HT1338 my computer could not be verified

recently i purchase a game named GTA san andreas from app store and it work perfectly everytime i open this game. but now, when i try to open it again. the computer wanted me to 'sign in to use this application on this computer'
after i put the user name and password. failed. saying 'your device or computer could not be verified'
WHAT HAPPEN?

It probably is a multiplayer game that works over the internet with their own login system. If you haven't signed up on their website with a login, it may not let you play the game. If it is not, contact the developer and tell them of the issue. In the meantime, you can contact the Mac App Store billing for a refund, if that's not the type of game you desire:

Your computer could not be verified Mac App Store and FaceTime

Hi All
I've been trying through several forums for a long time to find a solution for my problem before giving up, I'll go down to the point:
I have an iMac Intel 20" early 2008 (I can provide more detailed specs when required). I am using Mac OSX Lion installed from a usb and prior used Snow Leopard. They problem has been consistent thru all versions, same symptoms, same all.
1. Whenever I try to login to Mac App Store I get the famous: "your computer could not be verified, please contact support for assistance". FaceTime also does not login, promptying a "server error, try later".
2. Contacted support, and after 16 emails back and forth all I was told at the end was: "I am able to log in into your mac app store account from this side after resetting your account,is there anything I can do for you today".... (!!!!????)
3. There has been a problem parallel to that, and although I am not sure they are related anyhow I need to point it out. My ethernet port stopped working and there is no way to create any connection through it. I can still use wireless quite well (reason why I still keep my machine). After sending the machine to repairs, diagnose was that it could be a problem on the logic board and to fix it may require to replace LB entirely. So I decided not to go for it and keep the machine only with wireless connection.
So I have tried every single solution found (so far...) on google and forums to no avail: a) deleting .plist, b) resetting network configs and creating new locations, c) resetting PRAMs (not sure if it solve anything, but tried anyway) and others. The problem still persists with the same symptoms.
I can login into iTunes store and buy applications from computer, iPhone and iPad, which makes me think that my credentials are valid, alas, I logged into this forum using them.
I also tried creating a new account at App Store, when I request it through the Application, the "little fan that advises you to wait" appears, but suddenly dissapear with no warning or message at all (!!!!????). It is like you never requested anything in first place.
Obviously I can still use my machine for internet and stuff, but my ability to purchase/use any Apple software is seriously restricted. I cannot purchase any software anymore if AppStore is going to be the main way to acquire it (which I think it will).
So, my big questions are:
1) Is this hardware problem (ethernet, logic board, connection ports) remotely related to the machine authentication process when using MacApp Store and FaceTime through Apple?
2) Is there a way to fix this through software, before I consider replacing the machine? (Please take into account that I have already tried TS1811, deleting .plist files, resetting network, creating new locations from scratch... I basically searched thoroughly on google, forums and tips and tried all reasonable found recommendations before posting).
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Livia and Huevoos (eggs??) for your interest in this post.
In a nutshell, I haven't been able to solve this. I gave up on Apple support after they proved useless.
As Huevoos suggested, and I confirmed it time and again after browsing thru endless forums, it seems that the user validation routine for the Mac App Store is done by looking into your network settings, which in my case are either incomplete or erroneous due to the broken-down ethernet. (I am still waiting for somebody more experienced in this forum to contradict or explain this).
So, because I still have wireless connection, I can use my machine for day-to-day chores, have not been able to purchase anything up to this date in the Mac App Store though. I'm waiting for either a software update that could correct this (Mountain Lion??? there's no guarantee only hope) or the moment when my machine will need to be replaced by a new one with a functional ethernet.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help. But I'm pretty much in the same situation as you guys.
Live long and prosper.

Yosemite upgrade, now this "Device or computer could not be verified"

What the ****??
My upgrade to Yosemite on my MacPro (which meets the minimum requirements for install) has been a complete nightmare. After crashing during install, I finally had to erase my primary hard drive and install Yosemite with my desktop hooked up to my laptop in Target Disk Mode.
Now that I have it installed and restored from my Time Machine Back Up, I am getting this error from the Apple Store:
"Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance."
I checked my iCloud information in System Preferences and I'm still logged in. I attempted to verify my account in in the preferences and it accepted my password but then did nothing. I attempted to log out from iCloud (deleting all my information from my computer) and it puttered out failing to completely log me out because of some issue with Mail. After taking care of those issues, I attempted to sign into my iCloud account in System Prefs and got the error message:
"You can't sign in at this time. Try signing in again."
Perplexed, I attempted to sign in to iCloud via Safari. No problem - my Apple ID & Password both worked - so now I know that my information is correct. I checked every setting under the "My Apple ID" (applied.apple.com) and double checked every bit of information there and every thing checks out.
WHY AM I HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND HOW DO I FIX IT NOW?

So here's a quick update.
Finally got through to someone via Support Chat. Essentially, they surmise that the issue is that my computer installed the wrong support files since I was installing it to a hard drive via target disk mode. In other words, the files that were installed on to my Mac Pro were actually those of my MacBOOK Pro leading my computer to have one **** of an identity crisis.
Their proposed fixed was to shut down, boot up to the internet recovery module (⌘ R at start up), use the disk utility to erase my drive (again), then use the same tool to re-install Yosemite (10.1). Well, guess what, this doesn't work either. After erasing my drive (AGAIN!!!), I tried to reinstall, but got the error message:
"This is not a supported method of installing the operating system." (then why the **** was this method created in the first place?)
I tried to reboot from an install USB drive, but the system no longer seems to support the "boot from usb" anymore, because the system fails with each attempt.
Not really sure what the **** to do now.

On your other computer sign into the App Store, then go to the Purchases tab and download Yosemite, Then download the program below. It will make a bootable install USB stick which you can use to reboot the computer/install.

can some one help me? I have been trying to update my MAC and it will not download because this message come up
(The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.)

For anyone that comes across this. I managed to fix the problem. It had something to do with the date on my computer. Mavericks installer apparently does a date check of some sort and that is where the error is coming from. Open terminal and check the system date. It may be wrong. Another poster in the forums told me how to to check the date and change it. Click here for the link to the explanation. Be careful because the date is in a weird format.

Make sure your Mac qualifies to upgrade to Mountain Lion > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) reinstalls the App Store for you which may help the product distribution error.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installled. It's ok to do this even though your Mac already has v10.7.5 installed.
Then try downloading Mountain Lion.
FYI ... For downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
You may also need to temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
