Why doesn't Mac App Store does not recognize my apple ID?

The Mac App Store is not recognizing my apple ID.  Please help.

It works on my iphone.  It works for this forum.  It works for itunes.  It works for everything EXCEPT the Mac App Store, for which I've already used it to purchase apps that now need updating.  It just keeps saying "an unknown error has occurred" Grrr...

  • Why doesn't Mac App Store does not recognize my new Apple ID?

    I change my Apple Id several weeks ago and everything seemed fine until I tried to update a game in the App Store.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    To update an App Store product, you must sign into the store with the same ID you used to purchase it.

  • Mac app store does not accept my apple password

    The Mac App store does not accept my password for my apple ID. A red line appears that says "an unknown error has occured." The ID and Password are being typed in correctly, I am 100% sure of that. Credit card is up to date. Itunes is working fine and logged in to Apple ID. Ipad and Iphone are logged in, working fine. Have not installed Maverick, still using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.  I was going to update to Mavrick, but not sure I should with all the negative reviews and now this problem. Please help, thanks!

    It's been reported that Apple's servers are having problems tonight. Just try again later.

  • App Store does not recognize my Apple ID what should I do?

    My Apple ID does not work for App Store , when I click on App Store the id that appears on App Store is very different from my Apple ID

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • App Store does not recognize my id, but works

    I have my MacBook Pro 15 (2013), iPad, iPad mini, and an iPhone 4. For some reason I could not menage to sinc iPhone reminders with MacBook. Just downloaded tweeter on my iPhone and got the message saying that somebody used my id from unauthorised device. The funny thing is my phone has same credit card information that other devices, and shows that I am signed in with the same id. Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • App store does not 'see' Aperture (no update)

    After updating to Mavericks, the App Store does not recognize Aperture as an installed/bought app.
    Updates from 3.2 up to and including 3.4.5 have worked flawlessly. Now the App Store update page tells me there are no updates for Aperture while I'm stuck at version 3.4.5.
    In the System Information app, under 'Installations', there's an Aperture Update entry dating 30 October 2013 but without a version number. Could this be a botched update which is blocking further updates? If so, how can I purge it?
    Thanks for any help.
    Gus

    On another discussion thread, I found the "solution" to the problem. Changing the system language to English magically solves the issue and now Aperture is at version 3.5.
    Bad QC, Apple!

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

    How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
    Can I simply download it and not install?
    What if the App gets updated before I download it?
    Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
    Thanks.

    There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
    Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
    Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

  • Following hard drive failure on iMac running Maverick I have recovered from TimeMachine backup but now app store does not connect. All other internet connections normal. Does anyone know of a fix?

    Also mail not loading. The error report suggests that I look for updates from the app store?

  • Installed Yosemite and now lost apps and also my App Store does not open. Does anybody know how to fix the problem?

    Some weeks ago, I installed OS X Yosemite, as shown on my App Store, that was a "System Update available for my IMac 2009". Followed all the steps, normally and installed it as I did many other times ago (with the Maverick, Mountain Lion, OS X).
    Just after the installation, I noticed that every single folder or program that depends on "Apple", stopped working.
    Examples: Office package opens normally, so as Firefox. But, IPhoto, ITunes, Safari and App Store itself do not.
    That is causing me fear, because even trying to reinstall Yosemite or return to the one I had before, using App Store became impossible. Even the "Apple Icon" on the top left corner does not work. I click, it flashes, just IF it was ready to open, but nothing happens, seams that have something stopping the "loading process" of the softwares.
    Does anybody know how to fix the problem, please?
    Thanks in advance. Regards.

    Thanks for your attention.
    I Tried before, but the Mac App Store was not responding either, and worse, after 5 years, There is no free phone support
    I ended up solving it by reinstaling the Yosemite pressing "comand + R"
    thanks anyway
    Regards

  • TS1702 My app store does not load the featured apps, also in charts. Everytime i open the app store, the screen remains blank. Im using ipad3, ios6.

    My app store does not load the featured apps. The screen remains empty everytime I open it.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • When you register your credit card for the first time in Mac App store, Does Apple put through a 1 dollar charge to verify the card ?

    When you register your credit card for the first time in Mac App store, Does Apple put through a 1 dollar charge to verify the card ? Please I need this answer so as to download the latest Mountain Lion upgrade. Thnx in advance.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Many folks have reported that this is true. However, the charge is not taken to the second step of completing the charge and the $1 revolves back to your account.

  • Mac App store will not allow me to sign in...I have done all the updates on my Mac???

    Mac App store will not allow me to sign in so I can't purchase or update app's...it has worked before?  I have done all updates for Mac...

    Do you not see the sign in sheet?
    Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
    And if you have anti virus software installed, disable that before trying to access the App Store.
    If you have Litlte Snich installed, that can prevent access to the App Store.
    Keep in mind, you can't update your existing apps from another Apple ID if you create a new account.
