OSX reinstall starts and crashes after app store sign in

Hi,
I've been using Mountain Lion 10.8 which I've purchased from UK App Store with my App ID.
Recently I've erased my main hard drive and tried reinstalling OSX. In the utility I go to ''Reinstall OSX...''. I'm being told that the instalation will verify my machine, verification seems to go fine and I'm presented with Terms Agree/Disagree form. I aggree to the terms and then I'm asked to sign in. After my succesfull sign in this message appears:
''This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the UK iTunes store. You will be switched to that store.'' I press ''OK'', message box dissapears and nothing happens. I can see the first window again and can press ''Install'', after I press install everything starts all over again. I'm being verified again, agree to terms, enter my sign in just this time no ''UK iTunes store switch'' message appears, just first window again.
I'm trying to do the reinstall from Lithuania, can this have anything to do with it? I've bought mac in UK and my UK credit card is registerd with App Store.
Thanks

Seems the install started anyway, just had to wait for about 10 minutes with no ''loading'' indication, still strange

BRAWO!!!! It solves the problem.
Just hope that i would not be forced to download free Apps every thir day.
Here by us in South Africa, downloads is costing one.
Anyhow, thank you once more.

I started a download in app store and confirmed the billing information. if i cancel the download will i still pay for it?

Mail App keeps freezing and crashing after yosemite upgrade. Cant create new emails. Is there a fix to these issues?

Hi,
When I read these Threads in Yosemite I am filtered to show only the one listing Messages (the App) as the App involved.
This form of tagging a Thread no longer shows up in the current software used to run the Discussions.
Did you use the Mail and the Messages tags ?
It is difficult as many Mail help items refer to emails and "messages".
With me posting to the thread it should raise it to near the top again and maybe someone who knows about Mail will post.

I got the IOS6 update, and now the App Store always crashes. What happened?.

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

Since upgrade to ios6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and connecting to App Store and iTunes store

Q since upgrade to iOS6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and getting into App Store and itunes

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I updated my ad to iOS 6 and now my App Store app does not work, how can I get it back

I updated my iPad 2 with the latest iOS 6 and now my App Store application does not work right. The only part that does work is the genius, and the purchased, but I cannot search for any new apps now have the categories come up. I don't know how else to search for apps, and I don't know how to download this as it was pre installed.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

Messages.app no longer connects to Jabber after App Store auto-installed Remote Desktop Update 3.8.2

Messages.app no longer connects to my company's Jabber server after App Store auto-installed Remote Desktop Update 3.8.2 (even though I never purchased that app). The Remote Desktop app can not be found anywhere on my machines.
I suspect the Remote Desktop update because Messages stopped connecting on my office MB Air after the update but still worked on my home iMac. Next day the iMac received the update and Messages stopped connecting on that machine too.
Messages attempts to connect for several minutes (it's been trying for 30 mins as I type this) and just hangs. Occasional I get the following error message:
Error: Messages lost the connection to the Jabber account 'account'. A network error occurred.
I've tried:
- Deleting and recreating the Jabber account in Messages.app
- Toggling on/off SSL (SSL required by our server)
- Toggling on/off auto detect server and port (port 5222 on our server)
- Deleting every plist, cache, etc., I could find in the Library for any IM client I've ever used
- Checked that Keychain trusts the Jabber server SSL certificate (it is a self signed cert)
- Tried connecting from three completely different networks including the company VPN
- Multiple PRAM resets
- Setup a Google Talk account in Messages - works fine
I'm at a loss...
Kurt

I installed and setup Adium. Adium works but Messages.app still does not connect to Jabber.

Ipad2 very slow and crashing after OS8 upgrade 8.1.1

ipad2 very slow and crashing after OS8 upgrade 8.1.1. I have tried to restore, using the iCloud backup (twice) and it works well for a short while then slows and crashes again. Genius bar help said older versions of OS8 never closed apps, so a restore should fix it, but it didn't, even with a repeat.

IMac G5 tries to start and dies after spinning cog for a minute

iMac G5 tries to start and dies after spinning cog for a minute
I did this;
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
the result was.
the 'permissions' are sometimes wrong, but they repair
the hard drive is either repaired or OK
the iMac will then restart and work fine and sometimes shut down and restart OK
after replacing the Hard Drive I actually thought I had fixed it and went to bed late but happy,
on waking in the morning, however I was not so happy it fired up and then died after dong -> apple logo -> spinning cog -> dead!!
I would be grateful for any help
Thanks
Pete

Hi Miriam,
Thanks yes,
here we go -- after running disc utilities it tells me directory OK and disk OK (or something like that) When I replaced the Hard Drive, I started 'fresh' erased/formatted the hard drive (new Seagate Barracuda 7200 500GB) and it has just got 'tiger' on it (and upgraded to whatever it is now I think I remember 4.11, I can't tell at the moment as I have got the back off) I didn't transfer any data I just took the old drive (Seagate 160GB) out and stuck the new one in.
I've just changed the battery (I didn't really think it would work, but I was still hopeful and I'd bought the battery anyway) I did the LED thing, the internal power button thing, and the resetting the SMU thing (with crossed fingers and bated breath) but -- so I'm thinking is it the power supply? I read some of Jim's weighty, but worthy tome and resolved to remove the power supply and have a look. On opening it up, it does look as though, one (at least) of the capacitors has 'blown' (by the way, just in case I sound like I know what I'm talking about, I don't of course, I'm just quoting Jim's words;-) I'd love to send you a picture of the inside of the power supply showing what I believe to be a 'blown' capacitator (and I'm going to try to send one to Jim as I think it might be useful to him and others. can I attach a photo in any way or would you like to send me your email address <Edited by Moderator>
Thanks
Pete
PS it's still 'weird' to me, why it starts and runs well, when started from tiger (or whatever) and then starts or restarts from the Hard Drive unless I leave it a few hours and come back and try to start it
again? wow it's late nearly 4.00am here in london UK.

I just updated to the new software and now my app Store is not working It is just a white blank page

I'm having a similar problem.
New iPad with iOS6 just downloaded.
I cannot purchase any new items from the new Apple Store now!
It keeps asking me to fill in CC details, asking for security number, but stays red when i fill in the 3 numerals and when I click done I get a Time Out message.
This is not good Apple!!
Looks as if I will have to use my iPad One to purchase from the Apple Store.
