Mac App Store categorization to open

I find the app categorization to broad/open for interpretation. For example I went looking in Graphics section and found video, as well as website development apps right next to product development apps. The result is lots of time spent looking for a specific category of app. I suggest either more categories or subcategories. Trying to search for an app by name is not much help, but type of app would be, i.e. video, CAD, 2D Graphics, 3D Graphics, etc. Please enhance the App store. Thank you.

Apple - Feedback
But having added this I have to say I am having some difficulty finding a truly suitable link. I do wish they would make themselves more approachable. Best I can do, I'm afraid.

Mac app store will not open/missing

app store .app will not open- it appears to be missing from my version of OSX (10.6.8) entirely somehow, meaning I can';t update to Mavericks. I've searched the OSX forums to no avail and performed system updates. Any help?

The quickest way to try to fix it is to download the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo and manually install the update. It should fill in any missing gaps. I suggest dragging & dropping the Mac App Store into the Trash before the installation to let the update install a fresh version of the MAS.

Mac App Store will not open, even after an update.

When I was in a web page and tried to go to the App Store, it kept failing to launch.
I've tried this with Firefox, Chrome & Safari. It crashes on each one.
I've updated my software, it still crashes.
I've not used the app store before today, so I don't know if it was working before.
Is there a direct App Store download somewhere?
Here is the detailed report that I got when the program didn't launch:
Thanks.

The quickest way to try to fix it is to download the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo and manually install the update. It should fill in any missing gaps. I suggest dragging & dropping the Mac App Store into the Trash before the installation to let the update install a fresh version of the MAS.

Mac app store will not open

i have restarted, repaired, configured, and tryied to download update in hope to get my app store to work but no such luck because u need the app store to download anything aparently so im lost i just wat this thing to work likes its suposed to ...
the app store icon doesnt even look like its supposed to i also cant get into address book or i tunes

Hello, what OS are you on?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Some mac app icons disappears and mac App Store didn't open

some mac app icons disappears and mac appstore cant open

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Mac app store won't open in mavericks OSX

I had a power outage and it seems that since then, my OSX Mavericks on my iMAC won't open so I can't update my OS to Yosemite. Can anybody help?? I have tried running permissions check and repair and still no luck. I even did the safe mode bit and tried to run the upgrade or do the disk permissions and still no luck. I don't have time machine so I can't restore.

If you haven't done so already, make a backup. Then, boot into your recovery volume and repair your startup disk. Don't attempt to update until your Mac exhibits zero problems.

Can't open mac app store

hello, i want to upgrade to Lion OS from X 10.6.8 but to do that i need to use mac app store, the mac app store is not opening with me, i tried many ways to un install iTunes and re install it, but still not working. !! any advise

Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Restart your Mac.
FYI... you can access the Mac App Store either from your Apple menu icon (top left in your screen) then click App Store, or your Applications folder, or your Dock.
The combo should reinstall the App Store for you.

Mac App Store won't work

I just upgraded my iMac to OSX 10.6.7 from 10.6.6 and Mac App Store will not open. Its icon is dimmed in the Applications Folder and I get a application crash and report window whenever I try to open it. For what it's worth, it wasn't on my machine when I had 10.6.6.

You might want to purchase an external hard drive to use as a back up. Time machine is great for backing up everything on your Mac and you can get an external hard drive for less than $100.
If you are not sure which may be corrupted you can actually trash all of the Preferences in your Users, Library, Preferences Folder and restart. Be sure to save all important settings first as you will have to reset them in some instances (such as your Mail.app settings). Or, you can down load system maintenance utilities which can look for corrupt preferences. TinkerTool System is excellent and is shareware. It's worth the small price. Also, Applejack which is free. I use both.
If you reinstall from your install disk be sure to use the Archive and Install setting. Everything on your Mac will be saved.
Before you go through the reinstall though, I suggest you download, install and use Applejack first. It's very user friendly and may solve your problems. Read about it first before using it. It's a trip to watch if you haven't seen Terminal.app in action.
You can download Applejack and TinkerTool System from macupdate.com.
Again, back up all your stuff!

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago which I modified on 11/4/13 and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed. Any suggestions?

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it. When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3". Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

Safari, mail and app store won't open (mac book pro, lion)

hello,
my brother can't open safari, mail or the mac app store on his mac book pro running ios lion.
until yesterday he had no problems but today it doesn't work.
when he tries to open one of these programms they jump around at the dashboard infinitely.
his internet connection works, he can use skype and the itunes store without a problem.
what can he do to fix this?

You might want to re-post this in the MacBook Pro Discussions. PowerBooks (there's no such thing as a PowerBook Pro!) can't run OSX 10.6 or 10.7.
However while we're here, without any personal knowledge of this issue, I would suggest that if you haven't done it already the first thing to try would be to
repair permissions.

I have the Mac OS 10.6.7 and my App Store doesn't open?

I have the Mac OS 10.6.7 and my App Store doesn't open, it shows the frame, but never the content, the system thinks, thinks, until I Shut the application down. What should I do?

Hi,
Install the v10.6.7 combo update available here.
It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
Then try the MAS.

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.
