Cannot purchase error on app store then eventually account locks out
Hi,
Whenever I download a paid or free app front the app store on my iPhone I constantly get the message "cannot download metal storm wingman and 8 other apps" then after a few times of this appearing my account gets locked out.
Why does this keep appearing and how can I stop it!?
the app store takes me to this dead link
It's not a dead link. Your Internet connection isn't working properly. Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. If there's no change, see below.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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.
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, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or 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 login 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 the test.

Cannot sign in to app store on MY account, but different acc works fine
Hi,
Today I signed into someone else's AppleID on my iPad to purchase an app (with their permission.) But now that I signed out of their account, I am now unable to sign in to MY account! I get "the Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect" the first time - then the second time I try, it just doesn't respond at all. Also, I am signed into my account right now (to post this message), I can access the account online via appleid.apple.com, AND I cannot sign in on my iPhone 3GS either. I have tried resetting the password, to no avail.
I am also doubtful it is a problem with the App Store itself, because I can sign back in to the alternate account with no problems. Suggestions? Anyone else having (or had) this same problem before?
Message was edited by: amaclacWell, dunno if I did something to fix it unknowingly or if it was some sort of Apple hiccup, but I can now sign in on the iPad. I just tried signing in on iTunes to see if that would work; it did, then I tried signing in once again on iPad and that worked as well. Not sure what was going on, but all fixed now! Phew.

I created my itunes account YEARS ago!! And I can't remember the answers to my security questions? Because I cannot remember the answers I cannot make purchases in the app store. Please help me create new security questions. Please help me.
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps you get the questions reset :https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing the number for Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Account Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 -
I purchased Lion but cannot connect to the app store. Any ideas?
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 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.

I downloaded and paid for an app on my ipad, how can I get it free on my iphone without using itunes as my laytop is broken. I cannot seem to find the purchase tab in app store? I am logged in using the same ID
First, the app must be universal...designed for both iPhone/iPad:
Tap App Store.
Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
Tap Updates.
Tap Purchased on the resulting screen.
Locate the app in your Purchased tab.
Tap the download icon.
The app will begin downloading and you'll be taken back to your home screen. -

YAY!!! Saved it in my Mac's Firefox Bookmarks for easy future access!
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....

I cannot update my system, error in app store
I cannot update system to mountain lion, 'an error in app store, please try again. (13)'
Try deleting the cache, cookies, and preferences associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
com.apple.storeagent.pllist
Now here:
~/Library/Cookies
Click Go
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, try the App Store.
If you continue to have problems, if you have anti virus software installed, disable that before trying to upgrade.
And try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall -
