App Store icons at top Not Active
After updating my 15 inch mac Book Pro mid 2009, the app store icons at the top of the window are inactive. I can still 'tab' between the different sections with command-1,command-2. The icons are grayed out like the window is not selected, however all the other window controls and content are active. Puzzeled on this one.

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.

I am using ipad , my desktop do not have App Store icon, how can I got it, I can not brows App Store, I can not download free software
You cannot delete the App Store or any of the pre installed apps. It is on your iPad somewhere, but it may be hidden.
Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable installing apps.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.

How do you remove the "purchased" items in the "not on this iPhone" tab in the app store icon?
I want to permanently remove old deleted apps from the "purchased" list in the update section of the app store icon on my iPhone. These are apps that I tried and didn't like or didn't work or were useless or whatever. There does not seem to be any logical reason to keep a record or history of them around since they would not have been deleted if I still wanted them. This is a waste of resources on the iPhone, iTunes and my efforts.
"I want to permanently remove old deleted apps from the "purchased" list in the update section of the app store icon on my iPhone."
You cannot.
"There does not seem to be any logical reason to keep a record or history of them around since they would not have been deleted if I still wanted them." it does not need to be logical to you for it to make sense.
It is a history of ALL purchases.
People would be complaining that they mistakenly deleted it and now could never get their app back. The entire point is to have access to any and all past purchases.
Maybe when the final product is released you will get your wish. -
I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1. The apps I had previously installed are not showing on the screen. They are located in App Store icon. How do I move the icons so they are showing on the screen.
You can move apps around in iOS 7 the same as iOS 6. Press an app icon until you see it wiggle; then drag it to where ever you want it to be. Drag it onto another app to create a folder with the two apps. Tap the Home button to stop the wiggle.

I accidentally deleted my app store icon. How do i get it back? I've tried syncing to my computer, but that's not working.

will it change anything?
Yes. It will reset your Home screen layouts.
If the App store is hidden by Restrictions, it will not be enabled by Reset Home screen layout.
You need to re-enable Installing Apps in General > Restrictions. -
My app store icon is not working. Went to Mac page of Apple store to find a new download for it and the process didn't work. No new downloads found.
Any ideas ?Hi James...
The only way to reinstall the App Store is by downloadiing and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Restart your Mac after the update is installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8. -
Since recent update came through my app store icon has changed and no longer works.
The message that comes up reads - "App store quit unexpectedly" - and has rows of coding messages below it.
One message states
"Application Specific Information:
abort() called
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSImageCacheException', reason: 'Cannot lock focus on image <NSImage 0x100393170 Size={0, 0} Reps=(
)>, because it is size zero.'
*** Call stack at first throw:"
Looking at other reports from mac forums I believe the problem happened when I updated from OS X 10.6.6.
I downloaded the 10.6.6 Combo package and tried to install but a message comes up stating I cannot update to an earlier system as I am now on 10.6.8
Any suggestions. I am not a techie person and dont want to reboot using start up disks as I may lose everything I have on laptop.
Also, do I need to have the app store working to purchase the new Lion OS.
I tried the suggestion of installing the 10.6.8 combo pack but still doesnt workTry this...
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. (it has a small house icon) then open the Library folder then the Caches folder then the com.apple.appstore folder.
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
Try the App Store.

I am using iPhone 4, and I had about 50 apps needed to be updated, which is stated in the App Store icon. I have not had time to update them until today. However, when I was ready to update all the apps, I found out that there was not any apps in the App Store icon needed to be update. Does anyone knows why? Please help. Thank you very much!
This morning I had the same issue - even though I have pending updates, the app store badge is gone and it says all apps are up to date. I, like many others I'm sure, selectively update apps based on reviews. I'm sure there is either an app store refresh/update on Apple's end or a run on the app store causing errors or issues.

I'm having this problem. It started yesterday. I have 2 updates, but when I open the App Store, they won't appear.
Do you have apps purchased with a differnt AppleID?
For example, mine shows 12 updates but only 2 show up as being available.
The others are on my daughters account.
I log out of my iTunes account and log in with hers and those updates show up. -
I do not have the app store icon on my Ipad? Please help
Hello,
I recently did the new download on my daughter's Ipad 2 and the App store icon is missing. I can't download any games for her and unfortunately I'm not really proficient in Apple products.... can anyone help me please?
Thank youIf you have not set any restrictions:

Can not get App Store icon my Ipad front display
Thanks for your support,
till i can not find out the App Store icon in my ipad home screen,
Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable installing apps.
i check it On,
if i want to enter then need to enter passcode, but i do not know the passcode.
please give me a solution.
then i try by Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
this ok, but in my ipad no icon for Apps Store.
awaiting your confirmation reply.I don't think you understand. You only needed to check restrictions in case you had been using restrictions. If you we're not using restrictions, then you could not have disabled installing of apps. There is no need to turn it on, IF it was turned on and you were not using it.
If you were not using restrictions and you reset the home screen layout, and neither of those worked for you, something is wrong. What you are saying doesn't make sense. -
App Store icon not on 1st generation iPod
My son's friend just got the first gen 8GB iPod touch. He doesn't have the App Store icon on his iPod touch. I know you have to have 2.0 but my question is shouldn't the touch have come with 2.0 on it already? Is it even possible to update the OS on a 1st gen iPod touch to anything 2.0 and up? Thanks.
The first-generation iPod touch would not have come with iOS 2.x, no. The original user would had to purchase and install it. iOS 2.x only was included with the second-generation iPod touches.
Check the OS on the iPod. I'd wager it's 1.x, in which case your son's friend will have to purchase the update to iOS 3.1 (the 2.x update was removed a long time ago now).
Regards. -
I have lost my camera icon and my app store icon. I have tried to reset the iPod and even tried to restore factory settings....no luck. Restrictions seems to have been set, but I do not have a pass code. Any suggestions???
I have gone through the router reset for home network, Router reset at work. Restarted my personal hotspot on my iPhone that is running the same IOS.
I have performed the Network settings reset on the iPad.
I have performed a hard reboot on the iPad, (Home button and power button until logo appears)
Also I had to update the Apple driver on my laptop for iTunes to see my iPad after I had updated iTunes, I'm not sure if I lost wifi after I updated the iPad IOS or updating iTunes.
