App store login problem in OS X 10.8.5 on VirtualBox

I am having a weird issue with app store login on OS X 10.8.5 running on VirtualBox - I cannot enter my password in app store. There is no error or anything, simply nothing happens when I enter the password to download an app or to view the account info. I am able to get signed into the app store by associating apple ID with the computer's account. So the app store shows me signed in, but when I try to download anything, I need to re-enter apple ID/password again in the app store, and the above problem happens then. Also, I _can_ login to iTunes and do anything from within iTunes like enter the password, check the account, and so on, without any problems. 


 


I tried installing iAtkos or Olarila distors for OS X 10.8.5, I have the same issue in both distros.


 


I tried all the fixes on the internet such as I added EFI string to org.chameleon.boot using EFI Studio. I removed and re-added network interface and made sure it is BuiltIn, Active, and en0. I changed serial number, computer make, year, so on in smbios.plist with Chameleon Wizard. Nothing worked. Actually I am not sure these fixes and the problem I have are related.


 


I run hackintosh on VirtualBox with OS X 10.8 standard config and emulated Ethernet card, however the host box connects to local network via wifi, and the local network itself is in a university, so it is on a local IP block, behind firewall and all that. I don't know if these of any potential to contribute to the app store login failures. Also I am physically located in Turkey. I tried using apple ID's created with US or Turkey address, with and without credit card, and tried to access both US and Turkey app store. Obviously none of these helped either. 


 


Please help. What can I do to troubleshoot these login problems, or what alternatives I can use for mac app store, or can I circumvent the second login during the purchases in mac app store somehow?


 

Thanks
