Attempting to download/install Mavericks

Hello,
I'm currently running OS 10.8.5 on a 2009 MacPro.
I would like to upgrade to Mavericks 10.9.2.
Please note that, due to a potential software conflict, I do not want to upgrade to 10.9.3 at the present time.
I've gone to http://support.apple.com/downloads/, and have been able to find multiple Mavericks installers [including a 10.9.2 combo update].
In any case, I get a prompt stating that 10.9 is required in order to proceed with the installation.
Does anyone know where I can find an updater to Mavericks which will allow me to upgrade from 10.8.5 to 10.9.0?
Hopefully, if I found that, I could then use the combo update to get to 10.9.2.
Thanks for your help,
jep

Apple does not offer a Mavericks installer for older versions of Mavericks. It's OS X 10.9.3 only. You'll have to wait until the software is updated to move to Mavericks or stick with Mountain Lion.
What is the software conflict?

Get please close idvault when attempting to download/install flashplayer

Hello-I am running Win7 home premium,sp1,32bits and IE9. I attempted to download the latest Flashplayer version from your download website that specifically calls out win7. However, I received a message stating that I had to close idvault before I could continue. I searched for idvault using my search program and this program could not be found. I attempted to install the flashplayer from a different installation window and received the same error message. I attempted to download again but I saved flashplayer to my Downloads folder and ran it from there. It installed. When I openeed IE9's Mange add-ons,I donot see Flashplayer? Does this mean that Flashplayer is inoperable?

Open Internet Explorer and go to the following page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
If Flash Player is installed correctly, you will see the animation and the Flash Player version installed in your computer there.
Thanks,

Update failed to download / install, Mavericks

I'm experiencing the following problem.
Every large update I try to download results in to a corrupt download. (WIFI and Cable)
The problems started before my upgrade to Mavericks last Friday. I had tried to install mavericks since Tuesday, but after every download I got the message that it was corrupt and couldn't install it. I then used my wife's MB pro to download the file and through Airdrop I was able to get the file on my MB pro. Mavericks installed without a lot of trouble.
Now I want to run the software update, and regardless of what I'm trying the software seems to fail during install.
I've also ran the disk utility a couple of times and after fixing it's fine. But after blocks are bad again like the next day.
I hope someone can help.

This is starting to sound like a monolog.
I think I found the problem.
So looking for
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00003ff24bcc5240
Should me that it could be RAM related. I downloaded and installed http://www.optilabs.eu/en/blog/detail/mac-memory-test-how-to-test-your-mac-os-x- ram and I booted my mac in single user mode (cmd + S)
Then I typed "memtest all"
Immediately it showed errors with RAM.
Since I have 2 x 4G RAM I removed the top one and ran the test again. It was fine!
From another mac I put in RAM into the second shelf and ran the test again. It failed!
I took both RAM mods out and put the previous second on in. It was fine!
--- So the RAM modules are both fine
I took the old GOOD RAM and put it in the second and, it failed.
Then I made sure it was really wedget in and it was fine.
Conclusion, my second memory bank doesn't make a proper connection with the second RAM module.
So now I could buy an 8 Gig single RAM unit,... (if my model supports that).

Version 10.9.5 - missing essential applications/re-download & install mavericks

I'm missing all of my applications, and finding it hard to reinstall Mavericks. In short, is there a direct web link to download Mavericks? My computer does not have the 'app store' application on it right now, and I cannot seem to find a way to download it from apple website, besides Yosemite, which I don't want because it's causing issues with my audio recording software/hardware. my only previous backup I made under Mavericks did not have my 'applications' folder backed up which was my stupid mistake, as I changed that earlier and forgot to change back.
Hope this makes sense any help appreciated.

You'll need to boot to Recovery mode and reinstall the OS from there.

Always backup everything.

After attempting to download/install iOS 8.3 (I think it was 8.3) my phone now doesn't work. Says the update was interrupted. Tries to update. Unsuccessful. Says I will need to recover, which will mean losing everything. I'm past due for a new phone and a

It is an iPhone 5.

The Problem is resolved by :
Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
Restart the computer.
Thanks to my friend Sunil.

Installing Maverick caused hard drive failure

I am only posting this to be sure that the Apple community gets more information concerning this update. I "had" a perfectly functioning 18 mos. old Mac Book Pro and when I attempted to install Maverick I was notified that my Hard Drive was damaged beyond repair. The computer was returned to an Apple Store, new hard drive installed and still the computer does not work!!! I cannot open Cloud, log on with my Apple ID (and yes, I am using the correct user name and password!), or open Itunes. I have had over 1 hour long phone calls with very nice people from Apple, but even after a deleting and attempting to re-install Maverick....nothing. Now, Maverick will not even load. Something is wrong with this update and Apple has got to get it fixed!

Hi RStyle1,
Answeres are below:
a) Yes, you can use the same disc and serial number to install on a new laptop, if you get an activations error message then you would need to contact Adobe support.
b) The same serial number will work on both Windows and Mac.
c) You can still use Lightroom 4 if you upgrade to version 5, it's upto you to use both the versions on the machines available to you.
Thanks!

Installing Mavericks??

Hello:
Do I have to have 10.6.8 installed in order to download & install Mavericks?
In the past few weeks I have run ClamX several times and found a Trojan. It has since been deleated - however I'm not sure that it did not cause
any to happen to the OS. I was thinkg of doing a wipe oif the HD and then downloading & installing Mavericks - not sure if doing this is possible
so I wanted to ask.
I would greatly appreciate any input on this.
Thanks.

When you say, I will already have a working OS to replace, does that mean Mavericks is just replacing Snow Leopard?
Yes, Mavericks will completely replace Snow Leopard.
Is getting Mavericks through the App. Store, the same type of installation as if it was being installed from a DVD?
More or less. You can read a description of the process at Macworld Installing Mavericks: What you need to know.
How would I go about making an installer DVD from the installer app?
Much easier to copy to a USB drive. Either just the Installer or once you upgrade to Mavericks you can create a bootable USB drive using DiskMakerX. Unfortunately the developer has not figure out how to make one running Snow Leopard.
Also, my connection is through DSL, so I'm guessing the download will take several hours.
Yes. The current verions is 5.34 GB.

Persistent error when attempting to download OS X Mavericks

I am attempting to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac Dev Center. After I click "Get Download Code", I get the following error:
What am I doing wrong? I clicked the equivalent button for OS X Mountain Lion and it worked without any issues. I attempted this both from Safari on my OS X 10.10.2 machine and from Firefox on my Ubuntu machine. Neither of them worked.

If you never downloaded Mavericks in the past, then you cannot download it now. If you had installed Mavericks before, then you can re-download it from the Purchases page in the App Store. Otherwise, you are stuck with Yosemite.

Does re-downloading and installing Mavericks retain existing files, apps etc.

I have a fully functioning Macbook Pro but email has become unstable. I want to reinstall email but I believe I need to reinstall the complete OS. If I re-download Mavericks and install it, will my existing files, apps etc. be retained ?
thanks

Yes, your existing files will be retained ... assuming all goes well!
Of course, you should have a complete, thorough backup before attempting a re-install. Hopefully you will not need to use it.

Your machine already has Mavericks installed. Why are you trying to download it?

I've been attempting to download Mavericks since last nightto no avail. Is anyone else experiencing this? How can I download Mavericks to my macbook pro?

I have been attempting to download Mavericks since last night to no avail. I've clicked the Download and the Install Apps buttons, but nothing happens. It just sits there. I thought it was downloading last night since it read "downloading," but after more than 3 hours of that, I realized nothing was really happening. Today, I've been clicking the Install App button, but again nothing happens. Is anyone else having this problem? How do I get this new operating system on my macbook pro, OSX 10.7.5?

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

How do you install Thunderbird on a new Apple iPad 2? When attempting to download, I get a message that Safari cannot open the file.

Can anyone provide instructions regarding downloading Thunderbird on an Apple iPad 2? I attempted to download on the iPad through Google and when the download attempted to start it gave a message that Safari could not download this file.

You can only install apps from the iTunes App Store. That's why Safari won't download it. Even if it did download it, you couldn't install it as iOS wouldn't recognize it as an iOS app (which Thunderbird isn't).
