App Store wiped off my computer! What do I do?
App Store keeps saying closed unexpectedly and I can't find it anywhere in the Finder! Seems like it's completely wiped off my computer, what do I do?
Download the large Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo and install it over your current installation. It is safe to do.

I have accidently deleted the App store icon off my home page, how do I get it back do I nave to re download??
Swipe through your screens and swipe to the left of your Home screen. Type in App Store in the search field. It's a permanent pre installed Apple app so it can't be deleted.
If you can't locate it on the iPad for some reason, connect the device to your computer. Right or control click the iPad under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click: Restore from backup -
When i try to buy mountain lion it says app store error (100) try later what should i do
when i try to buy mountain lion it says app store error (100) try later what should i do
Try here first > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
If that doesn't help, try the following:
Disable anti virus software.
Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall
If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
com.apple.storeagent.pllist
Now here:
~/Library/Cookies
Click Go
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, try the App Store. -

Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors
http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/best-fixes-for-cannot-connect-to-itunes- store-errors/
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?
I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

How do I find in the "Mac App Store" the authorize --my computer to do an upgrade on the newest imovie in Maverick? MacBook Pro 15' 10.9.2. Thank you!
He shouldn't have done that. Now you have a pirated version of iMovie on your Mac that you will never be able to update. The MAS Terms of Use do not allow that type of sharing. His Apple ID is encoded in the copy on your Mac and you can't change that.
Legally you should delete the app.
Your Mac should have come with the iLife apps pre-installed, why did he do that? -

What version of OS X do you have? Messages requires 10.8. Previously it was iChat (but does not have iMessage capability to send texts to an iOS device).

Hi my daughter managed some how to delete the app store icon from my home screen and I cannot seem to be able to find it can anyone help
The App Store app cannot be deleted (it also can't be downloaded and isn't part of any backup, so ignore the other comment) so either she moved it to another home screen, dropped it into a folder, or turn off "Installing Apps" in the General/Restrictions settings.
If you check Restrictions and Installing Apps is turned on and you can't find the App Store app otherwise, you can go to the General/Reset area and reset the Home Screen Layout. That should get it back.

App Store and 10.6.8 - What a Mess
I know this appears in many discussions in this area, but I have searched the web and tried everything I could find to no avail. I will note what I have done below, so if anyone has anymore ideas that have worked, I would appreciate the lead. Hopefully, Apple will be working to fix this in 10.6.8, as I am seeing the same problem all over the web.
I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro. My intention was to dload Lion, excited to install the new OS. I launch the App Store, and it launches fine. I go to purchase and dload Lion, and it just sits and spins. Nothing ever is purchased or dloaded. I check the "Purchased" applications in the store, and it indicates I have not purchased anything yet. Out of curiosity, I try to dload another app, a free one, from the App Store, and I get the same thing. This is an App Store problem generally, not specifically related to the purchase and dload of Lion. Based on ideas from the web, I have tried the following (none of these have worked at all - problem still exists exactly the same):
1. Dloaded the 10.6.8 Combo updater. Installed. Rebooted. Didn't work.
2. Deleted the App Store application. Rebooted. Installed 10.6.8 Combo updater. Robooted. App Store launches - still same problem.
3. Edited my apple.com.Boot.plist in Libarary/Preferences/SystemConfiguration as suggested online - also deleted the NetworkInterfaces.plist (in the same folder). Rebooted. Started the App Store. App Store launches - still the same problem.
4. Logged into the App Store with a few different usernames (even created a new one). Still same problem.
5. Logged into the App Store and re-verified my security code on my credit card (on all of my iTunes accounts). Still same problem.
6. Started iTunes and made sure I was logged out of the account I am trying to purchase with in the App Store. Lauch App Store with that username and try to purchase. Still the same problem.
7. Started iTunes and logged into the account I am trying to use on the App Store. In iTunes, re-verified my security code on my credit card there. Logged out of the account in iTunes. Lauched the App Store using this account. Still same problem.
8. I did successfully purchase, dload, and install Lion on my Mac Pro at work. I have logged into the App Store from my MacBook Pro using this same account. When I go into Purchased, it does show there with an "Intall" button adjacent. When I click the "Install" button, I basically get the same reaction. The App Store sits and spins, but nothing is dloaded or installed.
Again, I know there are a lot of posts on this issue. However, the summary items above is a list of ideas I have found on the web. Each item comes from suggestions I have found on the web. I have tried each to no avail at all. I have rebooted diligently as system changes have taken place. The App Store launches fine. The store basically just spins and no purchase or dload occurs.
P.S. When I go into the Console under Utilities, I do get an error message over and over from the App Store. It is the following:
7/25/11 8:52:09 AM [0x0-0x29029].com.apple.appstore[337] Mon Jul 25 08:52:09 MacBookPro.local App Store[337] <Error>: CGBitmapContextGetBitsPerComponent: invalid context 0x101b86680
7/25/11 8:52:09 AM [0x0-0x29029].com.apple.appstore[337] This isn't a bitmap context. Forcing destination format to ARGB_8 for CGContext.
7/25/11 8:52:09 AM App Store[337] CGBitmapContextGetBitsPerComponent: invalid context 0x101b86680
I have searched this error online and tried a few suggestions. However, I still receive the same error in the Console and the App Store behaves the same.Actually, your suggestion is one of the first I tried. I created a brand new user account using my wife's email. It had the same problem.
However, if anyone has the exact same issue as mine (e.g. you have installed it elsewhere successfully), it looks like I have sucessfully worked around it. Here is what I did (am doing):
1. On the computer where I successfully accessed the App Store, dloaded and installed Lion, I logged back into the App Store with a different username. From there, I re-purchased Lion (which I am fine with, as it is not overly expensive and I will be running the OS on two different computers).
2. Lion successfully downloaded
3. Lion will then try to begin installation - which you won't want to do (at least I didn't as I already having running on this machine)
4. The Lion installer will show on your dock. If you right click it, you will be able to select Open in Finder. When finder opens, I moved the "Install Mac OS X Lion" application to my desktop (just easier for me to find)
5. Next I used Toast (or any other CD/DVD burning program) to burn the "Install Mac OS X Lion" application to a DVD. You will need to use a DVD as it is about 3.5 GB.
6. Once complete, I put the DVD into my MacBook Pro and copies the "Install Mac OS X Lion" application to the desktop of my MacBook Pro (remember, this the computer I could not access the App Store from)
7. Once the application is copied to the desktop, simply double-click it and it will begin the install. From there, just follow the instructions on the screen.
A bit convoluted - and I'm sure there are more efficient steps to do this. I just wanted to outline how I did it. In any event, I am now running Lion on my MacBook Pro after three days of trying to figure it out. Good luck! -
App Store cant verify the computer when trying to log in
When I try to log in to App Store on my MacBook Pro, to update to OS X YOSEMITE, it says: "Failed to authenticate your device or PC. Contact Customer Support for assistance." How do I solve this?
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no improvement, continue.
Step 2
Reset your computer’s PRAM. -
My iPad cannot connect to the app store but my iPhone can, what do I need to do?
My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps but my iPhone4s can. They were both recently updated to ios6. Whats wrong with this thing?
So you are saying that after you updated several apps - now you cannot connect to the iTunes or App Stores?
"My new iPad cannot connect to the app store and iTunes after updates from several apps"
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
Or try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
Or this ...
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
