MacOS 10.09 Mavericks >>>
Cannot Access App Store / App Store Access Very Slow
When ever I launched App Store and went to the Updates page i got the message “Cannot Connect to App Store”, I also got this error when trying to access Purchases but Featured,Top Charts and Categories all appeared to work OK. I tried several times and even restarted my server, but nothing made any difference. My MacBook Pro could connect without anyissues so I was pretty certain that the problem was with my iMac.
For reference the issue occurred
| • | Server: | iMac 27-inch, Late 2013 |
| • | OS Version: | 10.9.3 |
| • | OSX Server Veresion: | 3.1.2 |
After trying numerous fixes that I found online, this is the only fix that worked for me
- Quit the Mac App Store (Command + Option + Q)
- Open Keychain Access from Applications ☞ Utilities
- Go to Keychain Access ☞ Preferences ☞ Certificates
- Set 'Certificate Revocation List (CRL)' tp 'Off'; as shown below
- Quit Keychain Access (Command + Option + Q)
- Relaunch Mac App Store and test
Updated Information
Whilst this worked yesterday and got everything working, it does not appear to be a permant fix as it has failed again today and this configuration change is still active.
