Macbook Late 09 10.6.8 App Store not working fresh install

Greetings!
I had upgraded the Macbook to Yosemite not very long ago and then decided to purchase a SSD. I have a Snow Leopard disc, so I installed SL and immediately ran the updates. Now when I open the app store, every 'Get', 'Download' or 'Install App' button does nothing.
I tried everything I could find online (deleting plists and cache>reboot, disable firewall, checked all network settings, enabled/disabled indexing etc etc).
I finally gave up and ran the install disk again. I erased and zeroed the SSD and tried everything again. Once the install completed, I went straight to Software Update and ran everything again. Same deal. I sign in App Store and nothing works.
There are no error messages. Each button grays out like its clicked, but nothing happens, even after leaving it for hours. There are no incomplete downloads and nothing changes status on the 'Purchases' list.

Hmmm... I've been trying since Wednesday night also.
My Software update also shows there are no updates with 10.6.8 running. I'm signed the App Store etc. My hardware is definitely compatible since I already had Yosemite installed before the HDD swap.

    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

  • App store not working after installing Mavericks

    After I installed OS Mavericks the app store no longer responds. This means I cannot install any of the updates. The notes app is also not working. I can start the programmes but they do not respond or close. I have to literraly close them through the activity monitor.
    Is anyone else experiencing the same issues? Is there a fix for this?
    Kind Regards,
    Micky Kieboom

    I am having the same issue. Why is Apple taking so long to respond?

  • Mac App Store not working? (Glitching and flashing!)

    Mac App Store not working? (Glitching and flashing!)
    I was at my friends house, everything was working fine. I went to my girlfriends house, everything was still working fine. Then once I got home, I got back out my 2010 MacBook Pro 15" to use and some pages on the internet looked a little odd. They were all in HTML format and wouldn't go back (Pages such as Skype and Apple's main page). I thought they were just down or being fixed up, but then I went to update my Mac under the App Store. I clicked the App store and a message popped up saying "App Store cannot verify a secure connection with the App Store." The options were "Cancel" or "Continue". I clicked "Continue" so I could update my Mac, but weird enough, the App Store started flickering (strobing; blinking) as seen in this video by someone with the same problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De8aQZccRvA
    I do not know what to do or why this is happening, so help would be VERY nice.

    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 (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.

  • App Store not working?

    App Store not working

    FYI.  Super annoying that I had to do this, but I factory reset my phone and set it up as a new phone and that solved the problem.  That is a little less of a pain for me since I have all my contacts sync'd with gmail so they all just pop back up when I add that account on my phone.
    App store working like a champ for now.

  • App Store not working IPad2

    I have an IPad 2.  Just got ita few months ago.  All was working well untill last night.  My App Store will not work.  It will open but it will not let you search or show apps.  All I get is a white screen.  I have tried resetting, hard boot, nothing works.  I wanted to buy and download an app but now I cannot. Please help anyone?

    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.

    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.

  • Mac App Store not working - first day with new MacBook Pro

    Hi guys,
    I received a new MacBook Pro 13 inch with retina display today and have been working on it this evening but I have a problem: My app store won't open.
    It was fine earlier - I downloaded both textwrangler and notepad - but now, whenever I click on the icon in the dock it bounces for a few seconds before simply showing a blank screen.
    I have uninstalled my downloads from the day in the hope that it would prove to be a fix but nothing has happened. I live in the UK so it's too late for me to ring the store - it's past 10pm here - but I was hoping somebody could help me out!
    Also - My iTunes doesn't work - whenever I try to purchase an album or listen to any music an error message pops up reading 'an unknown error occurred.' I'm not sure if the two problems are linked...
    Any help will be greatly, and gladly, appreciated!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Why does the App Store not work in Genius with VoiceOver switched on

    After I downloaded IOS 6 to my iPhone 4 there were a lot of things not working properly, the main things that were a problem was the App Store, to move anything with VoiceOver switched on it was touch-and then tap twice also to move the thing on the page you use three fingers swipe up or down left or right to move it. We now find that to move something in Charts you only need one finger touchon the left to move it.If Some body can  come up with thee answer it is the People that work in the Accessability side of things at Apple. So if you know in Ireland why Apple cannot put in the info for Accessability for People who are Blind like me we cannot see what is going on we do not change anyof the settings...

    Thank you very much for the reply. That certainly makes sense, as I am sure it is all the Time Machine backups I have that are at the root of the problem. How can I update all those older version Apps deeply embedded within my TM backups, or is the solution to unmount my 2TB drive that I use for TM?
    I suppose if Apple could somehow direct the App Store to disregard all those other apps in TM, the problem would be resolved.

  • App store not working properly a new hard drive in iMac

    Hey guys,
             My seagate hard drive crashed, so had to get a new hard drive in intel late 2009 iMac. When I go to app store, it is acting weird. Some of the programs it says I have installed are not installed on my computer. So I am unable to download them. Also I am unable to update garageband, imovie and iphoto. No clue what needs to be done. Hope spmepme has a answer.
    Thanks Philip

  • App Store not working 10.6.8

    I'm trying to start with a clean slate on my 2008 Macbook Pro.
    I installed a new hard drive today and booted with my Snow Leopard disk, then I did the software update to get to version 10.6.8. I am now trying to install Yosemite, and I have access to the App Store, but none of the download links work. When I click "Get" nothing happens. I previously had Mavericks installed on this Mac, so it should not be a hardware issue. Does anyone know how to fix my App store or a workaround to get Yosemite?
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,3
