Trouble signing into Apps Store

Hello everybody, I need some help here! I have a problem accessing Apps Store after updating to Maveriks, everything works just fine
except for when I need to sign into Apps store, it keeps me waiting and nothing happens untill I press Cancel. ANY help would be really useful
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot insafe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Getting "an unknown error has occurred" when signing into apps store

I'm getting "an unknown error has occurred' when I tried to sign into Apps Store from one of my Mac Air. This is the only device that is having sign in problem. I can sign into Apps Store from another Mac Air, iPad and PC. What gives?

Make sure Date and Time settings are correct.

IIs there going to be a fix anytime soon for the iOS 8 update to ipad? Cant sign into App Store or update apps?

Hello Panthercat222,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where you are unable to connect to the iTunes Store please follow the steps below.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Take care,

Ipad wont sign into app store, safari pages not loading

I bought an ipad 2 used. It wont sign into itunes store or app store and safari isnt loading anything. I am connected to a working wifi. It is signed into my icloud, and facetime. When signing into imessage it says check network connection. Then verification failed. I finally I updated it to ios 7.1.2 hoping it might fix it. still same issue. What am I missing or did i buy a problem child?

I hesitate to post again since I could be suggesting things that you already tried - like the first thing that I suggested - but I would try Resetting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Even if every other device in the house can connect to the network, sometimes that helps.
IF that doesn't work, and if you post again, let us know what you have already tried so we are not suggesting the same things that you've already attempted.

I am unable to sign into app store

well you can go onto the icloud website and use the email and password you use on the app store and try to login in with that because its the same one for the app store. if that doesnt work you have been either using the wrong password or the wrong email

I cannot sign into App Store. "unknown error" and then "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"

I cannot sign in to the App Store.
I changed countries a few months ago and updated all my account info and everything was working fine, until recently, while trying to upgrade my softwear to Mavericks, which I cannot do. My apple Username and password work fine on iTunes and on my iPhone. I can also access all my account info when I sign in through the website. It just will not work for the App Store on my Mac Pro.
When I click "Welcome" under Quick Links it asks me to sign in. I sign in with my Apple Username and Password and then it DOES NOTHING
When I click on "Free Upgrade" and then "Install" on the mavericks software, it asks me to sign in again. This time it says "unknown error" and then it says "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
I''m completely blocked. I cannot procede without being able to update my software.
Please help me.

You could try this.
Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

"an unknown error has occurred" to sign into App store

when signing into the app store it will not let me sign in and says "an unknown error has occurred."

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store.

HT4479 Credit card security code not accepted when trying to sign into App Store for the first time

I have just signed up for an Apple ID. I want to download Twiter for Mac from the App Store. When I try to log in, it tells me this is the first time I have tried using this ID and asks me to register my credit card details. I have entered all the information they ask for but it tells me my security code (CVV) is invalid. Is there any way to fix this, or to sign in without giving my credit card details?
Thanks.

Help! Cannot sign into app store with updated apple id.

Hello there, I hope someone could help me resolve the following problem.
So I've been using my Apple ID with a hotmail address for a long time. Today I changed the primary email address of my Apple ID to a gmail address. I DIDN'T create a new Apple ID, I just updated my old one using the "Manage my Apple ID" link.
After the change, I was able to change the info on my macbook air, and Messages. But I couldn't log into iCloud, App Store, or iTunes Store. They kept telling me that the email and password I entered were wrong. So I tried rebooting my laptop, didn't work. I tried resetting the password on the webpage via the "Manage my Apple ID" again, didn't work.
Now I'm freaking out.
Can someone help me please??? Is there a significant step I'm missing while trying to use my new Apple ID email address to log in?

OK, alright, I think it's just Apple acting slowly...
One hour afte I changed my email, app store finally can recognize the new address and password.
Problem solved...

Cant sign into App Store since upgrade

Since upgrading to 5,0.1, I am not able to update my apps. I can sign in & our of the iTunes store with no issues. Please help - I have 22 items that need to be updated. I have changed my password several times already.

Hello All,
I had the same problem when I manually changed my time to be one hour earlier, as my phone adjusted to summer time, and the government here in Egypt decided to cancel the summer time for this year. When I switched my time settings from manual to automatic again, all is back to normal and I was able to sign in to my app store account, and started downloading new apps normally.
Obviously, it has to do with time settings on your phone. Set time to automatic, and give it a try.
Let me know if it works for you.
Cheers

I can't sign into Apps Store after changing my apple ID

i just changed my Apple ID and now I can't access my Apple Store or Update my Apps on my IPhone. I tried logging into my Apple Account in the Settings menu. The account verification shows my proper ID, but when I put in the password, it doesn't recognize the Password, just clears the screen then asks me for my password again. Please help.

Hello eiffel6534983,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of what you are describing. If you have recently changed the information associated with your Apple ID (not created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful:
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
