Deleted the Macappstore and now can't get it back

I originally deleted the Mac App store when it popped up in the dock a couple of updates ago. I don't do apps and didn't see the need to have it there. Now it turns out you can only get LION from the App store... Since I'm in 10.6.8 I can't re download the App store as part of 10.6.6. I'm sure this will be easy for one of you to explain how I can do that.

I removed it from the applications folder. When I go to the Apple website and try to buy it through them I get a gray screen and a message that says, "Safari can't open macappstore://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12 because Mac OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with macappstore".

  • FaceTime 1.1 deleted from Lion and now can't get it back! Help!

    I deleted Facetime as thought it wasnt working and could just download it from the mac store. Now i realise it was apples servers messing it up and now dont have Facetime and cannot download it from the apple store as they only provide 1.0.2 version and Lion comes with 1.1 Can someone send me the App? or give me any help without downloading Lion again beause i have a very slow internet connection. I was told that i can use Lion recovery and use the Reinstall Mac OS X option i can do it that way but it will download it all again first but will that do a new install or just replace the current setup?

    Sorry to hear that I don't know what say now.
    When I upgraded to Lion the only issues I had was facetime didn't work, and IPhoto would hang with the dreadful beach ball spinning. LOL!
    I removed facetime three time installed Lion with the installer, booted from HD into recovery, and from a DVD without any problems. The DVD took one hour to install.
    The problem with Facetime on my system was the host file (fixed), and IPhoto fixed itself after three hangs with a reboot.
    The lion is running smooth now.

  • Deleted an app and now can't get out of settings

    help please anyone!! deleted an app and now can't get out of settings....any advice please...

    Not sure if you mean the app settings within the app, or the actual settings app. It doesn't really matter anyway .... Close the app or apps and reboot your iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I downloaded a audiobook and didn't know it had 2 parts And accidently deleted the first half, how can I get it back?

    I downloaded a audiobook and didn't know it had 2 parts And accidently deleted the first half, how can I get it back?

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so unless you copied it over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library before you deleted it (in which case case you could sync it back to your phone), then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download of it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Firefox is hidden to the side of the screen and I can't get it back

    I have an HP Quad computer running Windows 7. My Firefox browser is hidden off screen and I can't get it back. I've searched problem solving links and nothing has helped. I've uninstalled Mozilla and then reinstalled it and it has the same problem. I've changed the Windows to CasCade Tiles view and it doesn't fix it. I haven't been able to use the browser on my main computer for a week. HELP! PS this is on a different computer than the one I am writing you on. I have been consistent with updates.

    The address has now gone - all I needed was another restart. But it did take two attempts. Thanks for your interest. Have also found that the iMac is slower at the moment. Goodness only knows what else I will find when I restart other progs.

  • Multiple windows open up in one browser. I drag and dropped websites to the taskbar and now can't get rid of it.

    I thought it would be convenient for 3 windows to open automatically in one browser. It slows my laptop down and I want to be able to click on Firefox and have just one window open. Any ideas how to fix?

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • I accidentally deleted iMovie '08 and I can't get it back

    I just got a new mac that came with Leopard and iLife '08. When I got it, I couldn't find iMovie '08, so I downloaded the update from the Apple website. It worked, and when I got it, I opened it but it had to "create video thumbnails" or something, but I forget. It took about an hour, and when it was done, I didn't even like the program that much. So I closed it, but when I tried to open it again, it had to do the loading for an hour thing again. So I started using my old imovie (06) and then my built in camera did not work on it, and I assumed that this was caused by the new iMovie, and I made the bad choice of deleting iMovie '08.
    Today, I tried to download my new Canon ZR40 to my computer, and my computer did not even acknowledge that the camera was there, when when I tried to find it in Image Capture. So I remembered that you can easily download digital camcorders to iMovie 08, so I looked for it on my computer, but I could not find it. I tried downloading it off the Apple website again, but it did not work. And I need what's on this camera for school, and I NEED TO GET THE VIDEO ON MY COMPUTER. Is there a way that I can (A.) get iMovie '08 back or (B.) Find a way to download my camera's videos onto my computer? Thank you for your help.

    You will need to install the software using the Software Restore DVD that came with your computer.
    Insert the software restore DVD and read the instructions that you will find on the disk.
    You cannot download the software from Apple as they only provide updates via the download NOT the full product.

  • New hard drive and now can't get library back!

    Hi,
    My hard drive recently crashed and I did not have a backup (I know, I know!). Anyway, new hard drive installed and some of my files were saved including some music files. However, when I try to add them to iTunes, they do not add. I have everything on my ipod but when I connect it, it says that I have already synched it with another computer. How can I get my music back in the library as it was before? And do I do this with the music and podcasts stored on my computer or can iget my music from my ipod to the library?

    *can i get my music from my ipod to the library?*
    Connect your iPod to your computer. when you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

  • I copied my Movies folder using Finder to an external HD before my MBP crashed and now can't get them back into iMovie library!!

    I realize NOW that I should have moved the events and projects to external HD within iMovie but unfortunately I didn't. I also upgraded to Mavericks with the new internal HD. Problems...
    1) If I try and open a movie in iMovie from the Movies folder, none of the movies are highlighted so I cannot open them.
    2) When I open a movie using Finder in the Movies folder, it goes through this conversion process with QuickTime player which takes several minutes (we have over 700 videos).
    Anybody have any suggestions to fix this problem? I still have the Movies folder in both the external HD and on my internal HD.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sean

  • Minimized Cover Flow on Bookmarks page and now can't get it back

    On the Bookmarks page, I moved the Cover Flow section up so that it disappeared. When I tried to show it again by moving the cursor from the top to bottom of the area is originally displayed, the CF section fails to reappear. How to get it back?

    Good gracious. I was able to do that to myself in the course of seeing if I could replicate the problem.
    After some swearing and cursing, I managed to get the Cover Flow back showing again in Bookmarks by rebuilding my com.apple.Safari plist file, as per the instructions in the following user tip:

  • Iwas directed to an iTunes Store in the UK and now can't get back to my own store in Canada. Anyone know how?

    Anyone know how I can get back to my iTunes Store in Canada? I seem to be in one in the UK.

    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
    If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPad, and sign into your account again.

    You could try unsyncing it from your phone using iTunes (by unchecking it on your iTunes sync settings on the Tones tab and syncing), they resync it to your phone (by rechecking to sync tones in iTunes and syncing again).
