Hi


I solved it in the end. I tried first turning of VPN and virus program, then safe mode, this did not work. Then i logged in to my iTunes with mye password, it worked, Then i go to the list of earlier installation one App Store, then i updated one by one. The update all did not work first, a little strange. But one by one worked..


Thank you for effort and answers.
