App Store Missing After Restore of 10.6.8
Hello everyone. I recently did a Time Machine backup from a point just before I replaced my hard drive and re-installed the OS, etc. The MacBook Pro was at 10.6.8 when I did the restore...and most everything looks fine (so far) with one obvious exception: The App Store dock icon was showing a question mark. When I looked in Applications, sure enough...it wasn't there any longer.
I did some reading and tried installing the 10.6.8 Update Combo...but still no luck. I'd like to get this working so I can download Lion and install it on the machine. I just got a Mac-mini that's running Lion and it appears I need to get this MacBook Pro on Lion before I can create a Time Machine backup that I can then restore onto the new computer. That will save me a lot of manual moving/installing, not to mention that I'd just like to have the App Store back on the MacBook Pro.
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Manually download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo, it is a safe install over your existing version and may fill in any blanks that are there.

Photo Booth app still missing after restore!
I have an IPad and the Photo Booth app is missing completely. It's not in spotlight, nothing is restricted and even tried a full restore and still nothing...... Any assistance would be great!
I do have a camera on the front, so what accesses that function? I thought that's where photo bohoth would come into play? Also is FaceTime only on the 2nd gen as well, because that app is not appearing?

HT4623 App store missing after IOS7 update
I update my iPad 3 to IOS7 using itunes. None of my apps were retained during the update. Only 14 of the standard Apple apps loaded. The app store app did not load, so I have no way to add apps. Itunes will not let me restore It requesting to turn on "find my iPad" under iCloud, which is already turned on.Please help.

App Store failure after restore
My HDD crashed, I restored it from Time Capsule. Now App Store does not work. Any hints? Thanks, Aaron
Install the Mac OS X Update Combo and perhaps it will fill in the gaps and fix any corruption that has been caused by your backup and restore scheme.

Mac App store broken after restoring Lion
Here is what I did:
I deleted all the data on my harddrive, and reinstalled lion using built-in internet recovery.
The problem:
The Mac app store is extremely slowly - to the point of non-responsive.
It won't let me install any of my applications. Clicking on the "install" button next to an item in the "purchased" section does nothing.
I have already confirmed by billing information.
There are no error messages. It just doesn't respond. It takes ages for any screen to load. It doens't make much sense - my internet connection works fine, as I can browse websites in safari without any problem.
What do I need to do to fix this? Right now there is no other software installed except the default that Lion installs.
Thanks.
EDIT: iTunes seems messed up too. When I click on "purchased" in the apps section, all I get is a blank white screen.www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account

Shortcut to App Store missing I-phone4 how do I get it reinstalled
shortcut to App Store missing on my home screen for I-phone4 how do I get it reinstalled?
The App Store can't be deleted, it's still on your phone somewhere thought it might be hidde. If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (pull down the centre of the home screen in iOS 7, swipe your first home screen to the right in iOS 6 and below), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the phone has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot. -
Does anyone know how to resolve the problem of apps not being able to download in the App Store? After the IOS 6 update I haven't been able to download any apps.

My Iphone 4S asked me to reset my password for the app store, but after I reset it, it still asked me again as if it were invalid. what to do?
Okay - tried that and it didn't work either. HOWEVER ...
I SEEM TO HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE! If this happens to anyone else, this might help you ...
A while back I had to set up a second apple ID in order to use the iCloud. So now I have two (annoying), and from what I'm reading on forums, this has happened to many people and you still can't merge accounts. But I digress.
Apparently the apps in question were purchased on one apple ID, but the phone had the other apple ID set within the app store. The store, it seems, will only update the apps if you're logged in as the account that initially purchased the apps. So it means going to Settings > Store > Log out, then log back in with the other ID. Annoying. But at least I know, now, what's going on.
The password, it seems, was right all along (since I have the same password for both IDs). Too bad the phone's error message told me the password was incorrect, instead of saying something more useful like "This apple ID is not authorized to update this app." Or ... something like that. Apparently I've been chasing down the wrong solution due to the wrong error message being given. -
I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps. Does anyone know what is happening here? Even updating an older game app resulted in the original game icon changing to the new identical icon that all new apps are appearing with. This new icon is like a page with a ruler, pencil and paintbrush. Any tips on how to stop this or how to revert to the icon as it appears on the app store would be appreciated.

Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading
Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading -- this means I can't get to the store
i have resolved the issue.
I had to close down the App Store, re-open it, and in the purchases tab the error disappeared and the option to resume the download was there again. However, I have spent the last 3 days opening and closing the program, restarting my computer. There is obviously a problem with this because there are other users who've had the same issue. Its frustrating because Apple has already taken my $20. I could have easily gone to a store to buy it if I could. -

If they were in your camera roll when you lasted backed up your phone, restoring the backup should recover them.

How to get a refund for app store purchases after 90 days
Is it possible to recieve a refund for App store purchases after 90 days have passed. In my case I purchased several apps by the same developer which cost around £10 in total, but due to a recent update they are now unusable and lead to frustration as they are impossible to use. The initial purchase was longer than 90 days ago, however the most recent update that has lead to the faulty item was probably within the last 90 days.
many thanks.Click Contact Us at the bottom of this page and contact iTunes support and ask.
In general, all sales are final. -
The "app store" did not restore on my new 4s.
Yesterday I got a new "replacement" iphone 4s. Left the Apple store prematurely before I realized the "App store" had not restored to the new phone. I was able to update to 7.0.4 yesterday. However, no app store can be found. How can I get it on my phone without going back to the Apple store?
The App store is a native iOS app. It cannot be deleted. Check in all of the folders on your device. You can also do a search and see where it is on the device. Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If that doesn't do it, then go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you have Restrictions turned on. If you still cannot locate it, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
