I think my mac OS X needs some updates before practically usable, in particular the network protocol it is using, I think is outdated. For example, I cannot go to most websites that use https, including apple.com. However, I got stuck because I cannot even connect to the App Store (maybe due to the outdated code). I am using mac OS X 10.6.8 on Core 2 dual machine.
Is there any alternate method to do update?
Please help. Thank you.
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Connecting to App Store Problems
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Also try the Safe Mode.

@chris_g1, thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, I still cannot solve the problem.
For the first link (If you can't connect to the iTunes Store, iBooks Store, or App Store - Apple Support), I followed the steps:
Step 1. Check your connection - as mentioned, my connection should be ok as I can still be able access websites except some using https
Step 2. Check System Status - it says my country (Australia) is fine.
Step 3. Update your account - I think it should NOT due to my account. If so, App Store should at least says something like "invalid password".
Step 4. Update your software - but how can I do that? It is a catch-22.
@Eric Root, thank you for your reply.
I download the patch and run it on my macbook. The patch says it successfully installed but the problem is still there. The same screen "Cannot Connect to the App Store" appears when I open App Store.
@Eric Root, the problem disappears when I use another account. Although I still don't know what wrong is my old account, I am satisfied with the solution. Thank you very much for your time and valuable advice.
Thank all others who took their time to care about my problem.
You are welcome.
