I need OS 10.9.0. Is it still available?

You're trying to install an update, not the full OS version. Where are you getting this from?

Understood... No app store...

Edit: That's strange looking at the graphic. Not sure what to suggest. The App Store was introduced with version 10.6.6 so it should be showing in the menu.

Reply removed: superceded by other reply.

I don't remember 10.6.8 having the App Store as a listing under the Apple menu. I believe that only was added in Mac OS X 10.7. Look for the App Store app in the Applications folder.

In Applications, do you have App Store.app?

Try downloading and installing the combo update for 10.6.8 to see if that gives you the App Store:

I'm getting this from my 10.6.8. You need to hit the Free Upgrade button.

I will try that now PAUL_31, Thank you all in advance for your feedback and support....

The App Store was added in 10.6.6. The only reason it would be broken, or missing from the Applications folder is that it was manually removed. Installing the 10.6.8 Combo Update will put it back.

Thank you WZZZ, but again, My app store is not functional..... It will not open

Paul's got you covered. Run the combo update. Put it on the Desktop and then run it in Safe Boot: Shift at the startup chime. Give it much longer to boot than normally.

No, since you still need the App Store app to get 10.7. Delete the App Store app and try the 10.6.8 Combo Updater as suggested above.
