Lost the APPSTORE on MAC BOOK PRO 10.7.5

I have updated, now running 10.7.5 and I have no APPSTORE. I know it 'can't be deleted' and I may have done something myself when I pulled the ghosted question mark off my dock that appeared where the APPSTORE used to be. I have searched using SPOTLIGHT, Looked in the Applications folder through finder, in the Applications folder on the dock. I still have Safari, which a lot of people seemed to have lost along with the Appstore.
I think it's preventing me from having access to a promotional deal on a piece of software that is only being offered through the App store. When I click on the link to the Apstore that's being provided by this company through this page:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crazytalk7/id551903255?ls=1&mt=12utm_source=dj_ct 7mac&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=partnership&utm_term=MacTab1&utm_source=WhatC ountsEmail&utm_medium=DJ%20All%20Subscribers%20-%20Last%20Updated%2020080416%20- %20AutoSync&utm_campaign=20120926%20-%20Wednesday%20-%206AM%20Reallusion%20eblas t
It opens iTunes and tells me "Product not avaiable in the U.S." and the Safari page just goes blank saying it can't open with a url starting with "macappstore".
There is no APP STORE in iTunes. When I click the menu under the APPLE in the left corner App Store is there and does nothing when I ckick it. Nothing opens, nothing tells me it's not working, nothing.
If I search the App Store for this product all I get is songs with the app title in the names, no apps and not the one I'm looking for.
I feel like I'm missing out on a really good deal on software I've lusted over for a long time.
Where can get a new App Store App???

Well that was pretty scarry. It took it's time, don't know when it finally finished but it re-installed and after two self starts it came back. Still no App Store anywhere and when I click on App Store in the Apple menu nothing happens.
I did back up with the time machine and I may just go back to a time when I know I had it and see what happens then.
This is enough for me, Thank you for your advice I do appreciate the effort.
Don't know what's wrong - miss Steve more than that I thought I would. I sure hope Apple isn't changing too much. Wife won't get a new computer because of the mess with FOXCONN, can't the richest company in the world do better then that?
Thanks again.

Moving music from the cloud to mac book pro

I want to move all my music from the cloud to my new mac book pro. can i do this without picking each song indiviually. 4000 songs.

Select all the tracks, Ctrl-click on the list and choose download from the resulting contextual menu.

I would to know what is the better option, mac book pro with CA on, or use with battery until it`s discharge

I have one doubts if is preferable work with mac book Pro all together with battery and to connect it when discharge or work with the connected to CA cable.
I read in somewhere apple do not recomended work with the CA cable all the time, but in other articles said that its no problem if you realize a complete cilce of discharge an charge one time at month,
thaks for help

Keep it plugged in when near a socket so you keep the charging cycles down on your LiPo (lithium polymer) cells / battery, but not plugged in all the time. When not being used for several hours, turn it off.
And best "tip" is if its near a socket,...plug it in as long as you can (especially at home) since cycle count on the battery are the "miles that wear out the tires (battery)", however again, not plugged in all or most of the time.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
"Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time."
General rule to remember of Lithium batteries is:
Never drain them LOW & never store them HIGH
While cycle count is commonly seen to be the “miles” on your Lithium Ion pack cell in your Macbook, which they are, this distinction is not a fine line at all, and it is a big misconception to “count charge cycles”
*A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 50-60% remaining of a 100% charge has better battery usage and care than another person who has 300 charge cycles at say 15% remaining on a 100% charge.
DoD (depth of discharge) is far more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook battery than any mere charge cycle count. *There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in general OR in specific.    As such, contrary to popular conception, counting cycles is not conclusive whatsoever, rather the amount of deep DoD on an averaged scale of its use and charging conditions.
(as a very rough analogy would be 20,000 hard miles put on a car vs. 80,000 good miles being something similar)
*Contrary to some myths out there, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot overcharge it when plugged in and already fully charged
*However if you don’t plan on using it for a few hours, turn it OFF (plugged in or otherwise) ..*You don’t want your Macbook both always plugged in AND in sleep mode       (When portable devices are charging and in the on or sleep position, the current that is drawn through the device is called the parasitic load and will alter the dynamics of charge cycle. Battery manufacturers advise against parasitic loading because it induces mini-cycles.)
Keeping batteries connected to a charger ensures that periodic "top-ups" do very minor but continuous damage to individual cells, hence Apples recommendation above:   “Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time”, …this is because “Li-ion degrades fastest at high state-of-charge”. This is also the same reason new Apple notebooks are packaged with 50% charges and not 100%.
LiPo (lithium polymer, same as in your Macbook) batteries do not need conditioning. However...
A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium cells the "80% Rule" ...meaning use 80% of the charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life.
Never let your Macbook go into shutdown and safe mode from loss of power, you can corrupt files that way, and the batteries do not like it.
The only quantified abuse seen to Lithium cells are instances when often the cells are repeatedly drained very low…. key word being "often"
The good news is that your Macbook has a safety circuit in place to insure the battery doesn’t reach too low before your Macbook will auto power-off. Bad news: if you let your Macbook protection circuitry shut down your notebook at its bottom, and you refrain from charging it for a couple days...the battery will SELF-DRAIN to zero (depending on climate and humidity)…and nothing is worse on a Lithium battery being low-discharged than self-draining down to and sitting at 0
Contrary to what some might say, Lithium batteries have an "ideal" break in period. First ten cycles or so, don't discharge down past 40% of the battery's capacity. Same way you don’t take a new car out and speed and rev the engine hard first 100 or so miles.
Proper treatment is still important. Just because LiPo batteries don’t need conditioning in general, does NOT mean they dont have an ideal use / recharge environment. Anything can be abused even if it doesn’t need conditioning.
From Apple on batteries:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1446
Storing your MacBook
If you are going to store your MacBook away for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (room temperature roughly 22° C or about 72° F). Make certain you have at least a 50% charge on the internal battery of your Macbook if you plan on storing it away for a few months; recharge your battery to 50% or so every six months roughly if being stored away. If you live in a humid environment, keep your Macbook stored in its zippered case to prevent infiltration of humidity on the internals of your Macbook which could lead to corrosion.

How to clear the cache from Mac Book Pro

What is the simplest way to clear out the cache from my Mac Book Pro?

I will also endorse Thomas_r's comments. If anything, I would use OnyX, which is a well known maintenance tool.
Beware that there is also an "onyxmac" website, which is malware and to be avoided...
The OnyX developer is Titanium software, here:

Since the price for mac book pro is much expensive than others for the same configuration, give me some reasons that why choose mac book pro?

I like Apple for both iPhone and iPad and I consider to buy a Mac book Pro recently. However, I haven't used mac book before. I have a alienware which is pretty good and I am much comfortable with it. I compared 2 laptops and I found for the same price, the configuration of alienware is much better than Mac book Pro.So why I need to buy the Mac book pro for a higher price? Don't tell me because it is Apple, tell me some details! For those of you who are familiar with mac book pro and loved apple deeply, please convince me!

I guess that really depends on what you would use it for, and how you use a computer. Alienware is geared for gaming and intense graphics displays, but a MBP is designed for general to hardcore users, and in my opinion, for multimedia purposes. One positive thing about Apple is that it works well with Apple hardware and software, and that it is user-friendly. Sony is like this too, that it works well with with Sony products, but my experience with Sony is not as user-friendly.
For me, if I were into Windows based gaming I would go with Alienware. If I wanted and used Windows based software and wanted a quality and long-lasting laptop, I would get a Sony. (There was a study on laptops in 2010, founded that Sony laptops outlasted the other brands (HP and Acer were at the bottom).)
Apple is more well-rounded and functions smoother compare to PCs. So, no pun intended, it's all apples and oranges.
If you are deciding which OS, you should based your decision on your needs, wants and functionality, and maybe long-term budget.
So for example, I'm not a computer gaming (that's what console gaming is for me). I like to compose music with my guitar and keyboard, like editing home videos, I'm an newsletter editor for my non-profit and HOA, I do statistics, I surf the web and stream media, and I do photography as a hobby. So for initial cost, ease of operations, quality, longevity, and total long-term cost, the MBP was my choice. I had considered Dell, Sony and Alienware. To me, Sony and Alienware was like buying a Cadillac, and Dell like a Buick. So I decided on a Lincoln. Apple best fit my lifestyle and long-term budgeting for computers.
FYI...Why I suggest long-term budgeting? Is because over the last decade, I've been through three desktops and four laptops. The Sony laptop outlasted them all with seven years, with only one hardware problem (two if you count the end). The worst ones are tied between HP and Compaq. Over the years my friends with Macs averaged seven to eight years of usage, so I estimated, I could have spent about the same or less by about $2,000 by buying two Macs: depending on configuration and models.
So there's my personal experience and opinion, of course. I currently have a Linux (for testing), Windows (wife uses it for gaming), and MBP at home.

The New Thinner Mac book Pro "15 in"

Hi All,
Im Simply a PC user,who started to like Applle Products Since i ever Using a iPhone 4
Basically Im a Graphic Designer,Like i told you im a Pc User,I want to upgrade Myself to Mac book Pro.Reading Rumours on Various Website Says there will be New Thinner Mac book Pro Available By end of April,So do you Guys Suggest me to Wait or go ahead and Purchase the Currently available thicker Mac book Pro "15 in"
Please Suggest me
Thanks Guys

It's just how your post reads, that may bother a few folks. You're asking a perfectly legit question, though... which is how to best invest in a MBP, and to me, at least, that's reasonable.
Personally, I love the current MBP design, and I don't know if I'd like something thinner as much. More importantly, though, Apple is going to release OSX Mountain Lion "this summer", and, if I had to purchase a new laptop now, I'd certainly wait until the units with Mountain Lion as the default OS have been out for a while. Hardware isn't supposed to be too affected by major OS releases, but you know, it always is. Apple will make some adjustments to their machinery to ensure ML runs smoothly. Count on it.
Besides, the next generation of displays will probably be better.

How to recover lost photos from my mac book pro

I had photos saved on my harddrvie under Pictures folder.
I think they were deleted by mistake and i don't know when but sure more than two months if that matters.
please help i need them. client's work.

TimeMachine is automatic
Anytimevyou attach an external drive it either adds to list to backup r asks to use fr backup
Any operating system has some file and system backup mechanism
And Yu job s to buy and keep two or more backup sets, especially when business or there are involved
Consider cloud backup, I think Apple iCloud is not suitable there are others that will backup photos and affordable
This forum is not the one devoted to the laptop serves like MacBook Pro (Mac Pro is desktop tower workstations)

CS5 pixelation on the retina display mac book pro

Is there an update for CS5? I need it for photoshop, illustrator and indesign.
Thanks!

Is the update for Retina display support still in the works? - it would be great to know. I just bought a Macbook Pro with retina display and would like to upgrade to the latest retina update. - I'm using CS5 photoshop, illustrator, inDesign, acrobat on it now and it's very pixely. . . . not so good, . . . I have an iMac that I use at home and CS5 is fine on mountain lion. it's very nice in fact. - Just would like to know! -

The white light on the front of Mac book pro is not on?...is the end near?

Screen has started to black out

No, it's not December 2012 yet. The Mayan witch doctors didn't mention May.....
Is the Mac going to sleep, or is it shutting down?

Is the 17 inch better than the 15 inch mac book pro?

Which one is better to get and use? 15 or 17 inch?

I have both. One is not necessarily better than the other, really depends on what you plan on using the computer for. Even though the 17" is classified as a portable computer, IMO it's not very portable at all. Go to a store, view handle each for yourself. The 17" is quite large, mine sits on a desk as a desktop replacement. In terms of performance, equipped the same(processor, RAM & GPU), there is only about a 3% performance gain with the 17". Not enough to write home about. The big advantage of the 17" is screen real estate. But, if you want portability, get the 15".

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external HD from the mbp, I get the following pop up window: The disk "external hard drive A" couldn't be ejected because "Lightroom" is using it. Quit that application and try to eject this disk again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Select Catalog screen pops up but doesn't list my external hard drive A as a choice.
I've reviewed Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart Previews Lightroom 5 web page and still haven't been able to figure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Your internal HDD. by default, is named 'Macintosh HD'. From what information you supplied, it looks like there is already a Lightroom catalog installed on you local (internal) HDD using the standard naming convention Adobe uses as well as a Lightroom catalog on your external drive which you created. To be sure of which catalog Lightroom is loading when it starts up, To do this, start Lightroom as you normally would. After it starts, select the Lightroom menu item, then select the Catalog Preferences item and finally, navigate to the General tab. The Location information will tell you exactly what catalog Lightroom is opening by default. This will likely be the Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog on your external HDD. Once that is confirmed, you are ready to proceed. As an additional test/verification, you can shut down Lightroom and, this time, start Lightroom while holding down the ALT/OPTION key. This will cause Lightroom to pause and display a screen which will allow you to chose a different catalog to open. Navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file. When Lightroom comes up, there should be no previews or folders as this catalog should be empty. Now you can be certain which catalog is being used and which catalog has all your data and you are ready to migrate your current catalog. Shut down Lightroom.
To migrate your current catalog, use Finder to locate your Photography Mac Book Pro Versions folder on your external drive. Select the folder and select COPY from the context menu. Next, use Finder to navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder on you internal HDD. You can start at the Macintosh HD level and work your way down by opening each level (Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures). Select the /Pictures folder and then select PASTE... from the context menu. When the COPY/PASTE is complete, you should see the following files on the Macintosh HD:
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/ and
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions
The Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder will contain the empty default catalog the Adobe created when Lightroom was installed and Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions will contain a copy of the catalog you created on your external HDD.
You are almost done now. Make sure your external drive is still attached for this step. Restart Lightroom using the ALT/OPTION key again. When the Select Catalog screen appears, select the Choose a Different Catalog button (lower left side). When you do, a Finder window will open to allow you to navigate to a catalog of your choosing. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions and select the file Photography Mac Book Pro Version.lrcat. This is the copy you just created. Select the Open button and Lightroom should start. You should see all of your previews and settings just as before. Also, in the left hand panel, all of your folder should show up and none of them should be dimmed and none of your previews should display a small exclamation point badge. Either a dimmed folder name or an exclamation point badge indicates that Lightroom can't find the associated image file. If everything looks good, go to the Lightroom menu, select Preferences and then select the General tab. Under Default Catalog, select an option to either load the LAST catalog opened or select the Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog from the drop down. Shut down Lightroom and then restart it normally. This time, when Lightroom starts, you should be viewing the new copy of your catalog. You can confirm this by looking at the General tab on the Catalog Preferences screen (Lightroom/Catalog Preferences menu items). Shut down Lightroom once again and this time, eject your external drive before restarting. This time, your folders in the left hand panel will be dimmed but you should be able to work with your smart previews. If Lightroom should display a Select Catalog screen with the external drive detached, double check your settings as it indicates Lightroom is still looking at the copy of the catalog on the external drive rather than the new copy you made.
Finally, if you are seeing dimmed folders and/or exclamation point badges with the external drive attached, this indicates a problem. You can select any folder and select Update Folder Location from the context menu. This will allow you to navigate to the copy on the external drive and select it. Lightroom will then update the catalog (select to synchronize the content). This will not only clear the dimmed folder problem but also remove the exclamation point badges for all photos in that missing folder. However, it may indicate that not all went well with the copy of the catalog so make sure to verify all went well. You can use the Get Info option on the two folders. You should see the same number of files/folders for both the copy on the internal drive as well as on the external drive but you can't rely on the byte count because of the possibility of differences between the geometry of the two drives. Hope this all helps!
