"Unknown Error" in the App Store on my iMac.

I get an "Unknown Error" when trying to purchase an app in the App Store on my iMac.  I do not get this error in iTunes on the same Mac and using the same username/password or in the App Store on my iPad.  Very frustrating.  I've read some other threads and tried to delete the networkinterface.plist thing, but that didn't work either.

Google Earth is made by Google and they choose not to distribute their app that way. The App Store is convenient but by no means compulsory for developers.
EBay is a website, not an App.

  • 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.

    Why am I receiving an "unknown error message" when I attempt to upgrade my X OS from 10.8 to Yosemite?  It says "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later (4)."  This happens only when I check for updates/upgrades for my software and then try to upgrade Yosemite in the App Store. Thanks for any help!

  • There was an error in the app store

    I have an Iphone from which I can purchase items from the app store using my account, however I got myself a MacBook Pro and more recently an IMac and on both machines I am unable to buy apps. I can get free apps but unable to buy any which have a cost. I have not got a credit card registered and instead prefer to use Itunes/App top up cards.
    I am faced with the following when I attempt to purchase an app on either the MacBook or IMac;
    We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)
    I click OK and the following message appears
    Security information required - To help ensure the security of your Apple ID we require additional information. Giving me options to cancel or continue.
    Upon selecting continue I am prompted to sign into my Apple ID which I do and am presented with 'Manage your security questions' and option to chaneg my account details.
    I have contcated apple by email and telephone, they have told me there is no problem with my account however the issue hasn't been resolved therefore I'd be grateful for any others who have experienced this or similar to give any advice you may have.
    Thank you in advance

    Other suggestions ...
    -  Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
    -  Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
    -  Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store.
    For downloading apps, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If your Macs are running v10.8 Mountain Lion...
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Click the lock icon to make changes. You may be prompted for your admin password.
    Select:  Mac App Store and identified developers
    Click the lock icon to prevent further changes
    Then try purchasing an app.

  • Error message when installing updates. "There was an error in the App store. Please try again later" (20)

    I've been trying to install recent updates for numbers, pages, and keynote, I get a message that says "There was an error in the App store. Please try again later." (20).  I tried several times over the last few days and continue to get the same error  message.

    Thank you Catherine & MrToaster - Yes - I've just updated to my new credit card. All the details were correct, inc authorisation code but App Store kept prompting me to update iMovie then, not allowing me to (There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)).
    Your advice worked - I logged out and in again.
    The problem is that I'll definitely have forgotten your tip when my card next expires!

    That cryptic error message might mean that the payment information in your account is invalid. Check with your credit-card issuer to see whether a charge was denied. If not, see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this test 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 documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; 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 in OS X 10.7 or later, 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.

    Sign out of the Mac App Store via the Store menu
    Quit the Mac App Store
    Log out of your Mac OS X user account (from the Apple menu)
    Log back in to your user account
    Launch the Mac App Store, sign in, and try downloading again
    You should be able to download any app trouble free now. If you still have problems, reboot your Mac.
