HT201260 what if I do not have app store on my computer

I have a 2008 Macbook version 10.5.8
I cannot get anymore updates for my OS X software and it won't support my iPhone 4s.  It says to update through the App Store application but I do not have it on my computer, suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Then, make a backup, insert the DVD and upgrade. Finally, open  > Software Update and install the latest version.
Mountain Lion requires a Late 2008 Aluminum or Early 2009 MacBook, so if you've a supported Mac, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Check if your programs are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
If it's not supported, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Also, you can keep Snow Leopard

    Thank You so much. It was my fault that I had turned off the installing app button. And I totally forgot. Thank You once again. I was blaming others for my mistakes. I am happy.

  • I am using ipad , my desktop do not have App Store icon, how can I got it

    I am using ipad , my desktop do not have App Store icon, how can I got it, I can not brows App Store, I can not download free software

    You cannot delete the App Store or any of the pre installed apps. It is on your iPad somewhere, but it may be hidden.
    Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
    Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable installing apps.
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

    my OS X does not have app store icon or anywhere in the apps, and has no updates available

    App Store is only available with 10.6.6 or greater.
    In order to get to this release you must buy a Snow Leopard DVD.

    Go to the home page (the one with all the apps) and scroll all the way to the left-most page (a keyboard should pop up) type in App Store and select the result with the blue A icon next to it

  • Whenever I try to download an app [from the app store on the computer], a popup message appears saying 'A server with the specified hostname could not be found'. What could I do to resolve this?

    Whenever I try to download an app [from the app store on the computer], a popup message appears saying 'A server with the specified hostname could not be found'. What could I do to resolve this? I am using a MacBook Pro laptop. There is around 250 gb of free space. Please help

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to update. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

  • What if you do not have access to your alternative suggestions?

    I know I have a question.  What if you do not have access to your alternative suggestions above?  Are we supposed to rely on whatever scraps are available by SkyDrive or some such?  You are taking one of the easiest to use programs - one that woked well - and as I see it, you  have NOTHING to offer. 
    I might have to take a second look at increasing my Adobe 'repository' and stop adding to it.  This is the second time a provider has pulled the plug on me and my projects.  Though small some may be, it takes 10x the work to modify everything and find some place to house these.  Nothing is forever, but my works seems so since I have to keep moving and setting up shop somewhere else!  Just a bit frustrating.

    Hi Ginny,
    Thank you for taking the time to post; I understand your frustration at having to find an alternative service. How have you been using Workspaces? I'd be happy to offer some suggestions where possible.
    Since you mention using Workspaces as a repository, you might be interested in checking out Acrobat.com. While it doesn't include the any authoring apps like Workspaces does (e.g. Buzzword and Tables), Acrobat.com is a convenient tool for storing and sharing files and accessing them across multiple platforms and devices. We'll be adding features and functionality over time, so you can look forward to consistent development and maintenance on the service; as an added bonus, you can use Adobe Reader on your iOS or Android device to access the documents you have stored there.
    Let me know if you'd like more information on Acrobat.com or if you have any other questions about Workspaces.
    Best,
    Rebecca

  • What is your favorite note taking app for handwriting to text?

    What is your favorite note taking app for handwriting to text?

    I use WritePad - feel it does a good job. However, I must admit that I didn't try any others... at the time, it had the best reviews of any handwriting recognition app (in fact, as I recall, it might have been the only one to do recognition).

  • What does "You do not have sufficient access privileges" mean?

    Hello Gurus!
    I am wondering what does "You do not have sufficient access privileges" mean? I have a G$ with 2 internal hard drives. One has OSX 10.3.9 loaded on it and the other has OSX 10.4.7 loaded on it. When I boot up in 10.4.7 and try to access (open or copy) anything in the the desktop, documents, library, movies, music or pictures folders in my user folder on the 10.3.9 disk, it tells me that "I do not have sufficient access privileges"! This is a single user machine and it automatically logs in as me... the administrator. I tried to look at Apple's technical documents regarding permissions and privileges, but it is very confusing with all of it's terminal commands and lingo. Does anyone know an easy (and hopefully GUI) way around this problem?
    Thanks Much,
    Mark

    If you have a different system on each HD then you do not have a single user machine. The user on one system/boot volume is not the same user as the one on the other, even if they ahve the same name and password. If you boot from the 10.3 volume, you can select your user folder, go to File-Get Info, and change the access for others to read and write and click on the apply to enclosed items button. You should then be able to boot from the other system and move stuff around as you see fit. Of course, this is not a terribly secure state to leave your system in, as anyone who can gain access to your Mac can get at everything on your 10.3 home folder.
    If you try this route, I'd suggest doing it only long enough to move everything to one home folder and then revert the access privs to the way they were.

  • Since installing 10.7.3 my downloads say that I do not have enough space on my computer for the download. These downloads are never more that 200 megs or so and I have 270 Gigs left on my hard drive. What can I do to fix this?

    Since installing 10.7.3 my downloads say that I do not have enough space on my computer for the download. These downloads are never more that 200 megs or so and I have 270 gigs left on my hard drive. Somehow the remaining space on my hard drive is not being correctly read. What can I do to fix this? I have run permissions repair several times, but to no avail.

    Th downloads do not finish. I am dowloading to a file on my desktop called MUSIC, but it first starts to download to my desktop and then I move it to the MUSIC file also on my desktop and I have been doing this without incident using 10.7.2 as well as 10.7.1 and 10.7.

    If you do indeed have OS X 10.6.8 = Snow leopard then you should have the App Store.
    If not...
