I have Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but I can't log in the Mac App Store. It only says "An unknown error occurred", it doesn't say any number like "An unknown error occurred (100)" and I can log in the iTunes Store without any problem.
I have tried a lot of things except PCIRootUID=1 because my computer freezes on the apple logo. Help me please!
NOTE: I have a wifi adapter which is detected as an Airport Card. I don't use Ethernet.

First see if your Apple ID works - can this be confirmed on another Mac /hack - you should be able to log into the App store. iTunes is differnet than the App store.
Also Have you tried to connect to the Internet via the hard line port on the motherboard and not use the wireless connection - its reported that some hacks have issues w wifi connections but it works w hard line or cable connected to the router.
Just for Grins - would you please check the option "software update" and allow that to run and report back as to what it says it thinks you need - do not install anything just report.
Also you may want to boot up from the Chimea Boot loader using some startup switchs - I suggest -v and -f so
when you boot to the loader w the TonyMac Icon press the space bar to halt the load and type the following
-v -f
Also we dont have the hardware list for your hack - so if have a sandy bridge cpu then use the PCIroot option, and you should have run update helper
Something usefull about command line switchs one needs to know !

This is from 2008 some of these have changed but it still a good read,
