Mac App Store Login Problem

mac-appstore

Since I upgraded my MacBook to Mountain Lion I have the following problem: in the Mac App Store it's not possible to log in or to buy/download anything. Clicking on log in just doesn't do anything, no error massage. What to do?

Edit: The following error messages are in the log file after trying to download some app:

Best Answer

My first thought is that you can try repair the disk permissions in Disk Utility. Might be a problem with some files.

Do you get the actual login prompt or just nothing happens? Do the content in the store load?
