Mac app store does not accept my apple password

The Mac App store does not accept my password for my apple ID. A red line appears that says "an unknown error has occured." The ID and Password are being typed in correctly, I am 100% sure of that. Credit card is up to date. Itunes is working fine and logged in to Apple ID. Ipad and Iphone are logged in, working fine. Have not installed Maverick, still using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.  I was going to update to Mavrick, but not sure I should with all the negative reviews and now this problem. Please help, thanks!

It's been reported that Apple's servers are having problems tonight. Just try again later.

  • Why doesn't Mac App Store does not recognize my apple ID?

    The Mac App Store is not recognizing my apple ID.  Please help.

    It works on my iphone.  It works for this forum.  It works for itunes.  It works for everything EXCEPT the Mac App Store, for which I've already used it to purchase apps that now need updating.  It just keeps saying "an unknown error has occurred" Grrr...

    App Store does not accept my bank card, what i have to do?

    The last app purchase did not go well. I still owe some money to the app store, but for some reason, because of this, it refuses my credit card details, even though they are correct and the bank says my card is fine.

  • HT204266 The App store is not accepting my Apple ID, which does work in iTunes

    My App store application on my MacBook Pro is not accepting my Apple ID.  The ID works O.K in iTunes at the store, except when I try to go to the app store and purchase something.  I've changed the Apple ID today, but it still doesn't work in the App Store.

    Is the anyway I can fix this, As I have 3 updates on my computer which I am unable to download due to it not accepting my Apple ID or Password??? Please HELP me

  • App store will not accept my Apple ID for updates after installing Mavericks?

    I have recently installed Mavericks on my Macbook Pro.  After installing it the two new updates for iPhoto and iMovie popped up.  I click on the 'update' icon and I am prompted for my Apple ID as usual.  After entering the correct ID the prompt disappears as if correct, but then re-appears asking for the password again.  The prompt does not actually say that the wrong Apple ID or password has been entered.  The updates do not install and the prompt remains.  I know I have the right ID because I can install other apps using the same ID.  I definitley have the right Apple ID.  Now I cannot open iPhoto because it says that the application is not compatible with the OS!  Has anyone got any tips on how to install these new updates and get around this error?  Any help would be appreciated.

    Following the info from support I enrolled into something called Mac Up to Date program, then you give them your serial number, invoice, etc... and then they seem to review the information and decide whether you qualify or not. I am still waiting for the answer, but I seem to be eligible (bought my new iMac on the 2nd of October and a few days after it was announced that all new Macs would receive iWork for free, so I guess my computer qualifies as 'new' - it is a late 2013 model after all).
    But right now all iWork apps still appear to me as paid apps on the Mac App Store. It would be much easier if they appeared as free apps right away, but it seems the Mac App Store is a bit temperamental. And then there is the problem with the iMovie and iPhoto updates, which some of us are unable to get and that it is not even generally acknowledged by the support staff.
    All these issues with the App Store are surprising for a company that takes pride in making things 'easy'

  • App Store does not recognize my Apple ID what should I do?

    My Apple ID does not work for App Store , when I click on App Store the id that appears on App Store is very different from my Apple ID

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • App store does not accept my password

    This is all of my problem. On my iPhone when I want to download something from the AppStore it always tells me that the password is incorrect. I checked the Id and it seems to be correct. So I try it on my Mac and it does not work. It tells me that the apple id must be in email form (I put it in without email ending). I add the email ending and it works. Glad it works  so I tried it on my phone and it didnt work. I noticed that before I entered the password it says just "example" where it should be "[email protected]"     I went to see if I can change the settings it says it is in email form. But it removes the email ending when I am in the AppStore. Is there anyway to fix this???  PLEASE HELP ME???  thank you

    All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account/Apple ID that was used to download the apps. You will need to use the Apple ID that was used to download the apps to install app updates.
    Apps downloaded with one Apple ID can't be transferred to another ID and accounts can't be merged.

  • Why doesn't Mac App Store does not recognize my new Apple ID?

    I change my Apple Id several weeks ago and everything seemed fine until I tried to update a game in the App Store.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    To update an App Store product, you must sign into the store with the same ID you used to purchase it.

  • Installed Maverick. App Store will not accept my Apple ID

    Need help with the Apple ID in the App Store. It works fine in everything else as well as different devices. After install it showed I needed to upgrade iTunes which I pit in my Apple ID and it downloaded. Now it wants Pages, Keynote and Numbers to upgrade but it won't accept the Apple ID. 

    Open App Store, click on the Support link under Quick Links on the right side. Request help there.

  • APP Store does not accepted my id and password

    we open an account, follow every single step and we try to download applications, but apple store doesn't accept the id or password

    Go to id.apple.com.  Click on Manage Apple ID.  Type in your Apple ID & password. 
    If it works there, then you're typing it incorrectly on your device. 
    If it doesn't work there, then you're using the wrong password.  Change it at iforgot.apple.com.

  • App store will not accept my Apple ID Password

    I try to connect to the app store to download and app or update existing app
    i click on "get" for a free application downloadm the system just keep on asking me for password , it seems that for 3-5 sec it starts the download process and then again it asks for the password
    I try to use "wrong" password and i get "wrong password" notice, so i know that i am using the rigth passward - it just wouldnt connect.
    i try to "open" the option to use my fingure recognition optino for App - this is also asking for the password and go back to "close" and wouldnt allow me to use it.

    Test your Apple ID & Password at id.apple.com.  Click on Manage Apple ID, and then sign in.  If it works, then try this.  Close the app.  Restart the device.  Open the app up again and try to log in.
    If the password doesn't work at id.apple.com, then reset the password.
    Also, take a moment to double-check that it really is the exact same Apple ID.  I've seen issues were there was a misspelling and someone ended up with two very, very similar Apple IDs ( example:  'b•••••@g•••••.com & b•••••@g•••••.comz)

  • I have lost my contacts on my IPhone5 and have tried to go into ICloud, but it does not accept my Apple password, I have changed the password many times.  What do I do?

    I completed the updates on my IPhone5, now I have lost my Contacts, I tried going into my ICloud, but the password that I use does not work (Apple Password).  I have changed it many many times and it still won't work.  The ICloud is trying to VERIFY, but stays at that point.

    By searching with the "Find my iPhone" system, the device is OFFLINE and does not appear on the map.
    I have already written to the lost property office of the Linate Airport but at the moment they do noto have yet responded.
    I have already forwarded the complaint to the police.
    How can I find out it if my iPhone 5 is offline?

I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

  • When you register your credit card for the first time in Mac App store, Does Apple put through a 1 dollar charge to verify the card ?

    When you register your credit card for the first time in Mac App store, Does Apple put through a 1 dollar charge to verify the card ? Please I need this answer so as to download the latest Mountain Lion upgrade. Thnx in advance.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Many folks have reported that this is true. However, the charge is not taken to the second step of completing the charge and the $1 revolves back to your account.

  • Allow the "Select a Color" eyedropper to select from the image.

    For example: you want to enhance the sky with blue...  it takes several attempts to get a natural oxygen blue from the rainbow box.  The ability to select that color direct from the image would give quicker and more accurate results.
