Mac App Store Connection Failed After Mavericks Update

Hi y'all,
immediately after I updated my Lion to Mavericks (10.9.1), I could not access no more Mac App Store: as I enter my (valid and active) Apple ID credentials, I receive a "Connection Failed" message (in red, in the same login dialog, under the user id field).
So I've tried to set to "Always Trust" all of my Class 3 Certificates in my Keychain, I removed all of the Mac Appstore plist files (appstore and storeagent), I've also tried to remove the network preferences plist file to reset my network interfaces preferences, I've also deleted the ocsp and crls cache files, and I've setup the ocsp and crls certificates preferences in my Keychain Access to off.
I obviously checked out my App Store account and it's correct and active - I'm also currently using it on my iPhone, iPad and iPod with no problem at all!
Anyway I wanted to try creating a new App Store account from the Mac AppStore itself: after I validated it, I tried to login into Mac AppStore... with no success!
So, NONE of the above mentioned attempts solved the problem, and I'm WORRIED and astonished wondering HOW APPLE COULD RELEASE A MAJOR O.S. UPDATE THAT SMASHES THE MAC APP STORE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE CORE APPS OF THIS O.S.!!! I use Mac OSes since many years and I never had O.S. problems (only some minor issue with third party applications out of Apple's scope and solved with some simple workaround).
CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ME? :-)
THX IN ADVANCE,
DANI

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Mac App Store connection failed

Hi all,
Haven't been able to login to App Store with ID. Keeps saying connection failed, but user and PW are correct. In fact, have changed PW a few times to ensure. Have looked at other threads ..... changing class 3 public to trust ..... parental locks ..... date and time ...... all failed to allow me in.
I'm signed in under root, yet when I log in under different user, App Store works fine..... purchased iPhoto update, upgraded pictures in library under different user and worked. Went back to root and can't log in, tried upgrading iPhoto and when I open app, tells me to update pictures then crashes.
Getting frustrated. Any help appreciated.
Thx.

I'm signed in under root
That's why it isn't working. You should never log in as root.

Mac App Store don't show me updates...

When the Mac App Store is closed, it don't show me that there're updates. I have to start the Mac App Store to show me the updates... How I solve that problem to view the updates without start the Mac App Store??

No, I have one Apple account and two sessions in my mac. Logicaly, I have the same apps for all de users accounts in my mac and all the apps was downloaded with one Apple account in my "A" session. When I start my mac and run my session, the MAS don't show me updates in the dock icon. Without start the MAS, I go to the loggin windows and start another session and the MAS show me updates without start the app... and I don't understand why it doesn't show me updates in my session...

You need to be running v10.6 Snow Leopard.

You can upgrade to Snow Leopard for $29.00 if your Mac meets the minimum requirements.

Mac App Store problem - I have an update for an app that do not exist in my Mac

Hi, I have an update for an app that I never didn't bought before in my Mac App Store.
Thats happen before more than a year, I tried everything including updating the app (got an error) and format the Mac but the update for this app didn't remove.
the problem is maybe in my Apple account so I need your help, is there any way to remove this update?

You may have installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

Problems with mail and Mac App Store, can't reinstall mavericks.

I have a 2012 Macbook Air. A while ago, I started getting this message when I tried to open mail.
Also, when I try to open the mac app store, it looks like this regardless of the tab I choose.
First, I tried backing everything up through time machine and restoring my mac, but that did nothing. Next, I tried repairing the disk through recovery mode, but it said everything was ok. Lastly, I tried reinstalling Mavericks through recovery mode, but I got a message saying "OS X Mavericks failed to download. Use purchases page to try again." Of course, I can't use the purchases page because it won't load . The nearest Apple store is 2 hours away, so I'd really like to avoid visiting one, if possible. I would be grateful beyond words for any help. Thanks in advance.

Just to confirm, you can boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
When you select to reinstall OS X, what happens?
Fix for missing MAS
It's possible #1 will do the trick, but you might need to do the additional steps in Keychain access.
1. 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.
2. 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.
(Note: I had to toggle the settings before it would stick)
Restart your system.

is there any way we can reinstall the appstore?

Hi chetan16in,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the Mac App Store is not launching in Mavericks, there are a few steps that can help isolate or resolve the issue.
First, try booting your computer into safe mode:
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
If the App Store is lauching normally in safe mode, this usually means OS X is fine, and the issue is caused by conflicts in your user account.
Next, see if the App Store behaves normally in a new user account. The steps in this article also apply to creating a new user in Mavericks:
OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account

HT1338 Mac app store won't let me update iPhoto and iMovie.

I'm trying to update iPhoto & iMovie, just got a new mac and when I go into the Mac App Store and click update on iPhoto and iMovie it says: "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." .....both came pre-installed on my mac and I only have one apple ID, I don't have another one to sign into... please help?

You should be able to go the Mac App Store, login with your Apple ID that you have set up and registered, and then since you just bought the iMac New you should find those two Apps to click on listed in the "Purchases" List that is associated with your Apple ID account. You may or may not need to, for Free, redownload those two Apps from the Purchases List to trigger allowing Free Updates. I'm not sure, not having done this that way.
Hope this helps

Mac App Store starts only after hard shutdown

Hi,
i have the following problem after upgrading to lion (in fact, everything worked fine for a few weeks):
the mac app store freezes around 10 seconds after starting. usually it loads a few descriptions and pictures before freezing.
the strange thing is, the app store works (but slowly) if i reboot after a hard shutdown. i repeated this several times now. it doesn't work after a normal shutdown with reboot.
i tried many different things:
- reinstalled lion (using recovery)
- repaired volume (Macintosh HD)
- repaired disk permissions
- removed several third-party applications
- increased free HD space to > 20% of capacity
- created new admin account,
but no change
these problems started around 3 weeks AFTER upgrading to lion
i have a mac book air (end of 2010 version, 4 GB ram, 13")
many thanks for any suggestions

Hi,
After looking a long time online for this problem, I found a solution for it.
Go to the app "Keychain Access" (located in /Applications/Utilities), open Preferences (Comman+,), click on Certificates, and change the value of "Certificate Revocation List (CRL)" from 'Best Attempt' to 'Off'. Quit Keychain Access, and log out so that the changes occur. Log back in to your account and the Mac App Store should work without freezing.

My mac app store shows someone else's update

My Mac App Store is showing someone else's update. the update is for an app called CodeBox. I've never heard of it, not even purchasing it. when I tried to cleaning my computer's cache, it's still there. What should I do?? It's very irritating for my family...

I can't see how it has achieved such notariety in your household ... it is simply an inexpensive developers tool.   That said, you or someone else has downloaded it at some time; it won't just appear.
But you can check that.   As it is a paid app, it will appear in your purchases list (hidden or unhidden) and if by some odd situation it doesn't, write to the billing department and ask for a copy of the account it featured on.
In terms of getting rid of it, the chances are it could have been partially deleted by the person who downloaded it.   But you have a clone or similar in your system and that is why MAS is picking it up and showing the update availability.
You're going to have to search a little harder, I'm afraid.

Mac App store submission fails because of QuickTime API usage

I just tried to upload a desktop app to the Mac app store and got an update email from Apple saying:
"... Deprecated API Usage - Apple no longer accepts submissions of apps that use QuickTime APIs...'
I'm not explicitly using QuickTime in my app as far as I know, but I do use StageVideo. With a bit of searching it appears that other frameworks (Unity for instance) are experiencing the same problem just recently. I guess this is possibly a bigger picture issue where Apple have changed something that breaks the desktop submission process for some frameworks.
Has anyone else seen this issue (if not then I guess maybe not many desktop apps are being submitted) and if so is there a workaround?
** EDIT **
I think it is something to do with this:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/releasenotes/General/CarbonCoreDeprecations/index. html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012224-CH1-SW16
And there is at least one other person that has noticed it :
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5906984

There is a bug report on bugbase for this issue now - it looks like it will affect all attempts to upload an AIR app to the Mac App store. If you are developing a desktop app or have existing desktop apps for sale on the app store then this issue will probably stop you releasing or updating them.
Adobe engineers are apparently aware and investigating but a vote if the issue affects you would always help:

Mac App Store login fails, but Apple ID/password is correct.

OK, I just went to get an App, and login failed repeatedly (5 times). In between, I went to iTunes and opened up my account info, which required login, which worked. Same on iCloud on my browser.
Now, I go back about 10 minutes later, and now suddenly the Mac App Store login works.
Weird.

Mac app store upload failed due to a general error

I am using the latest XCode, freshly installed. I am working with Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. Wherever I try to upload a new application to the mac app store, I get the following error message:
Unable to process validateProductSoftwareAttributes request at this time due to a general error.
I submitted the app yesterday and it was validated and waiting for review, so there were no issues at all. But today I rejected the binary because I found a bug. Now it does not upload anymore. There have not been any changes to the Info.plist or the entitlement file.
The error message hints to wait for some hours and try again, but I have bad experiences with application submitting and not getting sound error messages.
Any hints?

>I submitted the app yesterday and it was validated and waiting for review, so there were no issues at all. But today I rejected the binary because I found a bug. Now it does not upload anymore. There have not been any changes to the Info.plist or the entitlement file.

I can't login to the App Store - connection failed...

yesterday I had totally forgot my password and security question & went through 'Apple Express Lane' in getting assistance to reset my password for my ID "[email protected]" account so I can update to Lion OSX & merge my MobileMe account to iCloud through the 'App Store'
the password was reset and was able to login to the App Store with new password and download OSX Lion.
I have now successfully installed OSX Lion and have completed all the updates up to OSX Lion 10.7.3
after the updates, I wanted to purchase some games through the App Store and tried to login, but I get a message in red
'Connection Failed'
I tried to find answers and post a topic in 'Apple Discussions Forum' using Safari 5.1.3, but it won't let me sign-in on my ID '[email protected]' and my password.I get the following message :
'This Apple ID has been locked for security reasons. Visit iForgot to reset your account (https://iforgot.apple.com). Forgot your Apple ID?'
But I just reset it with the Express guy??
The other thing is I keep getting 'security certificates' popping up as well every time I attempt to login into 'Apple Discussions' or click to another webpage for a different site. Even when I click on legitimate(I hope) certificate to always trust, I find I have to repeat the step again
even with iTunes when I go to sign in I get the following:
iTunes can't verify the identity of the server "buy.itunes.apple.com"
The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "buy.itunes.apple.com" , which could put your confidential information at risk. Would like to connect to the server anyway?
so... wishing I didn't upgrade now
I had gone back to the apple support by email and they said I needed to reset my password again.
which have done and still no change. Twice now over the last two days in changing password.
When I use 'Firefox 10.0.2' I can login to iCloud & Apple Support Community & and don't get the pop up verify security cert's
I hope I have given 'enough' details, any help would greatly appreciated
My Hardware specs:
iMac 7,1
2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB Memory
Thanks
Dave

I am having the same problem. It was working fine until yesterday.
