    Hello.
    I'm experiencing a problem of my own and I was wondering if you could help me out?
    I've just recently bought myself a new iMac and I've just set it all up and restarted it and all that. But when I go to log into the Apple App Store. It tells me to put my password in and everything, which I do. Then it does that loading thing after you've put in your password. But after that it doesn't do anything. It doesn't log in or anything.
    I've tried multiple different things and non of them have actually worked out for me.
    I've had a Mac before and never have I experienced this type of issue. Could you please try and help me find out what this problem is so that I can use the App Store properly, please? Thanks! :)

    The second change to sort out the certificate with the blue icon worked for me. Running Mojave. Restored the OS and hit this issue. I did not clear the files in the indicated location. Hence the fix was to sort out the certificate which was not being trusted.

    Hallo, I've just been looking at this as I have an IMac with OS Mojave and the problems will be as per following: Log-In server is not for your Mac optimised and must be updated. I have had several infos as MF Manager is not..... MS Excel is not........ Vodafone mobile Broadband ist not ........and many others.
    It seems that in the near future my Mac will not operate at all. Now I am German and my Mac is also in the the German language so not quite sure how to tackle the problems. Has anybody any ideas. The shop where I purchased the IMac was not helpfull and Apple was'nt either.
