I can't stop the App Store from opening on my MAC Air when turning it on. It didn't use to do this and I have no idea what I did, but I don't want it to open without me asking it to. Help please.

I must have done something that I'm not aware of. Every time I turn on my Mac Air the App Store opens. I don't want that, obviously. It's not in my login apps (I checked in system preferences), and it's not in my dock and when I put it in my dock it didnt' show "open at login", and I never choose to resume my programs when shutting down.
I am running the latest OS (10.8.4).
So, there has to be something else that I'm missing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

Can I stop the App Store from asking my Apple ID everytime I download an app?

Please help. I am sick to death of typing in my Apple ID every time I want to download an app. Can I dis-enable something to stop it from asking?

No. That is done for your benefit so that someone could not use your account without your permission.

How do i stop the app store from prompting me to update Pages?

I don't want to update to the new version of Pages until they make the Maverick version as fullscale as 4.3.
Call me cranky, but I find the incessant update notifications annoying.
Thanks in advance

You can hide certain updates by ctrl-clicking them in the Updates list in App Store, Updates tab. It will show a contextual menu with one item, Hide update.
Hopefully, the forum page has let you know that I'm trying to do this on a Mavericks iMac, since it asked me to designate all that stuff.
I understand that from the forum and your profile, but that has nothing to do with my reply.
As you can see here, I have both 5.2 and 4.3.
Also, see here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049
From that article:
In the meanwhile, you can continue to use these features by accessing the previous versions of the iWork applications which remain installed on your Mac. The previous versions can be found in Applications > iWork ’09.
This article indicates you must enable the Debug menu in App Store to hide apps, but I have never had to do that. However, I don't have any pending updates to test: http://nicolamonaca.wordpress.com/2014/01/22/how-to-hide-a-software-update-in-th e-mac-app-store/

Hey 8325,
There's an article that goes over what to do when you're having issues connecting to the iTunes store:

You'll want to follow the steps in the "Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" section.

There is an app I want to purchase for my iphone , but can't find it on the app store from my MacBook Pro

There is an app I want to purchase for my iphone , but can't find it on the app store from my MacBook Pro. I have credit on the Mac Book, but can't see it from iphone.

Are you checking from within the Apps section of iTunes on your computer? Is there a reason you can't download it directly to the iPhone?

I can't access the App Store icon. It opens but a large delta airlines app is superimposed over the top of the App Store updates icons and is locking the entire app. How do I delete it?

I can't access the App Store app. When I tap the Icon, a large Delta airlines app is superimposed over the top of everything and freezes up the entire App Store. how can delete this large app and where did it come from.

Quit the App Store app and reset your iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Can You Browse the "App Store" but not be an iPhone Owner?

Not an iPhone user, but could be.
Could be if I saw the quality, selection, level of apps that start to get created for the iPhone. Maybe some will fill needs for me that are keeping me from using the iPhone. For example, maybe someone will make Treo similar apps (todos, memos, Treo similar calendar + notes within calendar, etc) - NOT web apps - and I can stop using my Treo and jump to an iPhone.
BUT, how can I browse the "App Store" as a non iPhone owner and see what they have to offer? Will it not be something seen only in iTunes by iPhone users? or will non iPhone users also see a new "App Store" option in iTunes one day? Or, will there be a dedicated website you can go to besides seeing them via iTunes?

IF it is going to be viewable by anyone with iTunes, iPhone user or not...
would you be able to see it from my current 'stable' version of iTunes - in my case 7.1.1
or would you have to upgrade to iTunes 7.6?

Re: Trouble connecting to apps and iTune store.
Jan 30, 2013 10:29 PM (in response to DonWhite)
Like so many others, after updating to OS6 and changing my iCloud password, none of my devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, iMac etc) could connect to the tunes store, the error message was something "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again." However, there was nothing wrong with my internet connection - programs like Safari & Mail worked just fine.
After trawling through the discussions and trying the recommendations (change time/date, activate location services, reset network settings etc) I just became more frustrated.
I figured that if iTunes thought my network connection was the problem, maybe I should try tricking it and, after much trial, error and frustration, I did find a solution - and it may work for you...
I turned off WiFi on my iPhone, then connected to my telco's 3G network, then connected to the iTunes store and it worked fine. Then I switched back to WiFi and all is good. Did the same for the iPad. For the MacBook and iMac I turned off WiFi then tethered the iPhone on the 3G network to the computer, then connected to iTunes Store, then went back to WiFi. For some reason that I don't understand, this all went as planned and now everything works.
Anyway, I thought I should contribute to the community by letting you know the solution I found. Of course, this may not necessarily work for you, but it's worth a shot.

How do I switch the App Store from US to Australia?

I am in Australia but a friend somehow changed the App Store from Australia to us. So I am unable to download any apps. How can I change it back to the Australian App Store?

Change to Australian App Store

2. Tap "iTunes & App Stores"
3.Tap "View Apple ID"
4. Enter your user name and password.
5. Tap "Country/Region."
6. Tap "Change Country/Region"
7. Select the region where you are located.
8. Tap "Done".

I can't stop the App Store from opening on my MAC Air when turning it on. It didn't use to do this and I have no idea what I did, but I don't want it to open without me asking it to. Help please.
