App store is damaged or incomplete how can i repair or download new version?

if i try to open the app store for mac i get a message that te program is damaged or incomplete. the way to download the app store is to upgrade to a version of osx a few months ago.. the problem is that my software is up to date but it is impossible to downgrade so that i can get the app store again. i cant find any downloads on the website.. what should i do?

Try downloading the combo update of Mac OS X 10.6.8 then install it, http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399

Recently did an update, and a restart, now iphoto gives me this error message when I try to open it You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete' how can I 'repair' or replace missing files?? Thanks!!

I have an imac with snow leopard and really wish there was a how to database in the computer for this !!! I still love this computer tho. Thanks in advance for any help!!

iphoto its pictures are still on your computer under the pictures folder.. it will be one file that says iphoto library. Its a separate file from the actual program.
If you still have the disks that came with your unit they have the ilife applications on them. put the disk in your drive that says mac os x applications dvd. it will auto mount and there should be a folder called bundled software open this and there should be a .pkg file to reinstall the ilife suite which includes imovie iphoto iweb idvd and garageband . After installing don't forget before runnig the program run software updates to download the any fixes
if you r unit has disks labeled disk one and disk 2.. you need to boot off of disk one and choose install bundled software.
I believe there is a KB article through apple.com/support

Another way is to open your Time Machine back up or clone (if you have one) and copy the App Store app from the /Applications to your Macintosh HD's /Application folder.
Right click on the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar.
Select Enter Time Machine; then navigate to a date you know it was still there and copy if from the /Applications folder.

Install the v10.6.7 combo update.

Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.

The Apple ID for future purchases is in Settings>Store>Apple ID. However, apps have to be updated using the Apple ID used to originally purchase them. This can't be changed. If the App store is asking you to provide a password for a different Apple ID when you are updating apps, it's because this ID was used to purchase it originally.

When I try to open a spreadsheet on my Mac that I worked on with my iPhone, I get "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." When I go to the App store, it says I already have it. I have v. 2.3 and can't seem to download newer version

If you are running Mavericks, and the Mac App store says you are up to date, then you have Numbers 3.2 as well as Numbers 2.3. You are getting the "Need a newer version message because your Mac is trying to open the document using Numbers 2.3.
Launch Numbers 3, then open the document from within that app, or right click/control-click the document and choose Open with Numbers 3.x.

I have App Store 1.0. MacUpdate Desktop tells me there is a new version 1.0.1. How do I update App Store. MU only takes me directly to App Store. Not much help there, as I don't find how to update the App Store itself. Please write me at guki@broadpark.no

Thank you for your advice.
Actually, I am aware that the upgrade is implemented in 10.6.7. However, up until now I haven't been able to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.7, as I have software that is not yet compatible. So I wondered how to do it within 10.6.6? May be it is not possible? Anyway, this gave me a push to track the software I use for compatibility, and I found that an update for 10.6.7 now is ready for download, so then I will probably solve two issues at the same time. Takes a little work though. Thank you again for your advice.

Important you follow the directions here:

The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so its important that all of your data be on your computer before you attempt to update.

I can't open the application App Store on my iMac. How can I fix this?

Here is the error message I keep getting.

You can reinstall the App Store by downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed, then try the App Store.

App Store is "Damaged or Incomplete"? Running on v.10.8.2

I cannot open App Store because it is "damaged or incomplete". I've tried a few of the combo updates, but they say I need an earlier version to run... help?

First thing to try is to open up System Preferences -> Security and Privacy and set the allowed apps to Everywhere. This probably isn't the problem but its worth a shot.
If this doesn't work, you can also try repairing your disk permissions, by clicking Spotlight -> Disk Utility. You can then select Macintosh HD, and choose Repair Disk Permissions. Again, this probably isn't your problem but it won't hurt to try.
The last thing you can do is re-install OS X ontop of your current installation. This shouldn't delete any of your data (though you may want to make a backup first). You can do this by shutting down the computer, and holding Command+R when you start it up (at the chime). You will boot up into the recovery partition, where you will have the option to install OS X. Again, this shouldn't delete data.

I purchased my iPad in Korea, and while almost everything is in English, my App Store is in Hangul, how can I change it to be in English?

My iTunes was setup in the states, and is setup with a US credit card. I did use my iPad in Korea, but I've been back in the states for almost 4months now, and my App Store is still in Hangul. I've tried changing the language in the international setting in the settings, but I'm not having any luck.

Signed up for free software download of Lion, I got the code to redeem it on the App Store but lost the code, how can I retrieve it to get the software update for free?

I bought my new Macbook on July 23, so that qualified me for the free Lion software update. I entered in all my info and then accidently clicked out of the screen before I wrote down the code to redeem it. I tried to do it again but of course it said my system had already been issued a redeem code. Is there a way I can get it back so I can get the update for free?
