APP Store Login Error - Cannot verfy Device

Trying to login to my account in App Store. White Macbook (2008). Keep getting message "Your device or computer cannot be verified". Can access account from other mac's, so problem is with this computer. Have read other posts and have deleted NetworkInterfaces.plist file and rebooted computer several times. No luck. All these postings seem older, none recent. Any suggestions for 2015?
Thanks!

Is there an App in App Store to solve "Cannot Use Device - 'The connected USB device requires too much power' error

I'm not an app developer, but I'm wondering if there is an app that enable's USB devices connected via the camera USB and using the most current iOS 5.0 to use USB devices that draw on the iPad's power. I'm making reference to some USB microphones such as Blue Yeti that have suggested that to get a Blue Yeti working one hasto downgrade to iOS 3.2.2?
I'm thinking, can Apple or someone make this app so the user may think, "okay I want more power now to record something", and the user can turn up the power and when they've done recording, go to the app, turn down the power when the USB device is not in use [by turning down the power via the app].
Of course with the App, Apple or the developer may state that using the USB Charge Changer radically reduces the charge of the device. It'll keep a LOT of musicians and creative types very happy. I hope with Apple's blessing they'll consider this.
Hey, I'll pay 5 bucks to get this app!

No, third-party apps cannot change the power drawn by USB devices. Such a change would have to come from Apple in an IOS update.
Send feedback directly to Apple about this here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Hacked Message: Your Apple ID was just used to download Podcasts from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID

So I just got a message from Apple saying
"Your Apple ID was just used to download Podcasts from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID"
I am new to Apple products and signed up to the app store about an hour before but have not downloaded any apps yet.
I also turned on iCloud Drive.
Neither of these are Podcasts and I do not have any Podcasts on my device.
The message is a really poor warning, it could for instance list the IP address which would immediately tell me if it was me.
It could list what type of device it was.
It could list what Podcast was downloaded.
But no, just some random message, probably generated by the really bad default iPhone settings that put ease of use before security.
I have a long complex password that I do not want ot have to change just because Apple generates a stupid message.
On Google you have a log of all logins and devices, is there something similar with Apple, so I can figure this out?

I have not down downloaded any podcasts and there are no podcasts in the podcasts app, of course if Apple were to list the podcast that was downloaded, the IP address and the device it might help one dismiss the message.
I am running the latest v8.1.1 although how the version of my OS related to a message generated by Apple servers is beyond me, unless my device is not authenticating properly so Apple thinks I am someone else but then as I have not downloaded any Podcasts that would not seem to be the issue.
It does NOT say you downloaded a podcast. First, podcasts are not downloaded from the App Store; they are downloaded from the iTunes store.
It's very clear to me; the app named "Podcasts" was downloaded, not a podcast. "Podcasts" is a app provided by Apple for managing and downloading podcasts.

First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

Error cannot use device the connected USB device requires too much power this error appeared when I added my camera

Error appeared when I connected my camera to iPad I used a camera connection device error cannot use device t he connected USB device requires too much power
Thanking you
Wendy Banks

Some cameras are designed to use the power suppled via USB when they're plugged into another device, usually a PC or laptop. The iPad does not supply sufficient power for a camera. The iPad Camera kit allows for either a camera to be plugged in only for the transfer of photos, not as a power sourse, or the removal of the SD Card from a camera so it can transfer photos as an alternative.

I cannot find OS x mavericks 10.9.0 in the app store and I cannot download a newer version because it requires 10.9.0

I cannot find OS x mavericks 10.9.0 in the app store and I cannot download a newer version because it requires 10.9.0. I have looked everywhere and its really annoying. I know it was taken off the app store when 10.9.10 came out but I need it to get 10.9.4 so I can play Total War Shogun 2. any help to get 10.9.4 would be appreciated.

It's no longer available. Unless Apple says otherwise, which they probably won't, you need to upgrade to Yosemite instead.

Can I get a direct download link other than from app store

Try opening the Terminal utility in your system and running the following command to open the system's caches folder:
open $TMPDIR../C
Then locate and remove the folder called "com.apple.appstore" and then try relaunching the App Store and downloading the installer again.

I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".
