This morning I was trying to update one of my Mac App Store apps and noticed that I still wasn't signed in after my recent Apple ID password change. I tried to sign in to the Mac App Store from the Purchases tab, and on the first attempt I got an incorrect password error (but the password was correct). On the second attempt, I got an error 'This Action Cannot Be Completed' instead, which told me that it's not so much that my password is wrong, it's that something is buggy in my sign in. The Mac App Store login prompted me to reset my Apple ID, which I didn't want to do since I had just gone through the hassle of changing my password last week.
I opened iTunes on my Mac and went to the Account menu > View My Account. Same sign-in error, same 'This Action Cannot Be Completed' second error message.
Here's how I fixed the 'This Action Cannot Be Completed' error in the Mac App Store:
I opened my App Store app on my iPhone, and downloaded a free app.
I opened the App Store app on my Mac, and downloaded a free app that I haven't downloaded before.

It is good practice to have at least 10-15% free on a hard drive, on any. Refresh go-to templates. The template file normal.dot is created by Microsoft Word and stored. Ever since I upgraded my main machine to Mavericks, every time I open a new app, two things happen: the app takes a long time to open; the whole system slows to a crawl until the app opens completely. The interesting part is that this happens on an early 2011 MacBook Pro (with 4GB of RAM), while on an older machine (mid/late 2007 MBP with 2GB of RAM), also updated to Mavericks, everything is a. Mac apps take a long time to open. Your hard drive is getting full. Nothing slows down a Mac more than having too much on your hard.
I don't think getting the free app on my iPhone helped, but I'm including it since I can't replicate the error to verify that. When I clicked 'Get' on the free app in the Mac App Store app, I was prompted for my Apple ID password and entering it here worked. Then my iTunes Store account worked as well as my Mac App Store purchases tab.

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.
- Launch iTunes. From the top menu bar, click Account and then Sign out. After signing out, sign back in.
- Open the App Store on your Mac and then click Store (top menu bar) and click Sing Out and then sing back in.
- If you are using a VPN or proxy to connect to the Internet, disable them to see if that fixes your problem.
- 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 there is an update available, update the software on your Mac by following the on-screen instructions. 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.
- On your Mac, make sure that the date and time settings are done correctly. Go to System Preferences > Date & Time to check this. You may also want to check the box for “Set date and time automatically”.
- Restart your Mac in Safe Mode. You can restart your Mac by pressing and holding the Shift key as your Mac starts up (turn off your Mac then turn on and immediately press and hold the Shift key). Try the App Store in Safe Mode and then restart your Mac normally (this time, do not press the Shift key).
- On your Mac, complete the following steps:
- open the Keychain Access app (Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access).
- Click “System Roots”.
- Double Click “DigiCert High Assurance EV root CA”.
- Click “Trust” to expand it.
- Change “When using this certificate” from “Use System Defaults” to “Never Trust”.
- Now restart your Mac.
- And, when your Mac is on, follow the same steps to change “When using this certificate” back to “Use System Defaults”.
- On your Mac, follow these steps:
- Open Finder.
- From the top menu, click Go > Go to Folder and enter the following:
- /var/db/crls/
- Click Go.
- Delete these files: “crlcache.db” and “ocspcache.db”. You may have to enter your admin password.
