When I go into the App Store and hit update, or try to download a new game, I get the prompt shown in the image.

I hit OK, and it loads the Terms and Conditions just fine and there is a nice blue accept button that I hit in the top right. However upon doing so it take me back to the App Store where I was before and then after about 1-2 seconds the prompt to accept reappears. Telling me to accept these Terms and Conditions.

I think the issue has something to do with the fact I had to change my region for the App Store recently as prior to that I had no issue with this. I needed an app from a foreign App Store to make travelling on public transport easier. And now I’ve switch back to the United Kingdom’s App Store. All of these apps that need updating were downloaded while I have been on the UK AppStore previously. And even games I’ve never downloaded before give me the prompt.

I also tried changing regions again and back, but to no avail. I’ve tried reading the whole Terms and conditions again and emailing them to myself. And I’m just about out of ideas.

This is apparently an issue currently with the App Store which is affecting a large number of users and is also affecting Apple's own servers. It is widely reported.

A number of iPhone and iPad users this morning are taking to Twitter and Reddit to report an issue with the App Store that prevents them from downloading or updating apps.

The problem starts when a user taps the Get button on an app listing, whereupon a pop-up informs them that "Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions have changed" and that they must read and accept them to continue.

According to the article, some users were able to circumvent the issue as follows:

Some users report that simply tapping Cancel when the T&C notification first pops up makes it go away, allowing them to download or update the app in question.
