I got a brand new 4th gen iPad for Christmas, unwrapped it, decided to set it up as a new iPad (as opposed to restoring from my old one's backup) since I figured I could just choose which apps I wanted to put in it and all.
It was working ok, and then I set up iCloud and Twitter and some other stuff and now when I open the AppStore, the purchased apps section stays blank with the loading icon on. Apps that I've purchased in the past show up in search with their original price although when I click to buy them and enter my password it says that I've purchased it already and only needs to be downloaded. What's really annoying is that I can't see which apps I have already purchased to choose which I want on my new iPad and which I don't!
I've tried the wi-fi dns fix, changing the date, force quitting appstore and soft reset of my iPad none of which work. I also updated to iOS 6.0.1 with the same problem persisting. Any ideas on how to fix this?
