plist parsing errors

Had this issue from 8 AM EDT to 9AM EDT and has since resolved itself - for me

I'm alternately seeing either the "plist parsing error" or "503 service unavailable" whenever I try to login to Apple Store this morning at 9:30-9:45 am Pacific time.

According to Apple Services system status at https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ , "There are no reported issues at this time."

Well, consider this a report. 🙂

I'm having the same problem with the same App Store error. Any solutions yet?

I have the same trouble.

Please post any solution!

Thanks

Looks like iTunes Store "Service may be unavailable for some users"!!

Same problem here. plist parsing error when trying to download El Capitan. The IOS app store is not working either. It seems fine, but it is impossible to download anything, pressing the "Get" button has it spinning for a few seconds after which it reverts back to "Get" and nothing happens.

i have this moth3rfuck3r problem too 😠

I've just successfully installed El Capitan and updated a bunch of apps - including FCPX, Motion, Compressor, iMovie, etc etc - but when trying to update iPhoto I get the above message as well. It's persistent and won't allow me to update. I'm assuming it's a broader issue than my machine, but strange that I've done all the other stuff OK.

Same problem here--ever since attempting to download El Capitan (which is permanently stalled).

I am having the same trouble. Yesterday I updated my iMac and Mac Mini to El Capitan. I did my MacBook Air last week.

Everything went fine and no problems until today.

I am getting the plist paring error or the service unavailable (503) alternately.

Also - when I look at the purchased apps on my iMac I am showing everything with an action of install or download.

These are apps I knew I had prior to El Capitan on the iMac.

Me, too. Just tried to download the iMovie update and no go.

I just spent some time with an AppleCare rep about this issue (10:15am Pacific time), and she said she just got an alert notice on her end about the problem. So at least they know about it. I was having the same issues - trying to upgrade to El Capitan, and both plist parsing error and 503 service unavailable error messages.

So hopefully it's just a matter of time.

Same here, can't update iMovie or OSX 'cause of a plist parsing error.

Same problem here.

Just installed Mac OS 10.11 clean via USB-Stick on my Macbook Pro 2014 and get the same error on app store login
