jcalado Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hi. When trying to sign in to the app store, i get the following error: "No GUID is available. Contact Support for assistance." Yes, i have tried what seems to be the "solution" to this problem. Remove all network interfaces and trash NetworkInterfaces.plist. That had no effect whatsoever, besides me being left with, uh, no network interfaces Any tips on how to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcalado Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Hi, vlzhukov. Unfortunately that did nothing for my setup. Still the dreaded GUI error. Thanks though Any more tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fffeee Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The problem is that your Hac doesn't think it has an internal network interface. This can be because you don't have one, the ethernet driver you have doesn't recognize your hardware, or even if you're using a VPN or Proxy (according to an Apple Engineer I opened a case against recently). On your Hac this can be circumvented by a couple of ways. Most common is to have this stanza in your com.apple.boot.plist: <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>y</string> If you have that and it still isn't working, you may want to generate a device property ID for your ethernet device. One of my Hacs is fine with a change to AppleYukon's plist to allow my on-board ethernet (Shuttle SX38P2 system) but another Hac I have (Dell Optiplex 755) needed a device-property added to my com.apple.boot.plist: <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>device-properties</key> <string>450000000100000001000000390000000100000002010c00d041030a040000000101060000197fff0400160000006200750069006c0074002d0069006e0000000500000001</string> Do not blindly add that device-properties string to your com.apple.boot.plist. I think it also includes my nvidia 9800 in there, that Dell is a bit of a basket-case and I had to get explicit. You can find out how to generate your own Device-Properties for your ethernet device or any other device by searching in this forum. There are some people that have just deleted their network devices from the Networking pref pane and then re-created them with success, but that method never worked for me, I had to generate a Device-Properties string for it before it would let me use the App Store. Good luck! Once you have your Ethernet device realizing that it is an internal device, you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmas Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I`ve got this problem too .. No way for me at the moment to resolve it .. I try may be everything .. As I unterstand this is because AppStore in Lion DP accept just Developer Accounts ... Is it true .. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcalado Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>y</string> Thanks, worked perfectly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmas Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Most common is to have this stanza in your com.apple.boot.plist: <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>y</string> Finally .. this method works on my hack to .. 10X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plprado Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I also have this issue but the difference is that none of these solutions worked for me. My wifi is already being set as en0 and I have EthernetBuiltIn=y on my boot and it IS working to set my en0 as BuiltIn. I've already deleted NetworkInterfaces.plist and reconfigured all my Network devices. HOWEVER I still get the "no GUID available" message when trying to log in to AppStore. So, any other ideas I could try??? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaraeez Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 sorry, I forgot to say I also tried that...

I had this same problem in SL and deleting NetworkInterfaces.plist did the trick. However in Lion it doesn't ... I had a similar issue whereby the nic wasn't detected (don't use it anyway), configured my wireless & off I went. App store gave me the same errors so I first installed Lnx2Mac (tonymac) which helped in the detection of my card. I then once rebooted removed my network interfaces (wifi & ethernet) as well as the NetworkInterfaces.plist & then once up again added the ethernet first (gave it an address though it is not connected) then wifi second. After this I was able to login to the App store using my wireless connection.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
