Since Lion update, Mac App Store doesn't work properly

Hi,
with the Lion update, my problems with the app store started.
It loads descriptions, sometimes a few pictures, sometimes nothing. and sometimes it even works fine.
But most times, the beach ball appears and the app store freezes forever.
otherwise the computer works fine, including the internet.
i repaired disk permissions, and freshly rebooted. i tried everything several times.
the itunes store works fine as well.
(regarding other posts: i don't use bootcamp, spotlight is active, about 10GB free HD space. there are no other speed problems)
i have a mac book air 2010, 4 GB ram.
i'm grateful for any suggestions.
cheers,

Hi, thanks again.
I reinstalled Lion (using Recovery), but the problem remains. Even worse, Apple Software Update didn't work any more. As soon as I selected something for installation (e.g. iTunes), the progress bar would show but then it used to freeze forever (internet connection was fine). I tried several times after reboot.
The I tried a hard shutdown (holding the power key pressed), and after that, the app store was working (very slowly) and i could also install the software updates.
However, after a normal reboot, the app store didn't work any more.
I repeated this twice with the same result: the app store works after a hard shutdown, but not after a normal shutdown+reboot.
Any suggestions?

Mac App Store doesn't work.

Some of the apps that came with the computer, including Mac App Store and Calendar, has problems while launching and they quit themselves very soon after.
I cannot update software because as I said, the Mac App Store does not work.
Here is a part of the error report it gives when I open Calendar.:
Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000
Application Specific Information:
dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries
Dyld Error Message:
Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_CalUICalendarInfoViewController
Referenced from: /Applications/Calendar.app/Contents/MacOS/Calendar
Expected in: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CalendarUI.framework/Versions/A/CalendarUI
in /Applications/Calendar.app/Contents/MacOS/Calendar
It gives the same error on the app store as well.
Please help me if you can. Thank you.

Am I qualify to join Mountain Lion if I purchased Lion through Mac App Store lately in early July

I purchased the Mac OS X Lion through Mac App Store in early July. Am I qualify to join the Up-to-date program for Mountain Lion? If yes, how is this be done?

No you are only qualified for an update when you bought a mac that doesnt include mountain lion. Buying the older version OS X lion does not fall into that category.
From apple website :
If you recently bought a new Mac that doesn’t include OS X Mountain Lion, you can upgrade for free from the Mac App Store. You may qualify for the Up-to-Date Program if you bought your Mac from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 11, 2012.

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

Do you see a price next to Lion ($29.99 or local equivalent)? Click that to purchase and download it. You'll have to sign in if you're not already.
Also, your profile is wrong if you don't already have Lion (which IS 10.7).

Thanks Neil. Though I have purchased Mountain Lion from Mac App stores before HD crash, this is not shown in the list of purchases.why?

If you go to System Preferences > Network do you see other networks listed on the left panel? Is the lock in the lower left corner closed? If not, highlight your network, then close the lock so you block other networks.

Look in the Applications folder for the Mountain Lion installer. If you find it or a partial download, delete it and see if you can start the download again.

Is your data backed up?
Are you running any non-Apple system optimization tools?

Hi..
Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo reinstalls the App Store for you. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. Then try the App Store.
If that didn't help, if you have anti virus software installed, you need to disable that. And third party apps such as Little Snitch can prevent access to the App Store as well.

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
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.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly. It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again. Any suggestions?

Try to force quit the mail app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

HI ..
The only way to reinstall OS X on a Mac already running v10.9 is to use OS X Recovery.
Starrtup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and reinstall OS X.
Please read > OS X Recovery

My App Store doesn't work in my iPhone... Why?

My App Store doesn't work in my iPhone.
This white screen and doesn't connect, Is down?

Hi, Mari_MEL.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to connect to the App Store on your iPhone. Here is the troubleshooting article that I would go through when experiencing this issue.
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 clickingCheck 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 guidefor 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.
