Getting the same on my MacBook Air on 10.8.2.

Not happy, need to download xcode tonight.

2) I wonder if this is related to the bug(?) in iCloud upgrading people to 25G until the year 2050?

any thoughts on the above?

Actually the first "gate" was "Agate." It was very colorful. Next was Golden-gate or maybe it was Col-gate, I get those two confused. The presidential thingy came way after!

Apple gets, what, 30% of revenue from the App Store? They know its broken. They're losing money every second. I'm sure they're on it.

unknownperson · Sep 30, 2012, 11:38 PM

Not only does this issue affect iOS, but iTunes purchases from Mac's as well!

ugh!

I can't play any of my music in iTunes Match either.

This is a reoccurring issue with Apple's stores and their Terms and conditions. I'm sick of dealing with this crap! Stop running this company like Apes.

pixeltarian · Sep 30, 2012, 11:40 PM

I think it's fixed now.

codyc815 · Sep 30, 2012, 11:41 PM

Fixed

Instant gratification isn't so gratifying sometimes? Really?

Now, whenever Apple does something that to critic's eyes seems flawed, they just add a -gate at the end.

Specifically a break-in to the Democratic National Convention Headquarters by members of Nixon's re-election committee.

Could be that Apple is updating iTunes to 8.0, which seems like a pretty big upgrade. Apple's site said iTunes 8 was coming in October… if international stores don't have the problem, then maybe they get iTunes 8 later. This is my bet.

rocknblogger · Sep 30, 2012, 11:42 PM

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this but if you go through all 42 pages and then agree, the app starts downloading and the ToS does not return. I guess they want to be able to say that you read all 42 pages and don't have a leg to stand on if you have a complaint or say that you didn't know about it.

MacSniss · Sep 30, 2012, 11:42 PM

Fixed...

Joesmith13245 · Sep 30, 2012, 11:43 PM

Appstore works. You're just holding the phone wrong.

53kyle · Sep 30, 2012, 11:43 PM

It only made me agree once, then downloaded. Perhaps it is fixed now?

KMS4S · Sep 30, 2012, 11:43 PM

I joined this forum specifically to seek help with my 4S w/ iOS6 experiencing this problem... guess that's that then lol. Good to know at least it's a mass problem and not specific to me!

This is very annoying.

nextyoyoma · Sep 30, 2012, 11:44 PM

Either the issue is resolved for me or I found a workaround. Here is what I did:

1) Attempt to download/update an app.

2) Agree to terms and conditions as prompted.

3) Click on "Start shopping"

4) IMMEDIATELY download a free app.

Worked for me on the Mac App store. Although it may just be that they fixed the issue while I was doing this!

Luckybobby · Sep 30, 2012, 11:44 PM

Fixed for me too YEAH!

iTunes 11, and they don't usually update things right at the beginning of the month

sh0vel · Sep 30, 2012, 11:45 PM

Working again.

iTunes 8? Why the hell are we going back to 2008?!
