Can't sign in on Apple Store. Whenever I fill in the correct ID and pw, the app keeps telling me to review the information since this account wasn't previously used on Apple Store. Online solutions include checking 'media and purchase' settings in 'system preferences', however, I can't sign in to 'media and purchases', so I can't even select it in the first place.
The resolution to this issue is often making sure you have entered a credit card or other valid method of payment* even if you don't plan on needing to use it. The document 'If you can't remove your last payment method or use no payment method with your Apple ID' ( https://support.apple.com/HT203905 ) mentions, "if you're using an existing Apple ID with the App Store for the first time, you must provide payment information."
If there is an option to select "Review" or "Continue", select that and enter valid payment information if required. If there's problems doing this:
On a mobile device tap: Settings > [your name at the top] > Media & Purchases > View Account > Review Apple ID.

If you continue to have problems contact Official Apple Support - Select your region from the list and then your country from the pop-up window. If you do not see your country, see if there is an "other" listing for that region.

I recommend you contact Apple about this. I see this posted at least daily and while there is a workaround, it's clearly a feature that is broken or needs better explaining.
