When I open mac app store it stands: One moment please, connecting to the iTunes store.

And it's forever like this. Can't get into the app store! I have had this problem for 6 months now. Some help ?!?

Finally I found the answer on the internet. I needed to open Terminal and write three lines of code.
Code:
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/*
Now I can get Mac OS X Lion.

  • Solution to the "One Moment Please connecting to the iTunes store" Problem

    Thought I would post this as a new topic because I see many people had the same problem as I do (did).
    I kept getting the "One Momement Please connecting to the iTunes store" problem and could not figure out what was going on. I basically turned off everything I could think of "firewall, antivirus, antispyware, you name it and it still was not working.
    Then I found in a thread the suggestion to delete my iTune preferences file. I did it and voila... all was fine.
    So... here are the instructions. Do this first before you try anything else. It may save you A LOT OF TIME.
    For VISTA the pref file is found at: C:\Users\+user name+\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes. Delete the file named "iTunesPrefs.xml", restart i-Tunes and it will reset all of you preferences. You will need to enable "show hidden folders" in Folder Options in the control panel as "AppData" will be hidden otherwise.
    Hope this helps. I wished I'd seen it earlier.

    Unfortunately deleting the iTunesPrefs.xml didn't work for me and others.
    Try this. Click on Edit..Preferences...Parental Control and place a check mark in the box to the left of iTunes Store, also place a check mark in the box to the left of Allow access to iTunes U as well and then click OK.
    Now go to the store. Finally, return to Parental Control and remove the check mark beside iTunes Store.
    Hopefully you will now be able to access the iTunes Store without the dreaded One Moment please message.

  • When i access the App Store, a message in the Features section pops up.."One Moment Please" Connecting to the iTunes Store loading... Help pls

    I've tried the following...
    1.Connecting to the internet (of course)
    2.Opening Itunes
    3.Connecting to iTunes using windows tab
    4.Restarting
    5.Restoring and reinstalling OSX Mountain Lion

  • After upgrading to mavericks, i cannot open mac app store, preview, calendar, etc

    Why i cannot open mac app store, preview, calendar, software update, etc after upgrading to mavericks? How can i fix this? please help me

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe 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 the test.

    Glitchs like that sometimes happen
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.      
    If sit still reocurrs a lot, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Help-unknown error has occurred when logging into mac app store

    I am unable to log into the mac app store. It says "an unknown error has occurred" i can log onto itunes without any issues. ive read some discussions and tried to delete networkinterfaces.plist but it doesnt even seem to exist, ive looked in 3 different preferences files. I also tried to create a new user id from the mac store and it doesnt even recognize when i click to create user. what can i do next???  Thanks

    Sorry,
    you don't need any app Store. That - sorry - bullshi. is mother of all problems.
    There is the usuall Software Update process - all can find in finder menue below the apple logo. So why I have to update my iLife and iWork via App Store? Can't this be done by Software update as before? No, we need something special and we also deny any other possible way, like download from apple support page and install manually. No, everybody needs App Store - and then we get an issue after software update and don't get a fix? Sorry, that what I dislike most  - a bad customer support.
    So, no one needs App Store for a Fix - all apple has to do is simply provide a simple MacUpdate via Software Update process and all is fine again.
    And Software Update is just in such cases the best choice and most possible way to fix such problems - and we need also a valid and good second way - if all strings get cut...
    We need ways without any strong internet - because I know places, were you cannot download a MacOS

  • Can't open mac app store

    hello, i want to upgrade to Lion OS from X 10.6.8 but to do that i need to use mac app store, the mac app store is not opening with me, i tried many ways to un install iTunes and re install it, but still not working. !! any advise

    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    Restart your Mac.
    FYI...  you can access the Mac App Store either from your Apple menu icon (top left in your screen) then click App Store, or your Applications folder, or your Dock.
    The combo should reinstall the App Store for you.

  • Problems with opening Mac App Store

    Ok, here is my problem. I installed Snow Leopard on my iMac and updated my OS software which is now version 10.6.8 so that I could have the Mac App Store with a view to upgrading to OS Lion. However when I went to hit on the Mac App Store icon, it tells me that "you can't use this version of the application App Store with this version of Mac OS X." It goes onto say... "You have Mac OS X 10.6.8. The application requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later."
    Does anyone have any solutions to this problem, I want to upgrade to Lion (I have it on my MacBook Pro) but can't do it without the App Store (unless I pay for the key fob version which I don't want to do.

    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    Then restart your Mac.
    It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8.
    Make sure your Mac meets Lion's Apple - OS X Lion - Requirements
    Informative articles to read before upgrading to Lion:

  • Cannot open Mac App Store

    Using my Macbook Air running Yosemite 10.10.1, i downloaded the 10.10.2 update.  I shut the system down last night due to a low battery.  In the course of the shutdown it asked me if I wanted to install the update, I chose not to install 10.10.2 due to the low battery.  I restarted my Air today.  I tried to open App store so I  could install the update but the App store hangs and stops responding and I have to force quit App Store.  I have rebooted the system multiple times, both hard and soft reboot, and cannot get App Store to open.  Does anyone have any hints?

    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 and start typing the name.
    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

  • IPhone keeps reseting when I open an app, text, make a call, or even connect it to a charger. Why?

    Starting last night, my iPhone 4 which I purchased from Verizon over the summer began to reset itself if I tried to make a call, send a text message, open an app, read my email, or simply connect it to a charger. It would freeze momentarily, then the screen would go blank with the loading icon and I would have to unlock my phone again. I'm getting very frustrated at how generally difficult it is to utilize Apple's support to find a simple answer. Hopefully someone can help me and this won't get ignored. I have tried the following: turning it off then on again, charging over night, closing all open apps, and checking for new software updates.

    Sounds like you need to do some basic user troubleshooting, starting with a reset:
    Double-tap your home button and start swiping up on your app windows (the larger windows) to close them out completely. Once they're all closed out, hold down the home button and the power button together until the screen blacks out and the Apple logo shows up on the screen, then let go. This will reboot your phone and will not cause any data loss. Let me know how the phone behaves after this.

  • How do I remove the apple ID and password request when I open my apps and mail? it belongs to my daughter's itunes account

    How do I remove the apple ID and password prompt that appears frequently. It is prepopulated with an account for my daughter and not one I need on the IPAD...

    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap on her ID and sign out. Them sign in with your own ID.
    If there are apps on your iPad (and I assume that there must be) that your daughter purchased with her ID - they can only be updated by using her ID.
