If you still don't know how to authorize iphone, iPad or iPod touch and fully use one of the listed devices, then today's post will help you complete this simple procedure. Although probably some novice users are not familiar with the term "authorization". Therefore, I propose to find out what authorization is and why users of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch need it.
Authorization is logging into your account by entering a username and password, this login to your account is necessary in order to. Where can I get this treasured login and password to install programs and games in my gadget? It's simple, you need to register an Apple ID account or it is also called an iTunes account, the account registration procedure can be performed in three ways:
- If you already have a registered account, then using the login and password from the account, you can authorize your iPhone or iPad, the email address is used as the login, and you come up with it during registration.
1. In order to authorize an iPhone without a computer, you can go to the "Settings" of the phone and select the Store section.
2. Press the "Login" button (in newer versions of iOS, this section may look a little different)
3. Enter the login (username) and password of your Apple ID account, and click the "OK" button. If the phone suddenly displays the message "Failed to connect to the iTunes Store", then the phone cannot access the network to the Internet.
4. If you entered everything correctly, then the iPhone will log in, and you will see the "View" and "Exit" buttons, although in more recent versions of iOS, the Store settings menu looks a little different.
In order to log out of your phone account, you need to deauthorize your iPhone by clicking the "Sign Out" button, this action can be performed when purchasing a used authorized iPhone. If you decide to sell or donate an authorized iPhone, it is advisable to deauthorize it.
How to authorize an iPhone in the App Store app
This authorization method also does not require a computer, the entire procedure is performed in the standard App Store application, such an application is available on any iPhone or iPad. As in the first case, the iPhone must have access to the World Wide Web.
1. We launch the standard program "App Store". In the "Selection" section, scroll the list to the very bottom and click the "Login" button
2. An account login window will appear, where we select "Login to an existing"
3. Enter the login and password from your Apple ID account and click "OK"
1. Connect iPhone (or iPad) to your computer and launch iTunes
2. After the phone (tablet) appears in the "Devices" section
3. After iTunes is successfully authorized, go to the iTunes Store, which is located in the "Store" section
4. In the upper right corner, click "Login" enter your Apple ID (Mail), password and click the "Login" button
5. After successfully logging into the iTunes Store, your Apple ID (Mail) will appear in the upper right corner, and a welcome message below.
After completing these 5 points, and without missing anything, the iPhone (iPad) will be authorized.
How to Deauthorize an iPhone or iPad
The simplest iPhone deauthorization is done like this - go to Settings> select Store> click on your Apple ID and in the window that appears, select the "Logout" button (the Internet is not needed here)
There is also a way to deauthorize the iPhone for perverts, which requires the computer to be connected to the Internet - connect the iPhone to the PC, launch iTunes, go to the iTunes Store section, in the upper right corner click on the Apple ID account (aka mail), in the window that appears, enter the password and press the "Exit" button. After completing these steps, the phone will also be deauthorized.
When upgrading to a new operating system, quite often the same error occurs. The Mac App Store cannot connect to the Apple server to check for updates or download new software. All attempts to solve this problem do not lead to a result. In this article, I will show you the easiest way to fix this problem.
What to do if the Mac AppStore is not working
The problem is related to the fact that the settings of the AppStore program for Mac OS were broken. The easiest way to fix this problem is to delete the settings files. For this:
- Open Finder
- Go to Programs folder->Utilities
- Open a terminal program
- Write these commands
| 1 | rm - rf ~/ Library/ Preferences/ com. apple. appstore. plist |
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
| 1 | rm - rf ~/ Library/ Preferences/ com. apple. storeagent. plist |
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
| 1 | rm - rf ~/ Library/ Preferences/ ByHost/* |
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/*
These commands remove the necessary configuration files. After that, you can safely try to launch the AppStore again.
The other way does the same, but only by hand. A way for those who do not like the command line because they do not know how to use it.
- Open Finder
- Press the "Alt" button on the keyboard and do not release. The "Library" folder should have appeared, click on it.
- Go to Preferences folder
- Try launching the AppStore, everything should work already.
Well, the third method combines the first two. Simplicity of the second and direct ways of the first.
- Open Finder
- At the very top of the screen in the drop-down menu there is a "transition" button, click on it
- From the drop-down menu, select "Go to Folder"
- Copy the following line into the window that opens:
1 ~/Library/Preferences/ ~/Library/Preferences/
- Press Enter
- Find and delete the com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist file

On average, you have to wait from a couple of hours to several days.

The secret way to restore the App Store
There are many reasons why the App Store is not working. There are many ways to solve them, but there is a universal way to fix the problem and restore the correct operation of the Apple store.
This secret method is little known among Apple gadget users. The App Store has several tabs: Updates, Search, View, Top Charts and Featured. It lacks an "Update" button that would have made it possible to update the App Store itself. The absence of this button does not mean that the App Store cannot be updated.
To start updating the App Store online store and its contents, the user should make 10 consecutive clicks on any button located in the bottom panel (search, view, etc.). With the help of these actions, the selected tab by the user will be reloaded, and the information will be loaded there again.
