I by mistake deleted my Mac App store. How to get it back?

I deleted my Mac App store by mistake. How to get it bak on os x 10.6.8? I tried software update but it did not work.
Also, how to update it to latest version of os x

From where did you delete it - the Dock or the Applications folder? If the former then locate the application in the Applications folder and drag the icon to the Dock. If the latter, download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • I accidentally deleted my mac app store how do I get it back

    I deleted the mac app strone on my computer and I somehow can't get it back

    It is likely you simply dragged it away from your Dock. Is that possible?
    Find the App Store in your Applications folder.
    From the Finder menu, Go > Applications. Drag the App Store icon to the Dock.

  • I've deleted my Mail app. How to get it back?

    Hi,
    I have somehow, by accident (I have no idea how) deleted my Mail app. It is not in my applications folder and I cannot find it in spotlight. Is there somewhere I can download it or will I have to reinstall OS X, which would be a horror?
    Any help is very welcome. Thanks!

    Hello,
    With Tiger, you need only to do a custom install. See:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229
    then after this custom install run the Combo Update to ensure that Mail is then compatible with your OS version. If you are only using 10.4.8, then you will need to search for the Combo that only takes you to that level. The first one you will find will be for 10.4.9, however.

    Another way is to open your Time Machine back up or clone (if you have one) and copy the App Store app from the /Applications to your Macintosh HD's /Application folder.
    Right click on the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar.
    Select Enter Time Machine; then navigate to a date you know it was still there and copy if from the /Applications folder.

    Install the v10.6.7 combo update.
    Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
    It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.

  • I Deleted the mac app store because of error 4 and i cant download it with software update

    I Deleted the mac app store because it showed error 4 and I cant download it with software update.

    I guess you have no time-machine or carbon copy cloner backup at hand.. then you will go a manual way.
    Mac AppStore is included in 10.6.6 first and a updated better version ( the latest ) is in 10.6.7, so I focus on the later :
    Use the shareware ( works without paying , nag screen only ) called "pacifist" . Locate the 10.6.7 update package on your harddisk, mount the dmg, go inside and right-click the installer package, it wil offer you top open it with pacifist instead of Apples OS installer.
    Inside pacifist you can see the various sub-packages, one item is the Mac App Store, select it and choose "install to default location" from pacifists menu.
    This way you bypass the OS' logic that it is already up to date and will find AppStore in your Applications folder.
    Note that this scenario is totally unsupported by Apple of course and you do it on your own risk.
    The official way if you have messed up the OS and have removed parts of it, would be to wipe and reload OSX plus its updates to be back..

    So i was on the mac app store going to get a free game and it said i had to review my account do i have to pay to do that?

    No. They just want you to review your payment information.
    You can select None for payment method if it's available  >  Mac App Store: Changing your account information
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

  • In the new mac app store how do you limit displayed applications only to os x applications.

    In the new mac app store how do you limit displayed applications only to os x applications. I do not have Iphone or ipad so all the phone junk is annoying and one cannot find the relevant software.

    The Mac App Store only has apps for Mac OS X. There are no iOS apps.
    The iOS apps for iPhones, iPods and iPads, are in the iTunes App Store.

  • I accidentally deleted my iMovie off my mac, anyone know how to get it back because it came for free and is now 15 dollars to buy back??? pls help

    i accidentally deleted my iMovie off my mac, anyone know how to get it back because it came for free and is now 15 dollars to buy back??? pls help

    If you mean you accidentally removed the icon for iMovie from the Dock (the array of icons at the bottom of the window), you can add it back easily.
    Open the Applications folder (if you open it from the Dock you may then need to click the Open in Finder icon), locate the iMovie program.
    Drag the icon for iMovie down to the Dock, somewhere between the icon for Finder and the dashed line toward the right.
    Wait for the icons at that spot to move aside, then drop it in.

  • TS1702 When I try to reload The Sims FreePlay (sister deleted accidentally) from Apps Store I keep getting an error message "There is not enough avaiable storage to download "The Sims FreePlay". I check my settings and I do have enough available storage.

    When i try to reload The Sims FreePlay (sister accidentally deleted) from App Store I keep getting error message. There is not enough available storage on my device but there actually is enought storage. Not sure why I cannot get App to reload. I have synced to my computer. Help!

    To download/install an app directly to the iPod you need available storage equal to about three times the file download size. Syncing the app to the iPod requires a lot less. Thus you either have to free up more storage or sync the app from your computer.

  • Mac app store, can't get rid of an app that I did not buy and it's listed under an unknown Apple ID

    Hello guys, I have a very rare issue with my Mac App Store application.
    Whenever I want to make an update of a piece of software that I've bought, Angry Birds apears as if I had it, when I haven't.
    The thing is, I want angry birds to desappear from my updates list taking in account that it does not belong to me.
    Beforehand very much
