Cannot connect to app store after updating to mavericks

First time I've had to post here, never had a problem before. Couple days ago it pops up that I have an update to mavericks for my macbook pro. Go ahead and install it and all the sudden I can't connect to the app store. I click the sign in button and nothing happens. I've tried the stuff I can think of from resetting it to disk permissions and nothing works.
Worked fine before the update, obviously since i had to have it to get the update but now nothing

well as an update, last night it just started connecting again. No rhyme or reason but I clicked it and it magically connected.
However now my email is dead.

That poor wordpress site has collapsed in exaustion from trying to keep up with the 3mil hits a day
here is a "copied" version with credits for those looking for a solution to an annoying problem Apple should patch. (Yes, I'm aware of the irony of that statement)
July 18, 2012 · by Arthur Lockman · in Apple, Tutorials
After doing a reinstall of Lion a few weeks ago, I found that my computer suddenly would reject every VeriSign certificate that it encountered. Using Chrome, that meant that I couldn’t even access Twitter.com, because it thought that the certificate was wrong. I couldn’t login to the Apple developer portal, I couldn’t authenticate a device with XCode, I couldn’t make a purchase at Apple.com, I couldn’t download updates from the Mac App Store, and I couldn’t login to Mint.com, among other sites. I essentially couldn’t do anything that used a VeriSign certificate for SSL.
What did I do? I called my trusty AppleCare advisor, hoping for an answer. I thought that maybe they could help me figure it out. After getting to senior support, I was told to reinstall Lion, which I did to no avail. My case was then forwarded to the Apple engineering team, with 3 to 5 days to wait until I had an answer. I looked around, through my console logs and through Keychain access, and finally came up with an answer, and a solution to my problems.
It turned out that my solution was pretty simple. I had to delete a few files and reset one to its default setting.
Delete the files /var/db/crls/crlcache.db and /var/db/crls/ocspcache.db. These can be found using Finder’s Go >; Go To Folder menu (Cmd + Shift + G). This resets the cache of accepted certificates in the system. It doesn’t remove them, it just forces the system to rebuild the caches upon restart.
Open Keychain Access (/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access). Select Certificates in the Category picker on the left side. In the search bar, type in the word Class. Look through that list, and find any certificates that have a blue + symbol over their icon. These are the ones you need to modify.
Select one that has a blue +, and hit Command + I. Click the disclosure triangle beside the “Trust” list to show the list of permissions. Now, what we need to do is to set this certificate to use the system defaults. However, for some reason, when you select it, it doesn’t save. So what you need to do is this. Under “Trust”, where it says “Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)”, change the dropdown menu to say “No Value Specified”. Then, close the window. It will ask for your administrator permissions. Then, open the info pane for that certificate again. Under “Trust” again, now set the dropdown that says “When using this certificate:” to say “Use System Defaults”. You can then close out of the info pane, and enter your password again. Do this for any of the certificates that have a blue + on their icon. There should only be one or two at most.
Restart your system.
This solution seemed to work just fine for me. All of my certificate problems have been fixed. It must be something with the OSX installer that causes this certificate issue. I’ll file a bug report. Hopefully someone looks into it and fixes the flaw in the OS. And, I hope that this fixed the flaw for you.
Addendum – a note on security:
This procedure won’t affect the security of your Mac. I’ve had some questions come in about that, and if anything, it makes it more secure because then sites that require SSL certificates can actually use them, unlike before where they might default to non secure connections because the certificate was bad.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

HT3964 power outage seems to have upset macbook pro....says security certificates aren't valid for sites like facebook, google, and apple app site...cannot connect to app store to update

Ice storm -power outage...Macbook Pro wouldn't charge....finally got it to work by holding down the power button but now it says the security certificates aren't valid on sites like facebook, google, and apple app store...cannot update software...any suggestions?

Hi k,
I don't know if it's the same in your OS, but in 10.6.8:
Go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access > Keychain Access menu > Keychain First Aid > enter your password > click on Verify > click on Start. If you get a message saying something needs to be repaired, click on Repair > Start and wait for it to finish.

Can't connect to app store after upgrading to Mavericks

After installing Mavericks, I can't update any of my apps, or open any previous apps. When I do try to sign in, it always says "An unknown error has occurred". I have a yahoo.com Apple ID, but even when I try signing in with a gmail.com Apple ID, I get the same error. What is going on?

That worked gor me as well.
Go to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and then delete NetworkInterfaces.plist
Restarting. Going to the system prefs/network - saving then launching the app store.
Did the trick for me.

Some of the applications on my iPad cannot be updated because the iPad cannot connect to App Store

I don't understand why the applications I have on my iPad don't get updated. Every time I choose Update All, there appears a message saying CANNOT CONNECT TO APP STORE. Is there any problem between my iPad and the App Store or is there any problem with the App Store itself?
Best regards

Hi, tried to download Amazon, asked to update my security, push continue..screen goes white then error message saying' cannot connect to app store' but I'm already on it!

hi, I'm a novice..be gentle! Tried to download Amazon Free... Asked to update my security I pushed OK...screen went white, then an error message saying ' Cannot connect to App Store', however I am already on it! Pls help!!

Are you trying to download the amazon store app? Does this happen with all apps or just amazon?
Try this
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
(How to update your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623)
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

My ipad2 says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when updating apps

My iPad2 says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when updating apps. Connects properly when buying apps or music - only problem is when updating. I have tried all the suggestions that I have found: soft reset, ensuring that restrictions, changing my apple account password, turning on automatic downloads.
Any ideas? Thanks much.

Same here. I have an iPad2, IOS5 WiFi and the iPad can not connect to iTunes store from Videos and Itunes App.
App Sore is OK, and Safari also where connection is ok.
My computer, Windows 7/64 connects via iTunes utility ok.
I upgraded to IOS5 the same day as I got the iPad2, and I am not sure if it worked before.
Any solutions to this problem ?
It looks like that many other users have similar problem.

Why can't I connect to Itunes store, after updating my ipad to OS 6?

Why can't I connect to Itunes store, after updating mt Ipad to Os 6?

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Cannot connect to App Store on iPhone 6

I purchased a new iPhone 6 two weeks ago.
Upon turning it on and attempting to download some apps I constantly came upon the error message 'Cannot Connect to App Store'.
There is no connectivity issue in terms of my wifi or 3/4G. Basically I cannot download or update Apps and it is very inconvenient.
I attended the Apple Store 2 days after I purchased the phone but the Genius there updated the phone and eliminated any hardware issues. He said that it was an issue specific to my phone connecting to the Apple Store. He helped me contact Apple to inform them.
Unfortunately the replies I got from Apple were absurd - they completely missed the issue and just fixated on whether I had an internet connection or whether my phone was updated, even though I had said in my question that I had been through all that.
Does anyone have any advice? I would be very grateful as I do not have the time to go in and dispute this with Apple and arrange a new iPhone.
PLEASE do not link me the article below because it is not helpful:

Thanks,

Hi mate, I had the exact same problem and just figured it out.
On your phone, go to
Settings>> iCloud, then sign out.
Settings >> Itunes & App Store, then click on your Apple ID username and sign out. Then sign in again.
Try going to the App store again and it should work. Worked for me.
Found another blog that highlighted some issues between iCloud login and App store login causing some kind of conflict.
Haven't got to the bottom of it yet, but at least I can use the app store for now.

Hi all. I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Any advice?

Hi all, I have upgraded to 10.6.8 Snow leopard on my Mac Pro but still cannot connect to App store. I want to connect to upgrade to Mountain Lion but ony get the message "you are not connected to App store" or "Check your internet connections, error -52". My internet is working OK for everything else.Any advice?

Then I will have to assume a faulty installation.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
