Can't load Mavericks.
Hello, I can't load Mavericks via app store.
This is my MacBook.
MacbookPro 6,2
10.6.8
(2010)
Snow Leopard.
Please help, don`t know what to do.
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 Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Do you have all of the above? Your model number and OD look good.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

I can't load maverick because time machine is on the drive?
I can't load Mavericks because a drive has Time Machine - can someone help
1 - you are fine for now but willneed to do something soon
2 - you can not backup up a 320 GB hard drive to a 320 BG hard drive using Time Machine - TM needs more space
3 - my suggestion is to get at least a 1TB external hard drive (they are cheap - often less than $100) formatted Mac OS estended (journaled) and use it for backup then once that is in place use the 320 GB external hard drive for yoru iphoto library -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How can I load mavericks on a new drive, and then re-load all my software on that drive?
My operating drive has bad sectors. Bought a new one to load on Mavericks and re-load all my software. How can I do this?
If your Pro came with install CD's or DVD's, you would use them to install the OS that came with the computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks. If Snow Leopard came with your Pro, as it says in your profile, that should work.
If your Pro did not originally come with installer discs, then you would need an OSX recovery disk assistant
OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0 , or an internet connection, to do internet recovery OS X: About OS X Recovery
Another option is a Mavericks installer disk, which you can make yourself with DiskMaker X
Once you get the Mavericks installer downloaded, but before you install it, make an installer with DiskMakerX so you'll have it for the next time you need it. The installer deletes itself after you do the install. -
Yosemite is rubbish anyone know how I can re-load mavericks ?
after loading yosemite, is it possible to go back to mavericks ?
I HAVE to update in order to test new machines that will be deployed. I can't stop someone from working on a brand new system so I can abscond with it and troubleshoot while they sit around unable to be productive. Non productivity will foster the idea around a corporation that if new computers from one vendor are not going to work in this environment then the solution is to deploy something else.
If I update half a room and half of the people can work in one OS and the other group can not function key procedures in the other newer one we either freeze deployment of new machines or go elsewhere. I'm the IT specialist and that translates to the lowest Native American on the totem pole, someone in a corner office will go over my head and we'll have wall to wall Lenovo's in here and that's not where I want this to go.
I understand all OS's have a rocky period but some worse than others, these last two OS's and the last IOS have had more rocks than I have ever seen before and without trying to distract Windows 7 was highly functional out of the box when it came out, it was a rock for production systems. -
Can't load Mavericks says that my disk is used for Time machine.
I am unable to progress with the loading because when it asks which disk to load it on, I mouse over my hard drive and says this disk is used for Time machine back up. I have an external hard drive for the back up and there is nothing in my Time Machine settings that has my hard drive. It is a Macbook Pro 15" 2011.
Disconnect the external drive. Sometimes, that message appears because the folder used by Time Machine to store backups is in the root level of the hard drive, so open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
Then, delete "Backups.backupdb" and empty the Trash. Finally, open the Mavericks installer again and install OS X Mavericks -
Mac Pro first generation can't load Mavericks. What is the technical reason?
Someone I know has an original Mac Pro, from 2006. I know it says that Mavericks requires at least a 2008 Mac Pro. What is the technical reasons for not including older hardware? I understand the points about the G5 and before cannot go higher than Leopard, because they stopped supporting non-Intel Macs. However, the Mac Pro, is an Intel Mac, and of course I know that Apple wants you on newer hardware, but that original Mac Pro is still a capable machine. I would like to know if there is something about what is in Mavericks (and future OSes) that precludes them from installing on older Intel Macs.
That computer has a 32-bit EFI. Mavericks requires a 64-bit one.

After loading Mavericks(terrible name,btw), why can't I see a way to sync/update my contacts on itunes anymore? hm????
And I can't seem to be able to sync contacts at all. Not at all.... Really... Not happening...
Contacts has always been a sketchy, inferior application, now with the NEW Mavericks, it's not even working. sigh.paulinefromkatonah wrote:

It's named after a favorite surfing beach in California. Many companies are now using names of places because then they know the name doesn't violate a trademark in any of hundreds of countries. Thinking up product names is very difficult, legally speaking. Place names are convenient. -
Can I load OS X Mavericks to replace OS X Yosemite?
Can I load OS X Mavericks to replace OS X Yosemite?
Revert to a Previous OS X - Yosemite
Revert Yosemite to Mavericks
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.
Try using a clone if you can't get Time Machine to work.
Clone - Carbon Copy Cloner (Often recommended as it has more features than some others)

Have down loaded Maverick two days ago. To activate it asked for my Administrator ID which I had forgotten.
Now i have managed to change my ID. Now to instal Maverick I cannot find it on my computer. If I down load it again it will use my Internet plans %gb mor from out provider. So How do i activate my down loaded Maverick OS.No It did not help. After Down loading it asked for my administrator ID which I could not give as I had forgotten.
Now I changed my administrator Id and remember it. But now I cannot find the same anywhere on my laptop. it is not in application as i could not instal it. so where is it. If I down load it again Iwill b using 5GB of my internet again from my plan of 30Gb which my provider will minus again. In short I will b using 10gb of my plan for a 5gb Maverick. -
Can I load more memory and where do I purchase it?
Yes, you can, though you'd need to tell us your exact model of iMac before we could tell you specifically what memory you will need and how much you can expand to. There are a number of good vendors; I've used Crucial and Other World Computing (OWC). Both have been of high quality and good service, and either can tell you exactly what you'll need for your iMac. Other folks here may have additional vendor recommendations.
I'd definitely recommend expanding beyond 2GB. It won't cost that much more and your performance is almost sure to be better than if you just get the minimum 2GB.
Regards. -
After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
1. AppZapper
2. AppDelete
3. Automaton
4. Hazel
5. AppCleaner
6. CleanApp
7. iTrash
8. Amnesia
9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
