No app store on my mac
I am using a Mac Book Pro. My version is 10.7.5, and I use Mac OS X, I have app store on my Mac Book but the image is not the real app store image, it is a pencil on a piece of paper. If I try to open App Store the screen just flashes then goes back to what ever I was on. This app is in my applications folder. Can I re- download App Store for Mac on the Apple store.
Open a Finder window and go to the Applications folder in the ROOT of the Macintosh HD. Look in there for App Store.App. The icon looks like this.
Do you see it in the Applications folder.

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!
SmettSkyAs 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. -

Message: "Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add on"
Trying to install 10.7 (from 10.6.8) on Mac Mini server 4,1. I don't use it as a server, and don't know anything about that.I get a message "Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add on" check download at App store. There is none. Help?
Mac Mini Server 4.1/2.66 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo/8 GB MemoryRan into this myself on a new MacMini Server. I renamed the ServerVersion.plist file in /System/Library/CoreServices/. That allowed the install to start. Unfortunately it seems the installer is setup to install that at the same time. I renamed the file back before the restart and it complained on restart that the server install wasn't found.
So I thought I would try downloading it on another computer with Lion. That didn't work either. As soon as it finished download it installed and deleted the installer.
What a pain.
If you can start from scratch, you should be able to rename the file, do the Lion install then after the Lion install rename it back. Then do the server install. I'm not sure what that will do to existing server configs though. There must be some reason Apple set up the Lion installer this way.
Oh, now I can't reboot into my existing OS. It keeps rebooting into the installer. Tried the option key and both options are named something like base os. Neither boots my existing Snow Leopard. Gonna have to get an external DVD drive and install from scratch I think. Luckily this is a new server not in production, so not a big deal. I hope people with production machines read the boards and tread carefully. -
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. -
Do I have to buy the OS X Mountain Lion in order to update my software, or i can update my software without having to but that app in the app store in my mac? Since the directions says: 1)Click on "About this mac" 2)Click on Software Updates 3)Download OS X Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store.

hi i have problem with my mac os x10.5.8 i cant't download new upload ?and the problem is that i can't found my app store on my mac .any help plz
If you can... you need to Upgrade your OS X to 10.6.8
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading... -
I can't open Maps, iBooks, or the App Store on my Mac
I just installed OS X 10.9 Mavericks on my Mac (specs below). The install went fairly smoothly with no hiccups. After installing, I ran CleanMyMac, which cleared my cache, language files, etc. I've run this program millions of times before with no problems.
I've now discovered that I cannot open Maps, iBooks, or the App Store on my Mac. I can open and run iTunes, but when prompted by iTunes to update to the latest version, I click 'OK' and see no response (i.e., the App Store does not open).
Can anyone provide any guidance?
Specs:
Mid-2009 MBP 13.3
2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM
750GB 7200RPM HDDYesterday was the first time I use the CleanMyMac and thanks it damaged my OS.
My solution was Reinstalling OS X
How?
Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Note: be sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
I did it today, it's finally working without any loss! -
Failed to install App Store on my Mac Book 5.
I followed the instructions to download app store on my mac. I went to Software update, and updated my system, then I restarted my macbook without seeing any dialog to install App Store. After restarted my mac book, I was looking for App Store. I found it in downloads, and I deleted it and emptied my trash can by accident. So I failed to install App Store and try to update my system in order to download the app store again on my Mack Book; however, it says "Your software is up to date."
SO how can I get the App Store after updating the software, but failed to install? I want App Store, and I am Snow Leopard. It's been trying nuts for trying to figure out how to get the App Store.Failed to install App Store wrote:
I followed the instructions to download app store on my mac.
What instructions do you refer to & where did you find them? As has been mentioned by several other people, the Mac App Store is a part of the OS 10.6.6 update. Apple does not offer it as a separate download. Even if it were available as a separate download, it will not work with any version of Leopard (OS 10.5) or any version of Snow Leopard less than 10.6.6.
Click on the "About this Mac" item in the Apple menu. In the window that pops up, right under the words "Mac OS X" you will see the version of the OS you are running. If it says you are running 10.5.8, then you are running Leopard, not Snow Leopard, & Software Update will only offer you updates for that OS version. To upgrade the OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard you must buy a retail copy of Snow Leopard & install it. Once you do, Software Update will offer you updates for that OS version, including the 10.6.6 one that includes the Mac App Store. -

What is meant by waiting for app store to download mac os x server add on.
Can't get past that step to upgrade xserver from 10.6.8 to 10.7. I am trying to upgrade my xserver 10.6.8 to 10.7. I have purchased the os x lion and the lion server, and they are both downloaded on the machine, but it will not let me get past the step of waiting for app store to download mac os x server add on. Anyone know what that is or where I can get it? App store never starts a download. tia
Ran into this myself on a new MacMini Server. I renamed the ServerVersion.plist file in /System/Library/CoreServices/. That allowed the install to start. Unfortunately it seems the installer is setup to install that at the same time. I renamed the file back before the restart and it complained on restart that the server install wasn't found.

Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add On.
Hi there,
I am trying to upgrade Mac OS X Server to Mac Lion Server. I get this message when i try to install the OS X Lion
Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add On.
Please help.the message is normal, you are requested to wait!
check that, when "install" is pressed in App Store a new icon should go to your dock (the "install MacOSX lion" application itself).
the upgrade is up to 4Gb and apple serves at no more than 200-400Kbps (at least to my country), so be patient.
If you need more patience, but JUST NOOOOOWWW!!! =)
then you can see your network activity in Utilities -> Activity Monitor -> Network
Let us know if there is no Activity during the download!
And also if you successfully install lion! -

Why isn't my app store on my mac working?
Every time I try and go into my app store on my mac to update my apps, it sits there loading before a box pops up and say "App store cannot verify a secure connection with the App store. Would you like to connect anyway?" I press continue and it just sits on a black screen and I can't do anything.
What can i do to fix it?This procedure is complicated, but you probably won't have to do all of it.
Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until the issue is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If it's down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Check that the date (including the year) and time shown by your system clock are correct.
Step 3
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate.
Step 4
If you connect to the Internet through an HTTPS or SOCKS proxy server, follow the instructions in this support article, or deselect the proxy entirely.
Step 5
Boot in safe mode and test.
Step 6
Make sure Parental Controls aren't active for your account.
Step 7
Follow the instructions in this support article to change your DNS settings. If there's no change, revert the settings.
Step 8
If possible, test on a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot or the cellular network of your phone.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
File ▹ Add Keychain
from the menu bar and add the following items:
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu at the top, select
When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings. Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Next, select the login keychain. Delete any expired or otherwise invalid certificates.
Log out, log back in, and test.
Step 10
Launch the Activity Monitor application. Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Is a process with that name listed?
If not, back up all data, then triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/var/db/crls
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Move all the files in the folder that opens to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, empty the Trash, and test.
Step 11
If you've moved to a different country, select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then click
Change Country or Region
and update your billing information. -

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A remark such as "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I expected B; but I got C." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.
