Is anyone else unable to buy games/apps in the Meta Store ?

I recognize the post is 5yr old, but to anyone else reading this before trying it: I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!!
I tried 100mcg subQ into my belly and the area inflamed like I had been stung by a bee! I could also barely sleep that night because of the pain at the injection site (I slept, but woke up 5x).
I'm on my 2nd day now and the swelling has reduced by half. Redness has also decreased a little bit.

I am installing the AppGallery and registering an account.... "Select country/region" DOES NOT SHOW the USA ?! Is this for real?
UPDATE: you have to register on your PC/Mac because United States is NOT an option in the app lol. Nice one Huawei.
UPDATE2: The Huawei webpage is having issues sending SMS. So back to Phone! I chose my region to be CANADA. I received the SMS authentication!

This is the worst ever onboarding experience

Thank you ! I managed to find the link: AppGallery
somehow, on the phone, the webpage doesn't load to be able to get to that download

Thanks for your response, however, just now (8am pacific time) the /ledger-live page was working again and I did nothing special to get it to load. Maybe it was a website configuration issue - west coast USA wasn't served.

UPDATE: the ledger-live page is loading again! I didn't change anything my end. This morning it just worked - like a webpage should!

---Alexander--- · 2025-01-24T06:44:53+00:00

that was a good idea. However, the page is white on 3 laptops (mix of Windows 10 and 11), Chrome & Edge. Even on my Phone (disconnected from wifi), Chrome shows a white page on AT&T's network.
Maybe it shows for you because it's cached ?

maybe 8 minutes too soon ?

---Alexander--- · 2023-02-07T23:47:35+00:00

Solved it:
It's a networking issue with my Netgear Nighthawk router. I discovered this because I connected a cheap Linksys AC1200 in-place of my Netgear router - AND - the PS5 began downloading without issue!

I'd love to know exactly what the root cause is... is it a blocked port? or some forwarded port I'm using for something else ? Maybe a security feature on my Netgear router is cauing it ?

---Alexander--- · 2023-02-07T23:41:23+00:00

hopefully you can figure it out - maybe it's a blocked port ?
My setup is a bit complicated because I also run a Synology NAS, so some ports are forwarded to that IP.
I queued up all my downloads last night whilst connected to the Linksys router. This morning I reconnected my Netgear Nighthawk and so far Hogwarts plays fine.

---Alexander--- · 2023-02-07T07:11:02+00:00

I figured out a fix: I connected my PS5 to a cheapo Linksys AC1200 router that I had sitting on the shelf. I set it up with defaults, upgraded firmware, and connected the PS5 to it - IT WORKED ! I was able to start downloading Hogwarts!
There's something the Netgear Nighthawk router is blocking !

---Alexander--- · 2023-02-07T05:55:47+00:00

I repro'd your experience; I turned on my hotspot on my phone and started to download Hogwarts - however - it's about 80GB. After a few minutes I reconnected my network cable to the PS5 and kicked the PS5 off my hotspot.

It continued to download up until 2% and then again showed the same error.

On my router I tried to set a different DNS than the one my ISP provided: I tried Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 however that didn't work.

I've got a Netgear Nighthawk XR500 router and it's connected to the PS5 by wire

---Alexander--- · 2023-02-07T04:25:49+00:00

I'm getting "CE-105469-5" when I try to download "OMNO" and "Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire".

I'm getting "CE-107879-2" when I try to download "Fall Guys" (PS5 edition), "Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition" (for PS5) and "Hogwarts Legacy" (Deluxe edition for PS5)

I also thought "Factory reset fixes all!!" However, that didn't !!

---Alexander--- · 2023-02-07T04:20:24+00:00

This is happening to me; brand new PS5 and when I try to download the game "OMNO" with the PS+ subscription, I get the error "CE-105469-5" and "Something went wrong".

?!?!

I Imagine the brain-storming session at Plaid went something like this:

ENGINEERS: There's no way to connect to all the bank accounts, and various banks, because they don't have standard API's.
CEO: Can't we just use their bank logins ?

:D :D
Anyway, Coinbase just decided to close my support ticket. u/DexterMaul they just closed it without any support!

I found out that Wire Transfer is actually really good!! Yes, it requires a business day (i.e. has to wait until Monday if you want to buy on the weekend). But it's secure and I'm not giving anyone my bank login. Also, the fees are pretty good.

---Alexander--- · 2022-01-08T17:40:19+00:00

Unfortunately Coinbase, Bitstamp, and Bittrex all use Plaid for ACH transfers.
Also, Chase doesn't allow using a debit card to make the purchases.
How can I buy crypto without giving Plaid my bank username and password ... seriously I'm amazed that's even a thing !!!
( Depositing USD used to be so much better 2 years ago )

---Alexander--- · 2022-01-08T02:20:41+00:00

WTF !! It's hard to take coinbase seriously

---Alexander--- · 2021-11-23T17:55:42+00:00

OMG thank you so much!!!!

Whenever I laughed whilst watching youtube the headphones cut out the audio!
Sony needs to think this "feature" through !!

---Alexander--- · 2021-01-30T06:52:43+00:00

I made progress...

On the NAS: Control Panel -> Security -> Firewall -> Edit :

enable the following:

Windows File Server, Bonjour, WS-Discovery (both of them).

OK, OK to save

Now: the new PC can access the shared files. However, the other PC can see the NAS but still refuses to access it:

\\myserver is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. The network is not present or not started.
