Part 1: The Problem
Running High Sierra, I recently tried to re-install an app I'd bought from the Mac App Store and received an error telling me to try again but from the Purchased page. As I was actually on the Purchased page this seemed odd. I waited overnight in case it was a server problem, but it wasn't solved next day.
Next iTunes started throwing-up the (-42408) error whenever it was opened. I wasn't able to sign in to my account either.
I tried quite a few different methods to rectify the problems:
1) Re-install an earlier point-version of macOS High Sierra.
2) Boot to UniBeast installer and use DiskUtil to repair permissions on the main drive.
3) Re-install iTunes - I was using the special, older version 12.6.5 to enable me to manage my iPhone apps and ringtones.
4) Update to iTunes 12.7 which no-longer has the app store.
So far nothing had worked. Stay tuned ...
