  • Cannot Connect to Mac App Store

    When I open the MAS, I get a "Cannot Connect to the App Store" alert in the window.
    When I try to signin, I receive a red "Connection failed" message in the signin dialog box.
    When I go to Software Update from the Apple Menu, I receive a notice that "Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again."
    When I click on the Network Diagnostics button presented and go through the diagnostic, my network reports operating perfectly.
    When I go to an app on the iTunes web-storefront click on the "View in Mac App Store" button, the MAS launches, but I get the same connection error.
    I can sign in to the iTunes store. I can update software on my iDevices by using the iOS App Store. I have no problems there. It's just the MAS.
    Apple support articles say:
    If you’re having trouble using App Store, try these solutions:
    If you see a message that your computer can’t connect to App Store, make sure your Internet connection is working. If you can open a web browser and view a website, there may be a problem with the store. Try using App Store again later. [I've been trying for two days, and there aren't a lot of issues like this on the first page of the discussions section, so I think it's probably not a common error at the  moment...]
    Make sure your computer’s date, time, and time zone are set correctly in Date & Time preferences. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Date & Time. [These are correct.]
    Make sure your Apple ID information is accurate and that you don’t need to correct a problem with a previous purchase. To verify your Apple ID information and review your purchase history, choose Store > View My Account or click Account in the Quick Links section. [I can't connect in the app, so...]
    If you’re still having trouble, click Support in the Quick Links section. [I couldn't find QuickLinks, but no other support article seems to be availlable to help this problem.]
    I have restarted my computer, I have removed the App Store with AppDelete and reinstalled from the Lion 10.7.4 Client Combo. I've got no change.
    I did notice that the MAS window menu reports the name of the window as "Firenze", which seems weird to me. Can anyone advise me?

    Hi ..
    Fist, uninstall Fingerpop beta > http://www.finderpop.com/manual/210/title.html
    "/Library/ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax"
    Next, open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/ScirptingAdditions
    Click Go
    Move the  SIMBL.osax files from the ScriptingAddtions folder to the Trash
    Try the App Store.

  • I cannot connect any skype accounts on my Eurostar...

    Hello.  I have tried for a number of days now to connect 'preloaded' skype on my Eurostar Smart TV.  I have used my existing account details and also tried with my Microsoft account, but no joy.  I have also tried to create a new skype account on my tv.
    All these things respond with the message 'cannot connect to skype at this time, please check your mobile settings and try again'.
    I am connected to my wireless router and have a good internet connection.
    Can anyone help?  This TV was bought for my kids playroom so they can skype their grandparents as we live a long way from home.
    Thank you

  • Cannot connect to the app store

    Hi all,
    My girlfriend has a macbook air, and wanted to update her computer to Lion. I had no problem doing that on my own macbook pro, but I can't do it on hers. She didn't update her softwares regularly, so at first I found myself having to update a ton softwares so I could finally install the Mac App Store. Once it finished installing though I was never able to actually use it, as when I open the application it just says: "Cannot Connect to the App Store". I looked up online and people had similar problems, and none of the suggested solutions worked:
    - Starting up the computer in "Safe Mode" did not work;
    - Repairing all the permissions in the Disk Utility application did not work;
    - Signing out and in the Mac App Store from the App Store application did not work;
    - The problem is certainly not the internet connection because I was able to update my computer in the same connection, and I can regularly access it on my computer.
    Does anyone have a tip to solve this problem?
    Thank you very very much in advance!

    Thanks cpickrell but no, she is not using any firewall or antivirus program. Any other idea?

  • My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect.

    My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?

    Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store.  Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

    Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....

  • After upgrading to OS 10.8, my Mac App Store is not working. It says: Cannot Connect To The App Store

    After upgrading to OS 10.8, my Mac App Store is not working. It says: Cannot Connect To The App Store. Kindly Help

    Also having that problem - I checked and I am connected to internet (can access other websites or other pages in Apple's website), can login from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) with Mac App Store there, but if I use the (external) drive with ML to start up, no go.
    I can get to the "Featured"/initial MAS page, and tried going to the login from there, but same problem as Mitoshacer.
    In my case, MacBook Pro (2.66GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB external with ML - vs. 320GB internal drive with 10.6.8), March/April 2009 model. Have done searches for the problem online, but nothing shows up (except some for older OS X versions).

    Cannot connect to the App Store.  I am on internet and Safari works just fine.  Ideas?

    I purchased Lion thru the app store and it was deducted from my account.  I cannot download it.  I can download other apps, but it seems like Lion is hung up or something.  I restarted the iMac, have plenty of memory and space but when I hit download, it just says "waiting" then says cannot connect with the app store.
    Thanks for any help.

  • My iPad cannot connect to the app store but my iPhone can, what do I need to do?

    My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps but my iPhone4s can. They were both recently updated to ios6. Whats wrong with this thing?

    So you are saying that after you updated several apps - now you cannot connect to the iTunes or App Stores?
    "My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps"
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
    Or try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    Or this ...
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
