El Capitan: Cannot Connect to the App Store

I can easily browse the internet on my home macbook with only a few security problems in browsers after El Capitan was installed yesterday, etc... but the App Store is completely broken, message "Cannot Connect to the App Store".


I have considered lowering my security to try and circumvent.


Does anyone know how to repair the App Store?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11), null

Hi there,


Same problem here. I think it could be a ssh problem.

Funnily enough, the OS X El Capitan demo page gave me a security warning.

I have SOLVED this sucker - down and done! I have had this problem for a long time, as a lot of you have.

My solution may be what you are looking for. I followed the steps that have been recommended, to no avail.

What I did was - went into SETTINGS / MOBILE DATA and then there is a list of apps to which you can select in order for mobile data to be used for.

Lo and behold! - the app store application was not selected. I merely turned it on and the problem was solved. I can now enter the app store.

For me it worked after I deactivated their stupid FileVault. Go to settings-> Security & Privacy -> Turn Off FileVault.

After that everything started to work again, AppStore, Safari browsing, etc.

Stupid geeks and their updates, every time a new major update comes out it's full of problems, I would appreciate if they check their **** updates before release to the mass...
