Cannot connect to; Software Update, iTunes or the Mac App Store.

I updated to Lion on launch day and had problems with Software Update, iTunes and the Mac App Store connecting to the internet.
I was completely connected to the interent, so people told me to wait it out as the servers were probably struggling.
However, it's been two weeks and I still get this message:
It's the same with iTunes as well as the mac app store.
I'm at a loss as I can't update my computer.
Anyone else have the same problem?

same problem here
This solution work fine with me :
1. Systems Preferences -> Network
2. Under "Wi-Fi", click on the "Advanced" button.
3. Under the "DNS" tab, add the Google Public DNS - 8.8.8.8
4. Click OK, then click Apply.
5. Turn WiFi OFF, then turn it back ON again.

HT5525 I can't find the updates tab in the mac app store (just updated iTunes)?

I'm trying to purchase a book of photos through iPhoto - it tells me to update iPhoto before I can order the book. My macbook pro is running OSX Lion so it says I can update iPhoto "in the updates tab of the mac app store"... but when I go to the app store in iTunes, there is no updates tab. I then tried the second update option, via software update under the apple menu, but that just updated a bunch of other firmware, not iPhoto.
Can anyone help point me in the direction of the iPhoto '11 update please?

You don't use iTunes for that. Launch the App Store application
that's in your Applicaitons folder, login with your Apple ID and you should be able to update iPhoto.

I just purchased a software upgrade. I received an e-mail that says, "To install your software, you simply launch the Mac App Store, click "Redeem"• found under Quick Links and enter your content code(s)." How do I do this??

I just purchased a software upgrade to OSX Lion. I received an e-mail that says, "To install your software, you simply launch the Mac App Store, click "Redeem"• found under Quick Links and enter your content code(s). How do I "launch the Mac App Store?"

Assuming you are running OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.7.x Lion, 10.8.x Mountain Lion or 10.9.x Mavericks), go to the Apple Menu (top left-hand corner of the screen)>App Store and it should become clear from there.

Why isn't safari 6.04 showing up in the update section of the mac app store?

i am running the latest Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
I ran Software Update and and update under the Mac App Store but there
is no Safari 6.04 but only an update for iPhoto. And there is not Java update
from Apple either.
What gives?
it showed for some people and for some it didn't.
I wonder why?
I hope by the end of the week I can be able to download it from
the Mac App Store.

devnull66, you are a star!
I switched from a my standard account to an administrative account and checked for updates and then they showed up in the App Store. I didn't update yet though. I switched back to my standard account and checked for updates again to see what would happen and there they were so I was able to complete the updates from my standard account.
In my case I also just upgraded from Lion to Miuntain Lion this past weekend. I just did an upgrade in-place over top of Lion, usually I do clean installs with major upgrades. When I switched to the Administrative account, this was the first time since the upgrade, there was a dialogue box on screen asking me if I wanted to log in to my Apple ID. I just clicked continue in this case to continue to my administrative account with out logging in.

How can I update iWork using the Mac app store?

I bought iWork on DVD but would like to get the updates via the Mac app store. How can I do that?

HI Judy...
You can only update software from the Mac App Store if the that is where it was purchsed and downloaded from.
Since you installed from the DVD, your updates should be available from your Apple menu > Software Update.

Update policy of the Mac App store?

Now I am using many Apple devices. And most of the devices have pages. But at the moment my Mac has the Microsoft Office. After Apple announced Mountian Lion, I think it is a great idea to use Pages on my Mac as well. But I think the current of Pages is quite old (09). I am wondering if I buy the Pages 09 from Mac App store, then the new version is released will I be able to upgrade for free? If not, then I will wait for the new Pages to come out. thanks

Guy-CP,
This is a test of "how bad do you want it?". It's $20 at risk. People started worrying about wasting their money on a possibly soon to be obsolete upgrade two years ago. Back then it was an $80 risk, before the App Store.
To me, it's a case of need. If you need Pages 09 to make your work easier, it's easy to justify the purchase cost. If it's an entertainment issue, consider what you spend on other luxuries, make a decision and pull the trigger, or not.

Confused about software i downloaded from the Mac App Store

So yesterday i downloaded the Soundcloud App since i love the way that community and music binds together and i got the app to use it like my main music source since iTunes store is not open in my current area and i can't buy my music. And yesterday i took a look at the plans and stuff since i saw that you are limited to 120 upload and i was confused because i only want to listen to music not upload can someone clear this out for me please ?
Thanks

If you google "soundcloud app" you come up with a lot of links. One of which was this. Hope it helps:

CAN NOT UPDATE ANYTHING ON THE MAC APP STORE?

When I try to update my apps it say's We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)
- I STILL HAVE UPDATES!
HELP!

Not the OP, but I've been having this problem since June (with the exact same error), and logging out and back in hasn't helped.
Helpfully, the store app opens a pop-up every 2 weeks or so to let me know that there are updates I can't access. It's super annoying.

HT202159 Why can't I download anything from the Mac App Store?

I cannot update apps, or download Mountain Lion. It spent time downloading, supposedly, then after it was finished it said it was unable to do so. Tried it three times, same result.
Never experienced this before.

I need to clarify the problem:
software update returns:
The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
The Mac App Store update, download new, or resume returns:
The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again.

I have os 10.6.5, but can't get the mac app store

I would like to access the App Store, and even though I have version 10.6 as stated in the requirements, I don't have it on my computer nor can I run software update to get it as the App Store page suggests. My "About This Mac" window says I'm running 10.6.5, but the "Software Update" button is grayed out and when I hover over it says, "This button is disabled because there is no Software Update application."
Seems to me I'm stuck, as I can't run software update to get the mac app store.
Am I missing something simple?

If the Software Update application is not in your Applications folder, then apparently you've inadvertently done away with it. Downloading and installing the standalone Combo Update, as the previous poster has suggested, may install a new copy of it. If it doesn't, you can reinstall it from your original OS installer DVD using Pacifist:

How do i check the size of an update in the Mac App store update tab?

When an update arrives under the Mac App Store's Updates section, It has all the detail except the Size of that update. Where can I find the size of update I am about to download like Pages or Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update or any other software update?

It isn't listed anywhere of which I am aware.

How do I use my Itunes credit on the Mac App store

I have a credit in iTunes which I wish to use to buy some apps on the Mac App store. However it doesnt seem to be taking that payment method. How do I solve this?

iTunes and the Mac App Store are the same account and credits redeemed for one are available for the other. The issue may be that you have not allowed for the sales tax that the US store applies in the final steps of a sale. US prices do not yet have the local sales tax added. If the credit does nt cover the total the sustem will ask for another payment method to cover the remaining balance.

Repurchase updates from the Mac App Store

Due to some technical problems, I had to repurchase a Mac. When I launched the Mac App Store, I wanted to redownload Pages, but it tells me that I have insufficient credit and that I need to indicate a credit card. However, I had previously updated Pages through the Mac App Store. Does anybody have an idea?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Not enough info. What do you mean repurchase a Mac? You bought a different Mac?
As long as you are signed into the Mac AppStore with the Apple ID that originally purchased Pages, then it should be listed on the Purchased pane of the MAS and available for download.

How do I register my iLife CD - installed iMovie to the mac App Store?

Hey, so I bought apps that were in CDs such as the iMovie, iPhoto, Aperture, etc. How do I register it to the new Mac App Store? I want to link it to my Apple ID. The App Store doesn't recognize the apps, Please help me,
Thanks,
Kevin

Only the components of the iLife suite of software are available from the Mac App Store.
The updates for your iLIfe bundled software will be available from your Apple menu / Software Update, not the MAS.
No need to register or link anything. You do not have to re purchase.
However, if you buy apps directly from the Mac App Store, you can re download without having to buy again.
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store

How does the Mac App Store compare to MacUpdate Desktop?

So far I have been using MacUpdate desktop to keep ALL my apps up-to-date, a very easy process. With the advent of the Mac App Store I now have to deal with two processes to achieve that.
What do all think about the usefulness of creating a separate and closed update environment with the Mac App Store? Is this better? Or not?

MacUpdate Desktop will find updates to over 30,000 (and growing every day - MacUpdate is updated 24/7) Mac apps, screen savers, widgets, pref panes, and plug-ins. The MAS will only manage and update apps you have purchases from Apple through the MAS, and will not update non-apps (widgets, pref panes, screen savers, or plug-ins) and the MAS does not contain many popular commercial applications from major software companies. The MAS also requires an Intel Mac and Mac OS 10.6 or later - MacUpdate Desktop will run on PPC and update PPC apps too, on Mac OS 10.5 or later. You can easily browse and search for apps on MacUpdate.com, and then with a single click, have MacUpdate Desktop download and install any app of interest. The community support on MacUpdate.com - reviews and similar app suggestions - make discovering new apps fast and easy. Any apps purchased from MacUpdate Promo will also be displayed in MacUpdate Desktop, allowing you to easily download and install them as well. MacUpdate actively develops and updates MacUpdate Desktop and continues to add new features and benefits. Feel free to contact MacUpdate with any further questions - desktop<at>macupdate<dot>com.
