My Mac 10.5.8 didn't come with the App Store
I bought this Macbook Air 10.5.8 but it didnt come with the App Store or iTunes or any of those programs, were they suppose to come with the Mac or am I just really stupid?
Mac OS X
Version 10.5.8
Processor: 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Startup Disk: Untitled
The App Store didn’t come with 10.5.8. It first appeared in 10.6.6.
Older versions of iTunes are here: Apple - Support - Downloads
To get the App store on your MBA you’d have to upgrade the OS, which is a good idea anyway, for security reasons.

Hello i have what I think is a first generation Ipod touch which did not come with the App store already downloaded onto it, can I not download apps to my Ipod touch?
If you have a 1G iPod you can update to as far as 3.1.3. Yu get hat paid update here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
You can identofy your iPod here:
Identifying iPod models
What iOS is curently on your iPod (Setting>Genral>About>Version) you need as lest 2.0 for apps but most apps need 3.0 or later. -
Getting frustrated . There's supposed to be all these built in apps...but I don't have them on my iPod touch. How do I get the App store onto there?
See my response to your other post.

I bought a used macbook air, it didn't come with the flash drive to do a factory reset. Can I download the info needed and save it to my own flash drive and then do a factory reset? If not what can I do?
If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, click here, phone Apple, and order a replacement.
If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart it with the Option, Command, and R keys held down.

My phone didn't come with the preset playlists. All my friends and my sister have them. Like, "top 25 in your library" "recently added" "recently played". Is there any way I can get these?
Those playlists are "Smart playlists".
I don't think that you can create them from the phone itself. I've only ever been able to create a smart playlist within iTunes and then syncing the phone. -
I erase my mac book pro to factory setting and cannot re-install the software. I received a message saying my Apple ID has not yet used with the App store. Please review your account information. Could anyone help please. I need to re-install my os.
Use Internet Recovery. You shouldn't need an AppleID. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
Internet Recovery will install the OS that shipped with the Mac. You can then upgrade to Mavericks if that was not it.
Do you have an App Store account? Did you ever use it to install the OS? -
I updated my mac 10.8 to mavericks but after installation the app store ask for the same software update again..i have a slow connection..i cannot install it again and again..what should i do?
In case you are not aware, Mavericks requires a high speed broadband connection.
In the event you need to restore or repair the starutp disk, OS X Recovery also requires a broadband connection as noted here > About OS X Recovery
You can check your download speed here > Speedtest.net
15Mbps or less, you may not be able to install Mavericks or use OS X Recovery. -
I just got a macbook air and i thought that it was supposed to come with ilife already installed? But there is not ilife apps...how do i get it on the laptop without having to buy them all from the app store if it was supposed to come with it?
From the iPhoto Licence:
3. Transfer.
A. Apple Software obtained from the Mac App Store is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to a third party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware before doing so.
B. For any preinstalled Apple Software, you may make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights to the Apple Software (in its original form as provided by Apple) to another party, provided that: the Apple Software is transferred together with your Apple-branded hardware; (ii) the transfer must include all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts, printed materials and this License; (iii) you do not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; (iv) you have not associated the Apple Software with your Mac App Store account as set forth in Section 2B; and (v) the party receiving the Apple Software reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this License.
If the previous owner accepted the preinstalled software (iPhoto, etc) to the AppleID, it cannot be passed on to a new owner. Even if the previous owed would use her or his Applied to install it for you, you would never be able to reinstall it or to update it.
In that case buy your own copies of the software. -
Do you have to pay for Pages if it didn't come with the computer?
I just got my computer just this night, and I realized that it didn't have pages or keynote. My dad and I have been trying to look online for a download, but only saw the one at the app store for $20 for only pages. I don't know if I would have to send it in for them to install pages for free? Or if I could just use google docs, and put the document on my iCloud.
Did you buy the computer new? If you did, then those apps should have come pre-installed. If you bought a pre-owned computer then yes you have to pay for the apps.

My new 2014 iMac doesn't come with the apps the website says it does?
I need the apps that the imac says it comes with to do work and get things done and ive been searching for them and cant find any so i went to the app store to see if i had to download them and they cost money but the website says theyre built in? should i ask where i got th mac from about it or what?
Free does not mean pre-installed.
I assume you are referring to the iWork apps (Numbers, Pages, etc..) if so open the Mac App Store go to the purchased tab and download them. If you continue to have difficulty you have 90 days of complimentary telephone support, if you did not know about this then please click
http://www.apple.com/support/complimentary/ to get the number in your country.
Also if you have not already purchased AppleCare I would STRONGLY recommend it. If you don't know what it does look it up on Apple's site. -
How do I re-download aperture if I didn't buy from the app store?
I bought Aperture a long while back (I think as AP2), and then upgraded to 3. I've now replaced my HD and need to reinstall it.
Easiest thing I can think of would be to download it from the app store, but I didn't buy it through the app store. Is there another way to re-install aperture? Or, alternatively, is there a way to "upgrade" to the app store version, which would be more convenient altogether?
Thanks! -a.Boo :-(
I mean, I still have the old hard drive... I guess I could just copy the application over, but there's probably a bunch of support files I don't want to track down by hand.
Or, maybe I can download the Aperture 3 trial from Apple and try entering my serial into that? I might give that a shot.
Thanks for the help,

Software update and Ownership of the Mac mini with the APP store
Hi I Recently bought a used mac mini (late 2011 model with amd video card)
It works flawlessy and does everything we ask of it. My problem is that it's still recorded under the old owner's name so are the mouse an keyboard.
How can I take possesion of my purchase? Just to be clear the computer was sold to me by the original owner with proof of purchase in his name from the store (So I'm not trying to take over a stolen good) It's still under warranty and I even wanted to buy the apple care for it before the warranty expires.
Since there's no dvd everything as to go through the app store but how do I legitimize my purchase from the old owner?
Thanks
ChrisOh and by the way I tried login in with my account since I already Owned the software on my Macbook pro but it didnt work told me that these app where in somebody else purchase list

Hi everyone...the same question.
I just bought a new Mac Book Pro with retina screen. But I found that it didn't have the built-in Apps of
- iphoto
- iMovie
- GarageBand
How can I get them back?
ThanksThen some things may be hidden, or perhaps you did not use the same Apple_ID in the store as you used on your computer. Or maybe Apple is slow about updating your App Store Account.

EDIT: Could they be on your computer in the Applications folder, but just not shown on the Dock? That can be fixed easily as well. -
