Why can't I sign in to the App Store app on my mac?

Is there anyone who can help me? I have OS 10.7.4 running on a Intel mac tower, I have an Apple account (that works fine for the iTune store, on my iPad), but when I click on the either of the links; Sign In, or Account in the App Store app on my mac nothing happens? I have also tried the same options in the menus but with the same result?
I had the same problem on Leopard, and bought Lion hopefully to fix the problem, but I still can't sign in...

To be honest - Apple did a miserable job in designing the user accounts on Apple Store, iTunes app profile, Apple ID profile and Apple discussion groups profile. You can't even change the password in discussion groups. You have to go through "forgot password" to reset it. I tried it once and never received the reset-email. Total misery.
Anyway, I had the same issue with not being able to sign into Apple Store app. In the end I resolved it by CLIKING on the PURCHASES button in iTunes, then it asked me for password and then I was able to make purchases etc..

Is it true that After March 30, 2015, AOL will no longer support your ability to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store or did I just receive a phishing email?

I just received the following email.....Is this legit? Makes no sense.
Dear iTunes Customer,
Our records indicate that you have been using your AOL Username to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store.
After March 30, 2015, AOL will no longer support your ability to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. In order to continue using store features, including the ability to access your previously purchased content, you must transition from signing in with your AOL Username to signing in with an Apple ID.
To make this transition, simply sign in once more with your AOL Username to iTunes on your Mac or PC. You will automatically be taken through a few short steps to complete the process.
When the process is complete, your new Apple ID will allow you to continue to purchase and download music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, and more. Additionally, your Apple ID will allow you to access other Apple services, such as iCloud and the Apple Online Store.
This transition does not affect any AOL services you may be using with your AOL Username.
AOL Usernames which have not been transitioned to Apple ID will permanently lose access to the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store after March 30, 2015. Apple will be unable to provide support for AOL Usernames which are not transitioned by this date.
To learn more about this transition, visit support.apple.com/kb/HT204268.

The iTunes Store team

The link that appears in the copy in the OP does not go to an Apple site, it is something to the effect of newitunes.com, whereas the text tells you it is an Apple support document.
However, if you take the text of the support document listed, I put it in my browser and it does lead to a legit Apple Support document about coverting. Convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID - Apple Support Seems this needs to be done by March 31, 2015, as AOL will no longer allow users to use their AOL identification.

Why can't I sign on to the gannett online forums with firefox but it works with IE?

When I try to logon to my local newspaper's websites (they are gannett papers) It just hangs at the logon popup and will not allow me access.

HT204053 Why can't I sign in to the App Store with my valid ID?

I can't sign into the App Store. I've even changed my password to try to get it to work. Every time I try I get "can't sign in now". Any thoughts?

Try this and see what happens. Quit the App Store, Sign out of your account completely, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

Why can't I sign in to the App Store?

When I got Snow Leopard, I immediately tried to boot up the Mac App store to download Lion, but when I open the App Store and attempt to sign in, quite literally nothing happens. Suggestions?

Hi...
If you don't see the sign in sheet > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
And disable any security software such as anti virus before trying to access the App Store.
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available spare
Please read before upgrading to Lion > Lion upgrade questions: Apple Support Communities

Why can't you purchase stuff from the itunes store if you're not in that country? I'm in South Africa and most of the best things I want to download are on the US itunes, so I try switch to it but it won't let me download or purchase? I don't get it?

I don't get why? What's the harm if you're in a different country? We all pay the same way and the internet was made to connect people over the world, stuff is downloaded from different global destinations millions of times a day. So what's the point of having an itunes store and App Store that limits you to the boring stuff in your own country? You read about these great app's, bands etc and find them in search engines, you have all the Mac products, but then you can't use them coz of where you're currenlty living? It's like a horrible tease!
Is there a way around this? Or what can be done in order to access the things I want?
Any advice, suggestions anyone?

The reason is licensing - artists/record companies/TV networks/movie distributors all have separate licensing deals in different countries (or no licensing deals at all). It isn't mysterious or secret.
The only way around this is to have an iTunes account in the other country - either a valid credit card with billing address in that country, or an iTunes gift card from that country (though you'll still be asked for a billing address in the country for which you've purchased the card).

Why can't I buy downloads from the US store? I am in the UK.

I am in th UK and have bought an 80GB iPod on which I want to play videos while I travel.
The UK video and TV content is almost non-existent. Jimmy Carr? Bloody Ricky Gervais? How utterly appaling. If there is amy more content, I cannot find it, and I find the iStore site difficult to use and impossible to find anything on.
The US store is full of shows and movies I wish to download, but it say my account cannot buy from this store. Why is this?
If this is a permanent state of affairs, you can have my iPod back and cancel my subscription. What regional rubbish in an international communications age.

Blame the studios. I am sure Apple would like to allow cross country purchases. You want access to the American store, whereas I would like the Australian and British stores in addition to the American one.

Why can't I find music in the iTunes store?

First of all, I live in Russia, I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem, but I can not find music at all in the iTunes store, only apps, books, podcasts and iTunes U.

Why can't I sign in to the Apple Support Communities on my iPhone?

I was able to sign in on my iPhone and then I plugged it in to my computer and did a Restore + Update and now I am unable to sign in? When trying to sign in on my iPhone after clicking 'Sign in' the page reloads and goes back to the Apple Support Communitys home page.
I can still sign on on a computer (using it now) but i would really like to view it from my iPhone.

Update: Managed to fix this by going into Settings > Safari, then under Privacy & Security i changed 'Block Cookies' from 'Always' to 'From Third parties and advertisers'
Not sure how the setting was changed from its default but yeah.
After this I was able to sign straight in with no problems!

Why can I only access 3 of the 4 usb busses on a mac pro?

I'm attempting to aggregate four cheap 7.1 usb soundcards to give myself 32 channels of audio output (I have good reasons for doing this). It seems that the devices cannot be differentiated when they're connected to the same usb bus (I'm not sufficiently well informed about the devices to know why this is) and thus the aggregate device fails.
I've been able to connect three of the devices to a Mac Pro (specs below) without doubling up on USB busses (giving me 24 working channels). Theoretically the Mac Pro has four busses (confirmed by this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9053084#9053084) After attempting various combinations of pluggings-in, however, I find I can only access three of these (therefore can only run three of the usb devices without them doubling up on a bus). One of the four busses remains perennially empty. Is there any particular reason for this? Is the fourth bus only accessible internally? (Again according to the thread above it would seem not, but I still can't access it). Does it have something to do with high vs low-speed busses? The soundcards are USB2.0, so maybe that MacPro can only handle three high-speed busses...
I suspect that I shall have to resort to buying a PCI USB card. Which prompts another question: do such cards offer independent busses for each port or would all ports be routed to the same bus? My guesses err towards the latter or a combination, and that it differs from card to card. But I can find no information in the specs of any of the cards I've looked at which tell me.
Rather obscure questions, but I'd be grateful for any help.
With thanks,
pete

Maybe it's the total power requirements of the attached USB devices and you need a powered usb hub.

HT6119 I live in Australia and I want to buy books written in Spanish. Why can't I find any at the iBook store?

Is it a way to buy books in other languages?

You can only buy the books that are available in your country's ibookstore. If there are particular ibooks that you would like to buy in Spanish then you can try requesting that they be added, but unless the publisher/rights-holder for Australia agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell them there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Why can't sign in in the apple store using my apple id? but from the itunes application in my computer which i downloaded, i can use my apple id to sign in...and while opening my apple store it appears blank..i don't know what happened?

It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
TCP 123
TCP 3689
UDP 5353
TCP 80
TCP 4343
TCP 53
This may also solve other problems you may have with homesharing...
