Need to download the Apple Store App to my IMAC

I must have deleted the Apple App Store from my early 2009 mac running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  The help I got from the online mac guy was to get a good backup and reinstall all my orginial discs which should then put the Apple App Store back on my computer.  After reinstalling all programs including Snow Leopard and doing all upgrades I am to run a migration assistant to recover my lost data as this will completely wipe out my computer and I will be reinstalling all pics docs and the last 5 years of stuff on my apple Mac.   This seems extreme.  I hope someone knows what I can do to get this one program reloaded on my mac.  I was hoping to upgrade to the new Mountain Lion but I cannot do the download without the Apple App Store application loaded on the computer. 

Try downloading and reinstalling the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  updater. It just may reinstall App Store for you.

  • 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.

  • Using the Apple store App

    I downloaded the Apple store App but can't find the product scanning function. Do I have to be in the store for this to be enabled?

    If you are referring to the Apple Store app from Apple for iOS devices, then you are posting in the wrong ASC forum, this is the Mac App Store forum for Mac apps for Mac computers.
    In the articles that I have read about the new Apple Store app it mentions the in store scanning and purchasing as being for the iPhone 4 and 4S. I have not seen other iOS devices mentioned.

  • HT4461 how to download non-Apple store apps on iMac 10.8

    How to download non-Apple store apps on iMac 10.8. I want to transfer photos from a Samsung Galaxy S4 to the iMac.

    If your Mac is not allowing you to download 3rd party apps that are from a source other than the Mac App Store, it is likely the security setting in System Preferences. Go to Sys Prefs/Security & Privacy/General and set the download options best for you. You will likely find the download options grayed out. You will need to click the padlock below and supply your admin password to unlock the preference pane.

  • Could someone post some screenshots of the Apple store app?

    Would someone with an iPhone/iPod touch please be kind enough to post some screenshots of the Apple Store app.
    I've been googling for some screenshots, but only a limited selection are available and they are not at actual size.
    Here are the screens I need:
    Main front screen
    Product Page (if possible of more than one product)
    Photogallery on a product page
    Information section on a product page
    Category page
    If possible, if the full content of each page could be posted.
    The Apple store app no longer works on my iPod touch, otherwise I could do it myself.
    Thanks for any help that can be offered.
    Or if anyone knows how I can access the Apple store content on a desktop, that would be even better. I still need to see all the content in mobile screen size format, but it might be possible to resize my browser to emulate this?

    Try downloading and reinstalling the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  updater. It just may reinstall App Store for you.

  • Where can I download the Apple Podcast app for my iPad?

    HELP!!! Where can I download the Apple Podcast app for my iPad? I urgently needed space to snap some photos, so I quickly deleted several low priority apps to make space.  One of those was the apple Podcast app which I now can't find anywhere.

    There is no Podcasts app that "comes with" the iPad. It is made by Apple but you have to download it. See if this direct link works:

  • 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.

    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.

  • HT5858 how do i download the apple store icon to my i phone 4s

    Somehow, I deleted the Apple Store app from my iPhone 4s and don't know how to download it back to my phone. How do you retrieve this app again?

    The App Store icon cannot be removed. It can be moved to another screen or restricted. Look on other screens, try a search for it, as a last resort, go to settings, reset, reset home screen layout.

  • Why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

    I live in Canada, why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

    Because this is what Apple decided to do.
    We have no way of knowing why Apple makes the decisions that they do and speculating is a violation of the terms of use of this forum.
