App Store icon on dock

My app store icon has a red #1 in the upper right corner. It appeared yesterday. What does it mean and how can I get rid of it?

Well, if it isn't in the applications folder, maybe your kid deleted it completely. This thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2732272?tstart=0 shows the steps to recover the app store.
Cheers

  • App Store icon in dock not showing available updates

    Hi,
    I've just migrated over to a new iMac (which is lovely) but I'm having trouble with the Mac App Store icon in the Dock.
    Apparently it is meant to show a small red badge when updates are available for applications bought through the store - but I never see them. If I open the App Store, and click on the [Updates] button I can see a number of available updates listed. I can then install them as normal without any problems.
    So there seems to be a minor problem getting the Dock icon to update itself when updates are available.
    Does anyone know the solution? Sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find anything in the KnowledgeBase or by searching here - perhaps I don't know the magic words
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike.

    All of your apps were migrated?
    It is a large file, but you may have a damaged MAS, or may be missing a component to 10.6.7, so the only way to reinstall the MAS and to perhaps fill in any missing pieces to 10.6.7 is to download and manually install the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo. It is safe to install over your current installation of Mac OS X 10.6.7.

  • HT2476 I recently had the hard drive replaced on my Macbook Pro; now the app store icon is missing from my dock

    When my hard drive was replaced by Apple, I had to re-install iTunes myself. Then I noticed that there was a question mark on my dock where the App Store Icon was supposed to be. I did a software update, and now the question mark is gone. How do I get the App Store Icon back on my dock?

    Locate it in the Apps folder and drag it to the dock.

  • App store icon gone missing/Web Content Filter - Apple Configurator

    I am using Apple Configurator to manage the iPads at my school. I changed the settings on my school's profile, within Apple Configurator, so that the App store was not available. The App store icon disappeared and all was good. I decided to change the settings back, to allow the App store, saved the settings and refreshed a group of iPads. The App store icon is still missing and it doesn't appear that my new settings have been applied. I quit Configurator and tried again, but no success. I am running Configurator 1.5 and the ipads are running iOS 7.1.
    Also, I have unchecked the "Allow use of You Tube" button because I want You Tube disabled, but Configurator still allows the use of You Tube through Safari. Is there any way to disable the use of You Tube without using the ridiculous "Web Content Filter", that when activated, limits adult content (good), which seems to include a lot of valuable educational sites (bad)? To me the only other option available seems to be to tick "Specific Websites Only" and spend the next year typing in all the possible sites that might have educational merit, ergo, my use of the word 'ridiculous'. Is there something I am missing?

    Locate it in the Apps folder and drag it to the dock.

  • My 2 year old has deleted my 'apps store' icon and I cannot figure out how to get it back? Doesn't seem to be available in the on-line apps store, ironically enough

    He dragged the icon out of the dock at the bottom and disappeared. That icon is merely a "shortcut" that opens the application when you click on it.
    You still have the app. Open your applications folder and look for the App Store app icon. Click and hold down on the App Store icon and drag the icon down into the dock to replace it. That puts the shortcut back into the dock.

  • How do I get an App store icon for Mac on my dashboard

    how do I get an App store icon for Mac on my dashboard

    Are you on 10.6.8 or Lion? It should have been placed there automatically during the install; otherwise, simply go to your Applications folder and drag the icon to the dock.
    If you're not on one of those OS versions, post back with your version.

  • App Store appears in dock upon login despite removal

    Whenever I startup my MBP The App Store app is on the dock between Safari and Mail but not open. I have never opened it from there and I promptly remove it. When I go to the apple symbol and open it from there after its removal from the dock it will open at the end of the line like normal

    Not sure why you would remove the App Store icon from the Dock.
    If you are having problems launching the App Store, install the v10.6.7 combo update.

    Then restart your Mac. That will place a new App Store icon on the Dock.

  • App Store icon went missing!

    I restored my iPad2 yesterday, and the Apps Store icon was there. Then I synced all the apps, music, books, and  re-arranged the icons through iTunes, placing the App Store icon in the main "dock". But now, the icon went missing...  Any ideas what might have happened? I haven't tried syncing it again...
    Thanks for your replies!  :)

    Duh....... It's kind of embarrasing..... I got it back..... I had placed a restriction on purchasing and deleting Apps (in the General Settings), so that made the icon "disappear"....  Must be the "blonde" in me!!! ;P
    Thanks again for your help! :)

  • Can't find my mac app store icon

    It used to be in my dock.  I searched for it, can't find it.
    Where is it?
    Anybody know what search term I need to find it?

    Go to your Applications folder and drag the App Store icon (not the app) to the Dock.
    Or launch the App Store from the Applications folder then click and hold the new App Store icon in the Dock then click Options > Keep in Dock.

  • I just loaded snow leopard but removed the the mac app store icon from the doc and now I can't find it

    I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I just loaded the snow leapord onto the computer and accidently removed the new mac app store icon from the dock and now I can't find it. I guess I need it to buy Lion. How do I get it back? It's not in the mac HD apps file. Thanks

    Should be in the Applications folder as "App Store", not as "Mac App Store".
    Check first in the Applications folder accessible via that named item in the Dock (also accessible at (hard drive) > Applications).
    If it's not there, it may be in the Applications folder for your user: (hard drive) > Users > youraccountname > Applications.

  • App store icon retreival

    One of my kids was using my mac and thought that the app store icon and the itunes icon were the same. So thinking I didn't need a duplicate on the dock he deleted the app store icon.
    I thought I would find it in the applications folder in finder ---not! So where do I look for it??

    Your 1st post says you’re using Mac OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard, but you posted under OS X 10.5, Leopard. 10.5 doesn’t have access to The App store.

  • Red 1 on App Store icon

    Suddenly I have a 1 in a red dot on my App Store icon on my dock. What is this? How do I remove it? This red dot does not appear on the App Store icon in my apps folder.

    It means you have an update of a purchased app waiting to be downloaded.
    Once you download the badge will go away.
    The badge only appears on the App Store icon in the Dock.
    Kind of like the new message badge on the Mail application in the Dock.

  • App Store icon gone- Won't sync apps

    Moved a few icons around; replaced Mobile Safari on the dock with OmniFocus. Now the App Store icon in nowhere on the iPhone. And the Applications tab/page in iTunes is greyed out. Can't sync or update any apps.
    Did a full restore. Briefly saw functionality but the restore of data caused the same problem.
    Anyone else?

    How many little dots are below the icons on your home screen?
    It's possible when you moved the icons around it slipped onto a new page
