Can't find my mac app store icon
It used to be in my dock. I searched for it, can't find it.
Where is it?
Anybody know what search term I need to find it?
Go to your Applications folder and drag the App Store icon (not the app) 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.

I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I need to go through Mac App store to buy it. I need to get the Mac App store icon in my dock. I have run Update Software several times, trying to get the Mac App store onto my iMac, but with no luck. It doesn't show up in the dock, it doesn't show up in Finder under Applications, and it doesn't show up when I search in Searchlight for App Store, Store, Mac App Store, etc. What am I doing wrong?
I am running snow leopard
James....
You arne't necessarily doing anything wrong.
Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
That should reinstall the App Store for you.
Restart your Mac after the combo is finished installing.
You should see the App Store icon in the Dock and be able to access from your Apple menu also.
Make sure your Mac meet's Lion's requirements -
How can I find the Mac app store if there is one?
I have one Apple ID. When I enter my Apple ID on my Mac I can only access apps for my ipad and iphone but not my Mac. Is there a mac app store?
There is a Mac App Store on Macs with iOS 10.6.6 and above; Snow Leopard, Lion and Mt Lion.
If you have a Mac App Store it can be accessed by a short cut in the Apple menu. -

Run the Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer combo updater, either from Apple's website or through Software Update.

I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I just loaded the snow leapord onto the computer and accidently removed the new mac app store icon from the dock and now I can't find it. I guess I need it to buy Lion. How do I get it back? It's not in the mac HD apps file. Thanks
Should be in the Applications folder as "App Store", not as "Mac App Store".
Check first in the Applications folder accessible via that named item in the Dock (also accessible at (hard drive) > Applications).
If it's not there, it may be in the Applications folder for your user: (hard drive) > Users > youraccountname > Applications. -

Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash. Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
Install new MAS app -

I can not open the mac app store in any way from my mac book pro
please helpLaunch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

Can I cancel a Mac App Store download and resume later?
Can I cancel a Mac App Store download and resume later?
It is not recommended, once you start a download you should always let it complete the function. If you need to stop the download it may show the icon for the application even though you cancel it. It may or may not let you attempt to try to download the application a 2nd time.

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading... -
I can't access the mac app store even though I have 10.6.8!
I have a MacBook 1.83GHz and I have just downloaded 10.6.8 and I have the mac app store in my dock but it has a line through it and says I need 10.7 to open it. Before downloading 10.6.8 I still had it in my dock but it said i needed 10.6.8 to open it.... I am really confused why I need 10.7 to open it as i thought you needed 10.6.8! How can i get the mac app store working!!???
KatyYou don't have the Snow Leopard version. Perhaps you didn't install Snow Leopard since you cannot download it. You must purchase it:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply. -
Can't download the mac app store?
I went to ''Software Update'' and everything, and it still isn't working. I've done it over and over. Please help.
You didn't say what operating system you have, however, assume you have Snow Leopard 10.6, since OS X Leopard 10.5 and earlier can't access the mac app store.
You need to have OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard or later for the mac app store application to work. You can download the combo 10.6.8 update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 which will have the mac app store application included. -

Can't connect to Mac App Store after upgrade to OSX 10.9
After upgrading to Mavericks, I cannot log into the Mac App store to update/purchase the apps on my MacBook Pro with Retina. I have two Apple ID's. With one I can connect to the Mac App Store. When I use the other ID it just hangs at the login box and does nothing. I need to use both ID's as I have software updates for both. Thanks for your assistance.
