Hello,
After the Yosemite upgrade, I cannot get the app store to actually load. It just perpetually spins the loading icon next to the < > buttons. I see that I have pending upgrades.
I've tried different internet connections, coffee shops, is there a workaround? I really don't want to "restore" my OS unless I have to.

Hi squarecircles,
It seems that you are experiencing some issues with the App Store in Yosemite. I have a couple of articles for you that should be able to help you address this issue:
OS X: "Cannot connect" or "Cannot connect to the App Store. An internet connection is required"

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

I had similar problems.
I noticed that there where a lot of other applications than App store that were struggling with internet connectivity as well. I was using Wifi at the time.
So I thought; maybe its not a problem with the apps, but with the Wifi.. Sure enough, as soon as i plugged my laptop into the router with a cable, everything worked a 100%.
When I switched back to wifi, it went back to the previous crappy state.
But it seems like I managed to fix this as well, while being connected to Wifi and no cable:
-Go to System preferences
-Network
-On the top of the window, there is a drop down menu for switching "location".
-Select Automatic
And that did the trick for me.. My location was set to something else than "Automatic", some Netflix trickery I've done a long time before updating to Yosemite...
Hope this can help you as well:-)
I'm having the exact same problem. None of the above fixes worked for me unfortunately.
