I did the software update on my mac, but i still dont have the "App Store" in the dock :(

i really need the app store

i just did that a minute ago.. got sidetracked and played chess, but its not there. My friend said something about lepoard... also does it help if i said im running on 10.5.8?
The Mac App Store requires a minimum of 10.6.6 to run, if you are running Leopard you need to purchase Snow Leopard and upgrade. The upgrade is $29 and available from any authorized Apple Reseller or directly from Apple. No you cannot download it, you must purchase the dvd.

  • HT1338 I want to download OS x 7 to my mac but I do not have an app store to find this download.

    I have an older mac book with the OS X 5.8. I just recently purchased the iphone 5 and was going to back my phone up (contacts, ect) itunes notified that i need OS x 7 or greater. I went to itunes.com to download this upgrade. To download I have to go to the app store to purchase it for $20, yet I dont have appstore app on my computer so can not ind here i can download this update.

    You don't have to go to App Store to buy 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.   Follow the notes below.
    First, check that your machine is suitable for Snow Leopard.   It needs to be a Mac computer with an Intel processor.Double check by reading the specs.
                Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
    To buy the DVD, if you are from the USA go to http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard.
    In Europe or otherwise substitute your national code in place of /us above.
    In the UK see … Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (UK)
    Before you start upgrading, back up your files.
    Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, if your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater.   Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  and follow with a software update to pick up the most recent security updates.
    This will take you to Snow Leopard and put the App Store in your applications folder.
    Good luck.

  • About a week ago I did a software update on my iPad, but I can't delete any apps, and it won't let me purchase or install any new apps either, what can i do??

    Hi there, a week or so ago I did the software update for iOS 7.1.1, but since then, i can't seem to install new apps from the app store, and I can't delete any of my apps. I have already tried to reboot my iPad, i have removed my Apple ID, then did the reboot, and logged in again with the Apple ID, but still no change.
    What can I do? I was thinking maybe the update didn't install correctly, and that I should try to reinstall it again, but I'm new to the iPad and it's software so I don't even know if it's possible...

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
    My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done.

  • HT1338 It says there is no updates for my mac, but I do not have the newest version. It is needed for my new iphone 5.

    Why wont my Macbook update? It says there are no updates but I am not running the most current update.

    No upgrade to the next version of OS X has ever been free.
    Updates to the version you are already running are free.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

  • I need to change my server so I can do a software update on my mac but I can't get rid of it.

    I've tried everything to change the server but it won't.

    Sig is right — reclaiming space on your hard drive should be a matter of looking for the largest files you can delete, not starting with applications. I have 200+ applications on my hard drive, and altogether they occupy less than 14GB of space. Just a handful of them — Acrobat Pro, iPhoto, Aperture, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Adobe Media encoder — are larger than 500MB apiece, and if I disposed of all of those, I'd only get 5.6GB back. My Utilties folder contains 78 apps, and it only amounts to 1.1 GB.
    If you have any feature-length movies on your hard drive, those should be the first things you trash or move to an external drive.

  • I bought a second hand G4 iBook with iLife 09 on it.  I have copied iLife to my new Macbook Pro. The applications would not open, so I did a software update and update all three applications, but they will still not open.  Can anyone help?

    The seller should have given you the original disk so that you can reinstall as needed. But it likely was a single-user license (which really means single computer) so you can only have a copy on one computer at a time. If the seller didn't give you the disk he is probably still using the software on his new Mac. Your best option to get any of the iWork apps to use in OS X 10.6.6 or later is through the Mac App Store. You can then install them on any Mac you have that has access to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID.

    Good Morning,
    I just did a software update on my phone (finally) last night and now my phone will not come on.  It keeps showing the charger pointing up to a blue circle with iTunes inside and will not go any further.  Can ANYONE help me please???

    The phone is in restore mode and the picture is telling you what to do. Connect the phone, by cable, to iTunes in the computer you normally use for syncing, and retore the phone.

    To get beyond 10.7.5, you must go to the App Store and purchase an upgrade.
    Currently Mavericks is free

  • The software update on my Mac has frozen it completely

    The software update on my Mac has frozen it completely at the grey screen. I have tried everything to exit it and nothing is working! Help please!!! I've tried alt command esc, forcing the computer to shut off then restart, letting the power drain, nothing. I can't get the computer to even give me the beach ball of doom, it's this grey circle of perpetual nothing.

    Hello Heatherb90,
    It sounds like you are unable to boot your computer after a recent software update. I would use the following troubleshooting from the article named:
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2570
    Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
    Note: "Peripheral devices" refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
    Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
    Start up your Mac.
    If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Make sure the device is powered if it needs to be to operate correctly. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
    Note: If you have multiple peripheral devices and the issue only occurs when they are all connected, but not when each device is the only peripheral connected, see the Additional Information section below.
    If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.
    If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).
    Start with this troubleshooting and work your way down the article as needed.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • The software update on my mac has been going on for like 3-4 hours and it still looks like it loading... don't know what to do about it

    the software update on my mac has been going on for like 3-4 hours and it still looks like it loading... don't know what to do about it?

    Hi, Welcome to the forums,
    Is it the software update checking that you are talking about?
    If its this can you just select 'Cancel' to stop it? or force quit?
    It possible that the computer has lost its connection to the Apple servers and just needs to restart the process.
    Or,
    Is it a particular software update that you are running that has frozen up?

Maybe you are looking for
