How do I get Mac App Store on my iMac? I have 10.5.8 OS. If I need to upgrade first how do I do that? It says that my software is updated.

And once you get Mac OS X 10.6 installed, update it to at least 10.6.6 which was the first version to include the Mac App Store (the latest version is 10.6.8). The DVD you get will almost certainly be only 10.6.3. You can update from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 via Software Update, or you can download a standalone Combo updater (Support tab above, then Downloads).
Regards.

HT1772 hi guys i wanted to ask how do you get mac app store on my ibook?

i cannot even access my own wifi from my house i could only see the neighbors but umm i really wanted to get the mac app store i dont have it on my ibook

With a serial number from such a product, you can find more detail about the computer through a site such as this: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php where specifications can help you narrow down that model at the everymac page linked below, based on your iBook SN info.
(And Everymac site does have most information in detail on nearly every Mac, incl. ones that may be harder to place...)
Since that is a white G3 iBook made in Sept 2002, and shipped with both OS X 10.1.4 and OS 9.2.2, the specifications show it to be rather old and probably able to run an OS X version up to Tiger 10.4.11 if the internal RAM chip was upgraded to the maximum.
Far from Snow Leopard's specs. Minimum specs for OS X 10.6.x include a minimum RAM (1024MB+) and other numbers: those are very minimal as more is recommended. And an Intel-based processor in supported hardware, which was supported in the first MacBook 1.83GHz coreduo, in about 2006.
{And this, also depends on the size of the internal hard disk drive since OS X needs HDD free-space for the system and applications to function, as OS X has an automatic function where it uses free space as Virtual Memory. If not for that, you'd need much more RAM installed than the computer can physically (or logically) handle. Since 640MB RAM is the maximum that also puts a ceiling on the OS X version upgrade.}
Given the serial number (SN) of your vintage product, that narrows the field considerably. This should be it: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/specs/ibook_600_2.html
This unit would be light-years from being in the same league as one that could run Snow Leopard 10.6, but if it runs OK and you have the original software discs, cords, any accessories and box, it may have value. Perhap as a backward compatible unit to use older OS 9.2.2 & before applications. With Tiger 10.4.11 it would be a bit slow, and modern browsers are limited or nearly extinct. Maybe TenFourFox browser and older SeaMonkeyPPC versions.
Usually a host will edit the serial numbers from posts, for several reasons. However given a vintage hardware item that is essentially obsolete (see mactracker.ca database download) there isn't a great risk. But they usually remove those numbers when noticed, regardless of the model/year.
Hopefully the upgrade and other information can be of help to make a decision on what else you need to do with it. There is not much newish software out there for Tiger 10.4.11 and that would require a 'retail install' set. If the computer does not have a Combo optical drive, the Tiger disc set would be even harder to find since there was a special CD disc set (4) of limited availability, in addition to DVD media... Those may be found at times online in ebay or other more local sources. The info from Mactracker can help find the part number for the 4-CD disc set for Tiger in their OS information section of the download offline application. Some of this may also be available at everymac.com, too.
For a look at other newer possibilites, later Mac portables appear at Apple Store> Special Deals> Mac, online; they tend to be fairly new, include a warranty, software, etc.
For something that could run Snow Leopard, in restored repaired but used condition an authorized company that fixes them for a living & offers a guaranty, may be a place to look. A comparison site to get an idea online may be wegenermedia.com, they sell repaired Macs, too. Some may not include install-restore discs, so if you contact a reseller of previously-owned hardware, ask about all those items you'd need; then compare.
Should you need assistance, post back.
Good luck & happy computing!

How can i get mac app store on my macbook, how can i get mac app store on my macbook

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.

Snow Leopard v10.6 minimum requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation

How can i get mac app store back when i am on Mac OS X 10.6.8

it says it's missing or incomplete how do i get it back? because i kinda deleted it by accident

Did you delete by dragging it off of the Dock? If so, open the Applications folder and drag the App Store application bundle back onto the Dock.
Or if you deleted the App Store application bundle by going into your Applications folder and deleting it there, then look in your Trash folder. If the Trash has not been emptied, you can drag the App Store bundle back to the Applications folder. Then (after you've dragged it to the Applications folder) drag the icon back onto the Dock, if you want the application in the Dock.
If you've deleted the App Store from the Applications folder and have subsequently emptied the trash, then you'll want to download the 10.6.8 Combo updater from Apple, and apply the installer to your system. That will reload all of the pieces of OS X that have been updated since 10.6. The App Store will be loaded into the Applications folder and into the Dock for you.
OS X updates come in two general formats: Delta updates, and Combo updates. Delta updates contain just changes from the previous release. The Combo updates are cumulative, and contain all changes from all of the delta updates.
Get your OS X backups going, too. Apple's Time Machine does a good job here and is both free and easy to use, though there are other options. Either Time Machine via a directly-connected disk, or (particularly nice for laptops) via a network-connected disk such as an Apple Time Capsule. (With Time Machine operating, you can also choose to restore any erroneously application bundles from the Time Machine backup, so long as the backups were running before the deletion occurred.)

HT1338 how do i get mac app store

the app store aint in my apple botton inthe top left coner

The computer needs to be running Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer to have it. If it's running Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5, this requires phoning the Apple Store and ordering a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

How do I download Mac App store on my OS X 10.6.2?

How do I download Mac App store on my OS X 10.6.2. desktop? I am trying to upgrade my operating system?

You must upgrade to 10.6.6 but preferably 10.6.8 in order to have the App store,
You need to have a Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
Before you start upgrading, back up your files. If you are unsure how best to do this, the following link is hugely informative. Most commonly used backup methods: Apple Support Communities
Once you have upgraded, 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 software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.
At this point you should have Snow Leopard and the App Store. For the moment we will go no further,

It's because I want to set OSX Lion on my MacbookPro.
Thanks!

As you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard.

Install the v10.6.7 combo update.

Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.

I have somehow accidentally removed the mac app store from my computer. How do I get it back?

One day, I looked at my mac app store to see a question mark on the icon. I am not sure how it was deleted but it seems that it has been. I checked the applications folder, I searched for "app store" and "mac app store" and it seems to have vanished from my computer.
I would like to get it back.
Please help.

Here's the link for the v10.6.7 combo update which should reinstall the App Store.app for you.

Tried to update an app and it asked for the password to my sister's Apple ID. I then checked to see whose Apple ID was logged in, in settings and it said that I was logged in. How do I get the app store to ask for MY Apple ID, not my sister's?

Tried to update an app on my phone but when it asked me to give the password for my AppleID, it was asking for the password to my sister's AppleID. I went to setting and down to itunes&app store settings and checked which AppleID was logged in, but i found that it was my AppleID that was logged in, not my my sisters. I then tried logging out and logging back in again but the app store, regardless of this, still asks me for my sister's AppleID and I don't know her password...How do I get the app store to ask me for MY AppleID password, not my sister's?

If this app was bought by your sister with her Apple ID, only her ID can update the app.

How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?

How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?
The old ID is already grayed in the box for my ID and it does not allow me to type in my new ID.

I appreciate your effort and realize I did not provide a lot of background.
My issue began when I unintentionally managed to add an additional .com onto my new apple ID and the system then incorrectly verified this "none existent" address. Following days of effort and emails to Apple support I finally ended up getting set up with my new ID on iTunes.
The next problem was my App store login continued to have the "old" ID grayed into the signin and since I had changed it to a new ID, I could not login at the App Store.
I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with a total of 3 Apple reps without a resolution to me problem.
The last Apple rep, Chad wanted to be able to take a screen shot of what I was telling him, which made no sense to me but I was willing to do what ever was required to solve the problem. Unfortunately, Chad hung up or somehow disconnected before I received the email required for allowing a screenshot. After calling back and adding another 5+ minutes invested, I decided to attempt to change back to my old ID.
Once I had changed my ID back to the old one, I could download updates and purchases.
I realize my question was asking a lot but my hope was someone would have some idea as to how to correct the problem Apple Support could not. It seems to me Apple needs to make a correction on their end but it is now into week two of attempting to solve the problem and I am pretty much disenchanted with Apple Support due to the amount of time and effort already invested and lack of progress.
Thanks for your suggestion. I think it was a good one considering the lack of other information.

Another way is to open your Time Machine back up or clone (if you have one) and copy the App Store app from the /Applications to your Macintosh HD's /Application folder.
Right click on the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar.
Select Enter Time Machine; then navigate to a date you know it was still there and copy if from the /Applications folder.

If you can't find it on any of your home screens or via the spotlight search screen then check to see if it's hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being set 'off'
