I'm not sure what's causing your problem but this might be the least anxiety-inducing way to fix it, even if it doesn't really get to the root of the problem.

I find that I cannot get any response when I hit "Get" or, on the Updates page, Free Upgrade. Both Macs have the same resjponse, not just for Yosemite but for using "Get" on any app. Last Spring I succeeded in updating a program I had bought in 2012 through app store.
