ICloud/iTunes store/Mac App store login won't work

Hi there,
for about a week now I've been having troubles on my MBP (mid-2009, running 10.8.2). I can't seem to connect to my iCloud account from this MBP (on the other hand, iMac and iOS devices still working flawlessly with iCloud). It started first with iMessage shutdown, and later I found out my iTunes and Mac App accounts won't load as well (again, working flawlessy on iMac). Therefore I can't even update to 10.8.3.
What could be the problem? Has anyone else experienced anything of the kind? This is really weird, as I don't think I made any change to pretty much anything when the iMessage stopped working and everything else ensued....
please, help!

oh, I forgot, when I try to log in to the icloud thru the system settings, It takes forever (spinning wheel) and ends with a message stating: "You can't seem to log in at this time. Try it later" or something like that. I've tried reboot and everything, but to no avail.

I deleted an app downloaded from the Mac App Store, Mac App Store is showing an update for deleted app.

I downloaded Blackmagic Speed Disk from the Mac App store last year. Its not a pirated copy or anything. I deleted the app cause I never used it. After I deleted the app the Mac App Store shows an available update for the deleted app. When I click update, it just re-downloads the app. Cant figure out how to completly get rid of it. I uninstalled the app and then used easy file finder to delete the app's files completely. How do I get rid of the annoying Update??? Thanks

Hide the app from your Purchases list. Sign into your account (Store menu). Go to Purchases pane, right click on the app in question, Hide the app.

Is the apple store/mac app store down

my apple id isn't working on any of my devices.. cna't download. can't verify account and safari and apple.com pages are not loading correctly... anybody else having this problem currently?

Not sure if it is the 10.8.1 update, but safari is acting slow, keeps telling me the apple.come certificates can not be verified... and the app store keeps saying connection failed... even though I am connected to the internet...It is not my internet becuase everything else works fine on other devices just can't download apps right now and everything is slow.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud. When I go to the mac app store it says pages 5.0 is installed, but Pages says it's running 4.3. I just want to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud, but the mac app store says its already installed and won't let me upgrade. when I check the version of pages I am running it says 4.3. I just want to be able to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad. How can i get Pages 5.0?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application

ITunes Card in Mac App Store?

I want to buy an app on the Mac App Store, and I was wondering if an iTunes Gift card will be used to buy it. There is no "redeem" button that I can see, but if I enter it on my iTouch or in my iTunes, will it work for the same account in the Mac App Store?

Hi,
There's a redeem link on the Mac App Store.
Open the App Store. On the right under Quick Links click Redeem.
In the next window enter the gift card number there then click Redeem.
You won't see that if you go to the app first and then try to make a purchase.
The iTunes and Mac App Store are one in the same. You can use the gift card at the iTunes store but I'm not certain if you can redeem a gift card on your Touch.

Le Mac App Store ne mettra à jour les applications qui ont été achetés sur le Mac App Store (MAS). Certaines applications ont une fonction de mise à jour Vérifier dans le menu nom de l'application, VueScan n'est pas une de ces applications.

Can i use itunes or apple app store gift card to do in-app purchases as a substitute for credit card?

I Heard that you can use the appstore gift card or itunes to do inapp purchases since they serve as credit points in the apple store
i think it could be since amazon appstore has amazon coins that do the same:
1. Buying Apps
2. buying inapp contents
3. (or any hardware or others) not sure about this..
so i thought it must be true of what ive heard,
please confirm and if true, teach me how..
cause i dont have a credit card and its kinda too much to ask others to borrow from others..

iTunes and App Store gift cards are basically the same thing, both are redeemed onto your iTunes account and can be used to buy from the iTunes store, app store, Mac app store on Mac computers and the iBookstore - the cards that you shouldn't buy are Apple Store gift cards, they cannot be used with an iTunes account.
When you've redeemed it onto your account then your balance should show in both the iTunes and App Store apps on your iPad, and your computer's iTunes. On my iPad it shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id and at the bottom of the Music tab in the iTunes store app (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Store and it should show on the screen that you are taken to). On my computer's iTunes it shows at the top left of the store's pages next to my id, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option.
If you are trying to download a paid-for item and you don't currently have a balance or other payment method on your account then you will be taken to the payment details screen so that you can either redeem a gift card or enter one of the other payment methods.
To redeem a card onto your account you can use the Redeem button at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app, or the Music tab in the iTunes store app, on your iPad. Or you can do it via your computer's iTunes, either via the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
Or by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option and selecting the payment details link on your account

Can you use a Canadian apple account/billing address on the mac app store in the uk

What up
Just wondering, can you use a canadian apple account with a canadian visa and billing address to purchase apps from the mac app store in another country (England)
Merci

Hi..
The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
From here > The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store | iLounge Article
Billing policy is the same for both the iTunes and Mac App Stores.

Is there a way to permanetly delete an app from Mac App Store Purchases, (not just hide it)?

The latest Apple update allows you to hide purchases in iTunes and Mac App Store. But to no avail am I able to find a way to permanetly delete Mac App Store Apps from the my account purchases.

hiding a purchase doesnt do the job because it makes it harder to orgenzie your apps when u want to download all apps to your computer you get the hidden ones too
and you ask your self why why whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy
and again u fined your self spending too much time delleting unwanted apps because you dont want your itunes to b a mass
if theres is a way to avoid downloading hidden app and i missed it im sorry apple
and please tell me how

From John, iTunes Store/Mac App Store Customer Support:
I am sorry that the Volume Purchase Program is not available in the U.K.
iTunes store accounts (these accounts can be used for purchases at the iTunes store, app store and Mac app store ) are available for personal use only. You may consider having an account in your name and allowing each employee to download the same app from the same account as you can redownload apps you have purchased from the Mac App Store without incurring additional charges.
this way you retain control of your account and your purchases.
My Reply:
Ok I will follow your suggestion but it appears to go against your own terms and conditions!
From John, iTunes Store/Mac App Store Customer Support:
Basically you are setting up an iTunes store account in your name and, like in family account, different people can synch their devices to the account and download purchase items.
Then, you can redownload apps you have purchased from the Mac App Store without incurring additional charges.

Change language in mac app store

Is there any way to select the language in the Mac App store without changing your billing country?
Specifically, I am an expat living in Netherlands with a Dutch address but would like to use the App Store in English.
The only option seems to be to change the country to the UK, but if I do that I cannot purchase anything because I have no billing address there.

Hi ...
You can change the country by clicking the round flag icon bottom right corner of the App Store window.
For purchasing your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Mac App Store: How do I get a refund?????!!!!!

Ok, 5 days ago I purchased LEGO: Pirates of the Carribeen (on sale, if it helps). That night I stupidly closed my MacBook and the next morning I was back to square one. Just before the halfway mark I had to leave for 2 days (with my MB) and go to a place with... DUN DUN DUN... No Wifi. When I came back I thought I'd finish my download. 10 minutes later. Error 404 or something like that.. Maybe 403. Anyways, I had to retry. So I did. 5 Minutes later. Same again, but this time The App DISAPPEARED FROM MY PURCHASES LIST!!!!! I really want my money back but I don't know who to contact or how.
P.S I read in the Terms and Conditions that within 90 days I can get a refund so now I just need to know how.
Thanks!!!
yebbut

Changing your DNS server may help the error 403 issue.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK
Relaunch the App Store.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
No idea which T&C you are reading but Apple's policy clearly states that, "all sales are final" > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Mac App Store purchase stuck on 'Installing'

So I bought Napoleon: Total War earlier this evening. After a surprisingly long download time, the game began installing. The progress bar told me this would take 27 minutes. More than 2 hours later and it's still stuck on this 'installing in 27 minutes' business. I have googled the issue and found similar posts to mine, however most of them have been resolved by emptying the Mac App Store Cache or deleting the HDD/Library/Update files, or simply rebooting the Mac. However, none of these have worked and time is still ticking on. If anyone can give me a hand as to how I can resolve this then it will be hugely appreciated. Ideally, I'd love my £21 back however I know how extremely unlikely that is.

Hi TomCorbishley
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to want to get a refund for a purchase. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
Report an problem with an item you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
