App Store down or just me?

Guys, can you access the App Store in iTunes? I can get on everything - music, books etc, but not the App Store, for some weird reason?

Hmm, seems I can access it on my phone, but not my PC - strange!

Mine's fine.

Diggsy · 19 Aug 2011 at 13:20

Hmmm, wonder what is going on with mine, perhaps a reboot will sort it

EDIT - no, still not playing ball

Every time I click on the App Store button, it just does nothing, yet all the other buttons are fine - WTF??

The App store was down on my iPad this morning. The App store through iTunes was fine.

Hmmm, perhaps they are having some issues then. Will leave it until tomorrow in case the problem is at their end. Nothing worse than re-installing things only to find out there was nothing wrong with it in the first place :rolleyes:

That's probably a good idea

I'm so glad you posted this as I was just about to start re-installing iTunes. So it would seem there may be some issue at their end then? Hmmm, guess I will leave it another few days before doing anything drastic. Thanks

No worries mate, i checked for an update as well but it seems im running the latest version of itunes as well. So annoying tho i only wanna browse for a few apps!

liamcrane · 20 Aug 2011 at 19:50

Diggsy i have read up on a cure for this issue online and now mines working fine. You need to uninstall itunes and everything else apple related i.e apple mobile device bonjour etc from the control panel then reboot and download itunes again from there site install and you should be good to go

Hope this helps mate, good luck

Cheers Liam, will give it a go later. What a pain in the butt though

Diggsy · 22 Aug 2011 at 10:48

Liam, where did you find the information about this? I am loath to re-install, but very interested to read about it

EDIT: bit the bullet and did the uninstall>reinstall, all working fine again. Wonder what caused it though? Weird

liamcrane · 22 Aug 2011 at 18:22

sorry for the late reply mate, im the same when it comes to reinstalling things i hate it!! I red the info on the apple forums it seemed it was quite common among a lot of users but like you say it really was strange how it come about one day it worked the next day nothing.

Glad your all back up and running anyway buddy

Diggsy · 22 Aug 2011 at 18:27

Yup, certainly is a strange one. Thanks a lot for your help
