Can't sign into the Mac App Store

[BaggieBoy]

Says I have 1 update but clicking on "update" throws up a Sign In screen, I enter the password and nothing happens.

Likewise at the bottom left is a "Sign In" icon, clicking on this makes the same request for ID and password but after entering it doesn't appear a sign in has occurred (pressing on the icon again just goes through the same process).

I browsed for an app and pressed "GET", the button goes green and says "INSTALL", pressing this opens the sign in dialog again and then the button goes back to "GET".

Anyone else seeing this?

I have a separate Apple ID for the App Store and it won't let me login in with it

Same, also app updates failing, probably due to same reason.

Saw a forum entry on the Apple Developer site which suggested signing out of your Apple Account on the Preference app and signing in again. Did this and now I can sign into the Mac App Store....however I still can't update or download any apps.

Beta 2 has mostly resolved the Mac App Store issues for me, I have been able to update 2 apps and download a app as well. However I still have 1 update that appears to be stuck.

I had the same issue until I found some random post about it on Google. It's an odd fix, but signing out of my iCloud account on the Music app (Account > Sign Out) and then signing back in on the Music app and then finally signing in on the Mac App Store made it work. Not sure why the Music app is related, but I've finally got the past 2 weeks of updates.

Thanks for the tip, half worked for me.. one app got stuck in limbo update state, even after I deleted it/rebooted, though, but others finally updated.

This is embarrassing, but I switched accounts to another user account on the machine and everything downloaded perfectly (although a little slow).

I'm still having this problem after the latest update today. Tried signing out/back in from everything and still no dice. I have 5-6 pending updates and just get stuck in a cycle of trying to sign in. Anyone have any other brilliant ideas?

On several systems, I have been able to switch to a different user and do the updates. The primary account still indicates the updates are needed though.
