It works perfectly. Thank IIMITY.

I got my new mac book pro a few months ago and the apple app store has never worked. I gave up and was waiting for an update to fix the problem but now that Lion is out I need access to the app store. And this did the trick.

Cheers

Hi,

My problem is that when I open the App Store, it doesn't load (although it doesn't freeze). At the same time, when I open iTunes, it freezes and my curser becomes an hourglass and I can't click anything (I have for Force quit iTunes). I know I have software updates to download in iTunes and Safari, but I can't do that either because halfway through it freezes.

Help! Does anyone know what to do????

Thanks!

I have the exact same problem! When I open the Mac App Store, it keeps loading. And when I try to close iTunes, i can't. I have to use 'force close'. AND on google chrome, I can't go on facebook and hotmail. Other sites work as they should. Very strange, isn't it??

I had a similar problem and the solution for me was to:

1) Logout from iTunes

2) Apply proposed solution up here:

rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist

rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist

rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/*

Please note, in case you stopped spotlight service you'll also need to re-enable it.

At this point start App Store and it should finally work.

Cheers!
