I quit iTunes and App Store, then opened Activity Monitor. I typed "Store" without quotation marks into the search field, and quit, actually force quit all processes. App Store worked fine after that.

Hi DarkHuntress,



I see that your Mac is having issues with connecting to the Mac App Store. For assistance with this issue I'd like you to please follow through the troubleshooting steps provided in the link below.


If you can't connect to the iTunes Store on your computer, a software conflict or your Internet service provider (ISP) might be blocking your access. The steps below might help you fix the issue.

If there's still an issue after you try the steps above, contact your Internet service provider and confirm that these ports and servers are turned on for your network.

I have this same problem with the App Store, but I'm not finding any answers.

The Keychain First Aid tool no longer seems to exist. Apple's marked that page as "archived" and no longer updated, and the Keychain Access utility doesn't seem to offer any similar feature. Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains https://support.apple.com/kb/PH7296?locale=en_US


I do not believe a firewall is my issue, but I will investigate that further. (This is my work machine. Nothing else is being affected by firewall issues.)


Looking for other things to try.....
