App Store does not recognize my Apple ID what should I do?

My Apple ID does not work for App Store , when I click on App Store the id that appears on App Store is very different from my Apple ID

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • HT1918 App Store does not accept my bank card, what i have to do?

    App Store does not accept my bank card, what i have to do?

    The last app purchase did not go well. I still owe some money to the app store, but for some reason, because of this, it refuses my credit card details, even though they are correct and the bank says my card is fine.

  • Mac app store does not accept my apple password

    The Mac App store does not accept my password for my apple ID. A red line appears that says "an unknown error has occured." The ID and Password are being typed in correctly, I am 100% sure of that. Credit card is up to date. Itunes is working fine and logged in to Apple ID. Ipad and Iphone are logged in, working fine. Have not installed Maverick, still using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.  I was going to update to Mavrick, but not sure I should with all the negative reviews and now this problem. Please help, thanks!

    It's been reported that Apple's servers are having problems tonight. Just try again later.

  • App Store does not recognize my id, but works

    I have my MacBook Pro 15 (2013), iPad, iPad mini, and an iPhone 4. For some reason I could not menage to sinc iPhone reminders with MacBook. Just downloaded tweeter on my iPhone and got the message saying that somebody used my id from unauthorised device. The funny thing is my phone has same credit card information that other devices, and shows that I am signed in with the same id. Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • My iTunes Store is configured to the Venezuelan store, and I can't purchase apps because the store does not support US cards. What should I do?

    I sent an e-mail to the iTunes store support contact, but they keep saying that I must use a Venezuelan card.
    In Venezuela, a person is limited only to use a maximum of 400 USD (that's four hundred US dollars) per year. I already used them all, but I want to purchase another stuff. I have a US Visa Debit Card, but my iPad says that the venezuelan store does not support my card.
    So, I can't use my Venezuelan card because I already spent the complete 400 dollars, yet it won't let me use a US card.
    Anyone knows how I can change my region to the United States?
    Thanks!

    And we would like to receive a clear statement about what you are really trying to do rather than rude responses from you to us fellow users who are indeed trying to address your issue.
    Did you read this part of my reponse?
    You must use a credit card that was issued by a bank in the country whose iTunes Store you wish to use, and the card must also have its billing address in that same country.
    and
    The reverse is also true; you cannot use a Venezuelan-issued credit card in the US iTunes Store (nor are you allowed to use the US iTunes Store from outside of that country).
    How does that not address your issue?

  • Why doesn't Mac App Store does not recognize my new Apple ID?

    I change my Apple Id several weeks ago and everything seemed fine until I tried to update a game in the App Store.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    To update an App Store product, you must sign into the store with the same ID you used to purchase it.

  • App store does not 'see' Aperture (no update)

    After updating to Mavericks, the App Store does not recognize Aperture as an installed/bought app.
    Updates from 3.2 up to and including 3.4.5 have worked flawlessly. Now the App Store update page tells me there are no updates for Aperture while I'm stuck at version 3.4.5.
    In the System Information app, under 'Installations', there's an Aperture Update entry dating 30 October 2013 but without a version number. Could this be a botched update which is blocking further updates? If so, how can I purge it?
    Thanks for any help.
    Gus

    On another discussion thread, I found the "solution" to the problem. Changing the system language to English magically solves the issue and now Aperture is at version 3.5.
    Bad QC, Apple!

  • Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but ITunes, my iPad and iPhone does.  I have rest my password three times, same results. Also, ATV says my computer is not authorized, but I-Tunes says it is.

    Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but iTunes, my iPad and iPhone does.  I have rest my password three times, same results.
    ATV says my computer is not authorized, but i-Tunes says it is.
    I have i-Tunes open on my computer and have entered i-Tunes store, ATV says it can't access the store.  Both on the same network!
    I am so frustrated with this system!  All these problems with Apple TV are not the end but the beginning.
    In i-Tunes, songs are lost when they have not been moved. I lose whole albums I have ripped from CDs to iTunes
    An audiobook book in two files are in the library but only one file is recognized by iTunes when I try to play it or transfer it to my iPhone

    I Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
    I Am using a Macpro though.
    i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
    However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback.
