my mac is running 10.5.8, is there any way I can install the app store,

You can't.   You need 10.6.3 Snow Leopard minimum.
But depending on the model you have, you can buy Snow Leopard from the Mac Store.   Read below for the minimum specs required.

    HI Corey ...
    Yes. Make sure you use the same Apple ID.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    If you can't re dowload the apps, launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer. Sign out of the iTunes store and try re downloading your apps from the App Store again.

  • How to I download the app store on my snow leopard os mac book pro?

    How do I download the app store on my mac book? It crashed and I had to do a reset but when I went to re do everything the app store didn't download with the rest of the applications.

  • How do you reinstall the app store on a mac computer?

    I accidentally deleted the app store on my macbook pro. How do you reinstall the app store app on your computer?

    There is no Mac App Store on Mac OS X 10.6.5 or earlier.
    On Mac OS X 10.6.6 through 10.6.8, run the combo updater for your OS version or a newer Snow Leopard one.
    On Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, and reinstall the OS.

    Bad choice, since the cost is exorbitant. Snow Leopard ($29 USD) is available from its online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.]
    Additionally, you can get a MAS redemption code via the same route. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4140947?tstart=0 for details.

  • Why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8

    why can't I install the App Store App on my Mac OS X v10.5.8
    Just purchased OS X Mountain Lion but in order to down load I have to have the App Store App on my Mac. Please help.

    10.6.6 was the 1st to support the App Store, 10.6.8 is actually needed now as a minimum.
    Install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.(10.9/Mavericks is the only download available now without specially calling Apple).
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

    I purchased i mac 2006 from surplus auction with hardisk wiped how do I install the os?

    You will need to purchase one. Since that is now an obsolete product I don't know if Apple still has the original discs, but you can call them and ask:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes
    international calling numbers.
    You can also purchase Snow Leopard from the online Apple Store:
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and

  • I'm not able to download the App Store with a software update. How can I get the App Store on my Mac?

    I have some problems to get the App Store on my mac. Every time when I do a Software Update, there is no App Store to download.
    How can I get the App Store on my Mac?
    It's because I want to set OSX Lion on my MacbookPro.
    Thanks!

    As you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
    A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard.

  • How do I get the app store to appear in my dock? I've recently upgraded to Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.3

    How do I get the app store? I've recently upgraded to OSX 10.6.3 but the icon doesn't appear in my dock.

    Manually download and install the 10.6.8 v1.1 Update Combo. It will take your Mac to 10.6.8 in one installation and install the newest version of the Mac App Store for you.

  • How do I get the App Store for Mac Pro?

    How do I get the App Store?  I bought Snow Leopard 10.6.3 so that I could download Lion so that my MobileMe email account would work again.  Installed Snow Leopard and no way to get Lion because I don't have an App Store.

    You need to update to 10.6.8 to be able to get the App Store, and to be able to download Lion (10.7)

  • How do I use the App store with macbook pro and mac pro

    I currently use the app store with the mac book, but want to buy (share?) apps and music with the mac pro.
    I can't find anything that specifically outlines how this works.
    I use SplashID with the macbook and an iPhone, and want to use it (and sync it) on the mac pro as well.
    If you buy apps for a macbook, can you use them on a second machine, or do you need to buy it a second time?

    Your license from the MAS allows you to download and install the apps on as many Macs as you own or have under your control (institutional or employer supplied Macs.) The Mac should to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard or Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion. Open the MAS app on the Mac Pro and sign into your account to have access to download all of your previous purchases in the Purchased pane.
    Simple apps can also be dragged & dropped over a network connection from the MacBook to the Mac Pro.

  • I have a mac osx 10.5.8 how do i get the app store it says my updates are all complete

    i have a mac desktop 27" on osx version 10.5.8. I want the new app store but when i do updates it says i am all up to date. How do i get the app store

    You must upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later to have access to the Mac App Store. And, this will be necessary if you plan to upgrade to Lion.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard for $29.00 at any Apple retailer or from the online Apple Store.

  • How to i get the App Store onto my mac if it doesn't have it?

    i currently just bought a new iphone 5.  I would like to update my MAC OSx but i can't because everything is done through the "app store" on the computer.  My computer doesn't seem to have that function.  Is there a way to get it put onto my computer?

    If you are running v10.7 Lion on your Mac as your profile suggests, then the App Store should be installled.
    Three ways to access the App Store.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click App Store.
    Or, from your Dock 
    Or launch the App Store from your Applications folder.
    If you still can't locate the App Store, installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) will reinstall the App Store for you.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.

  • My mac book pro won't load any safari page or connect to the App Store, but it does load new emails.....

    My mac book pro isn't loading any safari page, the  blue loading bar starts to move then freezes....

  • Can Apple update Snow Leopard so I can shut off Notifications in the App Store? I don't want to update to Mavericks.

    That stupid Notification popped up for the 2nd time. I think it does it once a week, where it asks me if I want to update to Mavericks. It''s obnoxious and annoying because I screen record a lot and that can ruin my recordings. Not only that, but why is it trying to force me to update to Mavericks if my older Macbook runs Snow Leopard better? Boot times and shutdown times are better on Snow Leopard, and my fan doesn't run constantly on Snow Leopard like I remember it doing on Mavericks.

    Move these two items to the Desktop, restart, and you shouldn't see the message again:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CommerceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Noticeboard.app
    /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.noticeboard.plist
