How can I install the apple app store on my computer

I bouth this computer from a friend, when I brought it home I notice I dont have the App store installed, any way I can do this?

You need to contact Apple, 1-800-MY-APPLE, and order OS X Snow Leopard 1.6 and install it upon your Mac. Then download and install the 10.6.8 update combo to have a Mac App Store.
OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 v1.1 update combo

  • How can I install the proper App Store app to complete my upgrade?

    I have Snow Leopard (10.6.8) installed on my iMac 27 (late 2010) but the app store app is not supported on this version. How can I get the proper app store app for SLP? My goal is to get back to Maverick.
    I was running Maverick just fine but ran out of disk space. I had Best Buy install a Seagate 3TB drive. I reinstalled OS X 10.6.4 from my Install Disk. Then I upgraded the "software upgrades" to get 10.6.8.  Somehow I upgraded the App Store app to a version that is not supported on my current version of 10.6.8.
    I appear to be stuck. Unable to go to App Store to down load Maverick.
    Also, with the new Seagate 3TB drive, the fan runs continuously. Any ideas how I can move forward?

    Regarding your fan issue I believe I am correct in assuming BBY did not install the correct HD. My suggestion is to first do several SMC resets which are designed to help with running fans, carefully read http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964. for information on what a SMC reset addresses. You can find instructions for doing the SMC resets in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603. A SMC reset will ONLY help if the correct HD was installed though.
    If the reset does not fix the issue then return the machine to BBY, inquire if the drive they use has heat sensors integrated into the HD they installed and if not then get them to install the correct HD to address the issue.

    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 -

  • How can re-install the factory apps without the CD?

    Hello,
    A friend has given me his old iMac. It is a 5.1 late 2006 17". 
    He has deleted some of the apps that were installed by the factory and I would like to re-install them but I do not have the CD that came with the iMac.
    what can I do?
    Nikolas

    I would recommend just grabbing this disc from the Apple Store. You shouldn't need the original system disc, as this will get you the mac app store to get the iLIfe programs etc. It's advantageous to have an OS X disc for your iMac as you do not have the recovery partition that modern macs have. In addition to installing Snow Leopard, you can use this disc to do health checks on your boot partition etc.

  • How do I install the Mac App Store on my OS X?

    The download is not under Software Update. Do I have the right version?

    You can get a free copy of Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 if you have a Mobile Me account. It is being offered to allow Leopard users to migrate to iCloud, but it will automatically give you the Mac App Store.

  • How can I change my Apple App Store ?

    I know how to change App Store Country... But it's always saying that I need to spent all my money... But how can I spend all my money with 73¢ ?
    ... I'm from the Canadian App Store :D And I want to change for South Korea App Store !

    I have the same problem as jarlstrombom. When I sign back in using my new id, will it be that id and password that show in the iTunes and app store?

  • How can I reset the Mac App Store?

    Hello!
    For some time now, I did not get any update in Mac App Store meaning that there was nothing when klicking on "Updates". Yesterday, I finally looked under "Purchases" (or how is it calles in the English version?) and saw that there were a couple of updates. So, I updated all of them. When returning to the purchases, they were still marked as Applications to update. After repairing the rights in Disk Utility, I got a new update this morning using the "Update" Button again. But all other programs do still have the update button as described even as they are updated already. The version of those I checked was the new one.
    What I did already:
    - I deleted 2 Apps in finder and installed them again - afterwards, again the Update-Button
    - I deleted cache and resetted everything in iTunes
    - I activated the debug menu and deleted the cache and resetted
    - I deleted files in ~/Library as described in https://discussions.apple.com/thread...art=0&tstart=0
    It seems as if the MAS saves somewhere again which programs are installed in what versions. Probably it couldn't modify that file and is still showing the wrong details. Where can I reset that file? It's just not good if you don't know which App is updated and which one isn't.

    Sorry, that's not it:
    If you have updates available there will be a red badge where you see Updates in the menu top of the App Store window.
    That's what I did not have for a few weeks. That was the start...
    I finally looked under "Purchases" (or how is it calles in the English version?) and saw that there were a couple of updates
    Updates are not available from the Purchases tab.
    Maybe I did not call that correctly, but updates are shown in Parchases tab as well:
    Usually, the "Aktualisieren" Button is shown only, if there is an Update in Update tab as well. But that's exactly the thing that does not fit any more for a couple of Apps.
    Just dragging the apps to the Trash does not delete all the associated files.
    Download and install this free utility to uninstall apps > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    I know that and I have AppCleander installed. But that's not the point since I do want to have a correct view inside the App Store. Instead of the red circles, there should the the word "installed".
    Now when you re download an app, the latest version will be installed.
    Disk Utilty / Permissions has nothing to do with your updates from the App Store.
    Correct for the Application itself but all the data used by the App Store needs to be saved somewhere - that's what I'm talking about.
    I hope I could make this a bit clearer now!
    Thanks for your quick answer!

  • How can I correct the iTunes/App Store error I'm getting on my 4s, since upgrading to IOS 7?

    Since upgrading to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4s I cannot download from iTunes/App Store - I get the message "... could not be downloaded at this time.  Please try again later".  I can download via iTunes on my laptop and then transfer via iCloud no problem, but can't make purchases directly.
    How can I resolve this issue?

  • How can I fix the Mac App Store "Update All" button?

    When I have multiple updates, the "Update All" button appears, but doesn't work. It's not greyed-out; if I click on it, it gets dark while I hold the mouse button down. But nothing happens. No error message; it just doesn't work.
    I can manually update my apps one at a time; the "Update" buttons next to individual apps work.
    I'm running 10.8.5 on a MacBook Pro.
    I've tried restarting, and repairing permissions, neither of which helped.

    You need to update to Snow Leopard 10.6.6 to get the App store. If you're on an earlier version of Snow Leopard, just hit
     > Software Update
    If you're on 10.5 Leopard, you'll need to contact Apple and purchase a Snow Leopard disk or a Lion USB Flash drive.

  • How can I find the Mac app store if there is one?

    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.

  • How can I restore the Mac App Store program icons?

  • How can I change the Safari, App Store, iTunes, etc icons?

    I can change the icons on my folders and stuff, and I used LiteIcon to change the Finder, Dashboard and Trash icons but I can't change Safari icon in LiteIcon and I can't use the Get Info method either! Any help? Thank you

    For safari (for example), if its on your dock control click it and go to options > show in finder
    Control click safari there and from the drop down menu click "Get Info"
         Alternatives to this would be to hit command-i or the get info button underneath the icon
    With the window that pops up:
         Click the lock at the bottom to unlock it
         Go to the Sharing & Permission section
         Set all the users listed to "read and write"
    Now to copy the icon that you want to copy, go to the top of the get info window and click the safari icon
    to copy it push command-c
    to replace it push command-v after you have coppied another icon
    to get it back to its normal icon select the icon and push command-x
    You might have to quit and relaunch the app for it to work. 

  • How can I change the Apple ID account of my computer ?

    My computer was bought by my company (I own the company) for an ex employee. She left. I use it now. I can not install anything from the Apple Store because instead of asking my apple id, it asks the password for her apple id. So I want to change the Apple Id my computer/app store uses.

    You will need to delete everything that was bought with her Apple ID and buy it again with your Apple ID.
    If the Mac was set up with her Apple ID it would be best to erase the HDD and start over.
    It is better to set up company Macs with a company Apple ID rather than allow folks to set up company Macs with their personal Apple ID, especially if they are going to buy content with company funds. Nothing that she bought belongs to the company, even if the company paid for it. It all belongs to her personal consumer Apple ID.
