How do I install mac app store?

I have a 2010 iMac I just bought from a friend and with snow leopard 10.6.8 installed.  The App Store App is damaged and I can't figure out how to reinstall it.  I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I can find no way to do this without purchasing it from the app store.

Delete it and rerun the 10.6.8 combo updater.

    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).

    Make a clone of the entire volume using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. After you have installed the new OS, simply migrate everything you need.

  • 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,

  • My mac is running snow lepoard 10.5.8, how di i install the app store

    my mac is running 10.5.8, is there any way I can install the app store,
    thanks nada

    You can't.   You need 10.6.3 Snow Leopard minimum.
    But depending on the model you have, you can buy Snow Leopard from the Mac Store.   Read below for the minimum specs required.

  • How do I stop Mac App Store apps listing as "Accept" rather than the purchase price?

    Hi there,
    I'm attempting to buy iPhoto '11 from the Mac App Store but it lists as "Accept" rather than the purchase price.
    When I click on Accept a message pops up saying "These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID: These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications."
    The pop-up gives the option to hit OK and there are no other buttons.
    iPhoto '11 is not in my purchases list. I have never bought it before. I am using a second hand Mac and I suspect the previous owner may have downloaded iPhoto but it is no longer installed anywhere on the system and I am the sole user of it. There are no other accounts on this Mac and it looks like it was reformatted back to scratch before I bought it.
    The problem is I cannot find any way to reset the "Accept" option so I can actually purchase the App.
    Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    i also am having this EXACT same problem and alot of others seem to be too? i wonder what is going on here! if anyone from apple reads this, maybe it is something you can look into? My mac did not come with a start up disk and i accidently deleted the iphoto app... i have 2 apple I.Ds but i dont use the one originally registered. i am aware i will have to buy the app again in this case so please let me buy iPhoto please! and thanks!

  • How do I prevent Mac App Store flagging updates?

    I have a Mac Mini with 1.66 Ghz Intel Core Duo processor and 2GB of RAM
    I am using OS 10.6.8 - the highest that this Mac will run.
    I have iPhoto 11 - version 9.2.3
    When I open the Mac App Store it tells me that there is an update for iPhoto to version 9.3, but if I try to update it I am told "iPhoto can't be installed on Mac Mini HD because Mac OS X version 10.7.4 or later is required"
    How do I prevent the App Store constantly flagging up this update as I cannot use it.

    Try hiding the app in the Purchased pane.

  • How I reinstall removed Mac App Store

    Hi everyone, I have a problem.
    I'm using Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and I removed the Mac App Store from my iMac (accidentally). Now, I want to install the new Mac OS X Mavericks but I need the App Store to do.
    I tried to extract "AppStore.app" from OS X 10.8.5 Update Combo but nothing... How I do to reinstall Mac App Store on my computer?
    Thanks guys.

    You can't delete the App Store app from Yosemite. If you try, this is what you get.
    It's likely that you removed it from the Dock. The is a shortcut to the App Store in the  menu. The app should be in the Applications folder. You can drag & drop it back onto the Dock.

  • Clean install & Mac App Store (Can't reinstall Apps)

    Hello Everyone,
    I just did a clean instal of OS X Lion and after signing into the Mac App Store, it is telling me that programs are already installed (which they are not). If I try to update or anything it tellls me these are associated with another account.
    "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."
    How do I get around this?
    Regards,
    CLM

    Just to confirm, you can boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
    When you select to reinstall OS X, what happens?
    Fix for missing MAS
    It's possible #1 will do the trick, but you might need to do the additional steps in Keychain access.
    1.  Delete the files /var/db/crls/crlcache.db and /var/db/crls/ocspcache.db. These can be found using Finder’s Go >; Go To Folder menu (Cmd + Shift + G). This resets the cache of accepted certificates in the system. It doesn’t remove them, it just forces the system to rebuild the caches upon restart.
    2.  Open Keychain Access (/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access). Select Certificates in the Category picker on the left side. In the search bar, type in the word Class. Look through that list, and find any certificates that have a blue + symbol over their icon. These are the ones you need to modify.
    Select one that has a blue +, and hit Command + I. Click the disclosure triangle beside the “Trust” list to show the list of permissions. Now, what we need to do is to set this certificate to use the system defaults. However, for some reason, when you select it, it doesn’t save. So what you need to do is this. Under “Trust”, where it says “Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)”, change the dropdown menu to say “No Value Specified”. Then, close the window. It will ask for your administrator permissions. Then, open the info pane for that certificate again. Under “Trust” again, now set the dropdown that says “When using this certificate:” to say “Use System Defaults”. You can then close out of the info pane, and enter your password again. Do this for any of the certificates that have a blue + on their icon. There should only be one or two at most.
    (Note: I had to toggle the settings before it would stick)
    Restart your system.

  • How do I download Mac App Store to my MacBook Pro. Somehow, it was deleted

    Somehow, Mac App Store has been deleted from my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X version 10.6.8)
    How do I download this back to my MacBook Pro?

    Yes it is. I have a Mac Book Pro and trying to open Mac App Store. It won't open and isn't even listed under my applications. Apparently, I deleted it some time ago by mistake. I'm trying to somehow download the app for it again. I can't seem to find the app to even download it. Can you help? I'm sorry if I caused you trouble, or if my question wasn't clear.

  • HT4928 How do I hide Mac App Store update requests?

    I downloaded a free app in the Mac App Store many months ago, after I got bored of it I deleted de App but now the Mac App Store is requesting me to update the mentioned app which I don't want anymore. How can I make it stop requesting me the update?

    Not in my case, somehow this app doesn't appear in my Purchased panel, just in my Updates panel.
    Here are the screens:
    This the Purchased Panel
    And this is the Updates Panel
    Hope I can get a solution now. And thanks anyway for all the previews replies.
