MacApp Store intermittently showing message no internet connection

I am experiencing an issue with the MacApp store displaying an error message "An Internet Connection is Required"
This is only happening after I have loaded the store and  are switching between, 'Featured' and other tabs.
For example, If I move to 'Update' updates are searched for, then if I tap 'Featured' I get the error message
This has been happening for some time and I think it could be todo with the Mac Software update?

If you have Little Snitch, or an anti-virus util, turn that crap off.
Also, do you have the secure web proxy on? Turn it off too.
system preferences / Network / Advanced / Proxies / and turned off secure web proxy.

  • Just downloaded 10.5.  It gives me a blank screen for the itunes store.  No error message.  Internet connection fine.  Have checked firewall.  Any ideas?

    I have just downloaded 10.5.  it gives me a blank screen for the itunes store.  No error message.  Internet connection fine and I have checked my firewall settings.  Any ideas?  Or is the store blocked because of ios 5 release today?

    I've had the exact same issue since late last night since I downloaded 10.5
    I'm also having problems backing up my iPhone, which I suspect is due to the same issue.
    I've tried all recommended solutions on forums and Apple support (deleting backups, restarting phone/computer, disabling/uninstalling third party security software, testing port connectivity) and none of them work.
    I will try japiohelp's solution and see if that does anything.

    Hey William,
    It sounds as though you are having difficulty with your Mac being unable to connect to the Mac App Store. This article has some steps that may help you troubleshoot -

  • App Store says I need an internet connection-

    App Store says I need an internet connection… and I'm on the internet. What's up? I've updated to OS X 10.8.5

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select

    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection

    My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection

    As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
    I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
    I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

  • I have done upgrade to 8.1.2. Now iPad a iPhone will will not connect to iTunes, iCloud or do updates on apps.Shows message "unable to connect" or "error in connecting"  as well as "unable to verify". How can this be sorted?

    Hi,
    Thanks.
    I have tried signing out and in, still does not work.
    Still just get the previously mentioned "messages".
    I wanted to restore, but then you have to turn off "find my ipad/iphone" but this is not allowed, as I cannot connect to the itunes/icloud or app store. The units work with current apps. EG; email etc, and with apps that do not require current updates.
    Thanks

  • ITunes RADIO is not working.  "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again." Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so -  iTu

    iTunes RADIO is not working.
    “iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.” Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so …
    iTunes STORE not “connectable” with my otherwise perfectly-working internet connection, viable, up and running for all other uses.
    Simply put, firstly, I can't connect to the internet when I click on Radio.  People are quite suspicious that this is Apple incompetence or your company's famous arrogance for this commonly-suffered problem that you won't or “can’t” fix.
    Read the many web comments and you won’t be pleased with yourselves: the suspicion is that if you ruin internet radio on iTunes, Apple will somehow make more money on music downloads, etc. Bull.
    Also, thirdly, my old playlist of 20 or so internet radio stations in the Ambient category STILL PLAYS !
    Then fourth, I installed the latest available version of QuickTime Player 7.app Version 7.6.6 but it didn’t solve the problem either. I had QuickTime Player.app Version 10.2, but substituted what Apple website said was the latest, LOWER NUMBERED QuickTime Player version of 7.6.6
    Fifth, I can't connect to iTunes store no matter what I do or what user group's advice I try. So I can’t buy or download anything from iTunes. Bad for business.
    Sixth, I updated to the latest version of iTunes but this weird problem remains. All suggested Apple fixes or user group fixes are useless. Where is Apple’s famous technical competency, vaunted customer support?, and user-friendly product reputation? Get it back, please.
    Solve this problem of yours ASAP for us, your numerous disgruntled, dissatisfied customers of iTunes. You can do better, should, and really –in all fairness- must.
    ===============================================================
    NOTE:  no password for iTunes exists in my Keychain. Is this a problem?
    Apple ACCOUNT ID, and iTunes ID password, works but not to access iTunes with my healthy internet connection.
    Apple store id It works via direct internet connetion but not through iTunes.  Very strange.

  • HT4623 How to update software without wi-fi? It shows message that first connect to wi-fi then update even if I have 3G net on my phone i5.

    How to update software without wi-fi? It shows message that first connect to wi-fi then update even if I have 3G net on my phone i5.

    Hi Parmkshinde,
    Here's why you should use Wifi to do a wireless software update:
    While you'd be able to download an update over 3G/4G, the updates are so big that you'll be waiting a really long time (also, you'll eat up a ton of your monthly wireless data), so Wi-Fi is much easier here. You should also make sure you've got plenty of battery life. The download and installation process can take some time, so if you've got less then 50% battery, you may want to plug in to a power source.
    Hope this answers your question!
    Cheers,

  • When trying to connect to itunes store, I get message "itunes cannot connect to the itunes store"

    When trying to connect to itunes store, I get message "itunes cannot connect to the itunes store"

    same here for Windows Seven, it also says "The network connection timed out"  Been like this for days.

  • Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn)

    Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn) Enter your DSL Account logon psassword to switch the internet connection to this computer. If I do that, other messages follow. I am usually able to switch connection, but can have only one device on internet at a time. Tried to correct problem using Airport Utility, but failed.

    Unfortunately, there is mass confusion about whether a device might be a modem or a modem/router since the terms are mixed up all the time. Even though a device might have only one Ethernet port, it can still be a router.
    If this is your "modem".......
    http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/netopia-cayman-3341-router/4507-3319_7-30484785. html
    It is not a modem.....it is a modem/router. If that is the case, then the AirPort Extreme is not the only router on your network....it is one of two routers, and it should be configured to operate in Bridge Mode.
    Does this device appear to be your "modem"?

  • Cannot update to latest software. error message states internet connection timed out

    Does anyone have a similar problem? I cannot update to the latest software for my I Phone 4. The error message says, internet connection timed out. Which is obviously has not. It also says check your internet settings. I am not sure what that means. I have windows 7.

    If the disabling the firewall doesnt help, then also try disabling your anti-virus, this was what was causing me an issue.
    Although make sure you re-enable both your firewall and anti-virus after the update completes.

  • Guest network on express message no internet connection main wifi still works on express

    guest network on express message no internet connection main wifi still works on express

    We need a bit more information to be able to troubleshoot your issue.
    The most common cause of Guest Network / No Internet problems is trying to use the AirPort with a modem/router or gateway device.
    The AirPort needs to be connected to a simple modem in order for the Guest Network feature to operate correctly.
    Can you provide the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?
    We don't know if you are using a Mac or PC to try to configure the Express, so some information about what operating system your computer is using would be helpful.

  • What does message No Internet Connection mean?

    I have an Iphone 4 and keep getting message No Internet Connection. Please advise.

    It means your not connected to wifi. Wifi is the internet, which is what you use to go  on youtube, instagram, google, facebook, etc. Same for the computer, it allows you to go on the internet explorer or whatever you use. Usually the password on your wifi box (sorry dont know what its called) is the one to connect to your wifi connection, that is, if you have one. Hope this helps! go head and flag this This helped me. New at this

  • Can anybody help me? i have an error message about internet connectivity when i try to download garage band content every time.

    I am having issues with logicpro x and garage band using marverics.
    After the installation is done when opening the program almost 90% trhu i get an error message content could not download because of internet connectivity.
    I try different connection still same error mesage.
    Any body had the same issue, can you help please

    After the installation is done when opening the program almost 90% trhu i get an error message content could not download because of internet connectivity.
    Is this the in-app purchase, that does not suucceed? Then check this support document:
      GarageBand for Mac (v10.0): Unable to complete in-app purchase
    The error message can also be due to antivirus software or firewalls peventing the installer to contact the store.  Then it would help to boot your Mac into Safe mode, to disable all non-standard extensions and try again to download the additional content:  
    See this:   Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode

  • I cannot connect to itunes store or safari but my internet connection is working, why is this?

    My internet connection is working, however, I cannot connect to itunes store, safari or updates on my MacBook when connected to my home wi fi. I can do so if I connect to another wi fi account, e.g. at work.  Also I can connect to safari and itunes store using my home wi fi if I use my ipad or iphone.  I have tried to re-authorize the Mac Book in case that is the issue but I cannot beacuse safari and itunes store not working.  My internet provider say they do not know what the problem is.
