Customers may have been unable to make purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store.” As you can see, the Mac App Store was down for some users, and but now it is fixed. Jan 17, 2010 But the Kindle does not show up as a device attached to my MacBook. My external HD (Firewire) and iPods (USB) all work perfectly through this USB hub. I did call Apple (using my 30 day warranty for installing Snow Leopard) and the tech support person did not even know what a Kindle was. Amazon says it's an Apple problem. Apr 19, 2016 I have 2-step verification enabled on my Amazon account so that when I go to log in, it also asks for a PIN code that is sent as a text message to my phone. Nice and secure.

Why can’t my Mac connect to the App Store?
- First, let’s make sure that there are no network connectivity issues. Make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet. Check to see if websites load in Safari or in other browsers. If not, you may try the following troubleshooting tips:
- Restart your Mac. (Apple menu > Restart).
- Restart your router/modem (Unplug the power supply, wait 30 seconds and then plug it back in).
- Turn off and on Wi-Fi. (Click the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar).
- Contact your Internet service provider and confirm that there are no outages.
- Make sure that Apple Mac App Store servers are up and running. Go to Apple’s System Status website and check. It is possible that the App Store service is having issues with its servers or systems. For instance, currently, it is saying “Mac App Store – Completed Maintenance. 1.7% of users were affected. Customers may have been unable to make purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store.” As you can see, the Mac App Store was down for some users, and but now it is fixed. If this the case, there is little you can do. Just wait. You’ll know when the service is working again.

- Update your Mac. Make sure that your operating system is up to date. If you are running macOS Mojave or later, go to System Preferences > Software Update and then click Check for Updates.

If you are running an earlier version of the macOS software (e.g., macOS High Sierra, etc) then you will need to open the App Store and click Updates.

Try the App Store in Safe Mode and then restart your Mac normally (this time, do not press the Shift key).
