Mac App Store "quits unexpectedly" when I try to open it. How do I remedy this so I can download Lion? If you have a fix, please describe in layman's terms as much as possible. Thanks.
MacBook Air-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo which should re install the Mac App Store for you.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.

Ooh, I can ask Carolyn, my favorite expert!
The problem with me is that I already use Lion - no problems so far - but the App Store comes up with a "Cannot connect with the App Store" text. The only changes I've made recently include an update to GLIMS and periodic updates on 1Password.
Ah, no one's interested.
It turns out that the issue came from Little Snitch. Once I updated to v 2.4.2, everything works fine. The App Store and Software Update are back to normal.
Thank you Carolyn,
That worked out great, allowing me to access the App Store and download Lion. However, now I have a new issue.... My Adobe Acrobat no longer works. I never updated it, now stuck with what to do to create pdf files. Ideas?
Unfortunately, the combo updates Safari > Apple Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat Advisory
You can view PDF's in Preview.
Right or control click a PDF file you have on the hard drive then click Get Info.
Click the pop up menu next to: Open with. Select Preview. If it's not available, click Other. Navigate to the Applications folder, select Preview.
Then click: Change All
1Password.
If you have the trial version installed, uninstall the software.

Use the native Mac OS X app Keychain Access instead.
/Applications / Utilities
For Glims: Install the latest build: http://www.machangout.com/
For what it's worth, Little Snitch will cause no end of problems and according to Apple, "alters the system". You don't need it.

At the end of the install of the combo pack, I get yet another error message saying the install failed. Is there any solution that won't require me to back up all my data and re-install my OS?
