What is relationship between Mac app store and Yosemite?
I have decided to update from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I have a cryptic little message from Apple saying I need to download the Mac App Store first. But when I click on that link I get something called Yosemite. Is that the same thing as the app store? Do I have to get it? Do I want it? Thanks for any advice and help.
The topmost part of the opening page at the Mac App store is filled with a HUGE Ad for Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, the current version of Mac OS X.
You can use the Icons across the top of the Mac App Store screen to navigate around the site and see if what you want is available.
EDIT: It turns out Mountain Lion is no longer available for DIRECT download. To buy it, you will need to buy a redemption code at the Apple Online Store (NOT the Mac App Store) for US$20. This coupon will be sent to you by email, typically in 1 to 3 days, but requires human intervention to send it, so nights, weekends, and holidays do not count.
You will receive the coupon code and instructions by email. You then follow the instructions to redeem your coupon at the Mac App Store and download Mountain Lion. If you wish to proceed on these terms, this is the purchase link:

What's the difference between mac app store, app store, iTunes store?
what's the difference between mac app store, app store and whatever itunes stores out there?
If you saying that the App Store on my phone and the App Store section of itunes on my computer are the same store,
It is.
could you please be kind enough to show me how to reach the 724 apps on my computer (just to look at, not to buy) that I get on my iPhone when I type: "chinese transla".
If I search the iTunes Store for "chinese translation", I get dozens of apps listed. Make sure you're searching the iTunes Store, not your library. The search box should say "search store". Also confirm that both your iPhone and iTunes on your computer are pointed to the same country's iTunes Store. Different countries' stores carry different items, so it's possible your computer is pointed to a different country's store. Look at the bottom of the iTunes window and make sure the round flag icon is the one for your country.
Maybe the App Shopper has all the same apps that are on my phone? I just looked, they say they have 1,000 apps. Is this a safe site to buy from?
App Shopper is not a store. The only store you can buy iPhone apps from is the iTunes Store. App Shopper is just a compendium site that lists apps that are available in the iTunes Store. When you click to buy an app, you're taken to the iTunes Store.

I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is still $29. You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications. -

10.10.2 will not install - tried Mac App Store and Delta updater
I'm trying to install the 10.10.2 update on a 15" MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) which currently has 10.10.1 on it and its not going well!
The Mac App Store shows the 10.10.2 update, I click Update and dropdown says "Some updates need to finish downloading before they are installed. Your computer will restart to complete the updates." with the options "Not Now" and "Download & Restart". Doesn't matter which one I choose, after a click the update progress bar appears for a few seconds and then reverts back to displaying the Update button again. Have restarted, fixed permissions etc and it makes no difference.
So I downloaded the Delta update (not the combo) and go through the install steps and the system restarts to compete the installation, but the system simple restarts and does not update to 10.10.2, its still at 10.10.1. Have tried a few times, always the same.
One slightly odd issue is that the Apple remote Desktop update 3.8.2 appears to have been installed 5 times in the "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days" section of the Mac App Store and yet it also still appears in the updates available section below the 10.10.2 update.
I've repaired permissions, restarted, checked Activity Monitor for any non responding services and checked disk space availability - 170GB available. Can't see anything obvious.
Anyone else having trouble installing this OS update?
ThanksI have the exact same problem. Tried to install the normal and combo update. Nothing happens.
I tried the repair permissions and even the reset password method. Nothing.
Did the system restore help ? did you try to re-install yosemite first keeping your files and applications ?
It's really weird.
Thanks

I removed from my computer macbook, mac app store, and now I want to reinstall with "software update" but doesn´t appareance
Hola, buen dia, Ignacio. Saludos desde México.
To get the Mac App Store back you will need to manually download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo;
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
It is safe to install this over your current installation of 10.6.7. It will reinstall the Mac App Store, as well as fill in any gaps that your installation my have. It is a common troubleshooting step.

I recently purchased adobe indesign I'm trying to download it but i'm getting a message that's saying “Install.app” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.

What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.
Sorry, its on both my iphone 4s (2 iphones) and ipad2 that the app store is slow, I have done all the above and still when i download a 1 mb app it take about a half a hour just to download and previously it wasn't even a second. When browsing the web the devices are fast and internet speed is good, but when going in to app store it takes long to load and show me the new app, updates, featured app ect. We watch movie online and the streaming is brilliant. Even on my windows pc the app store is slow and sometimes says that i store could not be opened, i have also tried on my buddies wifi and there it does exactly the same which makes me think that its on apples side, but why do you not have any problems?

As the subject indicates, I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to use AppleScript or Automator to launch the Mac App Store and download any available updates on a set schedule.
I would advise against this. Updates sometimes reduce functionality or break programs. I would never get an update with working software unless there is a specific problem you are trying to solve.
I have read many desperate posts from people trying to go back to earlier versions for various reasons. This is easy to do with disk-based software, but with downloaded software, going backward can be more difficult. -
I purchased a program on Mac App store and the program does not act as it should, also was required to pay up front whereas had I went to the web site, ibank 4 I would have had 30 days free trial an would have found that the program does not work.?
Free trials are not available through the Mac App Store.
Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here. This is a user to user support forum. There are only folks here who use Apple products. -

I was listening to the MacCast podcast and the host had a similar issue and did something similar to the link below. I am concerned that I may mess something up by doing this.
