Can't download Yosemite, Get button not working

Trying to update to Yosemite but the Get button is not responding. It stays grey and I don't get the green Install App.
I'm trying to update from the last version of Snow Leopard.

There is two ways to do it:
1. If you want to upgrade current OS to OS X Yosemite, then use other mac to download OS X Yosemite installer and then use external storage (USB HDD or flash storage) or file sharing to transfer /Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app to the mac on which you want to install it and run the instalation (the mac on which you will be downloading OS X Yosemite can run already that OS).
2. If you are ok to erase HDD and do a fresh installation of OS X Yosemite (which means all data - applications, documents, photos, music and etc will be deleted) on your mac, then if you have an access to Mac which is currently running OS X Yosemite, you can use that Mac and create USB Recovery Disk:
OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0
OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant - Apple Support
Create a bootable installer for OS X Mavericks or Yosemite - Apple Support
Booting then your Mac from USB Recovery Disk will give you an option to use Disk Utility app to erase the drive and then to proceed with Installing OS X Yosemite.
Starting from an external USB storage device (Intel-based Macs) - Apple Support
No matter which option you decide to go with, make sure you have a valid Time Machine Backup (or any sort of backup) done - if you decide that OS X Yosemite is not what you want on this Mac, then restoring from Time Machine Backup is the easiest way to go back: Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support

  • Download All updates button not working now?

    Just today, on multiple machines the Download All Updates button stopped working for App updates. I had to click each App Individually.
    I'm using iTunes 10..3.1

    I am also having this problem.  The automatic downloads is for new purchases only.  AG and I are trying to update existing APPs in iTunes and that is where there is an issue.  I too have to download each update individually and some APP updates won't update at all.
    Any helpful suggestions out there?
    I'm using iTunes 10.3.1 also.

  • The Downloads Clear List Button Not Working In Firefox 19.0

    Hello,
    After upgrading Firefox to version 19.0 today, I noticed that the Downloads Clear List Button does not work & is always grayed/greyed out, and so you can not clear all downloads; and so you have to remove them each one-at-a-time.
    I did not have this problem until upgrading to version 19.0

  • Purchased season pass in SD. trying to download but SD button not working

    purchased season pass to tv show in SD when i try to download clicking on SD button won't work

    I found a way around it...
    1. Go to iTunes Store
    2. Click your Apple id (top left)
    3. Click Account
    4. Scroll all the way to the bottom click "Purchased" (it's under Features)
    5. Navigate to whatever you downloaded:
         if you downloaded a TV Show. Click TV Show at the top. Choose the show in the left. Then click the season and you can download it from there.
    I know it shouldn't be this hard. But this is the solution I've found till apple can fix the glitch.

  • Download update apps button not working

    Itunes show new apps, go to store updates, shows the apps, click on Download All Free Apps nothing happens, used to work.  Now have to download individually.
    Whats up with that?

    And here I was just trying to open a new topic when I found this. I have an iPhone 5s (iOS 7.0.5) and this problem occurred to me about a week ago as well. I also tried everything as the OP, even hard reset, nothing helped.
    Here's a picture of how it looks:
    Bear in mind that the apps are updated but the button never changes, not before the update and not after. It always just opens the app. Prior to October 9 everything was working just fine.

  • Can't Download Updates: Serial Number not working

    Hi all,
    I'm hoping someone from Apple might read this- don't know where else to go to ask...
    I am new to FCP....just beginning to understand and use the program after having installed it many months ago. The software was a gift from a friend who wasn't using it... FCP 5.1.4 and early versions of Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Cinema Tools, etc. It's all legal, and my good friend who gave it to me is a very ethical person...everything came in the original box, original packaging, Apple discs, etc.....no copies of anything.
    I remember when I first installed it I had some issues with the serial number, and there seemed to be two different serial numbers...one on the install discs and another on some other stickers that were on the manual or in the box...
    The problem is that I'm out of the US right now and only have the discs- and the box and Manuals are back in the states in storage.
    Now that I am finally understanding the program and getting turned on to do cool things with it, it occurred to me to go looking for any reliable free-stuff I could find for it...and so I first went to Apple to look for updates and plugins.
    When I enter the serial number on the install discs (which is the same one that comes up in "About Final Cut Pro") the Apple site tells me it's an invalid serial number. I triple-checked whether I made any mistakes...so I know I typed everything in exactly as it is on the disc sticker.
    I know the software is legitimate- but the other serial number which I think helped me register the software in the first place is many thousands of miles away from me....
    Any suggestions? Other than that, why would this stuff have more than one serial number anyway?
    Finally, if You are aware of any worthwhile free stuff for FCP, let me know!
    Thanks so much,
    scott

    5.1.4 is as high is that version went. The next version was 6.0 (part of Final Cut Studio 2), and that was a paid upgrade. We are now on FCP 7 (Final Cut Studio 3).
    and there seemed to be two different serial numbers...one on the install discs and another on some other stickers that were on the manual or in the box...
    The ones on the disk? There aren't any on the disk. The real serial numbers are the ones on a sheet with the manuals.
    But, you are as high as you can go...so no need for updating.

    Depending where you are, there can be slow downs on the servers.
    You just have to keep trying. I tried 3 times to get the Mavericks upfrade and eventually had to go to the Apple Store.
    Where they gave me a copy of the previous version!

  • Central button Not working ..... now ? 5 buttons not working !!! What can i do?

    Hello all,
    I bought my blackberry torch in September 2011  and two months ago the center button was problem (bellow the screen)  and not working at all. so I gave it to a company to fix it and told me to round 45 euros to fix it. also told me that it will be ready in the new year because they would have holiday. The man there made a report saying the problem with the center button (only had this problem, I note) and now they brought me back and told me  they can not fix it and they send it to blackberry but  even they could not fix it.  Enable my phone  front of them and did not operate any button of 5 bellow the screen (two to the right of the center button that had problems and two to the left). I told them to send it back to the technician because when I gave to you to fix it only one button was not working and now none of the 5.
    After nearly two months they brought me back and told me ''we can not do anything ....'' So,five buttons not working.
    What can I do in this case????
    Not got it from there yet to see what I can do or what can I say?
    I think I'm right. It is reasonable to I want my phone back with only one button broken as I gave it to them and not with extra 4 buttons not work.
    Sorry for my english, I hope you understand  

    A battery pull does nothing to improve the performance of the battery, it clears your phone's cache of unwanted fragments that have accumulated and this improves the performance of your phone.  I doubt it's as simple as this but it wouldn't be the first time I've heard of a service centre charging money for repairs when a simple battery pull would have done the trick.
    When you get your phone back (working properly or not), I suggest trying a battery pull. 
    - If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

  • How can i upgrade my iPhoto 7.1.5 to a newer version? the download 8.02 will not work as i need 8 and that isn't available on download on the site?

    Thanks x

    You can upgrade to iPhoto '11 with OS X 10.8.5 by purchasing an iPhoto '11 DVD from Amazon, eBay or other source - or you can upgrade your OS to Mavericks for free if your system meets the requirements and then purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store - in either case backup first in case of problems

    In formcentral, why does the "proceed to checkout" button not work? on IE I get error " This content cannot be displayed in a frame.

    Hi,
     This error is generally specific to Internet Explorer and has two possible causes. The most likely explanation is that your browser has unusual browser security settings. I would recommend you try
    resetting your security settings to defaults (varies by version but all essentially the same). You may also have to turn off
    Protected Mode which is enabled by default on some systems. If you’re seeing this error (or a version of it) outside Internet Explorer, you may have a server-level setting that is preventing your content from being framed.
