HT5007 Why when I sign into the App store it says unknown error?

When I sign into the App store it says unknown error.

the support article for that error says to wait for it to reset your request and then try again, in the meantime verify your login information is correct (ie logging in at http://appleid.apple.com/)
you can also goto Settings > store and log out of your apple id and log back in just in case

Why im i getting "an unknown error has occurred" message when i sign into the app store

Im getting "an unknown error has occurred" message when i sign into the app store. I don't have a problem signing into anything else. What could the problem be?

Were you able to find a solution to this issue? I am also getting the 'an error has occurred' message when trying to download or update any apps on my iPhone. Restarted, updated, re-booted, etc etc, nothing has worked.

Iphone 4, App store showing 2 updates, but when I go into the app store it says all apps are up to date.

I have an Iphone 4, IOS version 6.1.3.
My app store badge is showing 2 updates, but when I go into my app store, it tells me all apps are up to date. I've tried several of the fixes that others have who have had simular issues, but so far, I havn't seen anyone who is having the issue of the app store saying the apps are up to date. (Most others are unable to load the app store or its just blank.)
Sometimes when I go into the app store the notification will go away, but its only temporary as it will come back again later. I've gone through my purchased list, and there are none that have update beside them. There are some that have a cloud, but all of those are ones I have deleted and do not wan
Unlike most users, I do not have a ton of apps. Probably less then 30, some of those are ones it came with. If this was a computer, I would think that there is something in the registry that is left over from one of the apps I deleted and its triggering the app store. IDK if it works like that on Iphones as I'm not really an expect. This is the only apple device I've ever owned and I got it used from a friend about 6 months ago. (It was cleared and restored before I bought it from her)
Everthing else seems to be working fine for the most part, except that it has been acting kinda slow and sometimes the browser and stuff doesn't load right the first try. (I only use wifi on it, as I don't use a cellular service with this Iphone)

ATtempt to power off your device and power it back on, if that doesn't work reset all settings should resolve it for you

I just bought and set up a iPad mini. Now when I go to sign in on the apps store it says unknown error.

I bought a I pad mini and set it up today and now it won't let me sighn in to the AppStore my password and user name is right but it gives me a unknown error pop up. How do I fix this.?

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

TS1424 Can't sign into the iTunes store because of "unknown error", but my password and email is correct

That's basically it
I have the right info, but it just says "Unknown Error"
I can sign into the apple website alright, just not the store

i think what i did was instead of clicking the little button that has your email to sign into your account, i instead clicked "redeem" on the iTunes store homepage ((cause i wanted to redeem an itunes gift card)) which asked me to sign in, but that time my details worked?? idk but yeah if you try that it might work!

HT5622 Why can't I sign into the App Store on my phone?

I can't sign into the App Store on my phone? But for some reason I can still download stuff, but I have to log in every time for every little thing.

There is no error message. I try to log in and it looks like it tries to but then it just go's back to the main screen and nothing happens. I can log in on my computer just fine, that is why I don't know what is going on.

How do I change the default Apple ID in my iPad when I log into the App Store?

I recently changed the email address used for my Apple ID and can no longer update the apps on my iPad. When I log into the App Store, my discontinued email address continues to show up in the sign-in box despite the fact that I have gone to Settings>Store, signed out of the former email address and logged in using my new Apple ID. Why does the account information not refresh from the old Apple ID to the new one?

Try this...
Close All open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset and try again.
Reset
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I want to sign into the app store as another ID, but it is greyed out.

Hey everyone,
I want to update my apps but I am having an issue.
When I click "update", this pops up
But that is not the apple ID I am signed into the app store as, nor the account I want to use to update things.
Why is it greyed out -- uneditable -- and how can I change that?
Thanks!

OK so I was having this issue too but for some reason it was happening on Evernote. The user email that was populating the Apple ID field was for a previous user on the computer that, as far as I know, doesn't use Evernote at all. It only happened recently and as far as I knew all his user information was removed from this machine once we got a new one in the office?
Uninstalling and reinstalling worked but this behaviour seems very odd.

Just bought a used Oct '13 MacBook Pro and I can't sign into the App Store as it still displays the old owners user ID in the login box (in fixed grey text). Any ideas of how I what I could do? Thanks.

The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted from the disc, the USB device, or Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password
