How do I get Lion if I can not get the App Store to work?

I have reinstalled my OS 10.6.3 ran all the updates and the App store does not work. I have reinstalled the 10.6.8 Combo updater, and while I can now look through the App Store if I try to download anything the application locks up with the spinning rainbow wheel; the only way out of the is to 'Force Quit'. That being said, "How am I suppose to upgrade to Lion OS 10.7"?

At this time, Lion is not being offered in disc form and is only available through the Mac App store.
As for your Mac AppStore freezing, I assume you are receiving an error 100. Try unmounting your Bootcamp partition and any external hard drives. Sign out and quit the AppStore and iTunes. Open iTunes and download any application. This should prompt you to accept new terms. Accept the new terms and wait for the download to finish. Quit iTunes and relaunch the AppStore. Now attempt to download an application within the AppStore. This should resolve the issue.

  • HT5313 How do I download Lion since it is not in the app store anymore

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and now I would like to upgrade to Lion but it is not in the Mac App store anymore. How can I get it?

    Phone the Apple Store and order a download code for it.

    Your profile indicates your Mac is running v10.7.2
    If that is correct, updating your system software may help.
    Click Software Update from the Apple menu.
    Restart your Mac after updates are installed then try the App Store.
    If you can't update that way, there's a workaround.
    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
    Then restart your Mac and try the App Store.

    Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
    Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
    Give details of the problem. A remark such as "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I expected B; but I got C." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
    Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
    Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.

    Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset 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.

  • HT1349 cannot get lion to download and install from the app store

    the lion os app took 2 days to down load then did not install from the app store.

    Do you mean the install button stays on install, or do you notice a loading bar under your Launchpad icon?
    This may help...

  • I can not load the app store on my imac

    I deleted the app store because it was not responding and try to relaod it and I couldn't. Now I can not add it back. I'm trying to download mountain lion.

    Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo reinstalls the App Store for you.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
    It's ok to do this even though you already have v10.6.8 running on your Mac.
    Make sure your Mac qualifies to run Mountain Lion before purchasing.
    See Step 1 here >  Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • I can not open the app store

    I had the app store but I deleted it from the dock and can no longer find it on my computer. I cant seem to re download it either

    If you are running Snow Leopard v10.6, if it's not in your Applications folder reinstall the App Store using the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed
    If the future, if you post for help, it really helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thanks!

  • Can not use the app store

    hi, all
    I just bought the iphone 6 in Singapore. Unfortunately, this iPhone can not download applications in the app store for free though. Are not all iphone can download applications for free?
    can anyone help me?
    thanks,
    rahajeng

    Hi Rahajeng,
    I assume that it is the first time you're using iPhone? If so, I'd like to highlight the importance of having an Apple ID for every Apple devices.
    Allow me to quote from Apple Support:
    "An Apple ID is your user name for everything you do with Apple, such as shop the iTunes Store, enable iCloud on all your devices, buy from the Apple Online Store, make a reservation at an Apple Retail Store, and use certain resources on the Apple Support website (apple.com/support)."
    As you can see, the Apple ID is like the main essence for enjoying any Apple devices that you've purchased. You can actually create this Apple ID the exact time when you buy your iPhone 6 at Apple retail store. Just ask the store clerk if you'd like the ease of creating Apple ID.
    If you'd like to create custom Apple ID, simply follow these steps:
    1. Open the App Store
    2. Select any application that you'd like to download (I prefer any apps that are FREE, of course)
    3. While trying to install the application, there will be dialog box that suddenly pops up
    4. Select the 'Create a New Apple ID' button
    5. You will then be redirected to registration form
    6. Afterwards, simply fill in your personal information as detailed as possible
    7. If successful, there will be a validation request sent to the specified email address
    8. Click the validation link, so that your Apple ID can be validated
    That's it! You've successfully created Apple ID and able to download any available applications from App Store!
    Regards,
    Risdian

  • Can't find the app store on my iPod touch fourth generation

    Can't find the app store on my iPod touch fourth generation. The app store is nowhere to be found on any screens.

    The app store can be rendered invisible if it's turned off in the restrictions.
    Go to settings, general and scroll down to restrictions. If they're set, there'll be a passcode to enter. If you get in then you can see if the app store has been turned off.

    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.
