App Store and apps can't verify account on Mavericks

MacBook Pro (13 mid 2012), 2.5ghz Intel i5, 8GB, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
I can not open any purchased apps or log on to the app store on my macbook only. I am able to log into iTunes just fine. And am able to use my account for the app store on my iPhone. When I try to use the App Store it tells me that my device needs to be verify. But it refuses to accept the password that I enter. I have tried to turn off wi-fi to test that and I have also restarted a couple times. Any help is appreciated.

called apple. they helped me solve the problem. We dumped the plist and it was fixed.

    No. You need to buy it for your Apple ID and for the other. You will have problems with updates

    Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Click Go
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Launch the App Store. See if that made a difference...

    You can sign into the iTune Store and check your Purchase History.

    Can you download large files from other places apart from the App store, wondering if it is the App store or your internet connection.
    If it just the app store check this url http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

  • How can I restore App Store and apps

    How can I restore App Store and my purchased apps

    If you mean that you can't find the App Store app on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ? If it is hidden then unhide it and the app should then appear on your iPad's homescreen, and you can then re-download your apps via the Purchased tab in it.

  • App store and safari don't work anymore after maverick upgrade

    Hello everybody,
    I'm experiencing mysterious problems with app store and safari that I don't really know if it can depend on the installation of maverick (maybe it happened afterwards and I noticed it at a later time).
    When I launch app store I have to wait a few seconds for the spinning wheel stopping and nothing happen after. Just green app store window with app store ICON in the middle and nothing else. I've tried to deactivate firewall and to reboot the MAC with cmd+option+P+R without success.
    Another strange thing happens with safari. It seems that it won't be able to handle coming html streams from the sites i'm browsing and very often it crashes. I use chrome in place of safari but it annoys me a lot.
    I have a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.9.4 (13E28), 2.53 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM DDR3.
    Of course I've tried SW update but, since app store doesn't work, I can't complete the action.
    Any help ? Would be very apreciated.
    Thank you all in advance,
    Mauro

    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
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    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 other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • App store and apps problem when migrated

    I am going to ask this here because Apple support has not been able to fix this.
    Old computer = iMac core 2 duo 2.4GHz 10.6.7
    OK so I just bought a new iMac quad core i7 2.93GHz (2010 model on closeout) and from the start I selected to migrate from a time machine backup. Took a long time but worked (well execpt for this problem).
    So one thing I noticed after the backup was that there was no app store program installed. I then noticed the OS that was on the machine was 10.6.4 (pre app store). So I did the upgrade and and it's now at 10.6.8.
    Problem is the apps won't load (click and nothing happens, click on ones in dock and it bounces once then nothing). So I load up the app store and log in, seems to take my login OK but won't let me do anything like make a purchase or do an update to an older app. It tells me they were purchased with a different account when I try to update and tells me I don't have a valid account when I try to purchase.
    Well it's a good account and I went back to the old computer signed out and back in with the 'exact' same info and it works fine on that computer, even did the update to the program that was older"
    Called Apple support, ran me through a dozen things (I could tell he was running out of ideas) and he finally said it must be a problem with your account (I seriously doubt it as I use the same account on the old computer, a laptop and 2 'i' devices with no issue).
    I think it has something to do with the fact that the migration happened when the OS was older than the app store.
    Not sure what to do but I would like to be able to use the apps I purchased and be able to purchase more in the future.
    Any ideas?

    Well looks like the fix was to download the stand alone 10.6.8 updater and re update the OS.

  • Argh! iPhone 2.0 App Store and Apps are $%#'ed

    So I was at one point, able to log into the App Store, and "purchase" free apps... now I cannot hit the "OK" button when it prompts me for my password... or cancel for that matter, have to hit the home button, goto iTunes, get the App, then sync it back.
    That worked until 2 days ago, now I cannot even run ANY apps! I have unsync'ed them (effectively deleting them), re-sync'ed them (re-installing) and every app will show me the title screen for about .5 seconds, then back to the home screen... Aren't I glad I got the 2.0...
    Anybody have any ideas or seen this yet?

    ok. So after unsynching apps, re-authorizing iTunes, re-synching... The iPhone now can use the apps, but the store on the iPhone still will not let me hit the Ok button... So no updates for me

  • Iphone 4 App Store and Apps

    hi everyone,
    I am iphone 4 16bg white color (ios 4.3.5 (8L1)) user. Recently, i experience that my apps updates does not download when I update it. Usually, when I go to app store and see some updates for my apps, i only need to choose "update all" option and input my password. i will be automatically sent out back to the background window and see my iphone downloading the updates for the apps. however, this time when choose to update my apps, i was sent out automatically back to the background window and see that the download bar under the apps not working at all. the bar will not full and just remain empty under the apps icon unless I go back to app store and choose update all once again. This happens quite often to me. Does anybody ever come across this too? Please help me on this. Sorry for my English. Thank you guys.

    If the open button actually opens the app, but you do not see that app on any of the home screens, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.
    If it does not open the App or if you still cannot find the app, go to Settings > General > Usage.  Locate the App on the list and delete the app.  Then you can re-download it from the App Store.

  • Purchased apps on iPad, but only a handful appear in purchased section of app store, and I can't get them on my other devices.

    I bought a ton of apps on my iPad (First generation), and when I upgraded to an iPad 2 (currently running ios 8.1.2), I was able to re-download those apps and purchase new ones using my same appleID.  However, now, when I go to the purchased section of the app store (both on my iPad and on my Macbook Pro) again using my same appleID, the only purchases showing are ones that I made after I upgraded to the iPad 2 (in Feb 2014). Nothing previously purchased shows up in that section. So now, when I try to use family sharing or even just download my early purchases onto a new device using my own appleID, I can't. The app store just prompts me to purchase the apps as if I never bought them before.
    So, for example, I have minecraft pe on my iPad (it's still there and works fine, and it's the latest version 0.10.4). A few months ago, I was able to put it onto a new device (my brother's) using my appleID. He then deleted it off his iPad, but now wants to re-download it. Since we're on family sharing, he tried going to the purchased section of the app store under my name, but it wasn't there. When I looked on my own iPad in the purchased section, it wasn't there either. When I signed into his iPad with my appleID, and searched for the app in the store, it prompted me to purchase the app for $6.99 instead of offering to download it from iCloud, like it used to do. I've checked on my Macbook, and, there too, it doesn't show up in the purchased section. I don't have any hidden apps, so I couldn't 'unhide' it either.
    At some point, I'm sure I'll upgrade my device, and I'd like to know that all my apps (including minecraft) can be downloaded - especially since I've been using the same appleID for all my purchases. Is there something I'm missing? Any help on how to get access to those apps that I've already bought onto new devices? I'd rather not have to re-purchase everything.
    Thanks in advance!

    If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely. Remember

  • What information is listed in the App Store and hot can I change it?

    Hi,
    Finally I have submitted my app for review.  However, the intent was to transfer it under company name which did not happen. For a number of reasons I do not want my personal information to be displayed/associated with the app.
    What information would be displayed with the app and how can I change it? During submission I have not seen anything that would allow me to change/set any of that information.

    If want a company name to display, you need a company developer account.
    Contact Apple for details.
