App store will not accept my Apple ID for updates after installing Mavericks?

I have recently installed Mavericks on my Macbook Pro.  After installing it the two new updates for iPhoto and iMovie popped up.  I click on the 'update' icon and I am prompted for my Apple ID as usual.  After entering the correct ID the prompt disappears as if correct, but then re-appears asking for the password again.  The prompt does not actually say that the wrong Apple ID or password has been entered.  The updates do not install and the prompt remains.  I know I have the right ID because I can install other apps using the same ID.  I definitley have the right Apple ID.  Now I cannot open iPhoto because it says that the application is not compatible with the OS!  Has anyone got any tips on how to install these new updates and get around this error?  Any help would be appreciated.

Following the info from support I enrolled into something called Mac Up to Date program, then you give them your serial number, invoice, etc... and then they seem to review the information and decide whether you qualify or not. I am still waiting for the answer, but I seem to be eligible (bought my new iMac on the 2nd of October and a few days after it was announced that all new Macs would receive iWork for free, so I guess my computer qualifies as 'new' - it is a late 2013 model after all).
But right now all iWork apps still appear to me as paid apps on the Mac App Store. It would be much easier if they appeared as free apps right away, but it seems the Mac App Store is a bit temperamental. And then there is the problem with the iMovie and iPhoto updates, which some of us are unable to get and that it is not even generally acknowledged by the support staff.
All these issues with the App Store are surprising for a company that takes pride in making things 'easy'

  • Installed Maverick. App Store will not accept my Apple ID

    Need help with the Apple ID in the App Store. It works fine in everything else as well as different devices. After install it showed I needed to upgrade iTunes which I pit in my Apple ID and it downloaded. Now it wants Pages, Keynote and Numbers to upgrade but it won't accept the Apple ID. 

    Open App Store, click on the Support link under Quick Links on the right side. Request help there.

  • App store will not accept my Apple ID Password

    I try to connect to the app store to download and app or update existing app
    i click on "get" for a free application downloadm the system just keep on asking me for password , it seems that for 3-5 sec it starts the download process and then again it asks for the password
    I try to use "wrong" password and i get "wrong password" notice, so i know that i am using the rigth passward - it just wouldnt connect.
    i try to "open" the option to use my fingure recognition optino for App - this is also asking for the password and go back to "close" and wouldnt allow me to use it.

    Test your Apple ID & Password at id.apple.com.  Click on Manage Apple ID, and then sign in.  If it works, then try this.  Close the app.  Restart the device.  Open the app up again and try to log in.
    If the password doesn't work at id.apple.com, then reset the password.
    Also, take a moment to double-check that it really is the exact same Apple ID.  I've seen issues were there was a misspelling and someone ended up with two very, very similar Apple IDs ( example:  'b•••••@g•••••.com & b•••••@g•••••.comz)

  • 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 will not accept my debit card

    Every time I try to verify my payment type, it will not accept any of my payment types -- tried 3 different debit cards.

    Make sure that the billing adress and the card owner's name are right. also check if the security code is right. Also don't share your credit card or personal information with anyone to prevent fraud.

  • Help! App Store will not accept new terms/conditions

    Howdy!  I have a MBP early 2011 with 8GB RAM and it has OS X 10.7.5.
    It has been working well, but today I note that it will not Download via the App store. I get stuck in an endless loop, where I see a drop down menu saying "Terms and Conditions Have Changed" and when I do the usual thing and accept terms, I sometimes get to the Thank-you page, sometimes back to the sale page, but INVARIABLY the store REFUSES to accept that I accepted terms!
    That makes it hard to upgrade!
    I have repaired permissions, and repired the disk (didn't need repairs). I have upgraded to 10.7.5, and I have cold rebooted.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    The iTunes and Mac App Store / iCloud problem spontaneously resolved for me as of 21:54 Pacific Standard Time on 9/30/2012.
    Someone at Apple was aware of and fixed the problem. Finally.
    Yeah!

  • App store will not accept password to apply updates

    I have a MacBook Pro (v10.8), an iPad Mini (v7.1.2) and an iPhone 5 (v7.1.2).  About 2 months ago, we began experiencing serious issues trying to get these devices to accept the our Apple ID password.  Its not that its being rejected as an incorrect password, rather instead, it seems to ignore the entry and pops up with multiple retry screens.  I've signed out of my iTunes account, performed a hard reboot, and successfully sign back into the account.  But when I attempt to update my apps from the App Store, it seems to ignore my password entry, after briefly showing "install", and immediately returns to "update" mode.  Click on "Update", and the problem repeats.  Also, when I attempt to access Pages documents stored in the Cloud, it again ignores my password.  I tried chatting with Apple Support last night, to no avail.

    What does that mean exactly? Did the Apple representative tell you that you could never use the App Store again on any of your devices, and nothing could be done about it?

  • App store will not accept password for updates but will for purchases.

    Please advise.

    Thanks... I did try that.  To add to the mess, I just saw some update on my Macbook Air App Store and it did the same as on my iphone.  I would not accept my new password. 
    I then saw that my iphone had some updates.  I requested to update all.  It asked for my password and I entered it.  It downloaded some of the update but not others and also gave me the message that I put in the wrong password.
    Still confused.  Thanks for your help.

    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 ID.
