Change your payment method
You may have an unpaid order. To fix the issue, change your payment method. If you can't change your payment method, you can redeem a gift card and use the balance to pay for any unpaid orders.
Restart your Mac
Restart your Mac. Then check whether you can download or update apps.
Try a different network
If you can, try to connect using a different network. If you’re able to connect using a different network, contact your network administrator or internet service provider to report the issue.
If you still can't connect
If you’ve tried all of the above steps and you still can’t connect, try again later. A service outage may have recently started.
