Can't connect to Mac App Store

I dumped my app store app by mistake, how do I replace it?

I was having this same issue.
After upgrading my early 2010 iMac to Mountain Lion, I found several issues. I couldn't connect to the app store, finder kept freezing and would require relaunch, could not connect to itunes, safari crashed upon every attempt to use, etc. So I attempted to update my software, yet with the app store failing to function, I couldn't.
I verified and repaired my disk and permissions through the disk utility.
Yet I still could not connect to the app store or itunes. I found it referenced somewhere that Keychain First Aid could potentially resolve the issue. That has thus far resolved the issue for me.
Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
In the menu, under Keychain Access, select Keychain First Aid.
Verify, and then repair.
Hope this helps!

  • Can't connect to Mac App Store after upgrade to OSX 10.9

    After upgrading to Mavericks, I cannot log into the Mac App store to update/purchase the apps on my MacBook Pro with Retina.  I have two Apple ID's.  With one I can connect to the Mac App Store.  When I use the other ID it just hangs at the login box and does nothing.  I need to use both ID's as I have software updates for both.  Thanks for your assistance.

  • Can not connect to mac app store

    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion on my early 2008 MacBook Pro.  Now, each time I go to the App Store, it either displays can not connect to the Mac App Store, or if it does, the store is very slow and I can not download any apps.  I'm not sure why this is happening.  Any thoughts?

    Hey sanchocan,
    If you find that you are unable to connect to the Mac App Store, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Specifically the sections titled Troubleshoot issues on a Mac and Learn more.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,

  • Can not connect to the app store

    Hi all,
    I hope one will be able to give me more help than the apple support team.
    I've installed the update on my two computers.
    On the IMac it is working fine in several account.
    On my MacBook Pro, the app is stuck on"Can not connect to the app store".
    I've tried the suggestions of the help menu, and from some discussions. I even reinstalled the ocmbo update.
    Nothing happens.
    If somebody has some clue?
    Thanks in advance.

    HI and welcome...
    Download and install the v10.6.6 combo update available here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
    Then repair permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done.
    If you see any warnings re: SUID messages, they can be safely ignored, information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US

  • Since upgrading to yosemite, I can't connect to the app store (or icloud).

    I have a Macbook air, early 2014.
    Since upgrading to Yosemite, can't connect to the App Store (Message: Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance. ) or to iCloud ( You can’t sign in at this time. Try signing in again.).
    I have another Macbook air (late 2013)  running mavericks that is connecting without any problem. I can also login in two different iPads (iOS 8), one iPhone (iOS 8) and in icloud.com.
    Have spent more than one hour with support on the phone. Tried safe boot, login with a different apple id, reseting pram,  running disk utility... No success.
    I could upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.1 by restarting without the need to insert the apple id, so I am with the latest version running. Still no success.
    Any ideas ?
    Many thanks,
    Alysson

    If you haven't already done so, please connect to a different network, such as a public hotspot, and test. Otherwise, see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • My new iPhone 4S can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi. Works with 3G network. How to fix this?

    My new iPhone 4S (week old) can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi (and some other apps e.g. Hollister – but most of the other apps like Safari or ebay work fine). There is no problem with those apps loading via 3G network. When I turn off the wi-fi, it runs over 3G and i can access App store without any problem. When i turn off the 3G network and turn the Wi-Fi on, those apps like App Store won't work, other apps work fine. When i turn on both Wi-Fi and 3G, the App store (and so on) is also not working, other apps are.
    I also found out that when the Wi-fi is on and I sign out my apple ID, the App store starts working! But when I log in again, it will imediatelly stop working. I've tried logging in with others apple IDs, still with the same result. There is no problem with my apple ID account, because it works on my iPad, even via Wi-Fi.
    When i first set up my iPhone, there were no complications using App store ia Wi-fi with exactly the same account. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but this problem started when i logged in with my UK account and then wanted to log back in with my Czech account.
    I tried turning it off, hard reset and deleting my iPhone several time (even without back up). Nothing worked since then.
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
    I would really appreciate ANY help. This porblem is driving me crazy!

    I am also having the same issue. Please help!

    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x

    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

  • I can't access the mac app store even though I have 10.6.8!

    I have a MacBook 1.83GHz and I have just downloaded 10.6.8 and I have the mac app store in my dock but it has a line through it and says I need 10.7 to open it. Before downloading 10.6.8 I still had it in my dock but it said i needed 10.6.8 to open it.... I am really confused why I need 10.7 to open it as i thought you needed 10.6.8! How can i get the mac app store working!!???

    You don't have the Snow Leopard version. Perhaps you didn't install Snow Leopard since you cannot download it. You must purchase it:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.

  • Can't download the mac app store?

    I went to ''Software Update'' and everything, and it still isn't working. I've done it over and over. Please help.

    You didn't say what operating system you have, however, assume you have Snow Leopard 10.6, since OS X Leopard 10.5 and earlier can't access the mac app store.
    You need to have OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard or later for the mac app store application to work. You can download the combo 10.6.8 update from  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 which will have the mac app store application included.
