Apps page is blank after a factory reset
After a factory reset, I restored all my data from backup Once I was done with restoring all my shares and settings + all the data, I just discovered that the apps page is blank ! I can install app...

Ah, I never thought about it
I restored my configuration settings without reinstalling apps
The problem is that some of the configuration settings include settings for the apps (which are no longer there). That can mess things up.

You could try using ssh:
# apt-get install -fy rn-dictionary freeapp-collection readynasos ca-certificates
Be careful to log in as root, using the NAS admin password.

Sorry, I hadn't much time to test. I got an error with this:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done ca-certificates is already the newest version (20141019+deb8u4). readynasos is already the newest version (6.10.3).

I did not try the solutions suggested my the text as I am not sure it will really fix it or even break more the NAS
Any more help here ?
Thank you
The -403 problem needs to be fixed by Netgear (something's wrong on their server). Several other folks have posted this problem (inability to install any apps), and I've duplicated on my own NAS.
The mods are on it, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.
I will test in a few days/weeks and once fixed, I give feedback here
Thank you again
Thank you, your command fixed it.
Can you provide some info on how it did, because here's teh output of the command:
root@NAS-01:~# apt-get install -fy rn-dictionary freeapp-collection readynasos ca-certificates Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

As you see, nothing was actually done, but it did fix the apps page !

Honestly I don't know. I have seen other posts where that command did fix it - though as you say, in your case it doesn't seem to have made any changes.
