HT204053 Why can't I sign in to the App Store with my valid ID?

I can't sign into the App Store. I've even changed my password to try to get it to work. Every time I try I get "can't sign in now". Any thoughts?

Try this and see what happens. Quit the App Store, Sign out of your account completely, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

Why can't I sign in to the App Store app on my mac?

Is there anyone who can help me? I have OS 10.7.4 running on a Intel mac tower, I have an Apple account (that works fine for the iTune store, on my iPad), but when I click on the either of the links; Sign In, or Account in the App Store app on my mac nothing happens? I have also tried the same options in the menus but with the same result?
I had the same problem on Leopard, and bought Lion hopefully to fix the problem, but I still can't sign in...

To be honest - Apple did a miserable job in designing the user accounts on Apple Store, iTunes app profile, Apple ID profile and Apple discussion groups profile. You can't even change the password in discussion groups. You have to go through "forgot password" to reset it. I tried it once and never received the reset-email. Total misery.
Anyway, I had the same issue with not being able to sign into Apple Store app. In the end I resolved it by CLIKING on the PURCHASES button in iTunes, then it asked me for password and then I was able to make purchases etc..

Why can't I sign in to the App Store?

When I got Snow Leopard, I immediately tried to boot up the Mac App store to download Lion, but when I open the App Store and attempt to sign in, quite literally nothing happens. Suggestions?

Hi...
If you don't see the sign in sheet > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
And disable any security software such as anti virus before trying to access the App Store.
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available spare
Please read before upgrading to Lion > Lion upgrade questions: Apple Support Communities

Why can't I get updates from the app store

why can't I update my apps? It always ask for the password and then goes right back to update.

Try signing out of iTunes & App Store then signing back in.
Settings->iTunes & App Store. Tap on your Apple ID then select sign out
Restart your iPad
Now, open Settings->iTunes & App Store - sign back in.
See if you can update now.
if not try Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings
You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi networks again,
Hope this helps!

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

I tried downloading a free app from the apple App Store but I now get a message saying there was a problem taking payments and I have to update my credit card details. This is confusing as the app is free and I have never tried paying for an app without having the money in my bank to pay for it. Why does it now tell me I ended credit card details to install an app and why has the error occurred with my bank details?

Check to make sure your credit card details (like expire date, etc) are current.

Can you no longer sign out of the App Store with one ID and then sign in with another?

i can no longer sign out of an Apple ID on the App Store and then sign in with another. I did this in order to share games with my sons. Is this no longer possible? When I try it now I get a message saying he will have to wait 90 days before he can use his ID again.

The page that I linked to, associating a device and the 90 days, has been around for a few years (at least 3), but from what some people have posted on here the association doesn't always kick in.
Are the apps that you might want to sync in the computer's iTunes library that you sync his iPad to, or have you got copies of them somewhere so that you can add them to it and then sync them instead of redownloading ? If they were bought on a different computer, and are still on that computer, then you should be able to copy them over to his iPad's computer - by default an iTunes library is stored under :
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
There should be a 'Mobile Applications' or similarly named directory under it - copy the apps to a flash drive, if not already done so then authorise your account on his iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer menu option) and then add them via File > Add To Library menu option

Why can't i find iBooks on the App store from my MacBook Air?

I have iBooks on my iPad and use it to store critical work PDF's. I went to the App store on my MacBook

This is why people use Amazon...
You can't use iBooks on a desktop. You may want to give the Kindle app a try.

Why can't I get anything in the app store?

Everytime I open up the app store It won't let me touch the free button n won't let me get apps

This is a bug experienced by quite a few users lately that I'm sure Apple is aware of and working on. I have never had this problem, so I can't speak for myself, but I would try a reset. Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

Why can't I see updates in the App Store?

The App Store icon indicates that a number of updates are available, but the Updates page in the App Store is empty. I can see which Apps need updating in the Under All Purchases. Rebooting did not work. ‘Reset all settings’ did not work. Closing the App Store icon did not work. Removing the last ten Apps did not work. Closing all active apps did not work. Loading a new App did not work. Closing all running apps and turning off wi-Fi did not work.

Why Can't I Get Back Into The App Store Via My iPhone4?

I just activated my iPhone 4 (Verizon) today and was downloading free apps w/o problem until a few hours ago when I could no longer gain access to the App Store.
When I click on the App Store it just gives me a "loading" message but nothing comes up.
Have Net access via wireless and 3g. Can do searches w/Safari and can get into the iTunes store, but not the App Store.
Is the App Store "down" or is there something I can do to "fix" this problem?
Please advise, thanks!

Update: Well, it looks like I have more problems than just the App Store. Now, I can't bring up the Settings page (it's blank). Phone still works but other functions like Maps and Weather also come up blank.
Any way to reset w/o the Settings page? Help!

Why can't I find CarPlay on the app store?

If you search for the app CarPlay on the apple website, it gives you all this information on the app. but I can't find it in the app store. I have searched "apple carplay" "carplay" and "car play" and I can't find it.
Am I searching wrong? Am I missing something?

That link didn't say anything about where or HOW to get to get car play, which was my question. All it did was tell you what it was and how great it was and who it was available for. So I did read the link I posted, before I posted. After tracking down a video through pioneer, it looks like if you have the firmware update all you do is plug in your phone and it loads carplay on the stereo screen.

Can I buy an Ipad3 from the app store with a non US creditcard?.

My dad is from Guatemala en he would like to send an iPad3 to a friend in Miami, Fl. but a friend just told me I can't buy within the Store with a non-Us credit card, is this true?...

Yes, you must have a credit card issued in the US with a billing address
in the US to purchase an iPad to be delivered in the US. Also, purchase
would be from Apple.com and not the app store which sells only apps and
no hardware. If your bank has a branch in Miami or is affiliated with a bank
in Miami, you may be able to arrange a direct transfer of funds to one of
the Apple stores in Miami but that is beyond the scope of this help forum
and left as an exercise for you or your dad.

Why can't I download Garageband off the App Store?

So I got my Macbook Pro a few month's ago and Garageband didn't come pre-installed on it everytime I try to download it, instead of a price button there is accept but it just say's "These apps cannot be accepted on this computer." Now I did get my Mac for slightly cheaper because a lady brought it back, but I was told she didn't even use it she just turned it on then brought it back the same day apparently the screen wasn't big enough.Any help is much appreciated I really just want to play around with Garageband so hopefully there is a solution to my problem.

I believe the previous owner has registered or created a Apple ID on apple and the apps are linked to that Apple ID, try calling tech support and have them clear the link or transfer to your Apple ID then it should work. Same thing happened to me because I registered the computer on one ID and then signed-in on a different ID and tried to download Garage Band and could not, would not allow me to accept the download. Hope this helps

MBP telling me to sign in to the App store with my old ID to update iMovie, but won't accept the old ID

My App store updates indicate iMovie needs to be updated. When I try to do so, it tells me I need to sign in with my old Apple ID, the one I had before the change to email addresses. But when I try to sign in with that old ID, it defaults back to the new email-based one. I can't find a way to get it to accept the old ID, so can't update this app for now, and I'm sure others down the road.
Help, please?

You can't, you can only purchase from your own country's store. You can try requesting that it be added to the Canadian store, but ultimately it's the record company that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

Why will my I pad 2 not connect to the App Store with a valid password, or play you tube, or I player?
