I am having exactly the same problem as Gladys documents, on two different systems.

HOWEVER, no problem on my laptop (knock on wood!).

Upgraded all three today to 10.7.5 via Software Update, but this problem existed before the update (I am pretty sure). Anyways, that same update has not messed up on my laptop.

So, not sure what to do to fix this.

I tried the “changing of the date and time” but that did not work.

I also went to network settings and could see that all proxies were already unchecked; so I check one, unchecked it, and I still cannot connect.

Well, I do not know what else to try…

I have the same problem as Joey: connects fine in the Featured/top charts/categories tabs but not in purchases or updates tabs. I cant log in or create a new account, it tells me the connection failed even though my internet works fine. My apple ID is active as I can purchase from my iPhone & iPad and I can connect to iTunes. None of the solutions above worked with me, unfortunately. Pls. help!! and tks.

This solved the problem for me. However you have to do EVERY blue cross item.

I am having problems, my App Store was working fine a few weeks ago, I could install apps and everything, but now all of a sudden, I click on the buy/free button of an app, and it comes up with the ‘install’ button, so I click on that, but nothing happens for about 10 minutes or so (just the little wheel spinning up the top), and then the screen comes up with: ‘Cannot Connect To App Store’. I have strong internet connection, I tried relaunching the App Store (with no success to the situation) and then I followed advice from this website to sign out of my account and log back in… but the only problem is, I can’t!! I click on the ‘sign-in’ button and nothing happens… no screens pop up or anything! Now I can’t even log back in to the store, and it’s still not working properly!! I can’t also create a new account, as the email address I used for my first account is the one I have to use again- but it says that the account name is already taken!! Does anyone have any advice on what to do?? That would be very appreciated. Thanks!
