i need the os x mavericks download, im on mountain lion, and i wish to obtain mavericks on my computer not yosemite

You will need to contact Apple, try iTunes Support. Mavericks was pulled from the MAS when Yosemite was released and the only possible way to get it is by contacting Apple directly.
good luck

    did download OS X Mountain Lion and see the features in my applications, but not reflecting in my APPS purchases.
    also this takes huge amount of time, almost 10 hours to download, even using 3G Net connection.

    Hi kiwirudy,
    I've had the same problem more than once since I started trying to download my 14 April purchase of OS X Mountain Lion.
    I found a property list called manifest.plist in my ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder which had a Boolean property called failed checked. I unchecked it and afterwards I was able to resume my download.
    Here are some steps I've found useful:
    Close the Mac App Store.
    make a copy of the  ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder. For some strange reason the Mac App Store likes to just delete it in some circumstances, which will mean that one has to start one's download again from the very beginning.
    Double click on the manifest.plist in one's ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder.
    This should open it in Property List Editor.
    Expand all the nodes (holding down the alt key and clicking on the highest collapsed node should do it.
    Find a key called failed of type Boolean and uncheck it.
    Save the manifest.plist and close it.
    Open the Mac App Store.
    The red message "an error has occured" should now be gone and one should be able to resume one's download.
    In the event that the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder gets deleted:
    start the download again (it will start from the beginning), pause it and close the Mac App Store.
    copy your backup copy of the pkg file back to its sub-folder (it's a numbered folder in the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder).
    Open the Mac App Store and resume your download.
    It should continue from where it left off.
    This has worked for me so far. I'm holding my breath. Don't know if I'll still be alive when it's finished.
    Regards
    Nic

  • I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

    I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

    I'm unclear on what the problem is. Have you installed a system on the new hard drive, and if so, what system? Had you actually installed Mountain Lion previously, or only downloaded it? And what does "it only wants to upgrade" mean? Have you actually got Mountain Lion already installed? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.)
    All Macs that shipped with Lion or newer are capable of internet recovery in situations like this. Just hold down command-R and it should start in recovery mode over the internet if necessary. You can reinstall the system from there. If you had Mountain Lion, I would assume that Mountain Lion would be the system you would get reinstalling that way.

  • I have a Mac with Mountain Lion and a Pro MacBook with Maverick. Since going to the cloud with my calendar I get "updating iCal" signal and can't use the calendar on my mac

    I have a Mac with Mountain Lion and a MacBook Pro with Maverick. Since I synced the calendar to icloud, I get a "upgrading iCal calendar" that won't go away. How do you fix this?

    Try force quitting iCal by pressing Option-Command-Esc, selecting iCal and clicking Force Quit.

  • Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive.

I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair, I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive. I am in Paris and my Snow Leopard DVD is in Texas.

    Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck.  As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.”  As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#.  Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
    If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X.

  • HT4906 I have upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and updated Iphoto to latest, however, I still can not access photos sent to me via photo stream. what else do I need to do? I'm $30 into this effort, and no results!

    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • I recently downloaded is x mountain lion and while it finished it erased all my data, some of which I need. When using disk utility I found my old data but it says corrupted. I can't repair and while restoring the error code 32 Broken Pipe appears. Help?

    My data I need is on my computer but it needs to be repaired but can't and when I try to restore it/back it up it ends abruptly with error code 32 broken pipe.
    It was damaged while installing os x mountain lion and I found my data on disk repair (utility)

    Sounds like your hard drive is badly corrupted, likely due to problems that were already there when you started trying to install Mountain Lion. The problem is, if you don't have any backups already, you may not be able to recover all your data from this state. Do you have backups of that data already?
    If not, I assume when you say that "it needs to be repaired but can't," you mean that Disk Utility tells you there is a problem with the disk, but that it is unable to repair it? If so, you can try repairing the drive using DiskWarrior, which can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. That may give you access to your data again, but may not.
    Also, it's important to understand that if your data is not backed up, everything you do with the computer runs the risk of overwriting or corrupting that data. You may want to go straight to trying to recover your data. See Recovering deleted files.
    Regarding the error code, if you're trying to back up the drive using Disk Utility's Restore tab, note that that is often not successful when the drive you're trying to back up is corrupt.
    Once the situation is resolved - either because you have backups, are able to recover your data files or are forced to accept that they are gone permanently - you will need to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system and all your apps from scratch.

  • Can I go to the Apple Store to download OS X Mountain Lion?

    My internet is really slow, so I am wondering if I can go to the Apple Store and use the internet there. Also, how long would the download time be there approximately?

    Even if you can't imagine there are people having problems to make a download of several GB. For me, I would be very glad to be able to download Mountain Lion on a PC attached to a fast internet connection, as I'm living on a very small island where my only connection will be via fragile UMTS. Would be much easier for me taking a boat, make my download on a friends PC, and burn it down to a disc instead of taking my iMac with me.
    Last time I've ordered an USB stick, but nowadays Apple even makes this impossible for me (and reading "If you don’t have broadband access, you can visit any Apple Retail Store to get help with downloading" just gave me a big laugh). Next store all about 200 kilometers away, will be a trip of two and a half days for me.
    Shame on you, Apple.

  • I attempted to download Java for Mountain Lion and it had no positive effect. ~Marlin

    I attempted to download the Java enabler for Mountain Lion (version 10.8.2) and it had absolutely no effect. How should I proceed?
    Thank you,
    ~Marlin

    Open Java Preferences.app in the Utilities folder. It will tell you what version you have, allow you to download it if not present, and allow you to enable it.

  • I have OS 10.6, do I have to update to 10.7 before I download 10.8 "Mountain Lion", and pay again?

    I'm still running OS 10.6, and have decided to upgrade to 10.7 Lion.
    However, the Apple website has just informed me that 10.8 Mountain Lion is coming
    this summer.
    Do I have to buy Lion, and then again by Mountain Lion?  Should I just wait until
    Mountain Lion launches so I don't have to pay twice?
    Thanks

    Until Apple makes the technical specifications for Mountain Lion public, no one can answer this question.

  • Iv tried downloading OS X Mountain Lion, and it just doesnt download. Any help please?

    I have a 2012 imac, updated to: 10.7.4, the best iMac they do. and it  just wont download at all, iv tried restarting my computer, switching it on and of and still no luck. ANY HELP!?

    Do you get the ML icon on your launchpad that shows 'Downloading...' and what appears to be a white dot as the progress bar?  If so, it is downloading.  It can take anywhere from 1-8 hours to download depending on your connection speed.

  • My time machine backup was created on iMac with Mountain Lion and my new iMac has Mavericks installed, will I be able to restore a backup from time machine to new imac and all applications work ok

    time machine backup to new iMac

    Yes, however it's always wise to update your apps to ensure you have the most up-to-date version. Use Setup Assistant to migrate your data, apps and settings to the new iMac, simply follow the on-screen directions. If the new machine has already arrived and you have already run Setup Assistant, connect the TM backup to the new machine and run Migration Assistant (a cousin of Setup Assistant) and follow the on-screen directions. You can find Migration Assistant in Applications - Utilities - Migrations Assistant or you can use the keyboard shortcut of Command + Spacebar and type "Migration Assistant".
