Download apps ipad just spins

Remember when Mac users used to be able to make fun of Windows users for having to reboot to fix problems? Good times. That was what finally fixed the problem for me. The next time I launched the App Store app, it loaded almost immediately.

I hope Apple is more aware of this type of problem than they sometimes appear to be. But until the world is how we wish it would be, we have to figure out how to make do with it as it is.

My hope is that someone having this issue may find this page via Google, etc. My thanks to Kyle Demilo aka macfixer for his help solving this mystery, and clearly living up to his Twitter name.

Update: I have had this happen enough times that I made a shell script to somewhat automate the process. You can find it at GitHub or, if you are very trusting and in a rush, just run this line in Terminal.
