Getting Error Code 13 with Mac App Store on OS X Lion

Hey all,


I just updated my Macbook to Mac OS X Lion. Now whenever I go into Mac App Store, I can log into my Apple ID but cannot redownload any of my previous purchases.


I continue to get the error 13 for any of my downloads. I've tried rebooting my Mac, logging out and back into my Apple ID on the Mac App Store.


Nothing works. Any idea?

I figured it out.


I signed up for another Apple ID account within the Mac Apple Store. After completing the validation, I logged into the new account then logged out.


Closed down the Mac App Store and relaunched it. Then I logged in using my original Apple ID with all my purchases linked to it.


I'm now available to download items fine without error. I hope this helps others with the same issue.
