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..

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.

Is OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard available in the Mac app store, because I can't find it ??

I have now Leopard on my Macbook pro. I need to install snow leopard first before to have the possibility to install Lion.
But I can't find snow leopard on the Mac App Store ....
How should I do ??

The Mac App Store was only introduced at the 10.6.6 update. As you need Snow Leopard before you can access the App Store, it's hardly going to be available there, is it?
You have to buy the retail Snow Leopard DVD. That is available from Apple stores or the Apple online store (as distinct from the App Store) for about $30.
It will also be available from Amazon.
The installer is 10.6.3, so you'll need to use the combo update to get to 10.6.8.

I don't have the Mac app Store in my computer, how i can download! (mac os x 10.6.8)

i don't know how update or download the app: MAC APP STORE. i have the app but every time i open, that closes. Plues the icon is a blank sheet of paper whit two pencils.. help!!

First, reinstall Mac OS X 10.6.8 with the Combo edition > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399 Then, you should be able to use the Mac App Store.
If it doesn't work, reinstall Mac OS X. To do that, insert the Snow Leopard DVD, start your computer holding the C key and reinstall OS X. You won't lose anything. After reinstalling Mac OS X, open  > Software Update, and install 10.6.8

I don't know how to reinstall the Mac App Store after I deleted it on my Mac!

HELP! I deleted the Mac App Store because it hasn't been working for a few days now, every time I tried to download an app it said "Connection Failed" my internet is working and connected properly, I type in all the correct info for my apple ID/Password, it wouldn't let me download any apps and this has gone on for a few days already, so I decided to delete the Mac App Store and reinstall it, but I can't reinstall it, I have to download the whole latest version again, which I can't because you download it thru the Mac app store! By the way i have the latest version for mac, i think heres my version: Mac OS X version 10.9.4, now i don't know what to do..... I'm i gonna have to take this to the apple store and ask? If so what will they say? Or does anyone have a solution? Please leave a response has this happened to anyone else?

OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X Heres the link if anyone else had the same problem!! This is if you deleted not only the Mac App Store, but iTunes, Calendar, whatever came with the Mac (Apps that came already installed on the Mac), if you deleted one of those then you have to reinstall the Mac OS, Note: This one is for Mac OS X (Maverick) my version is 10.9.4, go to that link and follow the instructions if you have Mac OS X (Maverick). Other help: Common Mistake: If you delete the app from the dock then just go to finder and applications folder and drag the app back onto the dock(it was just deleted from the dock NOT your system/computer). Hope that helps others who had the same problem.

Why is the Mac App Store loading the wrong Apple ID when I try to redownload my copy of Lion?

Pretext:
I purchased my MacBook Pro 17" Back in March of 2011 from MicroCenter in Madison Heights, MI. Later I purchase OS X Lion 10.7 from the Mac App Store on July 23rd, 2011 under my Account along with a couple of other programs. I know it is under my account because, I have redownloaded the OS X Lion Installer twice before (10.7.1 and 10.7.2), making my own bootable copies on USB drives as emergency copies.
Now my Apple ID has never changed, the password is still the same as when I set it up back when I signed up for my iTunes Music Store account, the only thing changed is my payment options (reissued debit cards, and a bank switch). The account has always been mine alone, never part of any family account or anything of the sort. Outside of that, nothing has ever been editted on my accounts.
Last month my father decides to finally update from his 2002 Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver) to a new MacBook Pro a month ago. I show him how to make a bootable USB stick so he can always have an immediate backup installer. Both him and I are on AT&T which likes to cap bandwidth so remote installs are an insane proposition. He makes his own bootable USB stick of 10.7.3., and in an effort to save bandwidth I borrow it and make a duplicate.
Now I did boot from the copy of the USB stick, but never installed, I just wanted to make sure it loaded just in case. Anyway, I quit of out the installer return to my usual start up disk (OCZ Vertex 3 120GB) and continue on. Eventually I download the 10.7.3 update through the System Update. All is well and fine. Couple weeks later, I decide to make another fully bootable USB stick, go to redownload from the App Store (new AT&T billing cycle) and now it is asking me for my father’s Apple ID and Password. It refuses to take my Apple ID and password and tells me there is an error and tells me to try again shortly.
So I turn on the Mac App Store Debug Menu, clear cookies, and reset the app. I try to redownload again, but his Apple ID is still on my machine. He has never used this machine, not once. How do I fix this?
Any help would be appreciated.

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 can't get the mac app store. There's no software update availiable and it seems i can't upgrade to Mac OS X Lion without that.

There's no mac app store availiable to download for me.
I want to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion, but without that mac app store it seems to be impossible.
I did all software updates but never got that mac app store. So what can I do now?

THis is because you have two OS X upgrade steps. First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard ($29 us, disk only, no download).
Once you've upgraded to Snow Leopard, and run Software Update to get to 10.6.8 then you'll have the Mac App Store and can take the second OS X upgrade step to Lion 10.7.2.

Everytime i try to open the mac app store it doesn't connect

I've just downloaded the new ios x software mountain lion. I am trying to get a few new apps from the mac app store. However everytime I open the mac app store application it dooesn't start and the error. "cannot connect to the mac app store" appears. Does this have anything to do with Apple currently updating the system or is there really a problem. If there is then can somebody help me out getting it working.

I had found this when I had the same problem:
Close the App Store (make sure to Quit)
Open Keychain Access from the Applications > Utilities folder
Click on System Roots on the upper left panel
Click on Certificates from the lower left panel
Scan through the list of certificates on the right and look for any with a blue “+” symbol overlaid on the icon (these have custom trust settings, which might be wrong).
For some reason just setting them to Use System Defaults doesn’t make the settings apply, so repeat the following steps for all certificates with the blue “+”
Double Click on the certificate to show the info panel
Click on the triangle next to Trust to reveal the Trust settings
Change the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) setting to No Values Specified
Close the info panel, you should be prompted for the administrators password.
Double Clock on the same certificate again
Expand the Trust settings
Change the When using this certificate setting to Use System Defaults
Close the info panel, and again enter the administrators password.
Repeat this for all of the certificates with the blue “+”
When done, restart the App Store and see if you can access Updates.

Can't download the mac app store?

I went to ''Software Update'' and everything, and it still isn't working. I've done it over and over. Please help.

You didn't say what operating system you have, however, assume you have Snow Leopard 10.6, since OS X Leopard 10.5 and earlier can't access the mac app store.
You need to have OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard or later for the mac app store application to work. You can download the combo 10.6.8 update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 which will have the mac app store application included.

Is there a section in the Mac App Store, that is for apps that sync across their respective iOS apps?

Is there a section in the Mac App Store, that is for apps that sync across their respective iOS apps?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
I have been using the Mac App Store from day one and have never seen this area of which you speak. There are a number of apps where the developer has created both a Mac version and an iOS version, but I haven't a clue how you would do a search of the Mac App Store to find them.

Why isn't safari 6.04 showing up in the update section of the mac app store?

i am running the latest Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
I ran Software Update and and update under the Mac App Store but there
is no Safari 6.04 but only an update for iPhoto. And there is not Java update
from Apple either.
What gives?
it showed for some people and for some it didn't.
I wonder why?
I hope by the end of the week I can be able to download it from
the Mac App Store.

devnull66, you are a star!
I switched from a my standard account to an administrative account and checked for updates and then they showed up in the App Store. I didn't update yet though. I switched back to my standard account and checked for updates again to see what would happen and there they were so I was able to complete the updates from my standard account.
In my case I also just upgraded from Lion to Miuntain Lion this past weekend. I just did an upgrade in-place over top of Lion, usually I do clean installs with major upgrades. When I switched to the Administrative account, this was the first time since the upgrade, there was a dialogue box on screen asking me if I wanted to log in to my Apple ID. I just clicked continue in this case to continue to my administrative account with out logging in.

Cannot connect to; Software Update, iTunes or the Mac App Store.

I updated to Lion on launch day and had problems with Software Update, iTunes and the Mac App Store connecting to the internet.
I was completely connected to the interent, so people told me to wait it out as the servers were probably struggling.
However, it's been two weeks and I still get this message:
It's the same with iTunes as well as the mac app store.
I'm at a loss as I can't update my computer.
Anyone else have the same problem?

same problem here
This solution work fine with me :
1. Systems Preferences -> Network
2. Under "Wi-Fi", click on the "Advanced" button.
3. Under the "DNS" tab, add the Google Public DNS - 8.8.8.8
4. Click OK, then click Apply.
5. Turn WiFi OFF, then turn it back ON again.
