I delete my app store for my macbook air, how to recover

i delete my app store for my macbook air, how to recover?

The Mac App Store comes with Mac OS X, so you have to reinstall it. Open  > About this Mac, and tell us the OS X version you have.
If it's 10.7 or 10.8, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting and reinstall OS X. You won't lose any file, but make a backup
If it's 10.6 or 10.5, you need the Mac OS X DVD and an external optical drive or a Mac or PC with Remote Install. Insert the DVD, hold the C key while your Mac is starting and reinstall Mac OS X. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version.
If you have a Time Machine backup, you can restore it instead of reinstalling

  • I cant log onto app store through my macbook air - an unknown error keeps occuring

    Ive been trying to log onto the app store and i cant manage to get on - the system keeps saying that there is an unknown error when i try to log on. I have tried to do the whole reset the system using the alt and power button (i bought this mac second hand so i also want to restore to factory settings). I was thinking that the reason app store wouldnt work is because the previous user might not have reset the system properly? i can log onto all the other applictions with my apple ID perfectly fine, its just with the app store. any help is hugely appreciated!!!

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

    I accidentally deleted my App Store. How do I get it back?

    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.

  • How to delete the saved score in a game downloaded from app store for my macbook and restart the game from the beginning ? please help

    HOW to delete the saved score in a game downloaded from the app store to restart the game from the begining with fresh scores.
    i am unable to do so. please help

    In system preferences, create a new account again, using the short name of the "deleted" account. You may be prompted to re-use the old home folder. Log out and log in to test it worked. Then log in as your new admin, and do the delete process again. Don't choose to securely delete this time - just a regular delete.
    When you have time to spare, go to Disk Utility, and use the Erase tab to securely erase free space on the drive. This will accomplish the same thing that your originally tried to do. Use the fastest method - anything more secure is a waste of time. You may need to run it overnight - it can take several hours.

  • The app store for my macbook is not working

    I cannot download previous purchases, imovie, iphoto, garage band.

    These three apps came free on your Mac. When you first set your Mac up you needed to open the Mac App Store and accept these apps into your account. If you did not do that, even though there are updates available for these apps, they cannot be updated because you must have used one of them without accepting them into your account.

  • I can not purchase from app store with my macbook air, I can not purchase from app store with my macbook air

    I bought a macbook air from a friend and the account is under his name. I wish to change owner information so that I can purchase from app store
    HELP!
    thank you for your time
    Chris

    The old owner needs to go to  Apple's website to "edit your Support Profile" to delete ownership registration of your product(s).
    You then register your "new" device, also online. Once the old owner has deleted ownership, the serial number is freed for a user (new owner-you) to add it. You should obtain/have an Apple ID first.
    On your computer, in the App Store Application, sign-out the old account. Create a new account (or sign in your account - your Apple ID).

  • HT1689 I bought an app on my iphone, and want to use it on my MacBook Air.  When I click on the icon on the MacBook, it won't open.  Do I have to buy the same app again for my MacBook Air?

    I bought a real estate app on my iphone.  I want to use it on my MacBook Air because of the larger screen.  I see the icon in my Itunes account, and when I click it to open it, it won't do anything.  Do I have to purchase the app again to use on my MacBook Air.  Thanks!

    The app you got only works with iPhones, iPods touch and iPads, but not with Macs. That's because Macs use a different operating system that requires different applications, so you have to purchase the application for the Mac
