I deleted my mac app store and now I don't know how to get it back? What do I do?

Hello,
I recently tried to download a game from the app store and upon completion of the download I got an error regarding something to do with a "hash". Anyhow upon further researching on how to fix it, I found a solution which told me to download and install an app called "AppCleaner" and use it to clean/delete the app store.
Well, as a new mac owner I clearly didn't realize the consequences. While I did that and left the download for the night while I slept, I woke up to find that I had the game but I had lost the app store. I couldn't open it as I got a message saying something along the lines of "you can't open the app store because it's in the trash bin. Please move it from the trash bin" (paraphrasing). I checked my trash bin, and yes it appeared there, however the thumbnail for the app store had changed from the regular one to a picture of a piece of paper and pencil. Moving it to my desktop proved useless as it still didn't work. When I would run it from desktop, it would show up on the task bar at the bottom for about a second then leave.
I've already tried using the software update found in the menu from the apple in the top left as well as verifying disk permissions in the disk utility. I've also downloaded OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 Client Combo found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484 to no avail. For your reference I'm using a 13" macbook pro bought brand new 4 days ago running OS X Lion 10.7.3. If there's anything I'm missing it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

hello , i did exactly the same thing , and my app store icon look like this :

  • I deleted the HP Smart Web Printing (but kept the link) and now I don't know how to get it back.

    I had 23 Microsoft updates and 12 did not update. I am 73 and not very computer literate. I finally (accidentally) discovered that, at least part of the problem, was that I must have installed Explorer 9. It told me to update to a new driver/software. I was trying to do it step-by-step and that's when I deleted the Smart Web Printing. On the second step of trying to fix it, it would not update because it says it doesn't support 64 bit (which I have). It only supposed 32 bit. HELP. I can't figure out how to get my smart web printing back. Also, I don't know how to get my system back to a lower Explorer since I apparently have 9.
    This question was solved.

    Hello BarbG,
    HP no longer offers the Smart Web Print software available for download since the change to Smart Print. Rather than trying to get around this maybe we can look at at least resolving the issues you are having.
    For one the Smart Print software can be found here
    HP Smart Web Printing Software Replaced by HP Smart Print
    Available on the link are step by step instructions on installation and setup of Smart Print, including videos on how to use Smart Print so you can become accustomed to using it.
    Now before we get into that what you will want to do is verify that you are truely running IE9 64 bit versus the 32 bit. HP Smart Print only supports 32 bit so we want to make sure we are using that.
    To check the version of IE you are running follow these steps.
    1. Launch Internet Explorer
    2. Click on Help
    3. Select About Internet Explorer
    4. If the version of Internet Explorer has 64 bit next to it then you are running the 64 bit version. If it doesn't say then you are running the 32 bit version and are good!
    If you are running the 64 bit version we next need to see if you already have the 32 bit version on your computer. 
    1.Click on Start
    2. Select All programs
    3. Look for Internet Explorer (64-bit)
    Just below that entry should be another entry called "Internet Explorer" This version of Internet Explorer should be the 32 bit version and you can verify this by repeating the before mentioned steps.
    Once you verify that you are running the 32 bit version of IE then you can proceed with installing the Smart Print software.
    Also note a few other additional places to check and run IE 32 bit are below:
    Go to start->all program->accessories, IE 32 bit version should be located here
    You can also find the IE 32 bit version in this path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe."

  • My iPad calendar has stopped syncing to my iPhone calendar. I didn't change any settings. I have now switched off the iCloud calendar on my iPhone but don't know how to get it back.

    I added items to my iPad calendar yesterday but they wouldn't copy into the calendar on my IPhone. I switched both devices off and on again but to no avail. The calendars were all ticked the same. I have now deleted the iCloud calendar from the iPhone but don't know how to get it back.
    My Errands app is also not syncing. If I mark something as Done on the iPad, it's not removing them on the iPhone version.

    Hola, buen dia, Ignacio. Saludos desde México.
    To get the Mac App Store back you will need to manually download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo;
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    It is safe to install this over your current installation of 10.6.7. It will reinstall the Mac App Store, as well as fill in any gaps that your installation my have. It is a common troubleshooting step.
    Ciao

    I believe apple no longer accepts debit cards in some countries. Try a credit card instead.  Go to settings/iTunes and App Store tap on the ID then then tap on view apple ID and log in then tap on account info and have a look at the billing options available to you

  • HT4623 I updated my iphone 4s iOS 6 however my app store is now in german.  I don't know how to get to back to english & now it won't update any of my purchases.  Please help

    I updated my iphone 4s iOS 6 however my app store is now in german.  I don't know how to get to back to english & now it won't update any of my purchases.  Please help

    I also had the same issue (I downloaded IOS6 on my Ipad in Germany, when I was travelling).  I could not get into the Settings/ITunes & App Store and log out of my account as the Apple ID was greyed out and nothing happened when I clicked on my user id.  I then had to go into iTunes and found that my user id at bottom of the screen in ITunes, click on my user id and assume that the german words meant to log out.  I then was able to log back in and English was restored in the iTunes and App store.

    Not sure I understand how Migration Assistant is doing anything. I thought MA was for connecting your computer to another computer or volume and transferring files. I'm just not sure how you're using it. Like I said earlier, everything you do on your Mac overwrites more of what data may have been recoverable if there even was any. Not to kick you when you're down but this is exactly he kind of a situation where a time machine or other back up would have saved you a lot of heartache. I'm sorry but I don't think I can be of any help :-(
