How can I reinstall "The Apple Store" app?

I have MacBook Air 13.3 but the Apple Store suddenly stopped working. I couldn't buy any app with it. Then I uninstalled it with hopes that software update will reinstall it but it didn't come up after several tries.
Any idea will be appreciated.
Thank you!

You will have to reinstall Lion.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HT203253 How can I reinstall The Apple Store App?

    I have MacBook Air 13.3 Mid 2008, suddenly the Apple Store App stopped working properly. It could lunch and display apps in apple store and even accept purchase and installation process but never succeeded. It would kept on loading until I quit it! So I thought if I uninstall and run software update it will come up again, but unfortunately it didn't show up. I have been told to reinstall the system by holding down "Command + R" keys upon restart. I did that severally but it pops up login window instead of the menu list for installation guide.
    Any idea will be appreciated.

  • Why or how can I download the Apple Store App for my windows 8 mobil phone

    I want to download the app for apple store to my windows phone, I find it really  confusing that my computer which supports windows 7 home premium can download apple store app and my phone with the newer windows software cannot,  why and it not why not make sure that it is known before people upgrade or change to the newer phone

    You can't. The Apple Store app is for iOS devices and is not available for Windows Phone, nor can any other iOS app run on your Windows Phone. You'll have to use whatever web browser your phone provides if you want to shop the Apple Store.  And no, there is no Apple Store app for Windows on a computer either. Perhaps you're thinking of iTunes and the iTunes Store?
    Regards.

  • Can i use the Apple store App without providing Bank or credit card details! all i want is free apps why do i have to give my details if im not going to spend money? can anyone help

    Do i have you submit my bank details to download a free App of the store??? someone please help

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • How can i remove the apple watch app

    this is yet another app i will never use, how can i remove it?

    You can't remove it because the app is part of the system update and any app that is part of the software cannot be removed.
    You can only hide it in a folder so that you can't see it.

  • Is there any limitation on how many apps a developer can upload to the apple store?

    Hi ,
    I am planning to sell the same app to several customer ( clothing shop owners ) and I wonder if there is any kind of limitation on the number of apps a developer can upload to the apple store.
    Do you think there will be any problem because the app is the same? ....note: The apps is almost the same but it getsdifferent info ( products, prices...etc ) from the server part.
    Thanks in advance.

    Do you Know INDITEX ( it is a company holding form by several brands : Zara, Uterque, Zara Home...etc all has its own iOS app working with the same functionality: See company, choose products , find stores. Same as mine.
    I will upload apps for small business , same skeleton and functionality but different details, pictures, logos...etc which change. Every of my clients should have the right to have its own store on appleStore , shouldn´t they? It makes sense to me...It may not make it to Apple. 
    Thanks

  • I can't figure out how to use my Apple Store gift card in the Apple store app

    I received and Apple store gift card (not iTunes gift card) and loaded it into passbook. When I use the Apple store app on my iPad, I don't see an option to use the Apple store gift card as a payment option. Any suggestions?

  • I have some apps on my iPad that were installed using an old apple ID. They can't be updated because the old ID is no longer valid. How can I change the apple ID associated with these apps?

    I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.

    If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
    You can verify  the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
    Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

  • HT1338 How can I reinstall the app?

    An application didn't install completely and I can't remove that app so I can't reinstall it. How can I reinstall the app?
    A dialog came up saying I have to send the app to the wastebasket before reinstalling it. But when I tried that it gave me an error code 8062. I couldn't find any info on error on 8062 nor could I find anything to correct it. It appears I'm at catch 22. The app is Easy Password Storage.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thank you.

    Howdy alegarfer97,
    In order to reinstall the applications that are installed as part of the system, you'll need to reinstall OS X. While the article linked below is written for OS X Mavericks (10.9), the steps are the same for Lion (10.7) through Yosemite (10.10).

  • How can I reinstall the YouTube app?

    How can I reinstall the YouTube app?

    Thanks dave
      This is a mystery. Both YouTube apps have different icons so they're not duplicates.
    One is a picture of an old fashioned television and the other is the YouTube logo.
    The old fashioned TV was able to be disabled in the ipod settings so that must be the one that belongs.
    I'm pretty sure the other one also came with the unit.
    Maybe I should start a thread?
