  • Mac App Store login fails, but Apple ID/password is correct.

    OK, I just went to get an App, and login failed repeatedly (5 times). In between, I went to iTunes and opened up my account info, which required login, which worked. Same on iCloud on my browser.
    Now, I go back about 10 minutes later, and now suddenly the Mac App Store login works.
    Weird.

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • Can't Purchase anything in App Store, Additional Security Information Needed

    I am trying to make a purchase from the App Store in Snow Leopard 10.6.8, but can't make any purchases. When I try to purchase, I get the message, "Additional security information is needed. To use this Apple ID you must first login to the my info web page then provide additional security information." But when I click on Update Security Info, it brings me to a page at https://myinfo.apple.com/ but the page will not load, and it says that Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server. I have also tried it in Firefox and it does not work there either.
    I went to the Apple Store online, and updated my account info with the proper credit card and information, but it has not helped. What is going on here.
    This is for my bosses account and not my account, and we need to purchase some software for this machine, but are completely unable.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm having the same issue.  We have recently signed up for the Volume Purchase Program.  I created the Facilitator account, logged into the VPP site, then got a message that additional information was needed.
    When I click the link to "Update Security Info", I get an error page on the browser...
    I have tried the same process in Firefox and received a similar message...
    I then proceeded to try the same thing on a Windows 7 computer with Internet Explorer, no good...
    Next, I thought the problem might be related to my firewall, so, I attempted it on a computer OUTSIDE the firewall, no good.
    Then, I tried it from home on my ipad, no good...
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • IPhone 5S cannot make purchase with App Store (login issue)

    Ok - I am rather irritated.  I tried to purchase a 99 cent app, and upon tapping the purchase button, the App Store insisted that I enter my Apple ID password (what happened to using your fingerprint, which worked when I bought the phone?).  Ok - so I enter the correct password.
    I am then confronted with another window that states that I need to confirm my ID - and it has me enter my password again - then says I need to answer two security questions... which I did.  It tells me I did not answer one or both correctly and to try again.  I again entered what I absolutely KNOW is the correct info - and it repeatedly gave the same message... until it finally said I would be locked out from making any further purchases, and to contact customer support.
    Funny - I can log in using iTunes on my MacBook Pro and am having no issues whatsoever with that.  I can view my account, make purchases, etc.
    So what gives?

    I have no idea what the deal is - but I somehow "fixed" this... I manually logged in to my apple ID on my MacBook Pro, went to the security section and confirmed my security question answers (I had them right, just as I thought).  Closed out that page, went back to my iPhone and simply tapped the "go" button again (same answers, same questions) - and it logged in just fine...
    Must have been an App Store glitch...

  • App store login - not working since Mavericks update

    All,
    Since I updated to Mavericks, I find I am unable to log into the App Store. I get the login pane OK, enter my credentials, then get a spinner that waits... and waits... And never works.
    The Apple ID I am using is good - iTunes likes it fine, and I'm using it to post this. Just the App Store, and only since the Mavericks update; indeed I used the Apple ID to install Mavericks...
    Google tells me I am not the only one seeing this - but the suggested fixes do not seem to work for me. Do we know if a "proper" actual official fix wil be forthcoming?
    Indeed, do Apple acknowledge that some folks are having a problem with this?
    Anyway, in case anyone else stumbles onto this one:
    - There are many threads suggesting that deleting the network plist helps (though did not for me)
    - For some, deleting /Users/ian/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist helps (though not for me...)
    - and so on.
    What "works" for me, albeit as a workaround, is to create a new user account on the machine, and use that to access the App Store - with the same ID etc., but this time it works. At least one time, so far!
    I'd much rather my regular account Just Worked.
    Any of the accounts (myself, wife, etc.) on the machine before the Mavericks upgrade however; they can not log into the App Store any more.
    No Idea why not; presumably "something" changed in the updates and that broke the login in some way; though why iTunes et al appear unaffected is less clear!

    Just an update to note that, after leaving it alone for a while, I tried the app store again today and it now works from my regular account once again.
    Which is nice...
    No idea what changed in the meantime, but at least it appears to be working.

  • Cannot Connect to App Store / Establish Secure Server Connection

    I've seen a lot of posts on this:
    App Store Error: "Cannot Connect to the App Store" (No Internet Connection)
    Google (or any other https://) Site Error: "Cannot Establish a Secure Server Connection"
    My OS is 10.8.5.
    Obviously, I've checked that I have an internet connection. FireFox works... non-secure (http://) sites work... I'm starting to pull my hair out.
    These are all suggestions from posts that I've seen. Some worked for some people, but not me!
    I've checked that my Date & Time are correct, as suggested.
    I've created a new Network Location in my Network System Prefs. Nope. Didn't help.
    I've gone thru every Certificate in my Utilities / Keychain Access and eliminated all the blue '+'s'.
    I've deleted every *.plist file from my Preferences that I thought might help. Nada. Still no App Store, no Google.
    THEN, a Mac epiphany:
    Go back to Date & Time Preferences
    Under the Date & Time tab - check the box "Set date and time automatically:" (you probably do. I did. But make sure.)
    Under the Time Zone tab - check the box "Set time zone automatically..." AHH HA! I didn't have it checked.
    Now a message comes up - something like, you don't have your Location Services enabled... hmm.
    Go to: System Prefs > Security & Privacy
    Under the Privacy tab - check the box "Enable Location Services" (You may have to unlock [paddlelock in lower left] to make changes)
    That did it. App Store instantly loaded as well as https:// google.
    For those who have tried all the other posted suggestions - before you pull the rest of your hair out - this is one more thing to try.
    Hope it helps.

    Ignore.

  • 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!

    Hello Beijing iMac,
    To help resolve this issue where you're receiving the error "Your Device or computer could not be verified" please follow the directions below.  There are a few more steps to go through after deleting the networkinterfaces.plist file.
    Use the following steps to delete your network preferences. 
    Important: You must be logged in as an administrator.
    Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
    Choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Copy the file networkinterfaces.plist to the desktop (to make a precautionary backup).
    Delete the file "networkinterfaces.plist." from SystemConfiguration.
    Restart your Mac.
    Create new location in Network preferences, in System Preferences.
    Once your computer has restarted, you will need to refresh your network settings to be able to connect to the Internet again:
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Network from the View menu.
    From the Location pop-up menu, choose "New Location".
    Type a name for your location and click OK.
    Click the Apply Now at the bottom right to accept the changes.
    If your network connection requires any special settings, you will need to enter them again.

  • App Store login results in "An unknown error has occurred"

    When I'm trying to login into the app store, I'm always getting the error "An unknown error has occured".
    I tried to use a different login and the result is always the same.
    I'm able to login into iTunes from the same machine, I'm able to login into this forums and I was able to associate the MacBook into the same apple id.
    Why is the App Store the only thing that is not working?
    Thanks,
    L. Pinho

    I solved it (found an entry in another forum).
    Delete the NetworkInterfaces.plist file, that's it...
    Why? I don't have any idea

  • How to change Mac App Store Login for Updating Apps

    I purchased a used Macbook from a local computer retailer; when they installed Mavericks and setup the account they used their Mac ID. Now it's showing updates for Keynote, Numbers, Pages, and iMovie but if I choose Update it prompts their username and wont let me change it. I assume those apps are connected to that account so it wont let me update. Is there a way to change the associated login to mine or is it safe for me to remove them and reinstall using my ID? I wasn't sure if they were core apps that would cause any damage if removed and I really dont want to format and start over. Thanks for the help!

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It is not safe to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1a. If you don't own another Mac
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    1b. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    2. Partition and install OS X
    If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In thePartition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    3. Other issues
    If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

  • App store login remembered after factory reset

    A friend gave me his Ipad 2 which he had just reset to default factory settings.
    I turned it on and started going through the process of language setting , location etc and skipping the registration, I was amazed to see that when I opened the app store, there was my Apple login name. ( Not his but mine ! ) .
    How could this happen ?
    It's not a problem but I'm facinated how it could have happened .
    Can the device have picked it up from the wireless network ?
    I do have several other apple devices including a MBA and iphone and another Ipad but how could the login have been retrieved from them ?
    Amazed !!

    Hopefully, you saved a copy of that ill-designed installer which deletes itself during the installationi process, necessitating wasting resource DLing it over and over again. Sheer madness and toatlly anit-green in behavior.
