HT4854 How do I download Mac App store

I am running a Mac OS X version of 10.6.8 and am confused as to where to begin to download the new Snow Leapord. I think I have to download the Lion prior to that but I'm quite confused. Would really be great if someone could help! 

You are on Snow Leopard, so what you are looking for is either Lion or Mountain Lion?
Does your Macbook meet the system requirements of either? Mountain Lion:

and Lion:

If you want Lion, you will need to call Apple and order it by phone; they will send a redemption code via email so you can download it. If you want Mountain Lion, you can buy it from the Mac App Store (in your Applications folder and in the dock) and download it after purchasing it.

  • 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,

  • 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.

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

    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).

  • How do i redownload Mac App store?

    I accidentally deleted the app store from my MacBookPro. How do I re-download Mac App store? Please help

    You can't. You will have to reinstall OS X or restore App Store from your backup.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                    three times faster than wireless.

  • I can't download Mac App Store

    I can't download Mac App Store using OS X 10.6.8 following Apple's downloading procedure--the Mac App Store icon never appears in the dock or anywhere else!Mac App Store

    You don't update from 10.6.3 by using the App Store. You use Software Update for that. Then after using Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you'll have the latest version of the App Store.
    I don't see how this issue relates to your iPad.

    Where can I find the Mac App store app & download it?   I have already purchased the Lion OS X but cannot download it.  Why is it so difficult to just provide a link to download?
