I want to download the new software but I don't even have the app store on my computer how do I do that?

I need the new software to download the new itunes but i dont have the app store on my computer. How do I get it and how do I download the new software?

It sounds to me like you may be running OSX 10.5. Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
If you are running OSX 10.5 you will have to upgrade to 10.6 by buying a Snow Leopard DVD from Apple phone sales.

Why don't I have my App Store apps after upgrading to iOS5?

I just upgraded my iphone to iOS5. Before upgrading I created a backup in iTunes. After upgrading I restored from backup. All of the apps I downloaded/purchased from the App store are now missing on my iPhone Only the core apps that come preinstalled on iOS5 are present.
However, all the music, contacts, and photos that were previously on my iphone are still there (ie the contents and settings in the core apps have been restored). Also, folders that I had previously put core apps into have been recreated.
Does this point to any error I made in the upgrade process? I didn't transfer purchases from iPhone to iTunes when prompted before the upgrade, nor do I sync apps between iPhone and iTunes. I assumed all this content would be included in the backup.

To answer my own question. Yes, the steps I took prior to upgrade were insufficient to have my apps restored after the upgrade. I should have checked sync apps in iTunes or manually transferred purchases from iPhone to iTunes prior to upgrade.
This thread helped with my understanding

I reinstalled tiger on one iMac, but want to re-upgragde it to Lion. I don't have the discs anymore, but I installed Lion from the Mac App Store. Now that I'm back to 10.4, I don't have the App Store. I have a new iMac with Mavericks, but it won't let

I have a 2006 iMac that I've upgraded to each new os as they came out. I just wiped it (for the kids to use, I have a new iMac with Mavericks) and reintalled Tiger from the original discs. I want to get it back to Lion - which I purchased from the Mac App Store. But Tiger doesn't have the App Store and I don't have the discs anymore from the intermediate versions. I tried downloading Lion from the new iMac but it's not available...
Any ideas?

To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

My phone doesn't have the App Store icon. I don't have a jail broken phone and I restored it but it still doesn't have it. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I updated my phone to iOS 7 and ever since then I don't have the App Store. It's really frustrating because I have restored my phone and it still doesn't have it. I don't know if it can be fixed, but if anyone knows how to fix it please let me know!

I figured out how. Go to settings> General make sure restrictions are off

I have a macbook pro and i would like to update it so i have the app store and facetime on my laptop but i don't know how?

I dont know how to update my macbook pro the year is 2009, so that i have the app store and facetime on here can anyone help?

You need 10.6.6 or later for the App Store. You need 10.6.8 or later for Mountain Lion. Make sure you have these other requirements for Mountain Lion so you can be sure to have Facetime support when you are ready to upgrade to Mountain Lion:

Lion's page-turning gestures on the magic mouse don't work in the App Store

Hi.
Does anyone know why Lion's swipe gestures for moving forwards and backwards through pages don't work in the App Store? I have the Lion OS and use a magic mouse in conjunction with MagicPrefs, stored in the System Preferences, and the gestures work with every app except the App Store.
Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the Magic Mouse, so I don't know how the gestures are different from those on a trackpad. However, on a trackpad, you can use a two-finger left or right swipe to scroll horizontally, which - in Safari only - will also go forward or backward between pages. There is also a three-finger swipe that more properly goes forward or backward in any app that supports that, including the App Store, iTunes, etc. You'll want to use that gesture instead.

I' ve just got an ipad (the new ipad) as a gift. It's a new one but Unfortunately, i found out that it doesn't have the App Store install. How to install the app? Please advice.

I just got an ipad (retina display) as a gift. But unfortunately it doesn't have the App Store application installed. How to imstall it. Then i asked the IT to help me to find the solutions. They asked me to RESET the ipad. I tried to reset the ipad but it request 4 letters of password which i'm puzzled coz i don't even create any password yet in this ipad. So how to get the password? Can some one help me to solve this problems. Thanks.

Your best bet is to contact Apple. Those conditions should not occur with a new unit.
I do suggest that you read Chapters 1, 2, and 3.
If you wish to troubleshoot on your own...
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Why don't I have the invite icon on the bottom right hand side of my calendar? How do I get this? And why wouldn't my 4S have it and everyone else's iPhone 4 does?

Why wouldn't my 4S have this? But iPhone 4 users do? It is already turned on in my settings but that icon is missing in my calendar.

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.

You don't need 10.5. Skip it and buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

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.

Why can't i access the app store on my iphone 5

Please why can't I access the app store on my iPhone 5....it keep saying can't access.. I'm from Nigeria

Go to settings, then scroll down to appstore and itunes store. Then tap id and sign out. Next, sign in again.
Or restart the device by holding power button until red slider appears. Slide it. After the iphone turns off. Hold the power button to turn it backon. Then try the solution above.

My iPad 2 doesn't have the app store I have looked in everything, reset the home screen and the restrictions is off but I still can't find it.

My iPad 2 doesn't have the app store I have looked in everything, reset the home screen and the restrictions is off but I still can't find it.

If you got the iPad from your school, and the Installing Apps restriction is 'off' but greyed out (as you 've said here https://discussions.apple.com/message/16137325#16137325) so that the App Store app is hidden, then it's likely that your school has set the restriction - you will need to ask them to remove the restriction for you.
