Apple ID & Mac App Store

I just got my mac. I try to login to the Mac App Store, and I am told that my Apple ID hasn't been used yet with the iTunes Store. It says, "Please review your account information."
So, I go and adjust the necessary settings in my account information, and after I get to the billing part, I select PayPal and go through the steps there and sign the online agreement between PayPal and iTunes. However, then a new window opens and it tells me to wait, but I'm never able to finish reviewing my account information or whatever comes after.
I need to figure out how to get my Apple ID to work with the Mac App Store, but I'm in that imbroglio. Help would be splendid.

Hi! I gave this a shot, but I'm still having the same problem. Also tried logging in and out again, and double checked in my system preference --> App Store to see if I was still signed in under my Apple ID.

Does apple check mac app store apps for viruses and malware?

Are all of the apps submitted to the Mac App Store check to make sure they dont have viruses in them? I just wanted to make sure before i go and start downloading a lot of applications from there.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Yes all apps in the MAS are virus free.

Any Apple related (Mac app store, itunes, software update) doesn't connect

First recently I had a problem with Mac app store. "Store News" a free app showed on my update tab but I've never downloaded that app before. It was not even installed on my mac or showing under my apps. The worst was when I clicked on update button for the app it asked for another account to login. I could not update the app or remove it because for this app that weird account was required! I asked for Apple support and they told me to get help from the developer. I did and they were amazing but the problem was not the app but Mac app store was hacked! And Apple doesn't admit that so they suggested me to kill my mac and reinstall my system! I didn't (yet!) because I heard about one big update at app store before Lion and thought "maybe this solve everything!". BUT when I tried to get software update it didn't connect. After trying to update my system, neither app store and itunes connect.
My internet connection is working fine, I can browse, download, mail works fine. BUT I cannot connect to software update, itunes or app store. Why?
So I manually downloaded the 10.6.8 combo update and installed hoping I could get things back to normal. Even after the update I still can't connect those services. Anybody having the same issue?
Thanks.

... i think Jason is referring to Apple Software Update for Windows, and is checking to see if that is working properly for him:

You cannot transfer any purchases made using the old Apple ID to the new one. Either you repurchase them under the new Apple ID or see if Apple can transfer them for you.

HT4928 My Mac App Store account page does not show any options for unhiding purchases.

I purchased Mountain Lion and want to re-download it to make a flash drive, but it does not appear in my purchase history. Clicking Option-Purchases doesn't change anything, and my Mac App Store account info page does not have anything regarding hidden purchases, although my iTunes account info page does. They are using the same Apple ID.

My Mac App Store game keeps shutting down

I downloaded the game Evac last night from the Mac App Store. Its a kind of Pacman clone just more "modern" and "puzzly".
I absolutely loved it, but today it wont start. It asks me whether or not to "Restore windows" like it crashed or something last time i used it. I don't think it did, but anyway I've tried restarting several times, deleting it, re-downloading it, etc. and still it keeps asking me if I want to restore windows.
I havent changed a thing on my computer since yesterday.
I cant find any help about it anywhere - the gamecompany's website contains no help at all.
I am wondering if there's a preferences file somewhere that i can delete to stop it from saying this restore windows thing.
I've have looked in the preferences folder under ~/library and there is no pref file that even slightly sounds like Evac or Hexage as the company is called.
Somebody Heeelp...
PS. everything is up-to-date on my MBP.

Hi...
I found the app developer's website and an email address for them.
Click here > [email protected]
That should open a new Mail window for you. If not, copy and paste the email address to a new mail window for your email client.
Their website is here .> http://www.hexage.net/evac/index.html

Can't follow a link to the mac App Store

If I click on a link that will be taking me to the mac app store (not the itunes one) I end up at "install the app store..."
I have it installed, I can be logged in and still I cannot follow a link, I end up having to search for whatever I was aiming for manually.
All my software is up to date, my machine is a newish iMac.

I don't have one to hand, sorry, but I will see what I can find.
Okay, just googled one - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/compartments/id402352687?mt=12
I click on the "view in the mac app store" and it takes me to http://www.apple.com/mac/app-store/?id=402352687 which for me is the Apple page describing the Mac App Store and advising me to download and install it.

HT4461 Why do I have to repurchase apps I already own through the Mac App Store to get updates there?

It's a simple question but I cannot find an answer. I just know you can't. It makes no sense to not allow us to even purchase an update at a lower cost as opposed to repurchasing the app from the app store at the full cost. Can anyone say why this is the case? It makes me not want to ever use the app store.

I get that, but that's not the point. What I am saying is that the customer experience is poor. It should work the same as it used to when you bought software from a brick and mortar store.
When you buy an app (software) from a sellers website, you should be able to purchase an upgrade from any vendor. This means even though I bought an app like OmniPlan direct from the OmniGroup... It would be nice to purchase the upgrade, or even download the update from Apple's Mac App Store.
It just makes for a better customer experience.

Why can I not have the MAC app store application with my software update?

Why can I not have the MAC app store application with my software update?

You need to be running v10.6 Snow Leopard.

You can upgrade to Snow Leopard for $29.00 if your Mac meets the minimum requirements.

Mac App Store update: right Apple ID but wrong user account

My Mac App Store updates get associated to the wrong user account but the correct Apple ID.
I live in Germany and have an iMac and a MacBook Pro, both purchased under Snow Leopard and now running Lion 10.7.2. Just after upgrading to Lion I "purchased" a free App (BibleReader 5.0.0). This morning I logged into my wife's user account on the MacBook Pro, and the App Store icon flagged an update. I switched to my user account and was surprised to see that the update wasn't flagged there. By listing my purchases I did suceed in finding an "update" button for BibleReader, but pressing it resulted in a (German) error message whch translates as "An update is available for another account. Please log in with the account you used to purchase the App". But that is what I had just done.
Intrigued I went back to my wife's user account. By logging onto the Mac App Store with my Apple ID from my wife's user account I did manage to update the app. Later at work I got the same error message on the iMac. But this time the only other user account on the machine belongs to Computing Services: I don't have their password and I ought not to use admin rights to gain access to their account. So I can't perform the upgrade on the iMac.
All family iTunes / App Store purchases are via my main Apple ID. My wife's user account on the MacBook Pro only exists so that I can manually synchronise our iCloud address books (she has an iPad).
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
All the applications you purchase on the App Store are registered to your Apple ID, so you have to use your Apple ID to update them, or you have to purchase those applications again using the Apple ID they are using on that computer, so they will be able to update them

How do i buy an app on the mac app store with my apple account balance?

when i try to buy an ap it tries to get my credit card info. i dont want to use a credit card because ive already got alot on my acount balance and just recently when i bought my mac yesterday they gave me a free student 65£ voucher.

Hi there,
Sometimes, you need to enter Credit Card info, even if you are using account balence. Make sure you sign-in to your account on the mac app store, or enter your Apple ID in System Preferences under Users and Groups.
Also make sure you have redeemed that code.

Apple ID is not working in mac app store

When I try to sign in and/or buy at the Mac App Store on my Mac desktop, I get an "An Unknown Error Has Occured" every time (after restarts, password reset, etc). My Apple ID works on my iPhone, iPad, iTunes, here on Apple Communities, and I can see my Apple ID profile and info at the Apple website.
Anyone have any ideas? I want to upgrade to the latest OS X, but I can't... Apple doesn't even sell it at the store on DVD/CD anymore. Please help!!

Thanks for the reply.
I don't have networkinterfaces.plist - went thru Library>Preferences and manually scanned all my .plist files there and I searched for all files with a similar name and nothing appeared. To be sure, I did remove some .plist files that looked like it could be, trashed them, restarted. I get the same error message.
