Dont have mac app store on comp
Hey all,
I have recently completed all the updates for my macbook pro. Im at 10.6.8 but i still dont have the mac app store, does anyone know where i can download it or get it some how so that i can get upgrade to lion?
If it has not shown up in the Software Updates you have installed then manually download and install the 10.6.8 Update Combo over your current 10.6.8.It should fill in the missing pieces.

Im using os x 10.5.8 so I dont have the app store on my mac, how can I update my os x software without the app store?
Can I download it online?Nope.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455 explains how to get 10.6.6 to get the App Store.
Only upgrade to 10.7 or later if you are prepared:

I have dont have the app store application...how do i get it?
I don not have the app store on my dock. looking to upgrade to moutain lion from the snowleopard but cannot because i dont have the app store. How do i go about this?
I said:
If you have 10.6, but something lower than 10.6.6, you can run a simple Software Update.
But since you DON'T have 10.6, you will need to call Apple and order it. Good luck.
I should also add, you might consider upgrading to something even later (but you will still need 10.6 first), since not all App Store applications support 10.6, but may support 10.7 or 10.8. -
I purchased Mntn Lion but couldn't redeem it because don't have mac app store since i'm using os 10.5.8. Do I need to buy Snow so i redeem the Lion?
No.
It requires a Mac running 10.6.8 to be installed. Snow Leopard can be purchased at the Apple Store for about $20. -
I did the software update on my mac, but i still dont have the "App Store" in the dock :(
i really need the app store
i just did that a minute ago.. got sidetracked and played chess, but its not there. My friend said something about lepoard... also does it help if i said im running on 10.5.8?
The Mac App Store requires a minimum of 10.6.6 to run, if you are running Leopard you need to purchase Snow Leopard and upgrade. The upgrade is $29 and available from any authorized Apple Reseller or directly from Apple. No you cannot download it, you must purchase the dvd.

Would like to have the mac app store available to me on my mac. I am using10.5.8. I tried to update to 10.6.8 but got error message indicating that I needed 10.6 first. I have mac set to automatically do all updates so I thought I was up to date. If I buy the 10.6 update via apple store and install and then install 10.6.8 will i then have access to the mac app store??
Mac app store is only available on Snow Leopard (10.6). You will need to purchase the upgrade. Only Lion (10.7) is available as a download through the app store and you need SL first.

I have been trying all different updates but nothing is working and i dont know what else to do. I'm running mac OS X 10.5.8 . Can anybody help me try to update my computer.
How far up the foodchain do you want to go? Up to the Hillside Cat? Can your Mac deal with it? Cause it needs at least 4GB RAM, preferably 8GB.
So, the road begins with you calling Apple and requesting a Snow Leopard install DVD. Only way to get it. Costs $20 and a few nickles for shipping. With that cat installed, you get the App Store. Then you get to decide whether you want to reach the summit and get the Mountain Cat, for another $20. -

I need the new software to download the new itunes but i dont have the app store on my computer. How do I get it and how do I download the new software?
It sounds to me like you may be running OSX 10.5. Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
If you are running OSX 10.5 you will have to upgrade to 10.6 by buying a Snow Leopard DVD from Apple phone sales.

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 install snow leopard from the email/pdf Apple sent me if I dont have the Mac App store?
I need to update my Mac to snow leopard. I purchased it online, and they sent me an email with the redemption code. The instructions say I have to redeem it from the Mac App Store, but since you have to have Snow Leopard or higher to get the Mac App Store, I don't know how to redeem my purchase....please help.
You have half of the equation. Buy Snow Leopard and when the DVD arrives you use it to upgrade your Leopard system or erase the drive and install a clean copy of Snow Leopard. If you decide to do the former then be sure you use Disk Utility to repair the hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If you choose the latter do the following:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password. Click on the Featured icon in the toolbar. On the right below Quick Links you will see the Redeem link. Click on it to redeem Mountain Lion. -
does anyone know what to do ?
The apps in the iTunes App Store are for iOS devices, iPhones, iPads, etc. The apps in the Mac App Store are for Macs. Apps for iOS devices do not run on Macs. Apps for Macs do not run on iOS devices. Your purchases in the iTunes App Store will never show up in the Purchases pane of the Mac App Store. They are two different versions of apps for two different operating systems. If a developer has developed a version for both platforms they must be purchased separately.

i have an app update on my phone through the app store, but i dont have that app and when i hit update it says the item is no longer available for sale,, but i cannot get rid of the little 1 at the corner of the app store app,, how can i get rid of it,, i have iphone 5
You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test. -
HT1338 I want to download OS x 7 to my mac but I do not have an app store to find this download.

You don't have to go to App Store to buy 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Follow the notes below.
First, check that your machine is suitable for Snow Leopard. It needs to be a Mac computer with an Intel processor.Double check by reading the specs.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
To buy the DVD, if you are from the USA go to http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard.
In Europe or otherwise substitute your national code in place of /us above.
In the UK see … Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (UK)
Before you start upgrading, back up your files.
Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, 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 a software update to pick up the most recent security updates.
This will take you to Snow Leopard and put the App Store in your applications folder.
Good luck.
