All over the WWW...
When I open the App Store and navigate to the "Featured" category, I receive an error message "Too many HTTP redirects". It only happens when I try the Featured category. The other categories don't seem to have any problems.

I have the iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.

I have tried signing out and re-entering my Apple ID and password. Also did a hard-reset, but the problem still persists. I have not tried to restore the phone as yet.

If nothing works, then will go ahead and restore it.

Just wanted to know if you had a similar problem and how it was fixed.

I too have the same issue.:mad: I've tried everything suggested, but to no avail.:confused:

On a side note, I've noticed that the OEM Lightning cable is only charging in one direction on my phone since the 6.1 software update. The Lightning cable should be "reversible". Is anyone having the same issue?
 
I'm having the same problem on my Verizon iPhone 5 64GB. It started out of the blue a couple days ago and my first instinct was to blame my constantly unreliable home WiFi. However, I still have the problem on LTE as well as other WiFi networks. I've tried all the fixes... restarting, hard-restart, sign out/sign in of Apple ID, etc. Any other advice?

Hi...
I have the same problem but I solved it easily...
It happened when I tried to make another account and just closed the App Store, then I got the mentioned message...
My solution was:
1- Go to Setting> iTunes & App stores> sign out of your account
2- Open App Store and try to download anything free and when asked to enter your account just close the App Store
3- Go to setting again and sign in
4- For here it worked for me, I don't know about you... lol
 
I tried every "solution" on the internet and the problem still exists on my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1 (but not on my iPad 4 running 6.1). I guess it's somewhat a server side issue. The symptom only appears when I try to browse the "Top Chart" page.
 
Going by a post in the iOS 6.1.2 release thread, this might have gotten addressed recently (possibly related to the iOS release and possibly just a coincidence).
 
Set up as a new device

I tried all the ideas that were suggested: hard reset, sign out then sign in and a bunch of other suggestions but nothing helped.

In the end, I ended up setting up my the iPhone as a new device.

Working fine now.
