I'm unable to login into the App store. Here's what I've tried: 1. Tried to login with the same apple ID into iTunes (OK), appleid.apple.com (OK); 2. Restarted application and the whole macbook; 3. Did everything from this page: OS X: 'Cannot connect' or 'Cannot connect to the App Store. An internet connection is required' 4. Created another Apple ID from within the App Store. After this it started saying 'Welcome Vladimir', on the main page, but any useful action (like <View profile>) reveals authentication popup, which I cannot pass, as before.. I type Apple ID and Password, then click <Sign In> -- nothing really happens (at least, visually). <Sign In> button stops 'blinking' for a second or two, and then starts blinking again, just like I were not trying to login at all. I want to update to newer Mac OS X, but seem to need to login into App Store. Info: MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Not too clear on just what you have done, but if you reformatted the disk at some point, you may have erased the Recovery HD on the disk itself. So that would leave you having to try Internet Recovery (Option-Command-R) to install the original OS.
The problem may well be that Lion is not the original OS. This Mac originally shipped with Snow Leopard install discs, which you do not have. It did not originally ship with Lion, so there may be some issue there which is keeping you from completing the installation of Lion using Internet Recovery since Internet Recovery is intended to install the OS the Mac originally shipped with.
Are you wanting to sell or give away this Mac? If so, it needs to have the OS it originally shipped with installed, which would be 10.6.6 or 10.6.7 Snow Leopard. If you have access to an Apple Store, they could probably do this for you from their store feed. Snow Leopard can be updated to where the Mac App Store is available, and the new owner can install anything they want under their own Apple ID. This Mac can be upgraded to run Sierra.
I don't know if replacement install discs are still available from Apple for this Mac, but if you can get it done for free at the Apple Store that would be a better option for you.
