HT1338 I cant find the mac app store on my mac book pro w/ snow leopard

I just bought an older MacBook Pro and updated the operating system to Snow Leopard. I can not find the Mac App Store and I do not see any way to download it off of Apple.com. Does anyone know how to get this application?

Run the Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer combo updater, either from Apple's website or through Software Update.

  • I can't find the mac app store on my imac. i am running snow leopard, and i have run "update software" several times. what's up?

    I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I need to go through Mac App store to buy it. I need to get the Mac App store icon in my dock. I have run Update Software several times, trying to get the Mac App store onto my iMac, but with no luck. It doesn't show up in the dock, it doesn't show up in Finder under Applications, and it doesn't show up when I search in Searchlight for App Store, Store, Mac App Store, etc. What am I doing wrong?

    I am running snow leopard
    James....
    You arne't necessarily doing anything wrong.
    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    That should reinstall the App Store for you.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is finished installing.
    You should see the App Store icon in the Dock and be able to access from your Apple menu also.
    Make sure your Mac meet's Lion's requirements

  • I can't get mac app store on my mac!!

    I can't get mac app store on my mac!!

    The Mac App Store is part of 10.6.6 and newer. If you're using an Intel Mac, purchase Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD and then run Software Update. If you're using a PowerPC Mac, give up.

  • If a photo is returned to me in a reply does it use additional storage? I am using Mac Book Pro w snow leopard 10.6.8 and an iPhone 4s iOs 5. Yes, eventually I'll free up time to update these. Thanks.

    Uh uh, I see!
    Also it seems I can use my time machine backup:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Assistant_(Apple)
    together with Migration Assistant. This would work. Thanks
    Now I need to figure out the Windows part. I need a full backup of Windows as well, with all the programs. In particular I need to be sure I can maintain the graphic card drivers.
    You don't want to know how long took for me to find out how the **** I could update my graphic card drivers in Windows on my Macbook pro. Unfortunately there was a lot of misleading propaganda from Apple about bootcamp, saying that the new intel processor would have worked fine with Windows. Sad that everything was a lie. When installing Windows with bootcamp the graphic card program was unable to find and install the graphic card drivers update . Took me 2 weeks reading through thousands of angry posts of disappointed costumers to find out how to do that. I do not want to reapeat this dreadful experience.
    After one year and a half with my Macbook pro I have a system I am TERRIFIED to touch. It is very very fragile, and any little change can destroy everything. It barely works. that's why I am so scared to re-install the OS

  • I have lost my installation disk for my mac book pro running Snow Leopard 10.6." Where can I replace it?"

    I have lost my installation disk for my mac book pro running Snow Leopard 10.6." Where can I replace it?"

    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

  • I just upgraded my mac book pro to snow leopard, now my I photo library dissappeared

    I am a novice in all things technical and I need some help figuring out my I photo library.  I bought my Mac Book Pro in 2009 and shared/transferred all information from my G5 (2004) to my laptop.  I Photo was also transferred and I have started to add more photos to this laptop.
    I just upgraded my mac Book Pro to Snow Leopard and now when I open my Iphoto library it shows  some of the library but now all.  My husband said it is still there but the system is not able to look in the right place due to the sharing...so I am totaly confused?????
    WHen I go to the Information it syas it is Where: /users/shared
    Under sharing and permission it says: You have custom access
    vivianlie read and Write (but this is in light gray)
    Everyone (also in light gray)
    NOW: My old and faithful G5 all of a sudden is telling me this morning that in order to open I photo I
    need to upgrade to work with this verion of I photo
    Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of I photo after the upgrade.
    What should I do now?
    Thanks so much for any tips and ideas...

    On you MBP try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    On your G5 make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and run the same 3 fixes. 
    OT

  • Why cant i open my app store in my mac?

    why cant i open my app store in my macbook air?

    If you are speaking of the encryption of Windows 7, then you don't. (unless you are running Windows on your Mac)
    If you want to use it on your Mac on the native OS X, remove the encryption with your Windows machine, first.
    If it is formatted in NTFS, you will then be able to read the contents natively, but not write to it. You can add an NTFS driver to OS X, or you can reformat to either Mac OS, or ExFAT, losing your existing data on that drive. I used to be a fan of some of the third-party solutions, but have since ditched them, as it takes continual maintenance to retain functionality with OS X updates.
    What you have right this very moment is a drive very much married to Windows, with the expense of not much compatibility to the Mac.

  • How can I redeem an OS X code from the Mac App Store without a Mac?

    I had to erase my mac and I purchased a new license of OS X Lion for it, but need to redeem it at the App store before I can install it on the Mac. Any direction would be helpful.
    Thank You.

    You can't. The Mac App Store app is required to download OS X Lion. Without a Mac, you can't have the app.

  • If I bought Pages, Keynote, and Numbers from the Mac App Store on my Mac, can I get those programs on my iPhone?

    Ok, I bought iWork from the Mac App Store on my iMac. I just wondering if I could get those three programs on my iPhone 5 for free since I already bought them.

    The iVersions are slightly different than the desktop version.
    They are not as powerful as the desktop version. In my case, I do all my document creating on the desktop (create the attendance spreadsheet and form) and edit only on the iPad (take attendance for the day). The commands needed to create the attendance form, for example, on the iGadget do not exist in the iVersion.

  • ILife 11 from Mac App Store on a new Macbook Pro

    Hello, 2 months ago I bought a refurbished Macbook Pro early 2011 which came with Lion and iLife 11 pre-installed. I was supposed to accept my iLife bundle in the Mac App Store which I tried to do with the Apple ID with which I had registered my Macbook. But it did not complete and exited with an error which I dont remember. I didnt pay any attention to it at that time and forgot about it. But now I need to use iPhoto's iCloud functionality with my iPad but I cant because iPhoto would not update. When I click on Update in the Mac App Store it says that sign in with account with which you used to purchase it. I dont know what is happening because I have tried to use both the Apple IDs I have ever used on my Macbook but all to no avail. I even tried to update by downloading the update from Apple Support but it said that your version of iLife should be updated from the Mac App Store. What should I do? I need the iPhoto's iCloud functionality. In the future I would not be able any iLife software on my Mac.
    P.S: I used my brother's Apple ID to buy this Mac at the Apple Online Store since I used his credit card and paid him in cash, but used my own ID to register this Mac. Do I need his ID for updating iLife?

  • Logging in to Mac App Store on different Mac to install Lion?

    Hey there folks, I hope this question isn't too confusing. I also hope it's not against any forum policies. I have two MacBook Pros and one of them is currently used by my mother. I gave it to her as a gift and upon giving it to her, I signed her in to her own Apple ID for the Mac App Store so she can buy her own apps. My question is- Could I log in to the Mac App Store with my ID for the purpose of installing Lion on her Mac, but then log her back under her own account? And if I do this, will it screw up Lion? Thanks in advance for any help!

    Short answer: Nope.
    The user agreement allows you to install the software on as many devices as you like <provided> they are all using the sam Apple ID. If you were to login to your own account in order to redownload Lion onto your mother's computer, you'd have a problem logging her back into her own ID. She'd lose access to apps and her iTunes-purchased content.
