I accidentally deleted mac app store on osx lion...is there any way to reinstall it?

It wasn't logging on properly...so I thought that I could just delete and reinstall the app store. However, I was sadly mistaken. Any help on the topic?

I tried everything I could think of (delving into the recovery partition, searching through the later updates to Snow Leopard), but everything I found was lower than App Store.app version 1.1.1, and wouldn't launch. Reinstalling Lion may be your only option, although if the recovery partition doesn't have it, then I don't know how it'd bring it back. … and if you don't have the App Store, you can't redownload the Lion install that would allow you to reinstall Lion the same way as before. I'd upload my copy to Dropbox or something, but I figure that would probably break some rule (also, you wouldn't know if that was actually it or some malware).
If you have a Time Machine backup you can restore it from that. You can try what reinstall/repair options the recovery partition provides, but apart from that… you may have to resort to shadier sites.

    Apple usually offers a refund one time. You need to decide if this purchase is the one that you wish to use that one-time refund with.

  • Hi, I accidentally delete my notes on iPad mini.  is there any way to recover?  unfortunate, I didnot activate iCloud

    Hi, I accidentally delete my notes on iPad mini.  is there any way to recover?  unfortunate, I didnot activate iCloud.  there are several third party app claiming that they can be used to recover my notes.  are those true?

    Unless you synced them with an email account or backed them up somewhere, it's doubtful. You may end up paying money for an app that cannot guarantee anything. Sorry.

  • If I've accidentally deleted a Notes page on my iPhone, is there any way of retrieving it.

    I've accidentally deleted a page in Notes. Is there any way I can retrieve the information on the page?

    Another way if you have not a backup, that is using a third party iPhone Data Recovery to get your lost notes back.
    Anyway, try better than no.
    If you did the backup of your notes before deleting then you can easily recover deleted notes on iPhone by the following steps:
    1. First don’t connect your iPhone directly to computer because the iTunes only saves the most recent backup
    2. Now make sure that you have a valid backup as listed iTunes> preferences> devices
    3. Before connecting your iPhone make sure to check iTunes>preferences> devices “prevent iPhone from syncing automatically.” Because this will ensures we don’t erase the previously stored backup. Then select “OK” and close the window after checking “ don’t sync”
    4. Now connect your iPhone to your computer and run iPhone Data Recovery .
    5. Select the iPhone as seen in the left bar of iTunes, as listed under the devices .
    6. Select version and click on restore from options.
    7. It takes a while to for iPhone to erase itself, reset and restart.
    8. After the iPhone is restart you will see Set Up Your iPhone in iTunes on your computer, and now just click the restore from the backup and click continue. It will take 10 to 12 minutes to recover your deleted notes, photos, music, videos, etc.

  • OMG, I accidentally deleted my iPhoto and emptied the trash, is there any way to get it back?

    Please help! I'm having a heart attack right now, I accidentally deleted my iPhoto that has hundreds of pictures and I have already emptied the trash, please tell me if there is any way I can get it back?

    If you have not backed it up, then your only option is to stop using the computer immediately, as further use will risk writting over the sectors of your HDD, and make it difficult to recover.
    Now the recovery process is long, and expensive, and your files may not be in any particular order. There may be millions of files to sift through.
    You would need to use a program like Data Rescue 3, and pull out your HDD, and plug it as an external into another machine.
    Or you could spend thousands having it done professionally.
    For "hundreds", is it worth it?

  • I accidently deleted bluetooth off my Macbook.. Is there any way to reinstall to the computer again?

    Please if you know of any way to do this, let me know!
    Thank you

    What do you mean you "accidentally deleted bluetooth" off your MacBook?
    You can't delete Bluetooth, unless you've been specifically messing about inside the hidden "Library" folder and entering your admin password when deleting files in there - you certainly can't do that "accidentally".
    Please describe exactly what you've done, and what you're trying to get back, and we'll try to help.

    Yes. It will reset your Home screen layouts.
    If the App store is hidden by Restrictions, it will not be enabled by Reset Home screen layout.
    You need to re-enable Installing Apps in General > Restrictions.

    You cannot delete the Apple builtin apps.
    1. Use Spotlight to search on iPhone.
    2. Check if Settings > General > Restrictions > iTunes Store: ON (green)
    3. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Hi! I accidentally deleted my app store from the phone....how to retrieve it back...pls help me...just using the iphone

    Hi everyone

    To restore the missing App Store Icon, or other original Apple Icons on the iPhone, go to Settings / General / Reset (Don't worry, you will be presented with a number of options concerning resetting before anything happens. The iPhone will NOT reset just by selecting this option).
    Choose "Reset Home Screen Layout". This will restore the App Store Icon as well as other Apple Icons you may have removed or placed into folders.
    Please note. This also removes any folders you have set up and rearranges all of the apps you have, so it takes awhile to put everything back where it was.
    Unfortunately, I did not capture the placement of my Icons, so I had to recreate from memory...not that big a deal. If you elect to follow this procedure, make a note of where all of your icons are placed and then proceed.
    I followed links that talked about restoring through iTunes...never could make anything like that work. This is a quick and simple fix.

  • Just installing a few updates from the Mac App Store for mountain lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro, during this it made a noise and then the screen and keyboard went off, like it is off. What happened, is it off...or should I just wait it out?

    Just installing a few updates from the Mac App Store for mountain lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro, during this it made a noise and then the screen and keyboard went off, like it is off. What happened, is it off...or should I just wait it out?

    What kind of noise?
    The only things I can think of that make noise are fans and disks. Fans usually will not cause the computer to shutdown as you describe. My guess is your disk drive died. I hope you made a backup prior to start the ungrade.

        Sorry to hear that the Bluetooth data/profiles may have been deleted from your phone. Accidents happen!
    oznaw, to be honest, I believe you will need to perform a master reset in order to recover the missing Bluetooth data, as there is nothing really available in the Play Store that just updates the Bluetooth profiles/data. Let us know if you have any additional questions, or if you found an alternative. Thank you oznaw.
