Thank you SO much! Retina display or not, I was going to return my iPad if it took hours to download apps.

Thanks! – this fixed my issue with the APP Store not producing search results, not showing Featured and not showing Top Charts (I am using an I-Phone 4 with 6.1.2 iOS). When I asked someone at an Apple store about this they wanted me to re-install the OS. I thought that was extreme. So I searched and found this. So – just turn of Genius and it worked great. Again, thanks

Agreed genius option does not appear in location services and in my apple I’d settings its already off. Yet the store is soooo slow

Ipad 3

iPad 3rd gen. doesn’t have the option in the settings and when I went to the iTunes store and viewed my ID, says that genius is already OFF.. App Store VERY sluggish since iOS 6 update.. it’s pretty much the only thing on the device that makes me wonder about the speed of the device.

I’m not able to view my apple Id. I’m also unable to go to the App Store or iTunes. I go to settings > AppStore and iTunes > apple Id and when I choose view apple id , it just loads a blank page. When I go to the App Store it just loads into a blank page, same goes for iTunes also. This happened ever since I updated to iOS6 and even the new 6.0.1 didn’t fix this problem. I even tried accessing the iTunes Store with my apple Id on my pc but nothing comes. I seriously don’t know what’s the problem. Some one help.

When I tap App Store it just says “loading” and never actually loads. It like I dont even have access to it anymore. Its really sluggish on my IPAD and nearly non-exsistant on my iphone

Genius! Thanks for this solution, as I wanted to turn Genius off entirely.

Mine doesnt include this option either, Looks likethese people who had problems resolved were the “beta people” who installed ios prior to official release. thats what i have concluded based on the dates they posted. Still no solution. Apple gonna feel some pain on this one if we are not willing to buy stuff from the itunes store. What idiots they have turned into. This is pure incompitance.
