Mavericks will not appear in Purchases or download

I'm currently running 10.7.5 on a 17" MBP (2011). I am now ready to upgrade to 10.9.1 but cannot get it to download from the App Store. Here's what I did:
- launched App Store and clicked on OS X Mavericks
- clicked on "Free Upgrade" and then "Install App".
- Forced me to set my security questions before it would continue (gave me an error about year of birth which I figured out how to fix)
- It started up LaunchPad although I was not expecting this and I cancelled out of LaunchPad
- I rebooted Lion
- Ran Disk Utility to repair disk permissions
- Rebooted Lion
- Launched App Store and went to purchases and clicked the Download button for Mavericks
- Went to bed
This morning I couldn't find the "Install OS X Mavaricks" in the Applications folder. Logged into the App Store and went to Purchases and clicked Download again but nothing seemed to happen (LaunchPad did not show any download progress).
So I deleeted Mavaricks from Purchases in attempt to start from scratch. However, now Mavaricks will not appear in Purchases (I have restarted App Store).
If I click "Free Upgrade" and then "Install App", I get prompted for my apple ID, enter it and it gets accepted but then nothing appears to happen. Mavaricks will not appear in Purchases. LaunchPad does not show any Install OS X Mavricks icon.

Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock/Launchpad is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
After you have installed Mavericks, if you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Learned from leonie.
I have to use it after every update.

  • HT201272 A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod.  They are on my iTunes, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod.  Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod.

    A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod.  They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod.  There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store.  Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

    Hello Curtis,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to downlaod Mavericks.  I recommend emptying your trash and restarting your computer.  Once you have done that, navigat the the Purchased tab of the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks again:

    started iTunes, and authorised my account
    Worked straight away after that !

    Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher

    Hello Zoocan,
    The best thing you can do is contact Apple Support, they will be able to help you. You can tell them you have receipts of your purchases.

  • HT202159 Mavericks will not complete download

    Mavericks will not complete download

    It may depend on your download speeds.
    Check here >  http://www.speedtest.net
    Minimum download speed should be approximately 20 - 25mpbs.
    Keep in mind, if you do install Mavericks, at some point you will need to repair the startup disk or restore OS X. Both require a high speed broandband connection as noted here.
    Mavericks requires 8GB's or more of storage space.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

  • HT201364 Mavericks will not download or install...

    Mavericks will not download or install... Macbook Pro 17, early 2009, plenty of memeory... Clicking the download or install button shows button depression, but no response otherwise, and download never happens. Any idea as to what is wrong???

    Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore. 
    Have these been tried?

  • None of my "paid" books will open in iBooks.  They show they are there, but when I open them all I get is a blank page.  I have checked all the newbie mistakes.  Mavericks will not let me uninstall and reinstall iBooks.

    All the books I paid money for will not open in iBooks on my MAC.  Mavericks will not let me uninstall iBooks, so I cannot uninstall and reinstall it on my Pro.  I have deleted and re-loaded the books and they show in my library (as they always did), but when I open them, all I get is a blank page with three dots at the bottom, flashing in sequence.  This does not affect the free books from the book store nor does it affect the PDF I have loaded myself.  (I had this problem on my iPad when the latest big software came out about a year or two ago, but I was able to re-initalize the complete iPad from my Pro Book.)  I have tried just about everything I can think of, but all to no avail.  To save time, I have reset my iTunes password and performed all the other "Apple Tips" in the support section, but after 5 hours I am giving up.  Surely someone else must be having the same issue??

    Yup, same issue since installing Mavericks.  iBooks works fine on my wife's Macbook Pro, but on my Mac Pro none of my purchased (protected) books will open - only the free/unprotected ones.
    I'm asked for my AppleID password, but nothing happens when I try to open a purchased and downloaded book.   I deauthorized, reauthorized, etc ... nothing.  Each purchased book that I double-click gives me a dialog asking for my Apple ID password.  Nothing else.
    I was already buying more books via Kindle than iTunes and this just seals the deal for me.  At least I can read my already-purchased iBooks books on my iPad still...

  • TS3212 I am trying to install itunes on my pc and the run window will not appear. I changed the pop-up blocker settings and I still can't see it?

    I am trying to install itunes for my pc and the run window will not come up and I have changed my pop-up blocker settings and it still will not appear.....help?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Can't edit audio line - it will not appear

    For some reason my edit line will not appear in the audio track. I can't fade down or out the audio tracks downloaded from my iTunes library.
    Note: This is just one of the problems I've had since installing iLife 08. I did not care for '08 and deleted it but I believe parts of it still lingers somewhere.
    I will only use my version 6, but can't go further with four 'in progress' movies.

    Phone EE to delete you old a/c. Then you will be able to create your new 1. Stupid, innit? They can't do this auto when you upgrade.
