Disable anti virus software.


Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall



If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder


Type this exactly as you see it here:


~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db


Click Go


Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.


Now here:


~/Library/Preferences


Click Go


Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.


com.apple.appstore.plist


com.apple.storeagent.pllist


Now here:


~/Library/Cookies


Click Go


Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.


Empty the Trash, try the App Store.

Hi, tried all advice fromCarolyn, no results!
next tried a googled one, to accept legal stuff in iTunes after having logged out/in again.


PLUS: "authorize this Computer for iTunes" or some such stuff


switched back to MacAppStore who bullied me to generate some security-questions (name of first girl kissed or so 😉 ) then started the (previously asked for but denied) download of El-Capitan update ...

hope success will last ...
