MacApp Store won't let me login. "Unknown Error."

MacApp store is telling me there are updates available. When I try to download them it responds to my password with "Unknown error has occurred". Tried logging out and back in to my account on both the Mac and the App store but App Store is refusing to do anything other than tell me an unknown error has occurred. Apple ID is still functioning as I can login to iCloud without any issues. Anyone else having this problem right now? Is the App store just out of action for maintenance or overloaded due to Black Friday? Currently running 10.8.2 with all updates installed (other than the third party app updates that led to me discovering this issue).

All working fine now. Problem must have been at Apple's end! Perhaps a more informative message than "Unknown Error" is called for? Just a suggestion!

My app store won't let me download none of the older versions of apps for my ipod touch 2g.

My app store won't let me download any of the older versions of an app, but in my sisters case she can and she has an ipod touch 2g just like me. She was able to download kik, twitter, instagram, and some more apps that told me I had to have ios 4.3.1 or higher to download. and theres only one app I want and its kik, can someone help me figure out whats wrong with my app store, it would be a great help.

Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

My phone has the correct AppleID in the in settings section but asks me to login with one that isn't mine. I deleted the ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with mine. How do I get my iPhone on the same page?

My iphone4 has the correct Apple ID in the information settings section and asks me to login to my ID most of the time but when I try to update my apps, it asks me to login with an ID that isn't mine. I deleted the wrong ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with my own ID to update apps. How do I get my iphone on the same page?

How did you obtain these apps? All apps are DRM protected & tied forever to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID(account), nor can they be updated using any Apple ID other than the one that was used to originally obtain them.

Apple store won't let me download

Just got my iPad today. Downloaded the facebook app and another one, then did the new IOS update now the App Store won't let me download anything. It keeps asking me to fill out three security questions but after I submit them it says the session has time out. I've googled it and the answer was to turn the iPad off then on again, that did not work. I signed out and back in. My brother got the same new iPad. He had an existing iTunes account and did the IOS update and is not having any dramas. This really ***** cos I basically can do nothing but surf the Internet with my new iPad...

Enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device:
Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
*Note* If you power off the device using the AssistiveTouch panel (tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button, Device>Lock Screen (tap and hold to power off)), you will NOT be able to power on the device if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning. You will need to connect the powered off device either to a PC's USB port or an external charger to power the device back on.

Itunes store won't let me connect

For the past week the Itunes store won't let me connect. It says "itunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the itunes store within itunes...use software update"
I checked my software update and it says I have the latest version of Safari (I download it last week as well).
Any ideas? I purchase music from itunes almost weekly so this is a real pain right now.

Itunes store won't let me buy anything, why?

ok, i just got up the nerve to buy a $50 itunes card first time, now i feel like i was duped, it won't let me buy anything, i redeemed the points, look in the store and decided the first thing i wanted to get was the ipod touch upgrade, i click on it and it asks me for my apple id password, i enter it correctly click "Buy" and then asks me for the password again and this time instead of the button saying "buy" its says "billing info" now it now takes me to the page and all the info is right, im not using a card because i don't have one and i don't think i should need one because i have the itunes points which is clearly displayed beside my account name on the itunes program. now after i click done it just takes me back to the itunes store home page... so then i think maybe the update just isn't available at the moment, so then i look up the app "video safe" and try to buy it, same exactly thing happens, someone plzz help, im confused as to y i am not able to buy anything, i have the points, id like to use them
Message was edited by: insightdesigns

apple should really make that clear, thats the reason i bought the points for in the first place, to get apps and the update. man this *****, ok so pretty much if i don't have a credit card then im screwed right? i can't get the update or get apps unless they are free? are there app cards or something i can buy in order to buy them? kuz i can't get a credit card and i want to get this stuff, and if im not mistaken isn't this bad? its stopping ppl from spending money on this stuff, its cutting profit, if you could use it for all of it then im sure ppl would buy them alot more, kuz its "re-donk-u-less" that they don't have an easier way to get the stuff like apps and upgrades unless you hav a credit card. idk man, is apple going to change that anytimes soon?

App store won't let upgrade Keynote

I have Keynote Installed but want to upgrade to the new version and App store just says installed and won't let me. What should i do?

Bump. Same problem here. Apple, what say you?
I have some files on iCloud, saved from like a year ago. When I tried to open it, it says
You need a newer version of Keynote to open this presentation.
You can download the latest version of Keynote from the Mac App Store
And when I go to the link and pop open iTunes, it says it's "Installed". If I uninstall it, will it then cost me $20? Might give the impression that Apple is (intentionally) gating users out of their old files to force folks to pony up for the new version.

ITunes store won't let me click on albums

I use iTunes 10.6.3 on my iMac and a more recent version on my laptop. I find that when I use the iTunes store on the desktop, I click on an album and it tells me:
We could not complete your iTunes Store request.
The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
The thing is, everything else on the iTunes store works perfectly. It just won't let me go to the page of any album. What's up with that? It works fine on my laptop. Why not on my desktop?

Never mind! It's worked itself out!
