Cant download Mac App Store

Hi there,
I have recently updated my version of Snow Leopard, but realised that the Lion has just been released. I want to downlaod/purchase Lion, which can only be done through Mac App Store by the looks of it. For some reason I do not have Mac App Store (despite having just updated my version og Snow Leopard) and I can't download it from macupdate either?
What could the problem be and how do I go about resolving it?
Thanks in advance!

If it isn't in your dock, it should be in the Apple menu.
If it isn't there, maybe Spotlight can find it - Cmd + Space, or click the magnifying glass at the top right of your screen, and start typing "app"
If that doesn't work, try downloading the combo update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399

  • How do I download Mac App store on my OS X 10.6.2?

    How do I download Mac App store on my OS X 10.6.2. desktop? I am trying to upgrade my operating system?

    You must upgrade to 10.6.6 but preferably 10.6.8 in order to have the App store,
    You need to have a Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
    Before you start upgrading, back up your files.   If you are unsure how best to do this, the following link is hugely informative.   Most commonly used backup methods: Apple Support Communities
    Once you have upgraded, if your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater.  Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  and follow with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.
    At this point you should have Snow Leopard and the App Store.   For the moment we will go no further,

  • Unable to download Mac App Store

    I downloaded it once, but then my Mac started hanging so I trashed it. Now when I click software update, it says my software is up to date. Is there another way to download Mac App Store...is it even worth it to try? It seems a lot of people are having problems with it.
    Thanks,
    Christine

    Hello, esienriqueiglesias.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would need more information regarding what exact error, message or behavior that you are experiencing when attempting to download applications.  However, some applications are large in size and require a Wi-Fi connection to download.  I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article below.  
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time. 
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • I can't download Mac App Store

    I can't download Mac App Store using OS X 10.6.8 following Apple's downloading procedure--the Mac App Store icon never appears in the dock or anywhere else!Mac App Store

    You don't update from 10.6.3 by using the App Store. You use Software Update for that. Then after using Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you'll have the latest version of the App Store.
    I don't see how this issue relates to your iPad.

  • Cant download from app store

    I can download most things dont require OS X 10.8, I'm OSX 10.7.5.
    However I have an iPhoto update pending, and when I click on the UPDATE button it asks me to sign on to a particular account. I have tried every possible account i could have ever used, no luck.
    I cant even figure out how to by pass app store even if I wanted to buy iPhoto, I kee getting sent back to the app store.
    Thanks in advance.

    First, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4236
    If it doesn't work, maybe iPhoto is hidden. Open App Store > Featured > Account (under Quick Links) > Show hidden purchases, and show iPhoto. If it doesn't show up, contact with App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact

  • How do I download Mac App Store to my MacBook Pro. Somehow, it was deleted

    Somehow, Mac App Store has been deleted from my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X version 10.6.8)
    How do I download this back to my MacBook Pro?

    Yes it is. I have a Mac Book Pro and trying to open Mac App Store. It won't open and isn't even listed under my applications. Apparently, I deleted it some time ago by mistake. I'm trying to somehow download the app for it again. I can't seem to find the app to even download it. Can you help? I'm sorry if I caused you trouble, or if my question wasn't clear.

  • HT4854 How do I download Mac App store

    I am running a Mac OS X version of 10.6.8 and am confused as to where to begin to download the new Snow Leapord. I think I have to download the Lion prior to that but I'm quite confused. Would really be great if someone could help! 

    You are on Snow Leopard, so what you are looking for is either Lion or Mountain Lion?
    Does your Macbook meet the system requirements of either? Mountain Lion:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    and Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949
    If you want Lion, you will need to call Apple and order it by phone; they will send a redemption code via email so you can download it. If you want Mountain Lion, you can buy it from the Mac App Store (in your Applications folder and in the dock) and download it after purchasing it.

  • Cant download BB app. store! pleaase help!?

    Hi, i cant seem to download the BB apps. storeon my computer nor blackberry and its driving me insaane!
    im 14 && got the blackberry for my birthday. im on 02 and i pay £15 a month for 100 mins and 3000 texts - is this a data plan or do i need one?

    Sorry, your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support BlackBerry App World.
    could anyone pleaaase tell me what i an doing wrong? it would help soo much!
    thank yooou ! xx

    If you are unsure if your service plan includes access to AppWorld, then yes -- you need to contact them for assistance.
    For BT file transfer, see this KB:
    KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
    Substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device in place of the KB section for the sending device. Do not skip the "Receive Using BT" step on the receiving BB...nothing will transfer if you do.
    Good luck and let us know!

I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

  • Update available but can't download mac app store

    Mac app store says i got an update, but when i click the updates tab, says all software is up to date.
    Xcode was updated not so long ago and i could never run the update, so i think that is the update it says i have.
    I need that update for better stability and work better with my projects, and can't update because of this issue.
    BTW my connection is too slow to download the whole xcode again. what do i do?

    10.5.8 is Leopard, no Appstore.
    10.6.6-8 is Snow Leopard, that's what you need.
    10.7... is Lion (also Appstore ofcourse), but this OS is different. Why not upgrade to Snow Leopard first, and then decide later if you will (and can) go to Lion?

  • HT4463 How to download mac app store app

    Where can I find the Mac App store app & download it?   I have already purchased the Lion OS X but cannot download it.  Why is it so difficult to just provide a link to download?

    You had to have access to the App Store in order to download Lion.
    Click your Apple icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click App Store.
    Or, click the App Store icon in your Dock.
    Or launch the App Store from your Applications folder.

  • GarageBand already downloaded, Mac App Store asking me to pay for it again!

    I have a 2008 model of the iMac. It started out on Snow Leopard and came with an iLife '09 disc which had GarageBand. It is now running OS X Yosemite and I have updated all of my iLife apps except for GarageBand. I wanted to update it from the Mac App Store, but the App Store asked me to pay for GarageBand again! Is this supposed to happen? Is there any way around this?

    No, there is no way around that, sorry.
    To upgrade from your  iLIfe '09 version of GarageBand to GarageBand 10.0 is a major upgrade - you can recognize a paid upgrade by the version number. If the first digits are different, it is a paid upgrade; only if only the digits behind the first decimal point change, it is a free update.
    If you  upgrade, don't uninstall your current version. You may want to use your GarageBand '09 loops and instruments with the new version. It has a very different set of instrument and loops.
