Can't download Mavericks on brand new Macbook Pro 13 Retina

I've got a brand new Macbook Pro 13 Retina, late 2013. So I meet all needed spec's.
Then trying to donload using AppStore I get the message:
We could not complete your purchase
OS X Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer.
Anyone?
Thanx

The latest version on the App Store for 10.9 Mavericks is build 13A603.
I believe that the new rMBPs have their own special build number of 13A2093.
Opening About this Mac from the Apple menu and clicking on the Version 10.9, will reveal you current build number.
So the version that you have installed is newer than the current version that is avaliable to download from the App Store. That is why you will be getting the error mesage, as you cannot install a build that is older than the computer came with.
Once 10.9.1 is released, it will have a build number beginning with 13B. You will be able to download this version to your rMBP from the Purchases tab if you wish and make into the USB installer as it will bring you in line with the standard release that everyone else has.
Until then, you will only be able to use the Internet Recovery method.

  • I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

  • Brand new macbook pro retina - fan noise when running hola?

    Hi everyone, I need some help here please!
    I have a brand new macbook pro retina 13 - just bought in January this year - and have had no problems so far apart from the wifi dropping occassionally.
    So I just downloaded hola unblocker for firefox but whenever I stream anything using it on netflix my fan starts whirring so loudly - it's never even made a noise before! and I can feel the base of the mac getting hotter. So I've closed hola/firefox and it stops after a minute or so. I've tried a few times again with the same problem.
    I'm just using it to watch US netflix so probably not technically legal anyway.... but other friends manage it no bother - do mac's just know I'm doing something wrong? haha
    Thanks for any advice.

    Try running Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder). Click the Energy button at the top and then stream a video. Watch the Energy Impact.
    I suspect what you'll see is that your rMBP is doing a lot of work while you're streaming the video, and that makes it get hot. The fan struggles to dissipate the resulting heat in order to prevent damage and makes noise in the process.
    It may also have a guilty conscience.

  • My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
    In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps.

  • Brand new MacBook Pro Retina display wont come up at all.

    I got a brand new MacBook Pro retina display a week ago. Since yesterday, it won't come up at all. Screen stays blank, no HD sound, nothing. Does anyone else have same issue which they resolved already?

    I did call them and it seems there is no solution except sending it back to them and getting a new one.
    This is by far the most strange issue I have seen. Seems more like a hardware issue than software.
    Thanks for you suggestion though. I will post an update ones this case gets resolved.

  • Finder stuck on Music folder on brand new MacBook Pro Retina

    I've recently switched from Windows to Mac. The brand new MacBook Pro has been having issues ever since I got it, crashed during its first install/set up, etc. But until now, I could always figure things out. Now I accidentally clicked on my music folder (bad idea, I know), but finder is now crashed and I don't seem to be able to find a solution anymore.
    I have tried relaunching the app, but since the music folder crashes, that is of no help. I have tried killall Finder through the terminal, but that crashed (presumably - I just quit terminal after 30min of nothing happening but the progress wheel spinning away), I tried rebooting without relaunching apps (several times), but it either crashes on trying to shut down (hard shut down after 30min) or restarts with the two darn finder windows open. I am at my wits' end.

    Yes, that's why I just wanted to make sure it's normal...
    Aside from that, nothing else seems wrong with the laptop and it seems like a hassle to go through if it's normal to have some battery cycles on a new Macbook. 
    Has anyone heard of resellers such as MacMall resealing returned laptops and selling them as new?  Has anyone else noticed a high cycle count on their brand new Macbook?

  • Downgrading OS X Yosemite to Mountain Lion on brand new Macbook Pro Retina

    Hi all...
    Some background...
    I'm awaiting delivery of a new CTO 13" Macbook Pro Retina and have a question or two.
    Obviously the new machine will ship with Yosemite, but I intend to downgrade to Mountain Lion. My main use for the new Notebook is audio, and a lot of DAW software and plugins are not stable on Yosemite yet. I have a Mac Pro 6 core 3.33 tower system that I only jumped from Lion to Mountain Lion on a few months back, as I find I get rock solid performance by staying one or two OS X releases behind with all the stuff I need to run. My Mountain Lion upgrade was done through the App Store.
    My questions...  on the Macbook Pro (this is my first laptop ever), can I simply log into my Store account and download and run the installer for Mountain Lion from my purchase history? The machine will be brand new.. with no personal info or documents etc, so is there really any point doing a backup beforehand? Will a Yosemite machine let me run an installer for an older OS X?
    If someone has experience doing the same, I'd greatly appreciate advice on what the best way to complete the downgrade would be.
    Cheers!

    Question should be - why can't I purchase a mac direct from Apple with an operating system less than current?
    Particularly if a business can afford additional devices but not the updates required to get software in line.
    This is also an issue with windows computers - Small company owner needed a few more PC's for his businesses that had just completed an PC based system install that ran on XP -- they came with Vista or windows 7 (don't remember which) his businesses were large enough that he did return them and get XP PC's.     (Software was not compatible with other than XP)      Few years later - went with what used to be called "smart terminal" no PC's on the desktop - all info on a server. 

  • Can't install windows 8 on new macbook pro retina display.

    I spent my afternoon trying to install Windows 8 Pro on my new Macbook Pro with retina display. I get fairly deep into the installation process using bootcamp when I get a windows message that says something to the effect that windows can't be installed because the hard drive is not formatted in NTSF format. And that is the end of the line.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It's normal. Boot Camp Assistant formats the Boot Camp volume in FAT32 because in the past it supported Windows XP and it could use FAT32. This changed with Windows Vista.
    The only thing you have to do is to choose the BOOTCAMP partition in this step, and select "Drive options (advanced)". Then, press "Format" and it will be formatted into NTFS, so press Next and the installation will start.
    See the Apple's guide > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

  • Brand new macbook pro retina issues after yosmite update

    My Macbook pro retina was working fine until I had Mavericks, but after updating to Yosemite the following problems has started.
    Touch pad stops responding now and then
    Fails to open launchpad sometimes
    Boot camp wizard is missing
    Scrolling doesn't work quite often in Safari
    Fan starts running when cpu is cool without load, but fails to run when hot while playing games
    Battery performance is dropped.
    Computer has become comparatively sluggish.
    Doesn't display 'about this mac'.

    I did call them and it seems there is no solution except sending it back to them and getting a new one.
    This is by far the most strange issue I have seen. Seems more like a hardware issue than software.

  • Brand new MacBook Pro Retina is in fact 2 months old?

    I just got a brand new out of the box MBP retina Late 2013. It was a replacement for my old Early 2013 faulty MBP retina. I am very thankful to Apple because my previous MBP was a faulty mess.
    I have 2 enquiries as to whether this new MBP has been used previously:
    1) The app "Battery Health" lists the MBP as being 2.1 months old and having 3 cycles of charge already. Is that consistent with this being an unused and new MBP?
    2) The MBP has come with Pages, Keynote and Numbers installed!! I thought that these were apps you had to pay for and my previous MacBook certainly did not come with them. Do MBP come with these apps free these days? I have just been told that the iWork suite is free and installed for MacBooks activated after September 2013. Which just leaves my first question I suppose!
    I am just worried that it has been used and abandoned and I'll have to go through the whole process again of having a dodgy MBP.
    Thanks

    From what I've heard and read the iWork apps aren't normally installed. But that might of been with systems bought right after the notice of those apps being available for free with a Purchase of a New Mac.
    Apple's manufacturers product many units each day. Some sit for weeks or more waiting to be shipped out and or in the Apple warehouse waiting to be bought. I wouldn't worry about it and it seems the 3 cycle count is fairly normal with the Retina models.

  • I can't download mavericks to late 2011 macbook pro???

    im having trouble downloading os x 10.9.1 - can anyone tell me why please?

    What instructions?????
    In the Mac App Store there is an icon for Mavericks, in both the standard store and in the updates area. Just Click on it and the download should start, that is after you type in your Apple ID and password for that Apple ID.
    Depending on your internet speed and how your Mac is connnecting to your router, WiFi or Ethernet, the download can take from 20 minutes to several hours, it is a 5+ GB download.
    Going to need more info on what exactly happen when you click on this link.
