Can't download Yosemite, imac is compatible, RAM and Space OK

I have a Imac (2008) with 2GB and 1TB of new space, on 10.6.8 at this time. Have been trying to download Yosemite, tried several ways indicated in forum, still no download.  Is there a server issue as advanced by one discussion? if so can' someone confirm the fact? Is there a fix, this is getting frustrating. thanks

There has been at least one other questionable experience of someone's failed attempt to
access the App Store &/or Mac App Store this morning (6AM here) where the server may
have been involved. Or perhaps their computer was not fully up-to-date, which would make
the issue one in their computer and not a problem with a server.
Most persons here have no internal access to the workings of Apple Inc, or the status of
the main servers. This is primarily a user-to-user discussions area of volunteers and has
a few Apple community specialists who may or may not reply. If there is an issue and one
of those persons happens to see a pattern, they may be able to contact someone in the
engineering or other related departments.

other post indicated issues similar on the face of it, perhaps not, as you mention here:

  • Can I download Yosemite onto a thumb drive and install it on snow leopard later

    can I download Yosemite onto a thumb drive and install it on snow leopard later

    Yes.
    Create a bootable installer for OS X Mavericks or Yosemite - Apple Support
    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following command line in its entirety into the Terminal window.
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite\ Developer\ Preview.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite\ Developer\ Preview.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN, enter admin password (will not echo to the window) then press RETURN again.
    You need to have the installer in your Applications folder or change the paths in the above command line.

  • Can't Download Yosemite OS on Mac App Store

    When i click download, then comes a pop up that tells me, i can't download yosemite
    I installed Yosemite Developer Preview 3 on developer site
    but when i check on about my mac it said i'm on Yosemite Beta

    And I cannot find the latest version of iPhoto on the App Store that the system requires, and it shows "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store.". I am desperate to find a way to recover my iPhoto data because I was investing so much on it that there are so much photography that I cannot lose. If you know anything about this, please please help me out! Thanks!!
    To be able to help with this part of the question, it would help to know your current iPhoto version, and if you bought it from the AppStore.
    With Yosemite MacOS X 10.10.3 you need iPhoto 9.6.1. This version is only sold at the AppStore, but right now, you can no longer purchase it:
    When searching the App Store for iPhoto I get:
    But if you own a version of iPhoto 9.x.x, you should be able to update or reinstall it from the Purchases tab or the Update tab.
    iPhoto may be hidden on your Purchases tab.
    You may need to unhide your purchases.  Also try the "Updates" tab at the App Store.
    See this post by Tom Perkins:
    Re: how do i sort albums by date in the new photos app?
    I just went through the situation of not finding iPhoto 9.6.1 in the App Store. Working with Applecare, the solution was to (a) delete the iPhoto app, (b) restart my iMac, (c) go to the App store and click on Purchases, and (d) reinstall iPhoto. In my case, for some reason, iPhoto was hidden from my purchases.  Go to Store > View My Account, and go to Manage for Hidden Purchases, where you can unhide iPhoto.  Once I did that, things seemed to work okay.

  • How can I download my iMac iTunes library to an external drive and reload the library to iTunes on a PC?

    How can I download my iMac iTunes library to an external drive and reload the library to iTunes on a PC?

    Hi Niel.  Can you be move specific for those of us not tech savy?   1 - Can you provide steps to back up the library?  2 - How do you organize the library?  3 - When you move the entire iTunes folder, does it include iTunes paid for music along with downloaded music from CDs?  Thanks

  • I cannot down load Yosemite from the App Store. It keeps saying there is an error.  I have Mavericks installed now.  Can I download Yosemite anywhere else besides the App Store?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select
              /var/log ▹ appstore.log
    from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Were can I download App Store for 10.5 and PPC?

    Were can I download App Store for 10.5 and PPC?
    Also all other legacy software, apps, etc.

    I think if you check the App Store came out with 10.6.6
    Either way it requires an Intel Mac.

  • Hello, my iTunes dates are crashed on my mac, how can I download all my itunes match songs and save on my mac?

    Hello, my iTunes dates are crashed on my mac, how can I download all my itunes match songs and save on my mac?

    Hi mrmoo13!
    You have a couple of options for transferring your music library from one computer to another. First, you can download all of your music that is stored in the cloud on iTunes Match by following the instructions on this page:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
    You can follow steps listed in the section right here:
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
    For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
    In order to make it easier to download all of your music, you can highlight all of the songs in your iTunes Match section and then click download, as mentioned in these instructions.
    You can also choose to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one by following the steps in this article, whcih will give you some other options for doing this transfer:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
