App Store Application does not connect

Hello,
I am logged in here properly with my Apple ID - as you see.
When I start the App Store Application, I cannot login. I see the apps in App Store Application, then the drop down window appears, to enter Apple ID and Password. I enter both but only a mesage appears: Connection the app store failed...
I checked my Apple ID and Account informations, all seems to be correct, but I cannot login. Also if I click to Updates, the same message is displayed: No connection to app store...
Any help would be appreaciated, thank you.

If that is correct, update your system software.
Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update ...
And turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security  (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall
Disable anti virus software.

  • The application called VirusScan that comes preloaded on the macbook will no longer open, claiming that it is corrupt and that I must reinstall it.  After looking in the app store it does not appear that said application is available for re-downloading.

    The application called VirusScan that comes preloaded on the macbook will no longer open, claiming that it is corrupt and that I must reinstall it.  After looking in the app store it does not appear that said application is available for re-downloading. Is there a special, non-app store place where I am to go for this?
    Also, I installed MacKeeper about two-three months ago and am questioning its performance. Looking for input as to whether or not this application helps or hinders my system.

    I'll back up Csound on the MacKeeper thing.  In fact, I actually wrote the following about it:

    Remove is ASAP.  Do not use the provided uninstalled, as there are widespread reports of pop-ups advertising MacKeeper on your system after incompletely removing it.  Try this:

    As for VirusScan, Barney is right on the money that it does not come preinstalled on any Mac shipped new from Apple.  However you have gotten it, your best bet is removing it.  See my Mac Malware Guide for more information that will help you understand and avoid Mac malware without relying on anti-virus software.

    When trying to install apps from app store it does not prompt an apple id and after 15 minutes says "cannot connect to itunes store".

    Your Apple ID may be greyed out because of restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Changes>Accounts. If you set that restriction, your ID will be greyed out. Nobody can make changes to the account without entering the passcode to change disable the restriction.
    Maybe something in here will help, even though this is not exactly what you are experiencing.

  • TS1702 hen i go to the app store it does not ask me for my password

    i can not get any of my apps to update nor can i install any new apps. when I go to the app store it does not prompt me for my user name or password anymore .   ... any sudgestions ????

    Hello lssatt,
    It sounds to me like you are trying to get new content or update your apps but no matter what you do you are not being prompted for your Apple ID and password. I recommend first starting by signing out of your iTunes and App Stores in Settings > iTunes and App Stores. Then close all the running apps on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone, sign back into your account and try again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Itunes/app store suddenly does not recognise credit card security codes

    I have been using the same card for my itunes account for as long as i have had an itunes account and a personal credit card, all of a sudden about a week or so ago while trying to update some applications on my iphone it asked me to sign in and confirm my billing information, from that day on it has refused to recognise the security code for my credit card or any other credit card for that matter, has anyone else had a similar issue with billing for their app store/itunes account and if so is this something that can be fixed easily without sending the device out or going to a repair centre
    the most frustrating thing of all is all of the updates i need to install are free updates for applications that were also free :-/
    P.S. I have so far tried re-entering just the security code, the code and the numbers to the left that generally are not required, all the information pertaining to the numerical data on the card, all information in all fields (card and billing address etc.), i even tried using the other phone number for my ATT wireless account as well as my boyfriends mastercard, nothing has worked, it does not recognise the security code even though i know it is correct and has worked for other recent purchases, the odd thing is that unless i enter something wrong it oks all the other information, it's just the security code that always pops a red flag
    the specific error messages i have gotten is "security code is invalid", if my security code is invalid then why has my card worked for every other online purchase i've made recently using that security code exactly as it is printed on my card?

    This also happened to a friend of mine today as well.  Any ideas about what to do about this?

  • App store update does not clear after update applied

    I just got my iphone not too long ago.  I updated yesterday via iTunes the applications on my iphone.  the app store still shows one of the apps, numbers as needing updating but the application is already updated.  How do I clear this spurious flag that should not be there?

    However this does point to a bug in the app store update feature.  There should be some way to force a check of applications that updated but are still showing as needed in the app store.

  • TS3694 Error message in App Store saying "Can not connect to iTunes Store"?

    Just started using my iPad 3 that I just recieved for my birthday a few days ago. Last night went to download a new App from the App store, which was free. After hitting the "free" button and continuing on and hitting the "download App" button I received an error message saying "Can Not connect to iTunes Store" and the word "OK" under that to make it go away. I continued on with other games to see if it was just an issue with that one but no matter what i hit it says that same error message. I spent hours on the phone with Apple Support only to have the gentlemen have me save everything on my iPad onto my iTunes on my PC and then start to Restore to Factory setting and then was told if had any issues to call them back. I left the room for about 5 min. only to come back to have an error message saying "The ipad could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (3014). I was just wondering if anyone else is having any issues similiar to mine. Please advise. My next step is to call back up and ask to speak to a Support Specialist the gentlemen said..once it goes to the "restore" point regular tech support can not help he explained.. Just frustrated after spending over 1 1/2 hrs on the phone to have gotten nowhere and now have to call back and start again with something brand new.. I just think i got a lemon!!

    This what Apple's iTunes specific error codes support article says about that particular error.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • When I download a new app from the App Store it does not show up on my home screen but I can find it in my settings but out from it says no data

    When I download a new app from App Store and press open when it's complete, it won't do anything, and when I look on my home screens it's nowhere to be found but if I go to settings and look under icloud and usage, I can find them but out from it says no data. I have tried deleting them and reinstalling but that's no working either... Please help me.. Thank you very much:)

    Try resetting the phone. Push both the home and lock button at the same time until it goes off. Keep them pushed until the Apple logo come up...
    Also, try deleting the app and downloading it again.

  • I am trying to get a document from my cloud and on my Mac it says I need an updated version of numbers but when I go to mac app stores it does not allow me to download the new version which I use on my ipad?

    I am trying to access a numbers document in mycloud and it keeps saying I need a newer version. I purchased the upgraded app for my ipad and now I can't seem to upgrade my computer so that I can get access. I went to the app store but it won't let me download the newer version onto my computer? What is the point of putting things in the cloud if I can't access them?

    Numbers documents from iOS need Numbers 3.2 on a Mac to open. And Numbers 3.2 requires Mavericks. If you are using Mavericks you can get Numbers 3.2 from the Mac App Store. It will be free IF you have Numbers 2 (iWork '09) installed. Otherwise you must buy it.
    Your other option is to send the Numbers file as an Excel file via e-mail to yourself to open with an earlier version of Numbers.
