Purchase Snow Leopard Apple Store

Apple didn’t introduce the App Store into Mac OS X until Snow Leopard 10.6.6. Here’s what you need to do to get the App Store. You can find out what OS X version you are on by clicking on the Apple icon, then select “About This Mac”. The number under the Apple logo is the version you are on. 10.5.x is Leopard and 10.6.x is Snow Leopard.

If you are on Leopard:

Apple is once again offering OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard in its online store.The operating system, which many users of older Macs found that they needed after upgrading their iOS devices to iOS 6, is available for $19.99. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) and order Snow Leopard from Apple directly for $19.99. It’s now longer available from the Apple online store and any other place with cost you at least $56. The long-winded dramatic version of this post.

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 once again offering OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard in its online store (US Store) (UK Store). The operating system, which many users of older Macs found that they needed after upgrading their iOS devices to iOS 6, is available for $19.99.

MacWorld:

Snow Leopard was pulled from Apple’s site after Mountain Lion was launched earlier this year, however, following the launch of iOS 6 in September it emerged that iOS 6 required iTunes 10.6, which required Snow Leopard.

As reported at the time of the 1OS 6 launch, users found that after updating their iPhone or iPad to iOS 6, their device was incompatible with the version of iTunes they were running on their Mac. Some users were running a version of OS X earlier than Snow Leopard, so it was impossible to update to the compatible version of iTunes.
