Currently having issues with my Macbook Air (2012) Yosemite (10.10.5)
My apple ID works on all of my Apple devices execpt for my Macbook air. I'm trying to update the software but cannot log into App Store, iTunes, Ibooks etc. I'm getting this message "MZFinance.BadLogin.MacAppStore_message"
Could anyone help!
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
I spoke to Apple and they said to try opening a new user on the same laptop and try updating from that account. ( Which did nothing)
Then spoke to someone else and they said to put your apple id password and the 6 digit verification code togther.
That worked and have had no issue since. Hope that helps.
If you have enabled two-factor authentication and any device (iPhone) and your Mac is running an older version of the MacOS, you don't get prompted to insert the 6 digit code. You should type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field.
See at the very bottom "What if I use two-factor authentication on a device running older software?" by following this link Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
I Just figured out that in my case i had used a different apple id account when i originally bought my imac. I was able to log in with the original account. There is probably some rigamarole i have to go thru to get the imac synced up with my other account.
From last year -- an interesting MZfinance thread:
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/what-is-mzfinance-inappbuyloginrequired-mes sage.1976644/
It suggests:
Do not* enter your password
MZ has been around for ~5 years
Some app devs were getting this message when testing in-app purchases on their own apps
Perhaps downloading a free app from App Store may clear it
Free solitaire apps are suspicious -- try deleting them ; )
I just received this on my Macbook Pro 15 Retina (Yosemite 10.10.5) -- what is MZFinance?
Sounds like you might need to log out of the App store: Store → Sign Out
Then sign back in.
I am getting this message too ... on my iMac. I wanted to upgrade my OS but can't seem to login to app store. I have logged out and back in. No difference
THis did not help...i signed out and when i tried to sign back in got same message.
Works for me….TKS
the second part of your post worked! Thanks
hi i have the same problem did you get it fixed??
it did work for me adding my password + the 6 digit code
That actually helped, thanks!
Yes, password w code immediately following works! Thank you!!!
