10.9.2 - facetime, icloud, apps store, messages error
Hi All,
Hoping I could get some help. I have a macbook air 11inch, and right now i can't log into messages, icloud, facetime, or the apps store.
I get the following errors:
Error in communicating with icloud
error in connecting with server (facetime)
error occured in activation (messages)
I know my password is correct, so these are thing things I have tried:
1) restarting the app
2) making sure 'eable this account' is checked.
3) sign out, sign in again,
4) turn off imessage on my iphone and turn on again, wait for activation, reopen mac message app again (iphone works fine)
5) tried to connect from different networks
6) change my apple id password - I'm able to log in just fine from manage Apple ID
7) ensuring my card is correct in contacts,
8) deleted IDS: my apple id- authentication token
my next step is to reinstall maverick 10.9.2, but not sure if there is anything else I can do.
HI,
Open the Apple icon Menu tiop Left > About this Mac.
Click twice on the line that tell you the current OS level.
It will change to the Build number then the Serial Number.
Is the Serial Number present ?
Messages has needed it since the OS 10.8.2 Update but recently in Mavericks it seems the issue has raised itself again fro some installs of Mavericks.
If it is missing you will need to visit a Apple Store and have it replaced.
It can also be done at Apple Authorised Service Providers (AASP).

iPad app store "unknown error" message appears when updating app
Kathryn,
Had the problem also. Found in the forums and it worked for me:
go to settings
go to app store or "store" on my ipad
click on the apple id
sign out
sign in, again with id and password
then do update.
Hope this helps. -

App store, messages and notepad will not open
When I try to open app store, messages or notepad I get an error message that states that they quit unexpectedly
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful. -
Since I uploaded the new OS X Mavericks the App Store, Messages, Notes, Calendar, Maps and Preview will not launch/open. In Finder cannot find my files. Most crucially cannot upgrade OS X Mavericks software. I had two apple ID's, the old one not used
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
Why am I getting this App Store message:
The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.I had the same problem. Spoke to Apple support who directed me to Itunes support. Frustrating to say the least. Some have said remove virus barrier. I did and still nothing. Some posts have said to delete App store. DON'T DO IT.. App store is tuff to get back. This did work for me. Go to Finder, then go, pick go to folder, type in, /var/folder, and delete (send to trash). There were 2 folders I had to delete, KX & XX, and as soon as I sent them to the trash they returned but I was able to download & intall Mountain Lion and working well. Good luck..

Can not open App Store, messages, contacts, face time, contacts, photo booth etc... only safari, iTunes, mail can be opened.... help me.
Lanny here are the startup key sequences on wired keyboards to know for future reference:
SHIFT - safe boot.
command-S single user mode to run fsck
command-R to run a recovery boot.
command-option-P-R to reset the PRAM on Macs younger than 4 years, or whose PRAM battery is younger.
command-option-O-F to boot into open firmware.
D key to boot hardware test on an Intel Mac - for pre-July 20, 2011 Macs, this means having the original installer discs.
Option key - Startup Manager.
Option = Alt key on Windows keyboards.
Command key may be Windows key on Windows keyboards, or cloverleaf or Apple logo key on Apple keyboards.
Other startup sequences are here:

Cannot connect to app store message keeps coming up on my iPad.
Cannot connect to app store message keeps coming up on my iPad. My connection is fine I am just unable to get apps help??
Hi, Claire916,
Okay, thanks for offering those helpful details
it's a brand new iPad;
you did the initial setup via Setup Assistant;
you are getting online via your home wi-fi network
Internet sites appear to be performing as expected;
you restored your "whole ipad"
New questions:
Regarding the last point (restoring your iPad), which option did you choose?
a. Settings > General > Reset All Settings; OR
b. Settings > General > Erase All Content and Settings.
Using the iTunes app on your iPad, are you able to purchase and download a song?
Using the iTunes application on your computer:
are you able to purchase and download a song?
are you able to purchase and install an iPad app?
Finally — for now, at least — let's be sure we've covered all the bases by double-checking that, unlikely as it is, no one has enabled a restriction against Installing Apps on your iPad. Do this by looking in Settings > General > Restrictions.
Please don't become too frustrated with this bug. It is a fixable problem, and it will eventually be fixed for you. Nevertheless, if ever you feel impatient with the pace of help that I or someone else on this thread offers you, remember you can always make an appointment with the highly-trained and knowledgeable folks at your nearest Apple Store's Genius Bar. -
Where does iCloud app store downloaded attachments on iOS device?
I am wondering where iCloud app store downloaded attachments? I downloaded a rather large PDF for viewing and would like to get rid of it. Thank you.

Got it. So the Lion installer will be in my apps folder? the reason I'm asking is because I want to be able to create a bootable DVD so I can do a clean install. I have the instructs per OSX Daily. The instructs were from Apple devs on how to make a bootable DVD as they were doing with the pre-GM's. Thanks! -
