I just loaded snow leopard but removed the the mac app store icon from the doc and now I can't find it

I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I just loaded the snow leapord onto the computer and accidently removed the new mac app store icon from the dock and now I can't find it. I guess I need it to buy Lion. How do I get it back? It's not in the mac HD apps file. Thanks

Should be in the Applications folder as "App Store", not as "Mac App Store".
Check first in the Applications folder accessible via that named item in the Dock (also accessible at (hard drive) > Applications).
If it's not there, it may be in the Applications folder for your user: (hard drive) > Users > youraccountname > Applications.

HT4461 My daughter was using our iPad and now the Mac App Store icon is missing - where did it go and how do I restore it back to the main screen?

Need some assistance

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I think you wanted to say App Store. Mac App Store is only available in Macs, not on an iPad.
She probably enabled restrictions. Open Settings > General > Restrictions, and disable them by using the password she set. If she doesn't remember it, you have to restore your device to default settings in Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, losing everything stored in the device

Can't find my mac app store icon

It used to be in my dock. I searched for it, can't find it.
Where is it?
Anybody know what search term I need to find it?

Go to your Applications folder and drag the App Store icon (not the app) to the Dock.
Or launch the App Store from the Applications folder then click and hold the new App Store icon in the Dock then click Options > Keep in Dock.

Mac App Store icons won't load..

Screenshots included. Running on OS X Lion 10.7.5

I'm operating a bit blind here, but let's try to shotgun a solution then. Let's start with:
Quit App Store, paste following in terminal & hit return
          rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
          rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
          rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
          rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
          rm ~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
          rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
          rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
          rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/*

Mac app store has update icon but has no update

the mac app store icon in my dock, in launcher and in the bar at the top of the mac app store, it says that there is an update, but when I click on it, it just says that no updates are available. also im on 10.8.2
i dont know what to do and the '1' really bugs me.... help?

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store.

I can't find the mac app store on my imac. i am running snow leopard, and i have run "update software" several times. what's up?

I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I need to go through Mac App store to buy it. I need to get the Mac App store icon in my dock. I have run Update Software several times, trying to get the Mac App store onto my iMac, but with no luck. It doesn't show up in the dock, it doesn't show up in Finder under Applications, and it doesn't show up when I search in Searchlight for App Store, Store, Mac App Store, etc. What am I doing wrong?

I am running snow leopard
James....
You arne't necessarily doing anything wrong.
Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
That should reinstall the App Store for you.
Restart your Mac after the combo is finished installing.
You should see the App Store icon in the Dock and be able to access from your Apple menu also.
Make sure your Mac meet's Lion's requirements

Now, my iMac doesn't display the Mac App Store properly! What's up, Apple?

Okay, I mentioned that my MBP was not displaying the Mac App Store properly... now its my iMac! Stupid blue boxes and unloaded tiles are the problem. Before anyone asks, my Internet connection works well. Anybody else having this problem (see photo)? What's up, Apple?! I'm tired of reloading the page and crossing my fingers. Fix your junky software!
Oh, when you added OS updates to the App Store, that's when problems started. Thanks, Apple!

Well, there's nothing wrong with my ISP or strength of my wi-fi signal. As you can see from the enclosed photo, the signal is very strong at the top of the UI. The picture was taken several minutes AFTER waking from sleep mode and after a page reloading (the Mac App Store actually displayed more icons, prior to the refresh). Additionally, the Mac App Store is slow as heck to load. I don't have any of these problems with any other Internet connected application, including the App Store on my iPad 2! All of the problems are localized around the Mac App Store. Ironically, the app store on my Windows 8 Pro virtual machine runs without a hitch!
Mac App Store icons don't always load correctly w/ strong wi-fi signal
No problem with the Windows 8 store running on a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop 8 (see, no ISP issues!)

Just a reminder... this happens to BOTH of my Macs (MBP & iMac)! My PC, Ubuntu, and Chromium virtual machines run Internet-connected applications without a problem. I hate the Mac App store!

It takes a full minute and a half for the Mac App Store Application to load on my iMac. How can I fix this. No other applications launch so slowly.

Whenever I click on the Mac App Store icon in my dock, I get the spinning wheel for a minute and a half. It then loads. While in the App Store application, it takes a minute and a half to switch from "featured" to "top charts" for example. Nothing else on my 24" iMac takes that long to load. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Drag the App Store app from the Applications folder to the Trash. Drag the App Store icon off the Dock. It should go "poof"..
Download and install the v10.6.7 combo update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
That should re install the Mac App Store for you. It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7
If the combo did not re install the MAS for you use Pacifist to extract the MAS from the v 10.6.7 .dmg folder.

Can't find OS X Mavericks on Mac App Store

I am attempting to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, but cannot locate it. Can someone assist me?
Thanks.

You posted in the iTunes for Mac forum...are you searching that app store? If so, you'll only see apps designed for iOS devices.
You need to use the Mac App Store icon in your dock (if it's there) or open it from the Applications folder.

Stuck notification in mac app store

The Mac App Store icon in the dock has a stuck notification. It always shows a red 1, but when I click on it, there are no updates to download.
I also occasionally get popup notifications to update, and am then told there are no updates.
When I do have an update and download/install it, the 1 does not go away.
How can I remove this phantom notification on my App Store dock icon?

Actually... the Terms of Use state:
+*Speculations or rumors about unannounced products.*+
As Lion has been announced and Apple has an official page on it, I would think discussions about it are acceptable. However, apart from features, Apple has not released any detailed information (such as the option to download).

Problems with opening Mac App Store

Ok, here is my problem. I installed Snow Leopard on my iMac and updated my OS software which is now version 10.6.8 so that I could have the Mac App Store with a view to upgrading to OS Lion. However when I went to hit on the Mac App Store icon, it tells me that "you can't use this version of the application App Store with this version of Mac OS X." It goes onto say... "You have Mac OS X 10.6.8. The application requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later."
Does anyone have any solutions to this problem, I want to upgrade to Lion (I have it on my MacBook Pro) but can't do it without the App Store (unless I pay for the key fob version which I don't want to do.

Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac.
It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8.
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's Apple - OS X Lion - Requirements

I can't download Mac App Store

I can't download Mac App Store using OS X 10.6.8 following Apple's downloading procedure--the Mac App Store icon never appears in the dock or anywhere else!Mac App Store

You don't update from 10.6.3 by using the App Store. You use Software Update for that. Then after using Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you'll have the latest version of the App Store.
I don't see how this issue relates to your iPad.

App Store icon in dock not showing available updates

Hi,
I've just migrated over to a new iMac (which is lovely) but I'm having trouble with the Mac App Store icon in the Dock.
Apparently it is meant to show a small red badge when updates are available for applications bought through the store - but I never see them. If I open the App Store, and click on the [Updates] button I can see a number of available updates listed. I can then install them as normal without any problems.
So there seems to be a minor problem getting the Dock icon to update itself when updates are available.
Does anyone know the solution? Sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find anything in the KnowledgeBase or by searching here - perhaps I don't know the magic words
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

All of your apps were migrated?
It is a large file, but you may have a damaged MAS, or may be missing a component to 10.6.7, so the only way to reinstall the MAS and to perhaps fill in any missing pieces to 10.6.7 is to download and manually install the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo. It is safe to install over your current installation of Mac OS X 10.6.7.

How do I get an App store icon for Mac on my dashboard

how do I get an App store icon for Mac on my dashboard

Are you on 10.6.8 or Lion? It should have been placed there automatically during the install; otherwise, simply go to your Applications folder and drag the icon to the dock.
If you're not on one of those OS versions, post back with your version.
