Hi Philip...


You can avoid the 403 server error by using OpenDNS.


Quit the App Store if it's open.


Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.


Click +


Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.

Click +


208.67.220.220


Then click OK.


Now relaunch the App Store and see if that helped.
