I cannot sign in to the app store
For some reason I cannot sign into the app store. I have tried on a Mavericks and Yosemite mac. When I click on sign in the little wheel rotates next to my apple id but nothing else happens. I tried to change my password to just numbers and letters as I saw one post recommended. I can sign into icloud. When I try to sign into iTunes I get a message stating that the iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. I do have anti-virus software but I shut it down and still can't sign in.
help!

Apple’s having trouble with the Mac App Store and iTunes App Store right now. Try again later.

I cannot turn on automatically download in my settings. I cannot download anything from the app store...once I sign in it says downloading but them goes back like I never signed in what do I do ?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities,
I had a similar issue and it was an easy fix for me. First you need to log out of your account completely in the Mac App Store. Quit the application. Re-open the Mac App Store. Click log-in, enter your Apple-ID and password. Now when the screen pops-up that has all of your billing/credit card information on it DO NOT select done. Instead select View my Account, then select View hidden purchases. There you should be able to find iPhoto. Hope this helps if not let me know. I'm still searching solutions for you.

When I try and sign in to the App Store, I get an error message that says "An unknown error has occurred". The Apple Store told me to contact Apple Care which I did. They determined it was not an issue with my computer and thought it was an issue with the App Store.
They had me contact the iTunes Store instead of the App Store because they said that was the technician I needed. The iTunes Store rep told me there was no issue with my iTunes account and told me "The issue could have been temporary, related to your internet connection, your local network, or your computer itself."
This issue has been happening for a few months and as I said above, Apple Care said it was not my computer.
Any suggestions?
ThanksRestart your Mac then try again.

I keep getting the message "An unknown error has occurred" when trying to sign in to the App Store. How do I solve this problem?
Make sure you have the correct country selected. Click the round flag icon bottom right side of the App Store window.

i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?
First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with. -

Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is. -
Reinstall Mavericks but stuck on sign in to the app store !!
HI, yesterday i try to update Yosemite but it was not success
Then i try to reinstall Mavericks and everything is fine until i sign in an apple account .
i stuck on "signing in to the app store" and cant do anything
what should i do?
ThanksHi .
In order to reinstall Mavericks, you have to use OS X Recovery. Not re downoad Mavericks from the App Store.
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to reinsstall OS X.
Read prior to reinstalling > About OS X Recovery
Make sure to backup all your important data prior to reinstalling OS X. -

1. Make sure software is up to date

3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
4. Make sure Push Notification is enabled
5. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
6. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo -

Hello - does anyone now how to place a complain for an over charged invoice over a in-purchase game? Apple is charging 10 times more the purchase we made and I cannot find anyplace in the App store to complain online or via email? Please help if you know
Use the Report a Problem link in the iTunes email receipt you received. Also in-app purchases can be made without the password if you bought the app within the last 15min. You should enable the in-app restriction in Settings.

I created my itunes account YEARS ago!! And I can't remember the answers to my security questions? Because I cannot remember the answers I cannot make purchases in the app store. Please help me create new security questions. Please help me.
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps you get the questions reset :https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing the number for Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Account Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 -

App Store requires 10.9 but I cannot download Mavericks without the App Store. HELP!
I did a fresh install of 10.6 and the upgrades got me to 10.6.8 but the included App Store from the upgrades requires 10.9. I cannot download Mavericks without the App Store. How do I find an old version of App Store or install Mavericks without the App Store? HELP!
Click the Apple top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click: About This Mac
Double check to make sure you see: v10.6.8
Make sure your Mac can run Mavericks > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
Read prior to upgrading to Mavericks > Upgrading to 10.7 and above, don't forget Rosetta! -

Because all content that you download from the iTunes stores is coated with your Apple ID.
