My macbook software is up to date but I am still unable to download the app store, any ideas?
I have a macbook which is about 5 years old now and is not yet running OS X Lion. I checked for software updates and it says my system is up to date. Unfortunately it still wont let me download the app store without updating my software but there is nothing to update from what i can see. Im trying to upgrade to OS X lion but i cant get that till i figure out how to download the app store so if anyone knows another way to go about it I would appreciate that.
The Mac App store requires Snow Leopard (10.6.6) what is your OS

I have a brand new Core i5 Windows 64bit laptop, but cannot connect to the iTunes Sore. I have tried every solution suggested in the discussion groups but I still cannot connect. This includes completely removing all security and firewalls, and I still cannot connect. I have re-load the software in different combinations again to no avail. Any ideas anyone?
Could you walk us through what happens (when you try to connect to the Store) in some more detail, please?

Hi. I have just upgraded to the IPhone5. I have synced to WIFI and I am still unable to connect to ITunes, App Store or Safari. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help. NR1420What happens when you try? Do you get an error message.
disconnect from the wifi and try on cellular data, if you can access the apps, then the problems lies with your router. -

Hello,
10.5.8 is as far as 10.5 can go, there haven't been any "updates" for some time for 1.5.x, what you need is a paid "Upgrade", but to see what might work on your Mac...
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware> and report this upto but not including the Serial#...

Trying to downloads App store application for the sole pupose of downloading a purchased OS update 10.7. We cannot download the app store until we have a software update but need the software update to download the app store.
There is no Mac App Store app that you can download. The Mac App Store is installed with the update of previous installations of Snow Leopard to version 10.6.8. v1.1.
Does your Mac have OS X Snow Leopard installed? If not, you have to install it before you may go further. -
I'm so angry!! I bought my iphone as 16GB and it fills up to 13.2 GB only!! I think a software will not fill 2.8 GB (ps: still didn't download the new software!)
16 GB is a rounded up or rounded down value -- it makes it easier when advertising a product. I don't have an iPhone but almost always it is a rounded up value, so you start off with a bit less.
See the link by Stedman1 about how computer mathematics makes this less. When advertising they use 16 GB in base ten terms, but when your device uses base 2 which means it is shown as less.
Don't forget simply formatting a drive for use in an electronic device will use some space. No files on it yet that you see.
Your phone comes with some version of iOS. This will take up space and that is not factored in advertising a device.
This kind of space reporting has taken place since the first computers were sold. It's nothing new and all electronics manufacturers do it. -
How do you have Google searches appear in new tab? This was previously not a problem, but it changed and I cannot return the setting. Any ideas?
I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....
Time to send your serial # to iTS and let them see what's happening here.

macbook air suddenly running slow. Closed all applications, rebooted, doesn't solve the problem. Any ideas?
It's very likely that your boot drive is failing. Back up all data immediately and schedule a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Every time i enter my appleID in my MacBook Pro it says-"Your apple ID has not yet been used with the app Store" what should i do? i have even verified my appleID account..please help
Hey there Mark,
If this is indeed the first time that you have used your Apple ID in the iTunes or App store you do need to have a payment method the first time you set it up:
Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
If you've already created your Apple ID, you'll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment methodafter you sign in to the store. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I have recently upgraded my mac and ipad to IOS7 and find that Safari will not load onto my iPad. It just shuts down the app. Any ideas? I have been onto Mac who took me through a very long iPad robot, but the problem is still the same! Help appreciated
Do you mean that you did a soft-reset ?
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't fix it then try closing Safari via the iPad's multitaskingbar and see if it works when you re-open it :double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Safari app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
After trying the above you could also do a soft-reset (even if this is what you've already done it might be worth trying after clearing Safari's cache and closing the app via the taskbar) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?
On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed. -
I have an Ipad My apple ID and password works for Ibooks and Icloud but when I try to get into the app store it doesn't show my entire email address on the account.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.
