hi i cant downloads applications and games on my macbook and i cant find the mac app store can someone help me and tell me how can i find it or download it thx
According to your profile your Mac is running v10.5.8 Leopard.
So, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard v10.6.6 (minimum) in order to have access to the App Store.
Snow Leopard is no longer available from the Apple online store so you need to contact Apple directly.
1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)
Snow Leopard v10.6 minimum requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation

I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is still $29. You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications. -
Mac App Store app does not install. How do I get a refund?
I purchased an app from the Mac App Store (Connect360 - $20). I "installed" the app from the Mac App Store. The app appears on the dock and loads, but when it's done, it disappears from the dock. The app is not located in the Applicaitons menu like it should be. When I return to the Mac App store app and go to PURCHASED, the app is listed there again with the INSTALL button ready to go to be installed. I've gone through this now 2 or 3 times and the app doesn't ever install.
I followed all the links from the Mac App store to the developers website and after digging down into the comments found that others have had this problem as well. I contacted the developer and they said this was a "Mac App store bug that Apple is aware of and to please contact Apple." I have not found anywhere to properly report this and feel very frustrated that I keep getting sent in link circles from one place on the Apple website to the Mac App store and back again.
I had previously tried the "trial" version from the developer and loved it. I followed all the instructions to "uninstall" the app before installing the Mac App store app as well. I thought it would be nice to have purchased the app through the Mac App store so it was tied to my account, but no suck luck.
Anyone know the proper procedure for requesting a refund or point me in the direction to get answers on how to get my $20 back?Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then reinstall the app > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Your only recourse for a refund if you can't get the app installed correctly is from the developer, not Apple.
According to Apple, all sales are final > iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Reinstall maverick x and my Mac log in is not working /how do I find it? App Store log in will not work.
HelpCan you explain the symptoms with a little more detail?
Your App Store, iTunes Store, this forum all can use the same AppleID. It is not required that they are the same, but unless you know that you chose different ones, they are all the same.
If you are reinstalling, you must use the AppleID that you used to originally install the OS.

I already have an itunes account on my laptop but have been setup on a mac and have songs that have not been purchased from the itunes store, I cannot get the songs from my iPhone onto my itunes account on the mac. how can I do this?
You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device. -
I just bought a iTunes card and its not accepting it. It already sent it to the support team and they said they were going to get back to my within 24 hours and i am trying to buy a program in the app store for work. How can I expedite this process?
Has it been 24 hours?
I take it this was a gift card. iTunes Store: Invalid, Inactive, or Illegible codes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292 - gift cards
I don't know if this provides an alternative means: https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column
If you are really desperate you could buy the app yourself, then request reimbursement. -
When I try to open a spreadsheet on my Mac that I worked on with my iPhone, I get "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." When I go to the App store, it says I already have it. I have v. 2.3 and can't seem to download newer version.
If you are running Mavericks, and the Mac App store says you are up to date, then you have Numbers 3.2 as well as Numbers 2.3. You are getting the "Need a newer version message because your Mac is trying to open the document using Numbers 2.3.
Launch Numbers 3, then open the document from within that app, or right click/control-click the document and choose Open with Numbers 3.x.

the apps store icon on my iphone has dissapperared. how do i get it back on my iphone so i can buy and update apps on my phone?
The App Store icon can't be deleted. You either moved it - to another home screen page or inside a folder, or set a restriction so it doesn't show.
1. Settings > General > Restrictions > (Allow) Installing Apps > ON.
2. Search all Home Screen pages and inside folders
3. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout. -

I am trying to update my apps but keep getting a popup that says "Your Account is not valid for use in the US store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing." I can not find where to do this! Please help! Thank you!
[Apologies to pdesteele for this slight OT bit, but it's all relevant to your question, I think ]
We do have a place in the UK which we could use as an address, but for various reasons it gets a bit complex even though we still have a UK bank account. We moved to France when there were no iDevices and apps around, just bought the occasional music, so it wasn't a problem. Funny thing is I can't even download the free UK bank app because it's not available in the French store .
I'll live with the problem for now as we plan to move back to the UK in a year or so - we miss the weather .
