Problem with Maverics: Can not sign in to App Store, Mac slow, Aperture not working

I was using a Mac Book Pro 15" supplied with Snow Leopard. I have created an ID and used it to purchase apps such as Aperture. After buying an iPhone 5S, I wanted to share the contacts and was suggested by the seller to upgarde the Snow Leoprad to Maverics and use the iCloud. After installing the Maverics following happened:
- I can use iCloud and share the contacts, mission completed
- the Mac is running slow, really slow (as an old pc)
- Aperture can not be used, a major problem since all of my photos are stroed on an external disk via Apeture
- I can not sign in to App Sore to refresh my purchases and see if there is an update for Aperture
- I tried to sign in by clicking the forgot password and entering my ID (e-mail address) but have received no mail - total mistery
- I also see that the HP 7610 printer icon is not active and assume that will also be a problem
What should I do? I need a fast running computer. I need Aperture, all of my private and business photos are accessible only via Aperture. I can sign in with the same ID/password on an iPad. The problem is obviously due to installing the Maverics. I do not have a time machine/capsule.
Urgently need support, please help.

Just for the record, you should enter your Apple ID ([email protected]) and password...
Provided you did that and it doesn't work:
You're using an account with parental control active?
Do other logins with your Apple ID work? E.g. icloud.com, iTunes, ...?
Correction: I did correctly enter my Apple ID and its password. And there are no parental controls.
But I found a fix: I went to the Featured page and it showed me as logged in. I clicked the Account link and in the pop-up for that entered my Apple ID and Password. Now I can once again see my Purchases.
It would seem to have been some undue delay or glitch at the Apple server end.

Can't sign in on App store or iTunes

Just updated Mavericks and now I can't sign in to App Store or iTunes. I know it's the correct password; same one I used to sign in here.
Also, software update won't update Compressor for me. I tried trashing the app (as advised by Apple support) but App Store still shows it as something I need to buy.
Ideas?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ 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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Just bought a used Oct '13 MacBook Pro and I can't sign into the App Store as it still displays the old owners user ID in the login box (in fixed grey text). Any ideas of how I what I could do? Thanks.

The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted from the disc, the USB device, or Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

Could Not Sign In to App Store from iPad

I am unable to sign into the App Store from both my iPad Air and my iPhone 4.
When I enter the password, the following error message appears:
Could Not Sign In
FATAL::Unable to process your request. Please try again.
I have reset the password via the Apple web site and can sign in to the web site with no issues. (evidnced by ability to post this).
I have reset the iPad and no change.
Get same error in iTunes Store.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Tim

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
If nothing above has helped, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Although I am new to mac, I am not new to computers and purchasing online. I can't sign into the App store after installing Lion. I have had to change my password 4 times in 2 days . I am so sick of this. I am trying to buy a tutorial for Lion.

I recently downloaded Lion and since have had nothing but problems with my new i-Mac. My problem with the App store is only one issue. Has anyone out there had any trouble with their components after installing Lion 10.7??????? After several hours on the phone with a tech my situation isn't any better. I think the tech is sick of talking with me. He was supposed to call me today and the phone never rang. He told me he was working on something to repair my problems and needed to talk with engineers. How long could that take???? If it wouldn't hurt the person who gifted me this i-Mac, I would give it back.

I have my apple id, but i can't sign in into app store. What is the problem? I can't update my app...

I can use my apple id in itune and other other idevice, but in my macbook pro i can't sign in to my app store to download or update anythings. Anyone could help?

Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID, nor can they be updated using any ID other than the one used to originally obtain them. If the apps you're trying to update were obtained with a different ID than your current one, you have no choice but to use that ID.

I can't sign in to App Store or iTunes with current password since update 8.2

Can't Sign into the App Store?

After a lot of difficulty, I was able to open up the App Store properly due to a black screen and it saying I was connected to the internet when I really was.
The real problem now is how to sign in. When I press the sign in button on either the Store tab, then Sign in, nothing happens, also, when I go to the purchases tab or the featured tab and I press the sign in button, the text window does not pop up. Please help me just figure out how to get the app store to respond to me pressing sign in.
Thanks.
On a side note, this never happened to me when I was on lion or Snow Leapord, only Mountain Lion have I encountered this problem.

Your profile indicates you are running Mountain Lion which means you cannot use the original disc that came with your Mac to reinstall OS X.
You must use OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
"Clean my Mac," in order to clean out the computer and delete certain items, caches, etc. There's a chance by using that application, I checked off a few too many
A word to the wise... third party so called cleaning utilties such Clean My Mac cause far more harm than good on a Mac. Your Mac runs maintenance for you in the background.
Definitely uninstall that software. Download this free utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
That will not only uninstall the Clean My Mac app but all the associated files.
Then try the App Store BEFORE using Lion Recovery.
