Reinstall 10.6 and lost app store

Look in the Application folder. If the App store is there, just drag the app to the dock and place it where you want it.

I have the same problem. I deleted app store because I had login problems. Now I want to install it again. I have tried software update several times, and its not in my application folder either.

Having same problem. I couldn't login to the app store, so i deleted it from the computer, ran software update, and the software update dosen't re-install it. how can i manually download the dmg file for the app store?

Chavos, download the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Combo Update and it should restore the Mac App Store;

Hi,

You can try the 10.6.7 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361



but if that does not reinstall the Mac App Store for you there's another way.

Keep the .dmg file from the combo update.

Get Pacifist

Pacifist is a utility that can extract files from a .dmg folder.

Open Pacifist after you install it. In the Pacifist window click Open Package.

Navigate to the MacOS XUpdCombo10.6.7.pkg. Select that then click Open.

In the next window click the gray disclosure triangle where you see: Contents of manual

Then click the triangle next to: Contents of MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.7.pkd

Then click Applications, then right or control click: App Store.app

Then click: Install to Default Location. That will reinstall the MAS to your Applications folder.

Unfortunately, you have installed the obsolete version that was in 10.6.6. Everything going forward with Apple assumes you have the most current versions of the software.

BTW, did you buy Pacifist, or did you pirate it to solve this one issue?

somehwat off topic too - but since when does following a download link to shareware on the developer's website count as software piracy ?
Surely if they wanted it to be pay or don't use it - they would never have linked to it there.

You're welcome. 🙂

Very handy tool Pacifist is.

The advantage of sticking for 10.6.6 for now is that fonts still work. You can wait until Apple fixes the font problems and then download the revised update and install it.
