Man, everytime Apple sends an update I get nervous thinking a new issue is going to pop up!... They don't seem to manage password management very well... Besides this it also asked me to reenter my Final Cut and Aperture serials...

It did not worked for me!

I have tried all Apple people and others recommendations without any luck!

I still have iPhone, iMovies and other software without been able to update.

I use iTunes for movies and music purchases without any problem, just impossible to sign in to Application Store..

This solution does not work for me either. Got in touch with iTunes billing. They gave me the same advice given in this thread (i.e. deleting the plist) that appears to work for some cases. It did not work, and they asked me to call AppleCare. AppleCare told me they could not deal with this case, and even if they could, that I would have to pay for it (***? I know my Mac Mini is out of warranty, but surely charging a customer to resolve THEIR issue is ridiculous! How is this a hardware issue?). They then told me that my only option was..... go back to iTunes billing! I honestly don't think that anyone I've talked to so far has the slightest clue what the issue is. Grrrrr!

do exactly what bman6185 and some others said thanks bman6185 im finally getting lion downloaded now

Sorry Charlie, It works for many, but not all.

Not sure how that could solve it, but who knows.

Ah, power down and unplug. Got it. Thanks.

Dave

No joy. Contacted apple support. No solution there. Their only suggestion was to re-install snow leopard. I asked, "If the problem is with how the Mac App store is identifying my computer, and I install new software, how will it identify it any different?". They couldn't determine whether a re-install would help it or not. The other suggestion was to take the computer to an apple store. Really?

Dave

Now seeing quiet a few posts where folks have re-installed or bought and installed Lion and still have the same problem. What a fluster cluck.

Dave

I have the same issue because i have a non Apple gpu card what is neccesary for my work. Imo the os generates an id from the hardware ids and that is not good for AppStore. If i remove the card i can login to AS. So if anyone have non apple hw try to remove then check AS login.

ps. sorry for my english.

Deleting the NetworkInterfaces.plist and Rebooting worked fine 🙂 Thanks for the info😉

Thank you so much!

Worked totally fine for me to!

I am having the same problem. I have a Core 2 Duo Mac Mini that received a power surge through the ethernet port during a lightning strike incident; it fried the ethernet port. The rest of the copmputer is functional; I am posting from it right now. Starting with 10.6.8 and Lion, Apple has decided to use some form of ID verification by creating an ID from the network interfaces. The problem is, my ethernet port is so fubar that it doesn't even show up in the system profiler. So, when the Apple store runs its verification against my hardware it fails to "verify" my hardware properly. This makes it impossible for me to download and use applications I paid for under tthe contractual obligation that it would be available and useable on my other machines, and on the same machine I purchased it while using 10.6.7 and lower. Apple is trying to frame this as a hardware issue when it is clearly not. It is 100% a software issue in how Apple chooses to verify whether I am using an authorized Apple propduct. I am. Apple needs to fix their software now so I can go back to using the products I paid for but am currently being prevented from using on my functional and fully compliant Apple computer.

Dear friends at Apple,

I recently purchased an Apple pie through the app store and am having problems with it. When I attempt to eat the pie I am prompted for an apple id, and password.

When I enter my id and password I receive a message that they are invalid, and to contact support. My pie will not start.

To clarify- I purchased the Apple Pie through the Mac app store for $29.95 on this computer. It shows as installed in the app store, yet I cannot have my pie, or eat it. I have deleted my pie, and reinstalled it. It looks like a nice pie, but as I cannot get to it I am sad.

I have written to Apple support for several months, but no one seems to care.

Why doesn’t it “Just work” ? ??

Deeply appreciate your assistance,

Dan
