App store replaced by a ? Why? 09/11/12 6:45 est

OSX mountain lion

Drag the ? mark icon up and off the Dock.
Then drag the App Store icon from the Applications folder 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.
If can't locate the App Store app, you can reinstall the App Store by installing the Installing the  OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo)
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. Ok to do this even though your Mac is already running v10.7.4.
There should be a new App Store icon in the Dock after you restart.

    There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

  • I have installed the latest OS X Updaate 10.8.4 - several times on my iMac, with restarts, but it won't disappear from my App Store update list.  Why?

    I have installed the latest OS X Updaate 10.8.4 - several times on my iMac, with restarts, but it won't disappear from my App Store update list.  Why?   ..and how do I get rid of it?

    I had a similar problem with trying to update using the App Store, and being told that the software was "installed" yet I was still only running 10.8.3.
    The App Store was continually saying the 10.8.4 was available but with many tries I still could not download or install it.
    And there are a few links to the OSX 10.8.4 (Combo) update that actually lead to a "Cant find this page error" on the Apple site and the App Store.
    I did find a link to just the vanilla flavoured OSX 10.8.4 update here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1658 which is a smaller download of 359mb rather than 849mb with the combo update.
    The simple OSX 10.8.4 update downloaded fine with Safari and I installed it with no problems from the finder. A few opening's on closing's of the App Store app made the update flag finally disappear.
    I have since come back here to report this and then found the link to 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo) at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659 above and found that this link also starts to download the update through Safari and while I decided that I no longer needed it, I would presume that it would still install fine from the finder like the OSX 10.8.4 update did.
    So it seems to me that there is a problem with (maybe occasionally) updating from the App Store, but if you download from either of the two "hard" links above and install from the finder it should be fine.

  • My app store is not working why?, my app store is not working why?

    hy
               i want to now why i my itunes and app store is not working?and how can i send data from laptop to my iphone4?
               one more thing is that why safari cannot download any thing from web?

    Not sure what you mean by "not working" so without further information it's difficult to make a suggestion. As a shot in the dark.....
    Sign out of your ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store, restart the iPad and sign in again.
    Or ....You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • Keynote in Mac App Store replaces Keynote 09?

    Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question: in the new Mac App Store you can buy what looks like Keynote 11 as a stand-alone application. Am I correct in thinking that the bundled iWork 09 in 'old' Apple web store, is now an older version and that if I want the latest software, I should buy one or all three of Pages, Numbers and/or Keynote from the Mac App Store?
    Many thanks.

    Hmm, sorry, I think I've answered my own question. Just re-read the descriptions in the App Store and it says all of these 3 are still version '09. I guess Apple has just made it easier (and a bit cheaper) to buy them individually online rather than via a CD and box.
    I'd heard a rumour that iWork '11 was due early this year so thought these apps might be the new versions, but I guess I have to keep waiting!

  • Already updated to 10.7.4, app store still shows update, why?

    Just updated to 10.7.4, yet app store in dock still shows the 10.7.4 update as being needed, is there a way to just make the little red "1" go away?

    more likely to get an answer in Lion or App Store support forum.
    Someone said it was a known bug though not that long ago.
    So if you need to redownload it is a simple procedure to do so.

  • App store won't open - why?  new apps won't sync

    Suddenly my app store app asks to update, I try to update and get blank screen.  Apps I have recetly bought show up on my laptop - but won't sync to my iPhone.
    Any tips?  thanks

    If someone else puts their paws on your phone, make sure they did not enable App Store restrictions on you. Settings / General / Restrictions

  • I have had my iPhone 4 for more than 2 months now, and suddenly it won't connect to the App Store or iTunes. Why?

    I have updated it to. iOS 6.1.3 but it still will not connect. I cannot log into my iTunes account on it either. Why? Thanks for reading

    For anyone who had the same problem, I fixed it by setting my time and date back to automatic. I heard that some people solved in different way for their phones. Try different things it will eventually work. Thanks

  • Why does it say instal next to the apps I have deleted in the app store and is there any way to make them go away with out a computer

         .

    The app store lists the app as "Install" rather than with a price to indicate that you can download it again without charge if you change your mind.  It is not possible to make something in the app store go away.  Why do you want to?

  • Why can't  i purchase apps for my iPad?  Theres no App Store on iPad.

  • Why the mac app store(Germany) doesn't sell a lot of popular Games? (For example: GTA San Andreas, or Call of Duty 4) ?

    Here in the mac app store in Germany I bought me the Game GTA Vice City then i saw in the Internet that the app store has got the Game GTA San Andras but not for the app store in Germany. Why ?

    Apple sells the apps in the stores that the developers wish to have them sold. This developer perhaps does not want to sell this app in Germany at this time.

  • Can sign in with Apple ID, but can't connect to App Store for updates

    My wife just received her new iPad on Friday. When she went to update the apps that indicated they needed to be updated, she was able to sign in with her Apple ID. However, after a few seconds of processing the message appears that her iPad was unable to connect to the App store. (She was connected to the internet through WiFi). The next day at the Apple Store, the same thing happened as well as to other users, including those at the Genius Bar so we are not alone. Any insights? We thought that by the end of the weekend the issue may have been resolved (high traffic / server overload???) but still locked out of the App store.

    OK so here is what seems to be the problem -- Apps and under which account they were purchased / downloaded. My wife had downloaded a slew of apps under my Apple ID in the past, so when she attempted to sign in with her Apple ID there is now a conflict (this was not an issue before iOS 5.1 or so it seems). This simple fact totally prevents access to the App Store. This explains why my iPhone could connect to the App Store (it only has apps downloaded with my Apple ID) and hers could not.
    So we sat down and made a list of all of the apps on her iPhone and iPad (the ones she wanted to keep), then went into iTunes and clicked on APPS (under Library in the left column). Once you are in there, a list of apps installed appears. Right click (option-click) on each app icon to GET INFO -- this displays which Apple ID account was used to download that particular app. (Thanks Rysz)
    Thankfully all of the apps that were causing the conflict were free, so it was simply a matter of deleting these particular apps off of iTunes (on her iMac -- right click to delete) as well as her iPhone and iPad. Then all you need to do is re-download them when she is signed back into the App Store with her Apple ID.
    After I deleted all of the apps, I again tried to sign in to the App Store to re-download the apps she wanted to replace. But I was still getting the dreaded error message stating "Can't Connect to App Store". So on her iPhone I went to Settings and reset the network connection, signed back in to our Airport WiFi network. Tried again, no luck. Signed out of the App store and re-signed in, and glory hallelujah -- I was now able to access the App Store and start the download process for both the iPad and iPhone (thanks Thom_D for the suggestion).
    Once everything was back to normal, plugged each device in separately to her iMac and resynced in iTunes. Knock on wood, I think it is now working like before.
    Hope this helps a fellow user out there.
