Reinstall app store application

I've deleted (foolishly) the app store as it wasn't working properly - it's was completely removed, not just removed from the dock. Now i'm having alot of difficulty reinstalling the app store application. I need help please!
After some googling, the suggested method was to download the 10.6.6 combo update package and use pacifist to install the app store component. However this didn't work, the app store won't open after this process. I then tried installing app store component using pacifist from the 10.10.2 combo update to bring the app store up to date, but still it won't open.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've got problem report if that would help.

Hi lexkel,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have deleted the App Store and would like to recover it. In this situation, I would recommend reinstalling OS X Yosemite.

  • App  store application freezes during downloads.

    a few days ago Aperture (bought in the App Store) no longer reacted when trying to start it. I erased it. Now everytime i try to reinstall from the App store
    (it shows up correctly under bought items) the App Store application freezes. Any advice how to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    Use AppDelete to make sure all the Aperture associated files are removed from the hard disk.

    Then restart your Mac and follow the instructions at this link to re download the app.

  • HT203421 Since installing Yosemite 10.10 the Apps Store application on my iMac does not work

    installing Yosemite 10.10 the Apps Store application on my iMac does not work properly. Applications show up in the App Store window to be updated but in fact most of them do not download and install. Some 3rd party software does download and install but most Apple and HP Applications do not. They appear in some cases in both the Ready to update or install list and in the "Installed in the last 30 days list". In some cases when I click on "Update" it shows in the "Installed in the Last 30 Days list" but it is not installed.  In the case of the latest Yosemite 10.10.3 beta down load, it momentarily show up like it is downloading but then disappears and does not install.

    I am now using Yosemite 10.10.2 and am trying to install the beta Download Yosemite 10.10.3 hoping it will resolve my problem but starts to download from the App Store snd then quits.

  • Is there any app store applications we can buy or get free which will permit to divide the screen in 2 such a way we can read at the left and take notes at the right ?

    Are they any app store applications we can buy or get free which will permit us to divide the i-Pad screen in 2 , at the left we , for example , read a newspaper , and at the right , we can take notes ? Thanks for tour help .

    I do not think there is an app for that..... Yet.  Part of the difficulty is the 'sandbox' nature of apps.  One app cannot open another app. ( with a few controlled exceptions)

  • I cannot quit the app store application itself

    after updating my Macbook Pro to Mountain Lion the app store application will not close.  the menu item "quit app store" is greyed out and I cannot restart or shut down the machine.

    From the Apple Icon (top left) click Force Quit.

  • My app store application on my iPhone 4S is not accepting my password for one of my Apple ids. I have a feeling it is because the ID isn't correct, it should be my email address and it is not just 1st portion.

    My app store application on my IPhone 4S is not accepting my Apple ID and password. The ID comes up, but I don't think it is totally correct as it doesn't have the complete email address which is actually my ID. I know the password is correct because I just changed it even though I knew what my last one was, I changed to be extra sure. I am not sure how to change the ID in the App Store application.

    To change the ID:
    Settings > Store > Apple ID. Sign Out of the old and in with the new.

  • HT4479 Mac app Store Issue: Trying to download the app store application so we can install recently purchased software update of 10.7 but unable to do so because we don't have updated software. Need assistance in installing update that's already been purc

    Trying to downloads App store application for the sole pupose of downloading a purchased OS update 10.7. We cannot download the app store until we have a software update but need the software update to download the app store.

    There is no Mac App Store app that you can download. The Mac App Store is installed with the update of previous installations of Snow Leopard to version 10.6.8. v1.1.
    Does your Mac have OS X Snow Leopard installed? If not, you have to install it before you may go further.

  • App Store Application Deleted

    The App Store Application disappeared (was probably deleted) from my iPad.  How do I get it back?
    Thanks

    You can see if it download on your iTunes and than sync it, if thats uncomfortable for you, you can just go back to app store and download it again.

  • I have dont have the app store application...how do i get it?

    I don not have the app store on my dock. looking to upgrade to moutain lion from the snowleopard but cannot because i dont have the app store. How do i go about this?

    I said:
    If you have 10.6, but something lower than 10.6.6, you can run a simple Software Update.
    But since you DON'T have 10.6, you will need to call Apple and order it. Good luck.
    I should also add, you might consider upgrading to something even later (but you will still need 10.6 first), since not all App Store applications support 10.6, but may support 10.7 or 10.8.

  • 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.
