Welcome to Apple Support Communities
What error message do you get?
If the Mac App Store tells you that your Mac is not compatible, open System Information (in /Applications/Utilities) and check Model Identifier. It should be "MacPro3,1" or higher. If not, your Mac is not compatible with OS X Mavericks

I purchased my Mac this past month on 11/20/13 so i do not have a problem with it being an older version. Please help. This is my first computer so i dont have any experience on how to fix this.

You can't install the App Store version of Mavericks because your model needs a special version. If you ever need to reinstall it, boot into Recovery.

I have a 1st generation MacBook Pro and I recently downloaded OS X Maverick. My iTunes will not open because it says i need a 64 bit version. Already followed the promted instructions but no luck. Any suggestions??

Oh, you do have the C2D! That's great!
I'm no technical expert, I just like to help out whenever or wherever I can so... I don't know if this can help you, but let me tell you about how I got my Snow Leopard to run in 64 bit mode. When I got my (late 2008) iMac it was running in 32 bit mode under Tiger (2.4 GHz/Core 2 Duo). I eventually upgraded to Snow Leopard & it was running in 32 bit mode (by default) w/1 GB RAM.
Somewhere along the line, I happened to watch a YouTube Video that showed how to upgrade an iMac's RAM, so I ordered two - 2GB sticks of Crucial RAM and then - under the guidance of the 14 or 15 year-old young man who posted the video on YouTube; wearing a rather fashionable static-electricity-neutralizer-wrist-strap, I removed 1GB of RAM & plugged in the 4GBs of RAM. So - boom like that, it was like I bought a brand new machine.
It was over a year later when I stumbled across a way to boot Snow Leopard into 64 bit mode. Turns out that if you boot while holding down the 6 & 4 key combo (the ones above the QWERTY keys), then the machine runs in 64 bit mode. Go figure. Now my Snow Leopard and just about all of my applications - with the ironic exception of iTunes - runs in 64 bit. iTunes seems fine though; if there's a performance bottleneck, I really can't tell.
Well, that's about it..
I hope that something I've mentioned can help you achieve your overall goal.
Finally, it's hard to jump onto a train, a large cat, or a surfboard that's already moving. But don't be surprised when someone a fraction of your age shows you how to.

I can´t download OS X Mavericks or Photoshop

Hi, I got my Mac back from service. They changed the hard drive and now for some reason I can´t download back some programs. Iphoto and photoshop that I use daily. They don´t download properly and I have tried to update with the OS X maverick to see if the problem is the versions. But I can´t download it either. Anyone has a clue? It charges and looks like it´s bought but it doesn´t work.

Download problems: Not Mavericks

You can also try resetting the App Store and Clearing Cookies.

Why can't I download OS X Mavericks? The download option is malfunctioning. I already checked that my mac version can have free upgrade. I click download, but it just doesnt do anything.

Why can't I download OS X Mavericks? The download option is malfunctioning. I already checked that my mac version can have free upgrade. I click download, but it just doesnt do anything. I went to purchase tab, clicked "download" next to the app but still nothing happens. It's not internet problem because everything else on the app store works. The only thing not working is Mavericks downloading and I don't know why. Please help.

To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
Since Mavericks requires 8GB's or more of free disk space, control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
If installed, disable anti virus software before downloading Mavericks.

Is downloading OS X Mavericks a good idea for my mac book pro?

I have heard alot of controversial information about downloading OS X Mavericks. Ideally I would like to download it but I am afraid of losing everything on my macbook. Should I download it anyways? or not? or back up my mac and then download? if so, how would I go about backing it up?

That's a very logical question, and yes... that's exactly what you want to do.
Get an external USB hard drive. They're cheap on Amazon, or you can often catch a good sale somewhere else. I'd start by formatting it with Disk Utility as 1 partition, GUID, and Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) NOT case sensitive. If you don't know how on that part, just write back and someone will walk you through it.
The other thing you want is Carbon Copy Cloner. It's not free, but unlike its competition it will also copy the recovery partition. Use CCC to make an exact copy of your existing drive before you install Mavericks. That way if you have any problems it's very easy to go back.
By the way, good thinking. A lot of people don't consider this and it's pretty hard to go back without doing this procedure.

How do I find out how much space I have left on my macbook pro? I downloaded the new mavericks operating system and can't figure it out. Before the space would be at the bottom of my finder.

I downloaded the new mavericks operating system on my macbook pro and I can't find out how much space I have left. Before the installation of mavericks, storage space left was displayed at the bottom of the Finder window.

In the Finder, under the View menu there is an option to Show Status Bar. Select that and you will see the info on the bottom of folders again.

When I downloaded the new Mavericks system, all of the many RSS feeds I had in my mail app deleted. How do I get these back?

How do I see the downloaded percentage of Mavericks?

Last night I started downloading Mavericks but accidentally shut down my computer mid download. When I restarted my computer today I tried to resume the download by right clicking the Mavericks icon on the dock but the download wouldn't restart. So I thought I'd get rid of the Mavericks icon from my dock and start again from scratch.
So now tried re-downloading Mavericks from the App Store and now there isn't an icon on the dock telling me how far along my download is. However, according to the App store it is downloading but there's no status bar about how far along it is. I'm not entirely sure if it's downloading either. How do I see the status of the download/restore the Mavericks icon in the dock during the download? And approximately how long will it take? I'm currently on 10.6.8 on my iMac.
Any help would be appreciated!

The download time will be dependant on your download speed from your ISP. It's a large file (5.31GB, I believe) so, with 60 Mbps speeds that I have, it can take up to 45 minutes (and that's depending on how responsive Apple's servers are at any given time).
You should be able to see the download taking place in your Launchpad icon - and in the Mac App Store as well. I'm a bit confused about what you call the "Mavericks" icon as there should be no Mavericks icons in your Dock when you're downloading.
Try the download again - check your MAS window and your Lanchpad icon for progress.
Good luck,
Clinton

Why doesn't anything happen when I hit the download button for Mavericks OS X? I have a MacBook Late 2009 with Lion 10.7.5.

Down load fron the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It will show you all of your files and the respective sizes.
In addition, click on your HDD icon in the upper right hand corner of your desk top with COMMAND I (I as in the letter i). What does it say about the space used and available.

Make certain you have all the Software Updates installed that are available for Mavericks. Periodically, Apple will provide printer driver updates from principal vendors. If this does not show up via Software Update for your printer, the relevant driver bundle can be searched and downloaded from Apple.
The following link may help. At the end of that content is how to reset your printer. Occasionally, this may become necessary following an operating system upgrade.

I would also recommend that you run Disk Utility and verify/repair permissions. Then verify the boot drive. You may find some Pages or printer driver content with the wrong permissions.
