Where is messages in the app store

The application 'messages' that allows you to text via your mac is nowhere to be found on my app store. I just downloaded the new mavericks onto my computer. Has anyone else had this same issue or found a solution. Please let me know.

The Messages app for Mac is in the Applications folder. It is a standard Apple app installed with OS X. It is not available in the Mac App Store.

  • I bought osx lion for download but I cannot find where it is on the app store.  i currently have 10.5.8 so I dont know if that has something to do with it.

    You cannot use Lion until you have upgraded to 10.6.8:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    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 Mountain Lion 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
               terms apply.
    You received a coupon you can use and redeem on the App Store to download Lion. There is no App Store in Leopard.

    Hello, Nick. 
    I see you have already processed some troubleshooting steps.  There are just a couple more steps I could recommend for this issue.  Here are a couple articles that will walk you through the remainder of the troubleshooting steps.

  • Unknown Error message on the App Store

  • How do I go back to where I was when browsing in the apps store? When I try the choice to go back to the apps store it takes me all the way back to

    I meant to pose this as a question.

    It's OK that you didn't pose it as a question because the answer is very plain and simple. You can't go back to where you were in the App Store. That's just the way it works unfortunately. you can be twenty screens in to your current browsing experience, and more often than not, you will go all the way to the beginning once you quit looking at the one app that were investigating.
    If you hate this feature, or lack therof - you can send feedback to Apple here.

  • HT5248 I can't get the 9.2 update through the App Store even though I get in-app prompts to do so. Says "No Updates Available"

    I have iWork installed from disk, and as I understand it all software updates come through the mac app store. All my apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) prompt me that there is an update to install. Clicking "Update" takes me to the Mac App Store which simply gives me a "No Updates Availible" message. The app store seems unable to verify that I have apps qualified for upgrades that were not purhcased within the App Store.

    iWork '09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
    But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
    You can also download the standalone updater from this page.

  • Empty the App Store Download Cache

    Hello,
    I just finished installing a 16GB game from the app store, Deus Ex Human Revolution. After installation, I have an error message in the app store, even though the program launches fine and everything works. I also have what amounts to 32GB of space taken up on my drive now, which leads me to think that the install file was not deleted by the app store upon the completion of installation. I have restarted the computer and the app, and gone into ~/library/caches and deleted everything inside to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    OS 10.10.2
    MacBook Air (11-Inch, early 2014)
    1.4 GHz Processor Core i5
    4GB Ram
    Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536MB
    120 GB HD

    10.9 didn't come on a disk. Where did you get the disk? Obviously the install is incomplete.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

    I would delete the app store (drag it to the Trash.) And download and install this update combo over your current installation of 10.6.8.
