I can't reinstall the app store application

I've deleted (foolishly) the app store as it wasn't working properly - it's was completely removed, not just removed from the dock. Now i'm having a lot of difficulty reinstalling the app store application. I need help please!
After some googling, the suggested method was to download the 10.6.6 combo update package and use pacifist to install the app store component. However this didn't work, the app store won't open after this process. I then tried installing the app store component using pacifist from the 10.10.2 combo update to bring the app store up to date, but still it won't open.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've got a 'problem report' if that would help.

  • How can I reinstall the app store?? Help

    When my iPad updated I lost my app store..how can I reinstall

    You cannot delete it.
    It is likley on another page, in a folder, or you have restrictions set.
    Check all of these, they are covered in the manual.

  • How can I reinstall the App Store?

    I have lost all the programs except safari, how can I reinstall everything?

    In order to reinstall the applications that are installed as part of the system, you'll need to reinstall OS X. While the article linked below is written for OS X Mavericks (10.9), the steps are the same for Lion (10.7) through Yosemite (10.10).

  • I was wondering, is there an application I can download from the App Store that allows me to plug in a USB cord from my Iphone and print from any computer?

    I was wondering, is there an application I can download from the App Store that allows me to plug in a USB cord from my Iphone and print from any printer?

    Sorry but no. iOS does not support connecting a printer via USB, only via WiFi, and without such support there's no way a developer can build an app to provide such capability.

  • How can I change the language of the App Store application for my ipod touch?

    How can I change the language of the App Store application for my ipod touch?

    These instructions are for changing the language for the Ipod Touch, but they don't change the language for the App store and the Reminders Application. 
    I think these two might be driven by the IP address of your location.  In my case, I am in Spain and have my Ipod Touch set to English, but for the App store and Reminders, it appears in Spanish.
    I would like to be able to change them to English if possible.  I don't see any options within those applications to make this change.
    Does anyone know how to make these changes?
    Many thanks.

  • I can not open the app store

    I had the app store but I deleted it from the dock and can no longer find it on my computer. I cant seem to re download it either

    If you are running Snow Leopard v10.6, if it's not in your Applications folder reinstall the App Store using the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed
    If the future, if you post for help, it really helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thanks!

  • 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.

  • HT1338 How can I reinstall the app?

    An application didn't install completely and I can't remove that app so I can't reinstall it. How can I reinstall the app?
    A dialog came up saying I have to send the app to the wastebasket before reinstalling it. But when I tried that it gave me an error code 8062. I couldn't find any info on error on 8062 nor could I find anything to correct it. It appears I'm at catch 22. The app is Easy Password Storage.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thank you.

  • How do you reinstall the app store to your ipod

    how do you reinstall the app store to your ipod

    That large yellow font is very hard to read.
    The App Store app can't be deleted but can be hidden by Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions
    Have you tried using the Spotlight search. Maybe you just can find it.
    If you go to Settings is ther a Setting for the App store?

  • After creating an alias, the App Store application has disappeared from the Launchpad. Huh?!

    So, I opened the Applications folder, then selected the App Store application and created an alias of it.
    Now, when I activate the Launchpad the original app is nowhere to be found. The alias is there, but the application proper is not displayed.
    It IS displayed (as well as the alias) in the Applications folder when I open that in the Finder.
    I have no idea how to remedy this. Logging out and back in is fruitless. And a reboot makes no difference.
    Any ideas, please?  Any one?  Bueller?  ;-)

    Yes. The alias works.  And the App Store application (which is still in the Applications folder) also works.
    Interestingly, I just tried a similar thing with the Adobe Reader app...created an alias of the application in the Applications folder. The same thing happened. The Adobe application disappeared from the Launchpad, replaced by the working alias. The fix for that was to delete the alias from the Applications folder. Then copy the Adobe app onto the desktop and finally copy it back into the Applications folder, answering "Replace" the original when prompted.
    Of course, when attempting to copy the App Store app back into the Applications folder, the process cannot be completed because the OS says... “App Store” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X."

  • I can't access the app store - I get the following messages - error 1004 or 100 or 4 or unknown error - help!!!

    I can't access the app store - I get the following messages - error 1004 or 100 or 4 or unknown error - help!!!
    I've disabled the firewalls, the virus protection, the application protection - nothing helps.

    I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
    All else fails? Restore it.

  • Can't enter the app store!

    I don't know why, but if I click on the App Catalog application, it goes into the page, but then comes back out with a message saying "The action could not be completed. Try again later"
    It's been doing this for the last couple of months, and I don't understand why i can't enter the app store?

    Read this.Worked for me.

    I can't open the app store, safari the mail app, youtube app and the maps app. they try to open then close very quickly. what can I do?

    Try downloading another app - any free app - that seems to reset something and the apps may start working again. Try that first. If that doesnt work, try these steps
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
