing. Don't know if that's relevant. But all others Okay. Network okay, internet connection okay. Did restart, synced to my computer, still no iTunes or App store. Using Opera mini browser instead of Safari. I can't get the in-app purchase I made yesterday on my iPod - it won't open in iPad - still gives me the demo version. How am I going to use the app on the iPad? Very disappointed & worried.
    Anybody know anything about this?? HELP!!!

    Yes I am = I am having the very same problem.
    I synced the mini with computer. Now I can search App Store but can't download. I tried to sign out of my account, which worked, and sign in to another account (read about this somewhere that it had helped), but now it won't sign into any account. Just say "cannot connect with iTunes Store".

  • Why won't the user name and password for my podcast save when I click "Remember this password?"

    I have to enter the podcast log in information every time I update my podcast even though I click the box to remember the password.

    You should have received a small booklet with the router that contains that information. however, when the Verizon tech installs the router, he/she usually logs into the router during the installation, and the router requires the password to be changed at first login. So there are two answers:
    1) If nobody has logged into the router, or you have used the reset button to reset the router, the login should be : admin and password
    2) If the tech did log in, they normally change the password to: password1
    If you can't get in then reset the router using the reset button and use option 1.
    Note: Actiontec routers include a "security" feature (a big joke!!!) that when you type the password two or three bullets appear for each key pressed. Just ignore that crap and type the password the way it should be.

    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.

  • Why won't the App Store accept my new AppleID (iCloud does)

    I recently changed my email for my Apple ID. I deleted the old account from my iPhone and iPad and put in the new email. When I got to settings-iCloud it says that I am using the new email. But when I want to download an app from the AppStore and I am asked to put in the password, it shows the old email. I have tried deleting and re-submitting this over and over again, but the problems remains! What should I do?

    Make sure you changed the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores.  If you didn't, tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in with your new ID.

  • Why won't the app store use my account balance to buy mountain lion.

    I have an acccount balance enough to buy mountain lion but it wont draw from that balance.  A screen comes up to enter a credit card or redeem another gift card.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The US prices in the Mac App Store (MAS) do not reflect local sales taxes. Apple collects the sales tax in the final steps of the sale. If the balance does not cover the full total plus the taxes,, then the MAS will need another method of payment, either redeem another gift card or supply a bank card.

  • HT4463 Why won't the app I purchased download?
