Mac App Store Will Not Load At All

Hello all,
I just received my new MacBook Pro a few days ago, and after booting it the first time upgraded to the most recent Mac OS X (10.6). This of course installed the Mac App Store.
The Mac App Store will open but will not load - period. It will not allow me to sign in, just always says loading and it never actually does (it does occasionally say that the store is unable to process my request, and to try again later).
At any rate, it's been several days now, and I'm getting quite frustrated. I've removed the program and reinstalled the 10.6 upgrade just to see if that would help, and it didn't. The Mac App Store simply won't do anything except listing "Loading" indefinitely.
Any help that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Yesterday i performed all updates available for my macbook pro, and now i have a few problems:
- I cannot open my "mac app store", when i try to start the application the sign "moves" a couple of times in my dock, but it wont open. (thereafter the sign disappears since i don't have a shortcut on my dock). I tried to enter those lines in the terminal, this didn't help.
- Also when i want to open some documents (pdf's, jpg's & exel files) preview & exel have the same problem, they just don't open. however, when i start the program myself i can open the documents (via archive) without a problem?!
i hope you guys & gals can help me!
Mvg,
Hayovdg
PS: sorry for my english, i'm not a native speaker.

Mac App store will not allow me to sign in...I have done all the updates on my Mac???

Mac App store will not allow me to sign in so I can't purchase or update app's...it has worked before? I have done all updates for Mac...

Do you not see the sign in sheet?
Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
And if you have anti virus software installed, disable that before trying to access the App Store.
If you have Litlte Snich installed, that can prevent access to the App Store.
Keep in mind, you can't update your existing apps from another Apple ID if you create a new account.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Hello, Pofolksx4.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on what the exact issue you are experiencing with the App Store to provide a better answer. However, here are some troubleshooting steps that will help.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

What do you mean by "my ipods internet doesnt look how it should"?
What happens when you try to use the App store? Error message?

So I just updated my iPad2 to the ios 6, but now my App Store will not load up. What should I do?

Check the Restrictions settings and see if "installing apps" has been inadvertently turned on.

App Store will not load after upgrading to mac osx 10.7.2

Upgraded my MacBook Pro to 10.7.2 and now App Store will not present any information... seems to hang trying to connect to the store. This is just one symptom of issues after the upgrade... Outlook, Safari, KeyChain Access, etc all failing to load or to operate properly.

Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.2 Client Combo
Then restart your Mac.
If you still have problems, you may need to repair the startup disk.
Use Lion Recovery to do that.

Mac App store will not install / run

My mac says that OSX 10.6.6 is installed. If I attempt in launch the app store, the icon appears in the dock briefly then disappears. It is the same if its launched from Applications or Apple menu. I tried to uninstall the app store then re- installing 10.6.6 combo but I get an 'Unknown error occurred during the installation of this software....' The App re-appears in the Apps folder but still fails to run. I have checked disk permissions, tried re-installing but the same error persists.

Hi,
Follow the instructions at this link...

Where you see:
"If the Mac App Store has been fully removed from your computer, visit AppleCare Support Downloads to download the Mac OS X v10.6.6 Combo Software Update package. Double click the file that downloads to run the Software Update. The Mac App Store will be replaced in the Applications folder and in your Dock."

Mac App Store will not show 3.2.2 as an available update

I upgraded to Lion last week, but Aperture 3.2.2 is not showing up as an available update. Will I be stuck with 3.1.3 until Apple releases the next update? I'm not sure what to do.
Thinking out loud...could the Mac App Store may be confused about what version of Aperture I'm using? I downloaded Lion on the first day that it was available, but I didn't install it because I had some Rosetta applications. In the interim from when I downloaded Lion and installed it, I think Aperture was updated to 3.1.3. Is there a way to reset the Mac App Store so that it will rescan my apps for available updates?

Is Aperture installed in the system Application folder as Aperture (noting else no Aperture3.1.3 or anything like that)
Did you buy 3 from the App Store? Are you logging in to the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy Aperture?
In the App Store in the Purchases tab what is listed?
If all the above is OK then you could just remove Aperture from the Application folder (drag it to the Desktop) and then go to the App Store. It should allow you to download the app again and will give you the latest version.

HT1338 Mac App Store will not install Mountain Lion update

I am having an issue where I try to install the 10.8.4 update from the Mac App Store. I click on the button and it says it needs to restart to install. I tell it to restart and install but it does nothing. I get the Mac App store back with it asking me to install the update again. Looking at the infobox I see that I am still on 10.8.3.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks

Give this a try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
After this is completed download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo).

Mac app store will not open/missing

app store .app will not open- it appears to be missing from my version of OSX (10.6.8) entirely somehow, meaning I can';t update to Mavericks. I've searched the OSX forums to no avail and performed system updates. Any help?

The quickest way to try to fix it is to download the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo and manually install the update. It should fill in any missing gaps. I suggest dragging & dropping the Mac App Store into the Trash before the installation to let the update install a fresh version of the MAS.

Mac App store will not connect

My 27 inch iMac and can't connect to the Mac App Store
I'm running 10.8.2
A bit of history. I've had a new [Seagate] drive fitted this week under the Apple replacement programme.
I did a complete restore from time macine backup which left me not able to login to my machine.
After two days of calls to Apple Support finally got access to all my Data.
So back to can't connect problem.
It's not a problem with parental controls as there are none. I am logged in from a master admin account.
I have full internet access. I can access iTunes from my 27 inch iMac using the same apple ID not problem.
When I open the App store and try and login to my account it says 'connection failed' in red.
Btw I can access the App sore no problem from my Mac Book Pro using the same apple ID
Apple Support have been unable to help me so far.
Any ideas anyone?
Best regards
Phil Cunningham

Hi, something else is wrong.
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>AccountsUsers & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does App Store work in the new account?

Mac app store will not connect under a managed user account but will under admin. Please help clear this up?

After I have installed OSX Mountain lion I clicked on the app store to buy an app. Only one problem, it says it "cannot connect", I then tried under the admin account and it worked no problem. I log back into the managed user account and disable any parental controls that might be interferring, I try again and it worked. I need the mac app store to work under the managed user with parental controls on. I cleared the iTunes store cache and reset the warnings just to see if that might do the trick but no luck. When the latest update was availble I updated immediatly in hopes of that might fixing the problem but again it did not work. I would really appreciate if anyone had any ideas on how to help solve this issue.
-Thanks

Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no improvement, continue.
Step 2
Reset your computer’s PRAM.

IPhoto 9.2.1 update from Mac App Store will not update from 9.1.5

I downloaded the iPhoto 9.2.1 update from Mac App Store.
When I try to update from 9.1.5 to 9.2.1, I get the message: "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store."
Since the Mac App Store is where I downloaded the update from, I don't know how exactly to proceed.
Any suggestions?

Terence and Peter,
I have iPhoto 9.1.5 which was installed on my iMac that I received November, 2011.
My wife has the 9.2.1 version of iPhoto on her MacBook Pro which she bought months before I bought my iMac.
My iPhoto library opens fine in 9.1.5 on my iMac but will not open the copy of her iPhoto library that I copied to my iMac. We have two libraries and I want the same one she has instead of two separate libraries.
I went to the Mac App Store and downloaded iPhoto9.2.1 Update.dmg to my desktop.
I then opened the .dmg and clicked on the iPhoto9.2.1Update.pkg.
The install iPhoto Update window started to open briefly before the Alert message "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available" appeared.
I checked the MAS and found this link and this is what I downloaded: http://support.apple.com/downloads#iPhoto%209.2.1
hth, Bob
