ive been experiencing a problem with the app store on my macbook pro for quite some time now
every time i open the app store it shows a black screen.
and if i got to the updates i get a message saying that the app store is temporarily unavailable.
its been driving me crazy
i created a new user and the app store works just fine
if any one can help then pleeeeease do!!!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
If the MAS works in a test user account and it doesn't work in your account, then there is likely an issue that you will spend forever trying to track down and solve.
Perhaps drag & drop the MAS app in the Trash and then download and install the most recent OS X Combo update for your Mac and let it install a new MAS app.
OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 update combo

If that doesn't work then I would search the internet for instructions to migrating your stuff to the test user account and abandon your user account.

it wont let me delete MAS. i downloaded the combo anyway but no change
Make sure Spotlight is not disabled. I had this problem because I had Spotlight disabled. http://osxdaily.com/2011/12/10/disable-or-enable-spotlight-in-mac-os-x-lion/
