Issue to buy apps from Mac App Store

Helo everyone!
Unfortunately I am still experiencing difficulties with App Store. Today I formatted my Mac Book Pro and set it with my Apple ID (@me.com). This Apple ID is the one that I use in my iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both are working perfectly.
After I've set the Mac Book Pro, I checked purchase pane and I saw the apps iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband and the following message:
" To receive updates, the packages of apps iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand will be assigned to your Apple ID. One specific hardware ID of your computer should be sent to Apple to verify the classification."
When I tried to Accept the apps, again I couldn't install because those apps were assigned to another Apple ID.
When I purchased the Mac Book Pro, in that occasion I think I've assigned those apps with another Apple ID that I used (@hotmail.com). I don't remember the password and I didn't use anymore this Apple ID.
Probably the problem should be in this point. Those apps are assigned with Apple ID (@hotmail.com) and my Hardware ID (9BD1BCC6-44AD-5C0A-8DE4-185C11311D74).
Is there a way to remove this association (ID @hotmail.com and Hardware ID)?
Is there a way to reset the "Accept" option (picture 3) so I can actually purchase the apps?

Once you have accepted the bundled apps into an Apple ID you cannot change that. If Lion came installed on your Mac when you bought the Mac, it is also assigned to that Apple ID. Normally Apple does not merge Apple IDs, nor change content acquired with one ID to another ID. You should try to resurrect your old Apple ID by updating the password.

App store won't let me update Final Cut Pro X

Issue with the App Store showing up blank.

Issue with the App Store, it will not let me search for new apps. The screen is blank. The update section and features section works, but it will not let me search for new apps. I have restarted my phone and no changes. The newest update to the iphones when the iphone 5 came out, i think, messed up this app. When i am looking at how to fix it, it tells me to delete it and try again, but the App store is not a deletable app. Any ideas why my App store, specifically the search section of this app doesn't work?

I suspect it is on Apple's side of things. Mine was blank too, but now it works again. Fixed itself one morning.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Consider yourself lucky that your MacBook is still working. Now, turn it off. Wine may have damaged other parts of your computer.
Then, take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be a very expensive repair, as it's not covered by warranty and the logic board has to be replaced. In some cases, it may be better to get a new MacBook.
If you can't take it to an Apple Store, contact with Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

What happens when you try to buy something? If there is an error message,
what is the exact wording of that error message?
Where are you located? Which country's AppleStore are you attempting to use?
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552

My itouch is asking me for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let me buy anything from the iTunes store. I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.

My daughter's itouch (registered to my apple account) is asking for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let her buy anything from the iTunes store. I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers. How do I reset the security questions or get rid of them appearing altogether? I can purchase apps on my phone (same apple account) and it doesn't ask me for security questions.

My Apple ID is only limited to Indonesia iTunes Store. I would like to buy some music from iTunes USA Store. How could I use my Indonesia-based credit card in order for me to buy music from another iTunes store? The iTunes Indonesia store is very limited.

Is there a way to buy something from an iTunes store other than my own local one?

Is there a way to buy something from an iTunes store other than my own local one?

No, unless you have a valid billing address in that country and you are in that country when purchasing from it - otherwise you can only purchase from the store that is based in the country where you are.

Thank you

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 then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

I want to buy something from the itunes store and I don't have the answers to my security question?

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset, which can be done by clicking here and picking a method for your country, or if that's not an option, by filling out and submitting this form.

Having major issues with Amazon App Store on my Passport

I got my Passport earlier this week. I haven't been able to download any apps from the Amazon App Store. Everytime I try to download anything from the Amazon App Store, I get a "download failed" message and a popup saying "There was an error while downloading.... Please try again".
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Please let me know if you did and, more importantly, how this issue is fixed. At this point, I can't download ANYTHING from the Amazon App Store.
I've made phone calls and had live chats with Amazon and they can't help me. Any help I can get here on the forum will be greatly appreciated.

Amazon apps aren't updated as often and are usually behind the most current versions. While it doesn't happen that often I've gotten around the Google Services issue by using Lucky Patcher (there is a thread on CrackBerry about it) to rebuild the apk. It requires a few extra steps but I've only had to do it with a handful of apps.

Trouble to download free issue on the App Store

We successfully published our multi-issue version of ffw MAG (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ffw-mag/id417263570?mt=8) and launched the first edition in February.
However, this month, when we uploaded the 2nd FREE issue (via bundler), although the procedure seemed to have worked perfectly, but in order to download the new issue, the customers are asked to:
"Please update your app. This issue is available for download, but requires a newer version of the app. Please update your app from the app Store".
Please, help me!

Hi, Bob
Thanks a lot!
You know where i find the drop 9?

Anyone else has issues with BC App Store?

Hi All,
Has anyone else had issues with the BC App Store?
Long story short I hope:
We purchased Client Trainer through the App Store, the app didn't get applied to our account and we waited over an hour before contacting support. Once we contacted support, we were told that the Database on the server had issues and that was the reason why the App wasn't added, but it was now fixed and we needed to the Fresh Install. We logged in and could see that both the Update and Fresh Install buttons where available, we clicked on Fresh Install the OAuth window opened up with the App Name: Client Trainer (version 1.0.2), App Developer: BC Gurus and Website: which meant to be a live search, we double clicked the input field, nothing happened... Began typing the name of the website... Nothing happened. We then tried a different web browser, nothing happened. We contacted BC support thinking that because it was an OAuth issue to contact them but no, it's not we needed to contact BC App Store support who is owned by BC Gurus. A few emails back and forward between us and support and as I write this post we get another email saying "i have to extend this to Adobe. I should hear back from them early next week. Thank you for your patience.".
I'm really not happy with the fact that BC App Store is maintained by a 3rd party provider, BC support won't help, BC Gurus can't do anything until Adobe helps them with the issue. I was really looking forward to developing BC Apps, however this has made me not want to develop and I think Adobe need to take over the running of the BC App Store if they want it to take off.

Hi Kati,
Thanks for the notes on your issue. I completely understand your frustration and apologize for any inconvenience this is causing your business.
I have found your tickets and am looking into the issue. I can assure you that we take running the App Store very seriously and have worked hard with Adobe engineering to make the purchase and distribution of apps seamless. You are right that some of the issues that come in have to be resolved in collaboration with BC engineering and that is the case with this issue. I'm not sure why you are not getting any sites in the oAuth window - but I know that we'll be able to resolve that as soon as possible. We're still in the early days of the project and continue to come across edge cases that cause problems. We want these resolved for good.
In the future, if you could direct all App Store related issues directly to BC App Store support, that will save a step if these types of issues come up in the future. The general retail BC support has little to no connection to the under-workings of the App Store - in these early stages, it's imperative that my team is able to get the issue as soon as possible in order to investigate and escalate to our contacts in BC engineering, if the issue is on their side.
While I understand your concerns about a 3rd party running the marketplace, I hope that we have been able to prove our business in the BC market over the last 6 years. Not only that, but I think most partners would agree they would rather have BC engineers focused on core platform than operation of the App Store.
I hope that you will still consider developing apps for the platform in the future. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me directly: [email protected]
Thanks again for your patience on this issue.

When your peruvian customers will be able to buy music from the apple store?

I am a customer from Peru and i can see that everyone in the world can buy music directly from his/her apple store in his/her country (USA, Spain,Canada, etc) but i cannot do it at the eperuvian store. I can buy hundreds of another apps but not any a single song, and this is just frustrating because i can change to another store buyt i cannot buy music!
I have gone to the local distributors but none seems to know the answer and it seems it is a big mistery when will this happen...
As a customer i cannot get the whole experience of apple and i am very desappointed.
Whay can´t we buy music yet? I would appreciate and answer because i would like to continue buying another of your products but this matter really is annoying to me.
Best Regards

Manuel,
That is not correct. iTunes operates about 120 country-specific stores. Many of the iTunes Stores do not sell music. Many countries do not have an iTunes Store at all.
I know it is frustrating. We do not know when it will come to Peru, as Apple does not announce its plans for future sales. However, you can buy MP3s from any online music retailer that operates in Peru, and add them to your iTunes library.
