Mac App Store not working

Hello,

I can't use App Store since I had upgraded from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. When I was using Snow Leopard everything was OK, and my other Mac which is still using Snow Leopard is fine too.

When I open App Store it always stucks in "connecting to the itunes store" and itunes shows no reaction to it.

I have no luck in signing in via App Store too, nothing will happen like App Store main window. It stucks in spinning gear.

My iTunes account doessn't have any problem at all, as I'm downloadin iOS apps regularly.

I've tried deleting App Store caches, Cookies, Prefernces from library which seems ahs solved similar situations but it has no effect for me.

Thank you.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

Try turning off the Firewall in System Preference - Security / Firewall.

And try here > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear.

Third party software such as Little Snitch will prevent the MAS from launching.

Launch iTunes. From the menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.

Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache.

Quit iTunes. Try the App Store.

Well, still no luck..

When I try to sign in the text is visible, but nothing will happen after clicking on sign in, just spinnig gear!

Firewall is off on my system and I have no 3rd party network related apps like little snitch, etc...

It can access the Internet because when I click on "View in Mac App Store" for any app in my web browser, MAS will show up and works like a web browser, nothing more! Even it shows View in Mac App Store too!
