Mac AppStore won't even start today!

I also am running 10.6.7. How can I install 10.6.6 now? Please help.

Same situation for me. Trashing the com.apple.appstore didn't work, removing files as suggested by Carolyn didn't work, and I can't install the 10.6.6 update because I'm up-leveled from that.

I can live without the app store, but it's just a pain that I can't uninstall/reinstall it from scratch...

Apple won't help you if you're not under Apple Care... even though the App Store was just launched recently. So now I have apps purchased on my MacBook Pro that I can't get on the same account on my iMac. Pretty useless if you ask me.

I've tried deleting the Library files listed in various threads but nothing. I managed to squeeze out of the tech at Apple Care (before he all but hung up on me) that I should try deleting the App Store and then reinstalling the 10.6.7 combo. That didn't work. Now I don't even have the App Store on my machine.

Thanks Apple!

If you live in the US, call Apple Customer Relations (800) 767-2775

You might try creating another user account on the iMac and seeing if it works there.

I have been having a problem with trying to update an app using my default user but nothing happens when I try to update and I can't view my account under the store window or sign out. However, if I use an alternate user account, I can update the app so it can't be the App Store app, must be some of the user specific info in my default home folder. I tried deleting all the files that Carolyn suggested with no success but realized that I overlooked the Cookies.plist in ~/Library/Cookies. Doing that got rid of my account in the App store but I still can't sign in. I have been running 10.6.7 since the day it came out and I think a previous update worked under 10.6.7.

Thank you CMCSK but I don't live in the US. I've called Apple on multiple occasions about this but I get nowhere. As soon as they get my iMac's serial, they're done with me. My iMac was a year old in January and no, I didn't purchase the extended Apple Care. Regardless, I think Apple should offer better support on a product like the Mac App Store which was installed on my computer via Software Update. Now I've got this broken, useless app as a result of keeping my OS current.

After trying all the things described in my previous post, my problem was solved by a simple restart of my computer.

Hello Carolyn, I am having a similar problem.. when i start my appstore application in my macbook pro it will start but only says one moment please connecting to the itunes store, and it will stay there for ever.. I have the Mac os x 10.6.7, i tried to do what you said of errasing the cache and the warnings.. but didnt help and i dont know if instaling again the OS lynk you putted there will help because the version it appears is the 10.6.6. My appstore never was opened because this problem i always had it. Thank you!

Dude, this totally fixed my problem too
