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.

I'm not able to download the App Store with a software update. How can I get the App Store on my Mac?

How can I get the App Store on my Mac?
It's because I want to set OSX Lion on my MacbookPro.

As you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard.

How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.

If you can... you need to Upgrade your OS X to 10.6.8
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

Can not open the app store on my mac since new update

can not open the app store on my mac since new update

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A remark such as "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I expected B; but I got C." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.

How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?

How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?
The old ID is already grayed in the box for my ID and it does not allow me to type in my new ID.

I appreciate your effort and realize I did not provide a lot of background.
My issue began when I unintentionally managed to add an additional .com onto my new apple ID and the system then incorrectly verified this "none existent" address. Following days of effort and emails to Apple support I finally ended up getting set up with my new ID on iTunes.
The next problem was my App store login continued to have the "old" ID grayed into the signin and since I had changed it to a new ID, I could not login at the App Store.
I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with a total of 3 Apple reps without a resolution to me problem.
The last Apple rep, Chad wanted to be able to take a screen shot of what I was telling him, which made no sense to me but I was willing to do what ever was required to solve the problem. Unfortunately, Chad hung up or somehow disconnected before I received the email required for allowing a screenshot. After calling back and adding another 5+ minutes invested, I decided to attempt to change back to my old ID.
Once I had changed my ID back to the old one, I could download updates and purchases.
I realize my question was asking a lot but my hope was someone would have some idea as to how to correct the problem Apple Support could not. It seems to me Apple needs to make a correction on their end but it is now into week two of attempting to solve the problem and I am pretty much disenchanted with Apple Support due to the amount of time and effort already invested and lack of progress.
Thanks for your suggestion. I think it was a good one considering the lack of other information.

How do I get an App store icon for Mac on my dashboard

how do I get an App store icon for Mac on my dashboard

Are you on 10.6.8 or Lion? It should have been placed there automatically during the install; otherwise, simply go to your Applications folder and drag the icon to the dock.
If you're not on one of those OS versions, post back with your version.

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.

How can I get my App Store to open so I can download Lion?

I want to download Lion from the Mac App Store. The App Store does not open. It has never opened but I never used it so didn't care. Now I want to download Lion but I can't get the Lion App because the Store won't open. It just hangs and then you get the error notice to try again.
What do I do about this? My Applecare ran out on my iMac in February so I have no coverage. What do I have to do to get it open so I an get Lion? I know a lot of people had this problem, but I don't know how...or if...they solved it.

DL and install the 10.6.8 v 1.1 COMBO update, repair permissions, restart, and try the store again. If still no go, try http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/

How to i get the App Store onto my mac if it doesn't have it?

i currently just bought a new iphone 5. I would like to update my MAC OSx but i can't because everything is done through the "app store" on the computer. My computer doesn't seem to have that function. Is there a way to get it put onto my computer?

If you are running v10.7 Lion on your Mac as your profile suggests, then the App Store should be installled.
Three ways to access the App Store.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click App Store.
Or, from your Dock
Or launch the App Store from your Applications folder.
If you still can't locate the App Store, installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) will reinstall the App Store for you.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.

Can't get to App Store to download Mavericks

I've been trying for more than a week to get into the App Store to download Mavericks. I've reset my Apple ID, done everything I can think of to do, but am still unable to get the App Store to open on my 15" MacBook Pro. I'm running 10.8.5 on a 2.3GHz Core i7 processor on a computer that's a little more than a year old. What am I doing wrong?

How can I get the App store to work?

I cannot get my App store to work on OS 10.7.4 I don't know how I am going to upgrade with the new system. I thought the new up grade would help fix the problem, but now I don't know who to get the upgrade because my app store won't load. I am getting the screen that says
One Moment Please.
Connenction to the iTunes Store.
Loading...
If I tunes doesn't open, click the iTunew application icon in you Dock or Windows Task Bar. To download iTunes, Please click here.
I have tried sign off and back on. My iTunes works just fine. Only the App store doesn't work. I have tried the terminal message thing. I have tried to find my file. I bought Lion from the app store. PLEASE help I am so frustrated. I want to cry. When I as for help they send me to the boards to the support thing, but nothing on those pages have helped me. I know there are other post, but I don't know how to just dump eveything reload and then back up from my time capsule. How do I do that? I will that we could just reboot the App store.
Thanks

Incase one is wondering... I found the answers in this entry
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18810192#18810192
I tired the
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/*
at first because the person was working out of lion but it kept saying not found, but I did everything else here next. I added the debug thing and didn't work but I didn't. Then I deauthorized my computer iTunes and reauthorized then signed in and out. Did not work. I then ran the permission part of Utilities and then ran the repair. after this I copied all three lines together pasted them into Terminal. After that it worked. I am so happy right now. I think I had to repair the disc to get it right. I wrote everything I did incase it was a combination of every thing.
This is how to enable the debug menu that is part of the thread.
Quit the Mac App Store
Launch the Terminal (located at /Applications/Utilities/)
Type the following command into the Terminal and then hit return:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
Relaunch the Mac App Store, the Debug menu is next to “Help” in the menubar
So now to the interesting part: what me helped was to select "clear cookies" in the debug menu first, and second to select "reset Application"
This was all found in that thread, but it is 11 pages.... this might be more helpful. There are other suggestions in the tread if this doesn't work for you.
