I cannot access my app store after upgrading to Mac Os10.8.2

I have problem accessing to the software update or the app store. This all happen after i upgrade to MAc OS 10.8.2 and certain software upate. Now i cant access the app store. Everytime i click on it, it just bounce for a few second then stop. Another issue is 'finder'. I cannot access the download or my folder in 'finders'. Help....

Yes, if you can follow mcgerbs advice and re-install OS X. There isn't any archive & install selection in 10.8.
Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
The screen should give you these choices...
Restore from TM backup
Reinstall Mac OS X
Get help online
Disk Utility
First run Disk Utility Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.

Cannot access App Store after upgrading to Mountain Lion

Hi all - hope someone can help. I have a new Macbook Air and upgraded recently to Mountain Lion. Since then I cannot access the App Store. Error message is
'Cannot verify a secure connection to App Store, continue? ' If I continue a series of flashing pages occurs. I have tried changing the date as some responses suggest but nothing seems to work. I would be so grateful to fix this as I am keen to download final cut pro x to my new machine.
All help gratefully received

That poor wordpress site has collapsed in exaustion from trying to keep up with the 3mil hits a day
here is a "copied" version with credits for those looking for a solution to an annoying problem Apple should patch. (Yes, I'm aware of the irony of that statement)
July 18, 2012 · by Arthur Lockman · in Apple, Tutorials
After doing a reinstall of Lion a few weeks ago, I found that my computer suddenly would reject every VeriSign certificate that it encountered. Using Chrome, that meant that I couldn’t even access Twitter.com, because it thought that the certificate was wrong. I couldn’t login to the Apple developer portal, I couldn’t authenticate a device with XCode, I couldn’t make a purchase at Apple.com, I couldn’t download updates from the Mac App Store, and I couldn’t login to Mint.com, among other sites. I essentially couldn’t do anything that used a VeriSign certificate for SSL.
What did I do? I called my trusty AppleCare advisor, hoping for an answer. I thought that maybe they could help me figure it out. After getting to senior support, I was told to reinstall Lion, which I did to no avail. My case was then forwarded to the Apple engineering team, with 3 to 5 days to wait until I had an answer. I looked around, through my console logs and through Keychain access, and finally came up with an answer, and a solution to my problems.
It turned out that my solution was pretty simple. I had to delete a few files and reset one to its default setting.
Delete the files /var/db/crls/crlcache.db and /var/db/crls/ocspcache.db. These can be found using Finder’s Go >; Go To Folder menu (Cmd + Shift + G). This resets the cache of accepted certificates in the system. It doesn’t remove them, it just forces the system to rebuild the caches upon restart.
Open Keychain Access (/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access). Select Certificates in the Category picker on the left side. In the search bar, type in the word Class. Look through that list, and find any certificates that have a blue + symbol over their icon. These are the ones you need to modify.
Select one that has a blue +, and hit Command + I. Click the disclosure triangle beside the “Trust” list to show the list of permissions. Now, what we need to do is to set this certificate to use the system defaults. However, for some reason, when you select it, it doesn’t save. So what you need to do is this. Under “Trust”, where it says “Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)”, change the dropdown menu to say “No Value Specified”. Then, close the window. It will ask for your administrator permissions. Then, open the info pane for that certificate again. Under “Trust” again, now set the dropdown that says “When using this certificate:” to say “Use System Defaults”. You can then close out of the info pane, and enter your password again. Do this for any of the certificates that have a blue + on their icon. There should only be one or two at most.
Restart your system.
This solution seemed to work just fine for me. All of my certificate problems have been fixed. It must be something with the OSX installer that causes this certificate issue. I’ll file a bug report. Hopefully someone looks into it and fixes the flaw in the OS. And, I hope that this fixed the flaw for you.
Addendum – a note on security:
This procedure won’t affect the security of your Mac. I’ve had some questions come in about that, and if anything, it makes it more secure because then sites that require SSL certificates can actually use them, unlike before where they might default to non secure connections because the certificate was bad.

Cannot access to apps store or apps

I have an ipad, second genertion. Since a few days, I cannot access to apps store neither any apps that I have. My ipad keeps asking me my itunes password, every time I acces to any app. Fullfilling the password doesn't solve the issue. I checked my password, it is the correct one. I checked under settings iTunes and App store and I cannot make the ipad to accept my password.
i am currently outside my country, is it because of this ?
Thanks for your help, I need my ipad to work
I am using operating system 8.1.2

HT204053 I cannot access the app store because it wants to access an @me Apple ID that no longer works. How do I eliminate this ID so I can access apps?aid

I cannot access the app store because the iPad is requesting a password to an Apple ID that does not exist. The app store seems to be using an @me iCloud address as the Apple ID. This is not my ID or email addresses. How can this be changed to my Apple ID?

Easy, just sign out then back in again.

Hey 8325,
There's an article that goes over what to do when you're having issues connecting to the iTunes store:

You'll want to follow the steps in the "Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" section.

IPhone 3GS cannot access to 3G network after upgrading to OS 5

My iPhone 3GS cannot access the 3G network after upgrading to OS5. I have checked with my operator and shows that their 3G network is working fine. Only cannot access through the phone. When I enable 3G, there will be no service for my phone. Wifi is working fine.
Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks, I will try this method. After restore and syn, will it automatically upgrade back to OS5?
No. If you have 5.0.1, then you will get 5.0.1 back. Restoring should still fix it though. I would prefer to have you back up to iCloud, because there are many known issues/errors when trying to restore via iTunes on iOS 5 or later.

Hi There,
What happens when you try to access it? You've not given a lot of information for people to help you.

Bought a MacBook Pro for granddaughter for college and she cannot access the app store to purchase apps needed for class. Always gets security questions that she did not set up and therefore she is denied access. But it does show her redeemable balance.

I bought a 13" MacBook Pro for our college bound granddaughter. She cannot access the app store as she
gets security questions to answer that she never set up, and of course it won't let her purchase anything. She has
a redeemable balance, but can't get past the security questions and can't seem to find another way to circumvent this.
What can she do?

If she has trouble with the first advisor, she can always ask to speak to a senior advisor. However, AppleCare isn't really needed in cases like this, as the iTunes Store is quite familiar with accounts of this nature, and it's more of their speciality. Your daughter may want to contact them next time, but it's only email support at the moment (soon to change).

I kept getting this upgrade prompt from the App Store to upgrade free to OS10 Yosemite. So I finally did on my 4 year old iMac and now it appears to be stuck just spinning on that stupid ball that means trouble and it is not progressing. Anybody got any idea what I do now? Thanks.

I don't think you would get a thing from the App Store running 10.3.x on a PowerBook. It would help if you told us what you really are using and what version of OS X you were running.
It would also help to tell us what the "stupid ball" is. In fact it would be a big help to give us a thorough and intelligible description of your situation so we don't have to guess.

Hi all. I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Any advice?

Hi all, I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store. I want to connect to upgrade to Mountain Lion but ony get the message "you are not connected to App store" or "Check your internet connections, error -52". My internet is working OK for everything else.Any advice?

Then I will have to assume a faulty installation.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

HT204053 I have changed my Apple ID in iTunes, which I access through my current ISP! I have another - old ISP on my mobile which I originally setup to access the App Store. I cannot access the App Store via old Apple ID. How do I change to new Apple ID?

I had two (2) different ISP's, one for the mobile phone and one for the computer. I have changed my Apple ID in iTunes, and also changed my ISP provider for my mobile phone. NOW I cannot acces the App Store (through the iPhone icon. How can I change the Apple ID for access to the App Store which keeps requesting the 'old' Apple ID (lost the password and cannot get help as ISP is no longer available for help) Have tried syn, no rsult, I have the new Apple ID as Apple ID on my mobile phone. Help required here???

To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account. To do this, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I bought a new iPad 3 in USA in July but now I cannot access my apps store. I can't update or view the apps store. Secondly it keeps on telling t

I bought a new iPad in July in USA and it was set up by the Apple store in Houston, now I can't access my apps store neither can I view all my purchased apps.
Secondly, every time it want to update my apps that I bought years ago, it tells me to go to Nigeria store. I don't know why I must change to a store to update my apps
Thirdly, I think it's unfair to pay the same amount of Money for an IPad with those in USA and the you can't even download the good apps. It seems the apps in the Nigeria store are those they don't want in the USA . Why can't we have the same quality apps considering we paid the same amount of money to buy this iPads. I think this is very unfair to us.

The apps available to you are dependent on your location. If you are not in the USA, then you cannot get the USA app store. Whilst you may think that is unfair, it has been a part of the stardard terms and conditions you agreed to when you setup the iOS device in question originally, as well as every time you click agree to the terms and conditions.
This is done because of two things, firstly there are many legal and semi-legal reasons that an iOS app store download is available in one territory and not another, in addition to this, it also allows apple to provide language specific content, as well as team up with companies and organisations within individual organisations in order to provide you with exclusive offers, content, and information, which it would not otherwise be able to do.
Rules for the iOS app store are also applied in varing forms for the music store, the books store, and the iTunes U content library.
I can very much understand your fustraition, as someone who spent a considerable portion of his life, especially during the years he grew up, living in California, USA, but now living in London, UK, I too find it very fustraiting that you cannot always get the same content from one country to another, especially when most marketing for iOS apps originates in the USA these days.
I hope this helps your query and helps to ease your fustraition. If you would like apple to be aware of your fustraition, rather than putting it onto a pubilc form which is on monitored in a very limited capacity, then you can fill in the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback where you can give your complaint straight to apple.
