May 16, 2012 To reinstall the Mac App Store for a Snow Leopard system on which it has been removed, you can perform the following steps: Download the OS X 10.6.6 Combo updater and mount the disk image Download.
If you are on Leopard:
You first need to upgrade to Snow Leopard. You can find out how to do that at my “How to upgrade from Leopard (10.5) to Snow Leopard (10.6)” post. Once you do that, come back to this post and follow the instructions below.
If you are on Snow Leopard:
1. First click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen. If you see the “App Store…” menu item then you can stop here, you already have the App Store.
2. If you don’t have the “App Store…” menu item then click on the “Software Update…” menu item.
3. This will launch the Software Update dialog. Once the dialog completely loads, look for an item called “Mac OS X Update Combined”. That is the OS X update that includes the App Store, so go ahead and install that. It took about 30 minutes for me.
4. After the install is complete click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen. You should now see the “App Store…” menu item. If you don’t then repeat steps 2 and 3 above until you do. If you still don’t see it then just give Apple a call at 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or stop by your nearest Apple store.
If you want to see what version you currently have installed then click the Apple icon then click the “About This Mac” menu item. That will pop up a dialog like the one below. The number below the Apple icon is the version number of the Mac OS X you have installed. Like I mentioned above, it must be 10.6.6 in order to get the App Store.

Apple is preparing to issue Mac OS X Lion upgrade in the coming month, July. The update was announced on OCT 2010 and since then developers were allowed to download beta versions. I’ve downloaded Mac OS X Lion 10.7 preview 3 as a DMG file and upgraded my existing Snow Leopard installation with it. While announcing iOS 5 Apple CEO mentioned that they will list Lion to the Mac app store, instead of providing DVD disc for backup. Therefore, to do a new OS X Lion installation, we first need to install the Snow Leopard and then upgrade to Lion from the app store.
Mac OS X Lion 10.7 in action:
Mac Snow Leopard Download
Old versions of Snow Leopard will not have Mac app store in the package. Run Apple software update and upgrade OS to 10.6.8 in case if you are installing Leopard from an aged disc. After that you will find the app store icon in the dock. Sign in with your Apple ID and password and find the Lion update (around 3.7GB) from the catalog. You can buy and download OS X Lion 10.7 for $30 if you have a credit card or a PayPal account on file. Then execute the DMG file (It’s Lion.app when you get it from store) and wait for the installer to finish everything.
Snow Leopard Mac Os X
OS X 10.7 will not change any user settings on Snow Leopard partition when it is upgraded. So full backup is not a must thing*. But if you want to do a fresh Lion installation here is how to do that.
