MP 1,1-5,1 "Cannot Connect to the App Store"

Can iTunes connect to the iTunes Store, can you log in to iCloud.com in Safari?
If not, the system security certificate for Apple's sites has expired, it happened to High Sierra a couple of years ago.
Appreciate your reply.
Error from iTunes=
iTunes can't verify identity of server "s.mzstatic.com"
The certificate for this serve is invalid.
I can log into iCloud.com from Safari.
Does this mean I cannot download apps like Word from App Store?

I cannot log into iCloud from Safari, "Your browser is not supported"
I can login to iCloud from Firefox.
you can check, if your Mac Pro firmware is missing IDs:

Yup. Classic symptom (at least it was for High Sierra, and presumably Mojave will age out, especially if it's from an old installer). So what you probably need is the CA2-G1 certificate from Apple:
Download it, then open it in Keychain Access, and add it to the Login Keychain.
More discussion (from when this happened to High Sierra folks):

Not with missing IDs.
You should get the 2nd store repaired, but this is not your AppleID problem.
Sometimes it helps, forcing a garbage collection with continuous nvram resets. (Cmd-alt-p-r together until it chimes 4 times altogether).
Tried (Cmd-alt-p-r together until it chimes 4 times altogether), App Store issue remains.
Could it be due to the fact that I'm still running old 1066 Mhz RAM ilo 1333 Mhz RAM. (Only 12 GB of 20GB installed being recognised by system)?
...and did it solve the problem? On High Sierra this was an instant fix. As in, add the security certificate, immediately retry the login and it works.
Issue remains.
Issue also with iTunes server link, cannot reinstall iTunes as cannot access App Store. Going to try reinstalling Mojave.
Make sure you get a new installer, if your current one isn't a fresh download.
try this as a start:

The reason I'm suggesting this is because High Sierra now comes with a valid certificate, so fresh installs don't have the problem of an out of date certificate error. If this is actually the problem that your (possibly older) Majoave installer has aged in to, a new installer should fix it, provided Apple are aware of the problem.
And the reason Firefox works where Safari wouldn't for iCloud.com login, is that Firefox doesn't use the system-native security certificate.
Downloaded your ROM Dump. Where is the new .bin file to use with Flash? Idiots guide please.
I just need to locate the modified .bin file when the Flash option requests it in you Rom Dump tool. Is this created before using the tool or is it created by the tool. Your video shows its location as on the Desktop, I cannot see it
Watch the 2nd video. The Dumper does not modify a single bit of the Mac Firmware. It also do not create a firmware, out of the blue. Every firmware is unique and contains various IDs of the particular machine.
It is a tool to backup, diagnose and (for MP4,1 and 5,1) to flash the firmware.
Also there are some tools in, mainly around MacOs and ESPs, I did and find useful to combine them with the Dumper.
Modifications are made by the users, or other people with the proper knowledge.
