Why can't I view any purchases or my account info on my current administrator account?

Hello, I am having a problem with the OX S App Store on my Macbook pro. Any time I click sign or account in the home window, it keeps asking for my password. When I am at the purchases window, it says that I am not signed in. When I do click sign in nothing happens.
This problem does not occur on my iPhone4 , and it does not occur when I create another account. I have restored my entire MacBook using Time Machine and the problem still occurs. Is there any method to fix this issue?
I would really appreciate some help to fix this problem. I have a $30 iTunes gift card as an early X-mas present and I want to buy iPhoto '11 because of the new photo stream feature. If worse comes to worse, can I purchase it on the test account or another Mac and transfer the app to my computer? I really do not want to do this, but it might be the only option for now.

Well it depends on what you mean by another account. Are we talking about another USER ACCOUNT, or Apple ID? You can log into a test USER ACCOUNT, then use your old Apple ID on the MAS for that user account, and the purchase will still be tied to your old Apple ID so no worries.

  • Why can't I view my purchases in the cloud on my iphone4 since upgrading to ios6?

    Can't view purchases in the cloud from iphone4 since upgrading to ios6.0.1

    Thanks for the prompt reply! I'm using that app now as well.
    Great browser, will continue using it as my primary one.
    Wondering if an internal downloads folder will be included in future Firefox mobile versions. (Something like that app but just the downloads folder.)

  • HT201322 try to unhide my purchase, but can not find  "View Hidden Purchases"

    I hid one of my music album purchases by an accident. now i wanna unhide it, so that i can import the album to my ipod.
    i did some research, and find this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919i .
    i tried as what it says but i really can not find "View Hidden Purchases" on my account information page.
    the only two things i can see in "Itunes in the cloud" are "Manage Devices" and "Learn More".
    No "View Hidden Purchases" part!
    i need help! thanks!

    To unhide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your computer. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
    If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign in. If you're signed in, skip to step 4.
    Enter your Apple ID and password, then click the Sign In button.
    Choose Store > View My Account. (You may be asked to enter your password again).
    Click on View Hidden Purchases from your Account Information page.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top.
    Click the Unhide button next to the item you would like to restore.
    Note: If the item you are unhiding is not already downloaded on your computer locally, it will begin downloading automatically.

  • Why Can't I view purchased movies on my Tv using iPad mini and lighting to VGA adoptor

    Why Can't I view purchased movies on my Tv using iPad mini and lighting to VGA adoptor

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
    It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
    I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
    As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
    However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

  • Why can't I view videos in landscape mode on my new Ipod Touch 5?

    Why can't I view music videos in landscape mode on my new Ipod Touch 5?  I was able to with my first generation Ipod Touch. 
    I hate viewing a small version of the video.  If there aren't any fixes to the issue, there is no point in purchasing music videos.  Clicking the screenlock icon doesn't work.  It just allows you to view the small video in any mode instead of seeing album covers.

    Because that is how iOS 7 does it. To make a suggestion to Apple:

  • Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?

    Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?
    SO, I just purchased 2 4th gen ITouch’s and a 2nd gen Ipad for my kids. All is well and fine however my second gen device is toast so I am using one of my kids older 2 gen ITouch. My kids had been complaining that they could not download anything on the 2nd gen devices but I figured they were doing something wrong, my bad. The device has Netflix that works just fine but I am finding that if I were to delete the app and did not have it backed up I would not be able to get it back from the appstore. The device has been taken care of and is in good working order,  but I am finding that Apple has chosen to no longer support IOS4.2.1 which I get. However I would expect that at a minimum I would be able to download any app that was available for the 4.2.1 os at the time the next version was released.
    Drive space it cheap and ****** off customers are expensive.
    Apparently Apple has planned obsolescence built into their business plan which I am finding pretty hard to swallow.
    I just purchased over a grand worth of new devices and I am wondering if that was wise since apparently apple will deem them obsolete in a couple of years. That great because the newer devises are great, however I have a devise that there is nothing wrong with and apple has made the choice to no longer support the devise and not allow applicable software downloads making the devise basically useless. This is not supporting your customers!
    I would hope that Apple changes their posture on this planned Obsolescence and backs its products durability with the ability to get applicable apps for the actual lifetime of the devise and not some 2 year window.
    I brought my concerns to the nearest apple store where they gave me some song and dance about how the older devise was not fast enough. This is probably true for the newer apps but I think if this was a limitation then ITunes should make the newest version of the app at the time of the app is available for the devise.
    Like I said drive space is cheap and this is like a row in some database.
    I am wondering if I will continue to buy apple products.

    If it really is only your email, that is not valid, reset your primary email address at  https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    If that does not work, because of a forgotten password or security questions, or because your account has been disabled for security purposes, you need to give Apple Support a call - only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:

  • HT4623 Why can't I install any apps keeps saying that my session has timed out

    Why can't I install any apps it keeps saying my session has timed out

    Thanks for your suggestion Ned01, I tried this as a last ditch attempt, unfortunatly it made no difference in my case, but i'm pleased it did for you. However, because you reminded me to have another go at this problem, i tried something else (which i'd unsucsessfuly tried before), that is, i deleted the 'CLICK & SAVE " a/c i'd set up recently,  and reverted to my previous payment me and would you know it , this time it worked !! I set up a trail purchase and it worked.
    It seems to me that other poeple with this problem have to solve it by trail and error, but thank you for your help.Sandystone..

  • HT204053 Why can't I make a purchase on my iPad

    Why can't I make a purchase on my iPad

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
    What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?, we won't know what is/isn't ha
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Why can't I update any apps? When I hit update it gives me an old id. But in settings my new id is totally set and verified. How cam I make the change in App Store?

    Why can't I update any apps? When I hit update it gives me an old id. But in settings my new id is totally set and verified. How cam I make the change in App Store?

    App purchases are permanently tied to the ID with which they were purchased. They cannot be transferred to a new ID.
    You will have to enter the password for that ID or delete the apps and re-purchase them with the new one.

  • Why can't I download previous purchases on my new I pad?

    Why can't I download previous purchases on my new I pad?

    Without more information from you nobody here could possibly answer that question.
    Are you connected to the Internet?
    Are you signed into the correct ID?
    Do you have anything restricted as far as installing in or downloading in Settings>General>Restrictions?
    Are you purchases trying to download, but stalling?
    Is anything happening at all?
    Any help here or should we just keep guessing?
