My app store works but will not go to the sign in page. Why!?

I've opened up my app store on my mac for the first time. I have an apple ID and am confident using and purchasing through iTunes but although I can browse the store I cannot sign in to the store via any sign in link (either on the app store page or through the menu at the top). Why can't I access the sign in page so i can download and purchase apps! ?

I can't even get the sign in page. And I tried downloading something so that I forced it to ask me to log in but that didn't work either. Anyway, seems others have had this issue too. I found a post that said to trash some Library files and restart the computer and that fixed the issue for them. I gave it a go and Waaa-Laaah! Sign in page accessible! For anyone else having this issue the files to trash (and then restart) are:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost

  • Airport Express working - but will not connect to the internet

    I cannot get my airport express to connect to the internet although I have a green light on my base station and the cable company has confirmed that we are definitely connected to the internet. My kids can play xbox live - so I know for sure it is not an issue with our internet provider. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this issue?
    Thanks.

    Are you asking the make/model of the computer or the AX base station?
    Neither, I was interested in the make/model of the cable modem.
    Our ethernet connection was fried in an electrical storm so we had to go wireless.
    Electrical storms are never a good thing when it comes to electronics. What was/is your current network configuration? Is it something like the following?
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > AX > (wireless) > wireless devices
    Is there another router, other than the AX, in the configuration? ... or an Ethernet switch? I'm just trying to understand your network to best advise you on how to configure the AX.

    If it's in the purchased page and doesn't download, you should contact Apple.

  • ITunes recognizes my iPhone, but will not connect to the iTunes Store

    After having to re-install all the software on my computer, iTunes will recognize my iPhone 4 okay, but will not log into the iTunes Store using a valid user name and password.  I can still log in to the iTunes store on my iPhone, but just not on my computer. I get an error message that says, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."  I also conducted the "Run Diagnostics" test for network connectivity tests, device connectivity tests, and device sync tests.  All three tests passed with green lights.  However, I still get the following error message "One moment please, Connecting to the iTunes Store, Loading..." when I highlight the iTunes Store and attempt to log in with no success.  I also disabled the Windows 7 firewall as I did get a previous error message that said iTunes was not enabled in the Windows firewall.  I have my computer configured the same exact way I did before having to reinstall all my programs, and iTunes worked fine.  I've included some of the comments from the diagnostics below...
    Thanks for any advice you can provide.

    Disable anti virus softwrare if installed
    Check your settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
    Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

  • App is open but will not show photos

    App is open but will not show photos.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

    If you mean the DL appears to be stalled give it about half an hour, if there's no movement restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

  • This an IPOD I bought used.  Everything else works fine.  It syncs to my computer and plays my music but will not connect to the USB interface in my car. My wife's IPOD, which seems to be identical, works fine.  Any ideas?

    This an IPOD I bought used.  Everything else works fine.  It syncs to my computer and plays my music but will not connect to the USB interface in my car. My wife's IPOD, which seems to be identical, works fine. I should say it connects but then immediately disconnects.  Any ideas?

    Then my last suggestion is to Reset it, while connected to the BMW Audio.
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

  • My MBP will not lot start up. It chimes on but will not load up the OS. Any Ideas on how to reboot, btw i do not have the OS Disc.

    My MBP will not lot start up. It chimes on but will not load up the OS. Any Ideas on how to reboot, btw i do not have the OS Disc.

    The System DVDs that originally came w/your MBP has the troubleshooting tools.  Suggest that you find them.
    Do you have any 3rd party utility DVDs?  If so, they may work.  DW would be your best choice.  Does wonders.
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.

  • My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

    My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
    Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

  • When I upgraded to IOS5, my playlists no longer appear on the iPOD.  When I do a Sync, the playlists appear, but will not sync to the iPOD.  Any suggestions on how to resolve??

    When I upgraded to IOS5, my playlists no longer appear on the iPOD.  When I do a Sync, the playlists appear, but will not sync to the iPOD.  Any suggestions on how to resolve??

    I would understand it if you checked email on your Mac, and then those messages were not available on your iOS devices if you had the advanced account setting "remove copy from server after retrieving message:" set to immediately. 
    I looked through my iPhone settings and don't even see an option to tell my phone to pull the only copy of a message and delete it from the server.
    Possibly there is another setting in Lion (I am running Snow Leopard still) that tells your Mac to only synchronize mail to your iOs devices and is not pulling mail directly from iCloud. 
    You could try disabling your current iCloud email account in Mac Mail, and adding a new one and just telling Mail it is a standard IMAP account (imap.mail.me.com incoming and smtp.mail.me.com outgoing).
    I did that for Leopard to get my email even to work after MobileMe is cancelled and it seems to work fine with my iPhone.
    If that doesn't work, you can delete that new email account and re-enable the temporarily disabled iCloud email account from above.
    Hope this helps.

    My iPad receives email on the hotel wifi but will not send.  The error message reads "user name or password for smpt......is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged.  Restarting iPad did not help.

    I did try this too, but when I access my webmail on the iPad, the iPad doesn't allow me to type my message.  I am able to enter in the "to" address and the "subject" line, but then the keyboard will not come up for me to type my message.  Is there some trick to this?  Very frustrating!
