HT2589 Problems accessing the App Store

I'm able to sign in with Itunes but not the App store. Why will one accept my ID and password, but not the other? This is annoying and troublesome. Thank you.

You might try this;
1. Got to Sys Prefs/Network
2. Eliminate all of the Network resources by highlighting them and clicking the - symbol at the bottom (be sure to note the configuration before eliminating them)
3. Restart your Mac. Restore the Network resources by clicking the + symbol to add each one and then reconfigure
4. Try the MAS again.
If that doesn't help, I would consider downloading and reinstalling 10.7.5 over the existing 10.7.5 and hope that it corrects what may be missing or corrupted;

    Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT1414 My Apple ID username on my iPhone4 is seemingly locked on an old, unseable ID when I try to access the App Store on the iPhone. Everywhere else it has been updated (itunes etc.). How do I get past this no longer useable email/AppleID?

    The phone has been restored from settings from an old iPod Touch. The Apple ID username there worked well then, but I have since updated that. The email is no longer useable (university) and the passwords I have tried do not work - nor should they since I have updated my Apple account. Again, it's only when I try to access the App Store on my iPhone does this Apple ID problem surface. Please help! Thanks.

    Settings -> Store --> AppleID

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5209 might help you.  An iPhone 4 can airplay content from apps that support airplay and iTunes but it cannot mirror.  If your game does not have airplay in the app you cannot mirror it to the apple TV so I don't know if you can play just the music.  You should have no problem playing your iTunes over airplay though.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Re: Trouble connecting to apps and iTune store. 
    Jan 30, 2013 10:29 PM (in response to DonWhite)
    Like so many others, after updating to OS6 and changing my iCloud password, none of my devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, iMac etc) could connect to the tunes store, the error message was something "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again." However, there was nothing wrong with my internet connection - programs like Safari & Mail worked just fine.
    After trawling through the discussions and trying the recommendations (change time/date, activate location services, reset network settings etc) I just became more frustrated.
    I figured that if iTunes thought my network connection was the problem, maybe I should try tricking it and, after much trial, error and frustration, I did find a solution - and it may work for you...
    I turned off WiFi on my iPhone, then connected to my telco's 3G network, then connected to the iTunes store and it worked fine. Then I switched back to WiFi and all is good. Did the same for the iPad. For the MacBook and iMac I turned off WiFi then tethered the iPhone on the 3G network to the computer, then connected to iTunes Store, then went back to WiFi. For some reason that I don't understand, this all went as planned and now everything works.
    Anyway, I thought I should contribute to the community by letting you know the solution I found. Of course, this may not necessarily work for you, but it's worth a shot.

  • I can't access the App Store icon. It opens but a large delta airlines app is superimposed over the top of the App Store updates icons and is locking the entire app. How do I delete it?

    I can't access the App Store app. When I tap the Icon, a large Delta airlines app is superimposed over the top of everything and freezes up the entire App Store. how can delete this large app and where did it come from.

    Quit the App Store app and reset your iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Certain apps "reset" to waiting after accessing the App Store

    I accessed the App Store from my phone and now there are a group of apps that have sort of "reset" and pull out of how I have organized them, show greyed out and say waiting with a progress bar. This doesn't go away. How do I fix this?

    Thanks. Tried updating my security number without success. It seems a second complication is that I am currently resident in Norway with a UK credit card registered in the UK App Store. It seems the UK App Store refuses to accept the billing address post code (zip code) for my credit card as it is not a recognized UK code.  This was not a problem before the upgrade to iOS 7. Both my old iPad and iPad mini worked fine before and I have a couple of hundred apps on them. Now neither will allow me to download new apps, though I am able to update current ones. I have also recently purchased a new iPad and I find it won't display already purchased apps. However, I can download many of my already purchased apps directly from the App Store, but by no means everyone. And I am unable to download any Apps not previously purchased.
    I don't want to change to the Norwegian store, both because of the incompatibility of apps in different countries and for linguistic reasons, not to mention the need to change them again in a couple of years time. Is there a simple way to get around this computer inflexibility? would be grateful for all good suggestions!

  • I cannot access the app store with my ipod 4g, can any one help me please?

    Have you synced apps from that computer/iTunes library? You can only sync apps from your one syncing computer.

  • HT3843 I install the Genius for Apps and I can no longer access the Apps Store on my I phone

    I installed the Genius for Apps on my new IPhone 5 and I can no longer access the App Store and when I tap App Store I just get a white screen with the heading Genius for Apps with a white screen and no active keys.

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • Why can't i access the app store with snow leopard

    I just installed Snow Leopard on my girlfriend's Macbook 5,1 in hopes of updating it to Mountain Lion. I'm unable to use her Apple ID, nor mine, to access the App Store to upgrade. I've scowered search engines to find a fix, but to no avail. Anybody have any ideas as to how to resolve this issue?

    Hello:
    I do not know what you have tried, but try this:
    Click accounts in the quick links section.  You should be able to set things upo from there.

  • Why can't i access the app store on my iphone 5

    Please why can't I access the app store on my iPhone 5....it keep saying can't access.. I'm from Nigeria

    Go to settings, then scroll down to appstore and itunes store. Then tap id and sign out. Next, sign in again.
    Or restart the device by holding power button until red slider appears. Slide it. After the iphone turns off. Hold the power button to turn it backon. Then try the solution above.

  • I am not able to access the "Settings" on my iPad 3. I just get a gray screen for about 30 seconds and then the app shuts down. I am also unable to access the App store, iTunes, or any app requiring an internet connection. Any thoughts?

    I am not able to access the "Settings" on my iPad 3. I just get a gray screen for about 30 seconds and then the app shuts down. I am also unable to access the App store, iTunes, or any app requiring an internet connection. Any thoughts?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Connection failed whenever I try to access the App Store

    Whenever I try to access the App Store from my iMac, after a second or two I just get 'Connection failed.'
    It isn't my password or login as I am able to access this perfectly from my iPad and iPhone.
    What I have tried:
    Different connections (ethernet/wireless)
    Connecting to iTunes first (this works fine), then going into the App Store and trying it again
    Deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist, ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    pretty much everything on "connection failed" mac app store
    I am using Mavericks 10.9 if that is any help.
    Thanks

    To give some more information:
    In the console app I had a look at some of the messages I am getting when I try to access the app store. I get 20-odd lines of:
    02/08/2014 12:29:40.000 kernel[0]: Sandbox: App Store(1017) deny file-write-data /private/var/db/mds/system/mds.lock
    Anyone know what this means? Obviously I am being denied access to something! I have only had this Mac for a few days and don't profess to be that knowledgable about them at all so any info is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Have you tried signing out of your iTunes & App Store on your device and then back in again - Settings>iTunes & App Store, click on Apple ID, then on Sign Out. Then sign in again and see if it accepts the password.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue,  try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the Slide to Unlock screen will display. See if the problem is resolved.
