About Apple ID and Mac App Store Purchases...

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could give me some assistance for this question. Ok here's the situation, I want to use iCloud in my Mac however, I can't use it because it requires my Apple ID to be in an e-mail format (i.e. "[email protected]"), and my ID is in user name format (i.e. "deltaforce"). I know that you can change your ID into email format by logging into appleid.apple.com. the problem that I have is that I have made multiple Mac App Stores purchases and I don't want to lose them if I update the ID. I was wondering if the Mac App Store will still recognize me as the owner of my apps under the new ID.
Thanks for any assistance on this matter...
Happy Holidays!

I have now spent many hours on this APPLE ID issue and still no luck from apple. I paid for an Apple ID for 10 Years with my .mac account which did not have the email address format. So now I bought an IPAD and had to convert to the email address format - OK no problem except all the APPS and Music purchased under my original ID ar NO LONGER linked to my @mac.com address. Where did they go? I have 3 other macs trying to sync and now nothing works! Type " apple ID issues" into Google ( Google - not the apple support search window) and the first thing that comes up is many people with the same issue - click on the "Apple ID verification problem" and you will see over 6000 people have used this trail to figure out what happened to their Apple ID. Come on APPLE - Read you own posts and help us. I did not change my account you did. I am a loyal 30 year apple fan and this is the most PC thing you have ever done. The apple Experts at the store are telling me I have to pay for tech support help to fix your server issues - - Come on!!! That would not work anyway - - Just read all the people who have tried at this link and you will see that many people have this issue and the tech support does not know how to fix it.

What is the full text of the message that you are getting ?
Messages about countries usually refer to the country that you have on your iTunes account. You have your correct billing address on your account, and you are in that country ? If you can't log into your account directly on your phone to view/correct your address details (e.g. via Settings > iTunes & App Store), then can you do it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com ?

Is there a way to permanetly delete an app from Mac App Store Purchases, (not just hide it)?

The latest Apple update allows you to hide purchases in iTunes and Mac App Store. But to no avail am I able to find a way to permanetly delete Mac App Store Apps from the my account purchases.

hiding a purchase doesnt do the job because it makes it harder to orgenzie your apps when u want to download all apps to your computer you get the hidden ones too
and you ask your self why why whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy
and again u fined your self spending too much time delleting unwanted apps because you dont want your itunes to b a mass
if theres is a way to avoid downloading hidden app and i missed it im sorry apple
and please tell me how

Itunes store and mac app store keeps quitting automatically on mountain lion

itunes store and mac app store quits automatically with an error message .....

hi, I am the same U :
i'm from a country from the middle east called Palestine, and there is no store for it in the mac app store and i keep trying to buy os x mountain lion from the app store and it keeps saying invalid number can anybody help pease?

I think that you know as well as anyone here that there is not yet a legal entity known as the nation of Palestine. There is the Palestinian Territories that are administered currently by the nation of Israel. So if you are going to use the iTunes Store or the Mac App Store, you likely have to use the Israeli Store with a bank card from a local bank with a local billing address. If you cannot supply those bank credentials, then you will likely need to get an iTunes Gift Card for the Israeli Store and buy content that way.
now...
I tried to enter the Apple store to buy some programes, Although I have electronic shopping card, and tried to give it's informations as accurately as possible, but it was rejected because the numbers are not included in the list of their country, so what can i do to solve this problem,because my country Palestine is not included in the list of the country that are known to the store, when i put Israel also it was rejected and I want to buy this store programs

I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

Updates for unrelated and unauthorized apple ID on mac app store

Hi,
I am having a queer issue with the mac app store.
When I go to the updates tab in the mac app store I see an update for twitter app v 2.1.1.
Now the twitter app on my apple ID has already been updated to 2.1.1 (I have checked in the get info on the twitter app).
As soon as I click on update I get the dialog box of username and password, only in the username tab I see a different apple ID.
It as a gmail ID which does not belong to me and neither has such an apple ID been authorized on my mac.
I tried contacting apple email support for the mac app store twice, writing down my problem in detail. However I didn't get an acknowldegement mail both times (I checked junk mail).
Is Anyone else having a similar issue? Is this an indication of some sort of hacking?
I am running the Mac OS Snow Leapord 10.6.8
Now I'm just hoping maybe updating to Lion might solve this issue.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay in replying, i have be away on vacation.
To my knowledge I have not downloaded any trial apps form other than from the app store. its a mystery. I just want to get rid of this twitter app so that i can download the safe version.

Do manufacturer trial periods apply to mac app store purchases?

Auto Desk offers a free 30 day trial for AutoCadLT 2013. I'm willing to spend $900 through the APP store, but only if I can get my money back if within 30 days I'm unhappy. Is there a written policy on this subject that I can review?

You can't get trials from the Mac App Store and Apple doesn't accept refunds after purchasing an app. That's why I recommend you to read reviews of that application and check if it works for your uses

Problems with mail and Mac App Store, can't reinstall mavericks.

I have a 2012 Macbook Air. A while ago, I started getting this message when I tried to open mail.
Also, when I try to open the mac app store, it looks like this regardless of the tab I choose.
First, I tried backing everything up through time machine and restoring my mac, but that did nothing. Next, I tried repairing the disk through recovery mode, but it said everything was ok. Lastly, I tried reinstalling Mavericks through recovery mode, but I got a message saying "OS X Mavericks failed to download. Use purchases page to try again." Of course, I can't use the purchases page because it won't load . The nearest Apple store is 2 hours away, so I'd really like to avoid visiting one, if possible. I would be grateful beyond words for any help. Thanks in advance.

Just to confirm, you can boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
When you select to reinstall OS X, what happens?
Fix for missing MAS
It's possible #1 will do the trick, but you might need to do the additional steps in Keychain access.
1. Delete the files /var/db/crls/crlcache.db and /var/db/crls/ocspcache.db. These can be found using Finder’s Go >; Go To Folder menu (Cmd + Shift + G). This resets the cache of accepted certificates in the system. It doesn’t remove them, it just forces the system to rebuild the caches upon restart.
2. Open Keychain Access (/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access). Select Certificates in the Category picker on the left side. In the search bar, type in the word Class. Look through that list, and find any certificates that have a blue + symbol over their icon. These are the ones you need to modify.
Select one that has a blue +, and hit Command + I. Click the disclosure triangle beside the “Trust” list to show the list of permissions. Now, what we need to do is to set this certificate to use the system defaults. However, for some reason, when you select it, it doesn’t save. So what you need to do is this. Under “Trust”, where it says “Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)”, change the dropdown menu to say “No Value Specified”. Then, close the window. It will ask for your administrator permissions. Then, open the info pane for that certificate again. Under “Trust” again, now set the dropdown that says “When using this certificate:” to say “Use System Defaults”. You can then close out of the info pane, and enter your password again. Do this for any of the certificates that have a blue + on their icon. There should only be one or two at most.
(Note: I had to toggle the settings before it would stick)
Restart your system.

IMPACT ON MAC APP STORE PURCHASES BY CHANGING COUNTRY

I bought Mac App Store apps in the Netherlands, however I moved to Spain, made my Apple ID to be associated to the Spanish App Store and the apps do not appear there as purchased. The apps are still on my SSD. So if not solved I cannot get updates ...or get them on another Mac without repurchasing. Some of them are expensive.
Thanks,
Peter

Good morning Dahveed,
I confirm, the Mac App Store-apple ID and iOS account-apple ID are the same, now both in Spain. As the Mac App Store apps seem to be on Apple's servers, it should be possible to install them again even if I bought them in a different store (in NL). Maybe in the future with iCloud functionality ? It would be especially important if I would buy a new Mac. But then a copy of the app from my present Mac to the new Mac could do the job I guess.
In any case, best regards,
Peter

Mac App Store purchase stuck on 'Installing'

So I bought Napoleon: Total War earlier this evening. After a surprisingly long download time, the game began installing. The progress bar told me this would take 27 minutes. More than 2 hours later and it's still stuck on this 'installing in 27 minutes' business. I have googled the issue and found similar posts to mine, however most of them have been resolved by emptying the Mac App Store Cache or deleting the HDD/Library/Update files, or simply rebooting the Mac. However, none of these have worked and time is still ticking on. If anyone can give me a hand as to how I can resolve this then it will be hugely appreciated. Ideally, I'd love my £21 back however I know how extremely unlikely that is.

Hi TomCorbishley
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to want to get a refund for a purchase. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
Report an problem with an item you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

Getting a non-email Receipt from Mac App Store purchase

I bought something on the app store today and realized the email that Apple has for me is not valid anymore (hotmail from years ago that I don't use). Any way to get my receipt for the app store purchase for a reimbursement without relying on email?

Yes, app store is available - but not with systems updates on MacOS 10.7.4
I tried on a MacBook with 10.7.2 and it was able to connect. After now updating, the connection to app store is impossible,
And it's only one installation - the installation of MacOS 10.7.4 Combo Update and it killed
For some, it seems to help to reset manually the certificate settings... for others, it seems to work with the ocspd preferences... next seems to solve it by doing both in combination and for others nothing helps.
So I think, we need a fix - because I think, it's a problem in the latest OS update.
