Blocked by AppStore

I seem to be blocked by the Mac App Store... this is new, never happened before. I've tried everything I know how to do, can anyone help me ? I'm on a IMac with a 10.6.8 Mac OS X . I wanted to download Lion on the IMac, I have it on my MBP (it took almost 4 hours!). What can I do to get into the app store??

Are you signed in (under Quicklinks on "Features" tab)? If so, go to the "Purchased" tab and Lion should be available for download. There's also a Support section that might help.
Good luck!

Block app in Appstore

Does application with Ad content (frame) the quiz of which will be given a discount on an application or subscription on magazine in AppStore or newsstand will be blocked in the AppStore?

I'm still not sure what you are asking. Do you mean can adverts that appear in apps offer discounts on other apps ? If you do then I'm not sure if that is possible - if you are a developer then you could try asking in the developer forums : https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa

Blocked plug-in sign on safari after trying repeatedly to download new version of flash

downloaded the new flash, and now it wont work on safari. Never had a problem with it before. I tried installing the unistaller but can't find it in downloads( I made sure that downloads went to the download folder). i tried all the other links for downloading flash-they didnt work. it does work on google crome. I prefer safari, so I would like it to work on that browser. I get the blocked (plug-in) sign.
NPAPI Plug-in version 15.0.0.152 is installed
PPAPI Plug-in is not installed

If you want to update the OS, you initiate the download through the AppStore. That said, someone tried this yesterday and it didn't resolve the issue for them.
We tested the upgrade scenario and blocklist functionality on a MacOS 10.6.8 machine and are unable to reproduce the symptoms, but we believe that they exist. We don't know what the common denominator is yet, though.
I'm wondering if a complete uninstall and reinstall of Flash Player might solve it:
Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS
Then run the installer again.

After downloading iOS 7 I can't use my AppStore as another language than english appears...

After downloading iOS 7 I can't use my AppStore as another language than english appears... I am getting frustred!

I don't know if this helps, but I experienced a similar issue with my iPad 2 after updating to iOS 7.
My "solution" to the problem, after pulling out my hair for hours, is to plug it in the wall charger, and then shut the iPad down completely. It does charge when turned off, although a bit slower than usual, or so it seems. Pheeew...:-) I realize that this is a pain if you have a problem with an iPhone, because you have to turn it off to charge it. Presuming that this works, of course. Otherwise, I don't know..
After the update, the iPad simply does not respond when i plug in the charger, nor does it connect to the USB port. The battery just keeps wearing down. I think it could be connected to the firmware change that iOS 7 brings, which I guess in itself has to do with Apple wanting to block out 3rd party manufacturers of power adapters of the new "lightning" type.
The only thing I can think of that might have gone wrong on my part concerning the update is that I didn't have it plugged in while installing the update - although I believe this is recommended from Apple. I'm thinking that in my case the new firmware update simply hasn't registered any adapter present upon installation, and that might have caused the iPad to not recognize an adapter at all, regardless of type. I have always used original Apple adapters, btw, so I'm not really guilty of anything other than not plugging it in while updating - or, at least that's my own theory. Which is better than no theory at all.. ;-)
Obviously, I'm waiting eagerly for Apple to solve this issue. Not really happy at all with this..

Block callers

How to block callers on my iphone

This problem is easy to resolv, and lots of apps can do call blocking, but Apple for some reason dont allow Them In AppStore. Apple defenately know this, and should free the apps In AppStore that can help their customers. They dont have to create an app, just realease the apps that have existed for years and are working perfectly.

AppStore does not allow downloading Chrome

Does anyone else have the same problem and preferrably a solution for this
Leaving aside all the stupid changes Apple's new management has allowed to ruin user experience (except swipe in iOS7), does anybody have the same problem that AppStore blocks download of Chrome in iPhone4/4S? I end up with the following problem with iOS6/iOS7.
With iOS6
Chrome is visible in Store, and installing starts normally like with any application, BUT: AppStore downloads the app for a while and then suddenly claims connection to AppStore lost (or something similar). I tested immediately another application and no problem, it had to do something with server (for sure)
Since my iPhone 4S with iOS6 was like **** compared to my iPhone 4S with iOS5, I installed iOS7 hoping for a new start.
With iOS7
This time Appstore allows me to proceed one step further: I get all the way to approval of the new user term (this 59 page legal document nobody really reads and cannot be thus considered legally binding ... well ... at least in my country)
BUT, there is only a cancel button!! How the %¤#"! am I supposed to get forwards as there is NO button to approve and proceed ?!?!?
Almost like someone would deliberately try blocking Chrome usage in iPhone, but obviously it is not that, just a software feature.
Any solution to fix this, other than going for Samsung and Android?

Please feel free to leave.

Cant update, keep getting "Can't connect to the Apple Software Update server." on Appstore

Hi,
From last 1 week I am getting this error.
I tried following:
1. Restart mac book several times - did not work
2. Tried connecting to different wifi networks - did not work
3. Deleted appstore and one more .plist files and restarted - did not work
4. Did Maverics restore using option R at startup - did not work
Please let me know what is wrong. Any pointers will be really appreciated.
Thanks
Sumeet

Is there any way I can prevent any such thing and is there a way what information might have been pushed out using this iWorm. What measures do I need to take now?
Answered in part in my last comment, and see also below.
Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is foremost a problem of human behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software.
☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the left side of the address bar when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

Hey Apple (: Just wondering if i block the facebook and twitter on my ipod touch with a password will is effect the password on the app store ?

Hey Apple (: Just wondering if i block my facebook and twitter on my ipod with a password does this password effect the app store password or can they be different ?

I did not blocked it . My mum did she got the people from the store to do it but i'm just worried that the password she use to block those sites might effect the password for my appstore. So you're saying that it won't effect and that i can use a different password ?

Is trapcall a good service? I found the app to see who blocked a number

is trapcall a good service. I found the app to see who is blocking a number. These calls are annoying. Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Hi danadixon77, thank you for your reply. I followed your instructions and put that file in the trash basket, Restarted "Is thaat the same as Reboot" the computer and am still getting the same appstore quit etc as before. Should I empty the trash basket or put back that file?

Every time I want to download an app From AppStore when I start downloading it after I write my password there is warning that says to me that it isn't possible right now to download power DVD mobile even now were this app is deleted from my ipad

Every time I want to download an app From AppStore when I start downloading it after I write my password there is warning that says to me that it isn't possible right now to download power DVD mobile even now were this app is deleted from my ipad

The power DVD app is active, and seems to download ok. You have already deleted the app?
I suspect what is happeneing is that a download is in your queue, and is blocking the queue until it completes, thus the message every time you try to do a down load. It may be failing because while it thinks you have the app, it is not finding it, and doesn't know what to do. ( sounds like a poorly designed download).
I think the way around this might be for you to resync with your iTunes, and let it reload the app onto your pad. Let it complete the download. Then, if you do not want the app, delete it again from your pad, and if you never want it, from I tunes as well.
The next time they do an update, you may wind up in the same situation, so if it happens again, until they fix the download routine, you will get stuck again.
So try the suggestion, and see if this clears it out.
The other option would be to open your account in I tunes on your computer, let it complete the download there.

For the last 2 days I have been unable to connect to the AppStore or iTunes via either my iPhone/iPad or MacBook over wifi.

I have spoken to my ISP (Sky) and they haven't got a clue.
I cannot connect to iTunes/AppStore on any of my 3 devices (iPhone/iPad/MacBook) when connected to my home broadband yet I have no issues over 3G on my iPhone.
I also cannot play YouTube videos on iPhone/iPad via the app or the website but have no issues on my MacBook. I have done all of the usual things like rebooted devices, reset network setting and all settings. I would restore but that isn't going to go so well if my MacBook won't talk to iTunes is it?
In all my years I have never had an issue like this before, it HAS to be down to my ISP right?
Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
So far I have reset and rebooted my router, the firewall is as default, no blocked sites etc
Sky don't have a clue what I'm talking about so can't really help me.
Just don't get it :(
