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.

  • 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).

    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:

  • Where do I input my code for redeeming free copy of Mountain Lion? I have received it (with this secure pdf file) but in Mac App Store see only function "Buy". Where do I input this code to get my free copy?

    Anyone also knows why this update is so ridiculously weird? Snap your bill, send us picture - looks so in contrary to Apple's core principle of simplicity! I'm very disappointed.

    My guess would be to open the AppStore, then in the QuickLinks panel on the right of the first screen you should be able to choose Redeem to redeem a code.

  • Error 102 mac app store

    hy guys, many thanks in advance.
    I've got an early 2008 iMac, yesterday i decided to re-install Mountain Lion as a brand new plain install (in effects i had always made upgrade from prevoius osx).
    I can't get the updates, Mac app store starts downloading but after 20 MB i get "ERROR 102" message and also internet is extremly slow.
    It's strange because my mb air my ipad and my iphone do work fine!
    I tried to "google" about this error and got some things to do (delete caches and plist files, reinstall Osx, ...) but i get the same message.
    Any idea?
    Thank you in advance (and sorry 4 my not perfect english! )
    Fabio

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    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.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.

  • Mac App Store says I have updates for another account and an app, both of which I don't have?

    Ive only had my Macbook Pro for about a month now and just a few weeks in the Mac App Store started telling me that I had an update available for Angry Birds (an app which I never bought or installed) and that I need to log into another specific account to update it (an apple id/email which I've never seen before)?
    So, I have no idea how this random email was associated to my Mac or why angry birds is prompting...
    I tried the Spotlight Re-indexing I read about but its still there.
    Thoughts?

  • Is OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard available in the Mac app store, because I can't find it ??

    I have now Leopard on my Macbook pro. I need to install snow leopard first before to have the possibility to install Lion.
    But I can't find snow leopard on the Mac App Store ....
    How should I do ??

    The Mac App Store was only introduced at the 10.6.6 update. As you need Snow Leopard before you can access the App Store, it's hardly going to be available there, is it?
    You have to buy the retail Snow Leopard DVD. That is available from Apple stores or the Apple online store (as distinct from the App Store) for about $30.
    It will also be available from Amazon.
    The installer is 10.6.3, so you'll need to use the combo update to get to 10.6.8.

  • Lion installed but Mac App Store says install

    I have a 2009 MacBook and a 2006 iMac on which I have upgraded to Lion via the Mac App Store. Recently, the Mac App Store started saying "Install" next to Lion. I pressed "Install" and Lion re-downloaded and re-installed but the Mac App Store still says "Install" next to Lion but clearly Lion was installed before and after (10.7.3). ????

    It may be that the Lion installer has been downloaded to your Mac but it hasn't yet been run.  Look for it in the Dock or in the Applications folder.  If you see it there, launch it to install Lion.

  • How do I transfer apps from Mac App Store to my ipad?

    Before I bought and iPad, I purchased Diner Dash for my Mac using the Mac App store in the dock. I'm trying to transfer Diner Dash from my Mac onto my iPad too and I can't seem to figure out how. Please help!

    You can't; Mac App Store applications only work on Macs. As the developer needs to create and maintain the two versions separately, having bought one doesn't entitle you to a free download of the other.

  • HT4461 My daughter was using our iPad and now the Mac App Store icon is missing - where did it go and how do I restore it back to the main screen?

    Need some assistance

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I think you wanted to say App Store. Mac App Store is only available in Macs, not on an iPad.
    She probably enabled restrictions. Open Settings > General > Restrictions, and disable them by using the password she set. If she doesn't remember it, you have to restore your device to default settings in Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, losing everything stored in the device

  • Can't post review in Mac App Store

    I wanted to add a review for Coda which I purchased before the Mac App Store started. The Mac App Store has detected that I have Coda installed but it won't allow me to write a review because I didn't purchase it through the store.
    I don't want to purchase it again just to write a review.

  • Want to have mac app store.  using 10.5.8. what software updates are needed? all seem to be complete.  thanks, want to have mac app store.  using 10.5.8. what software updates are needed? all seem to be complete.  thanks

    Would like to have the mac app store available to me on my mac.  I am using10.5.8.  I tried to update to 10.6.8 but got error message indicating that I needed 10.6 first.  I have mac set to automatically do all updates so I thought I was up to date.  If I buy the 10.6 update via apple store and install and then install 10.6.8 will i then have access to the mac app store??

    Mac app store is only available on Snow Leopard (10.6). You will need to purchase the upgrade. Only Lion (10.7) is available as a download through the app store and you need SL first.

  • Does purchasing a Maverick Mac give you iWork on the Mac App Store?

    Hi everyone!
    I have not purchased iWork from the Mac App Store before, but I've seen it and used it on iPhone and I prefer its simplicity to Microsoft Office. Plus, I give presentations frequently enough and I like Keynote a lot more for all its usability and effects.
    I'm thinking of getting another Mac soon, and I'm glad to hear that the new Macs running Mavericks come with iWork. However, I'm wondering if I will have iWork as under my Purchases in the Mac App Store by default after buying the new Mac, since they come together. That way, I'll be able to install it on my other Mac, since the Mac App Store allows you to install your purchases on all the devices you own.
    Does anyone know whether I'll be able to do this? Will iWork be put under my Mac App Store purchases since I will own it as a result of buying the new Mac?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, once you have the iWork apps installed on the new Mac, the apps will be available to download and install from the Purchases pane on your other Macs.

  • Mac App Store download scheduler?

    i am recieving a 5k iMac for Christmas this year, I have a question about the Mac app store.  I have satellite Internet and my unlimited period is from 3am-8am.  Is there a way to have the Mac app store start downloads at 3am so I wouldnt use all the daytime data up?  If the App Store doesn't have that feature, is there a third party program that could make it possible to download things from the Mac aop store during those times?  Thanks.

    I'll such puppy built into the Mac App Store app.
    You might look into the Automator app that comes free on the Mac, perhaps you can create a workflow that will accomplish what you wish to do.
