Download slow for Mavericks

My Mac mini is downloading Mavericks but it really slow. Is it because of the DSL line? It is going to take hours.

Is your Internet connection very slow? How long does it take to reach 1.6 MB?

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.

Download error for mavericks

My download for mavericks stops at 995.5 mb. Please provide some solution.

Hi anujsehgal,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your OS X Mavericks download did not complete, first see if you can resume the download using the steps below:
If downloading an app is interrupted
Once an Internet connection is reestablished, your purchased downloads should automatically restart. The Mac App Store may alert you that there was an issue with the download and ask if you'd like to restart the download(s). Confirming will restart all pending downloads. For more information on this topic, see Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads.
See Troubleshooting the Mac App Store for more information.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

HT5444 why does finding the download link for mavericks have to be a scavenger hunt. why can't they simply have a downloads tab like any normal site. I love MAC, BUT WHO EVER IS MAKING THE WEB SITE IS A CREEP.

Odd.... I read complaints ALL THE TIME that it's in the way of everything...
Its in the App Store. (Mac HD/Applications/AppStore)
Right on the front page. CAN'T MISS IT.

How to download iPhoto for Mavericks?

After a clean install of OS X 10.9 Mavericks on my Mac Mini, I went to the Mac App Store to download iPhoto. It says I can't, because iPhoto 9.6 requires OS X 10.10. Yosemite.
Upgrading to Yosemite is not an option.
Fine, and how do I get iPhoto for Mavericks now?
Thanks for any hint!

After a clean install of OS X 10.9 Mavericks on my Mac Mini,
Which version did you have previously? The same system version?
Did you previously have iPhoto '11 installed on your Mini with Mavericks? Then restore iPhoto from your backup you made before you wiped the drive.

What is the download size for Mavericks?

Hello, I have a late 2009 Macbook that is currently running 10.6.8. A bit outdated, I know, but I hope to fix that. The issue is, I don't have a stable internet connection at home. So here is my question; How large is the file download to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8, and more importantly, will my older computer and applications even be compatable? I don't want to upgrade only to discover that my computer runs slower. Thank you for the responses.

1. Unless Apple says otherwise, Mavericks is no longer available.
2. Your Mac is compatible with both Lion and Yosemite. Click here and look your software up.

Expected Download time for Mavericks?

How long should OS X Mavericks take to download with broadband service approx. 4MB downloading to 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo currently running OS X 10.6.8. Memory fitted is 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Internal harddrive now fitted is 1Tb.

Downloading is more depended on your broadband speed. If I were to guess, I would say anywhere between half an hour to an hour. The Software Updates app will tell you based on your download speed.
On the other hand, installation will be long for your computer. I would say anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half (could even be more).
There are too many variables to accurately guess so don't hold me to my educated guesses to much.

Is the Safari icon missing from your Dock ?

HT201364 I downloaded OS X Mavericks over the weekend and it has made my Macbook Pro extremely slow

I downloaded OS X Mavericks over the weekend and it has made my Macbook very slow. Browsing has become slow. Mail hardly moves. It takes ages to show contents of inbox, yes including previously downloaded emails too. Thus the overall experience is very disappointing. IS THERE A WAY TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS OS X that I had? OS X Mavericks should be renamed as OS X HAVOCKWRECKS.

I am just a Apple user guy.

          4 GB RAM This is a minimum amount of RAM for basic Mavericks function (I know the specs say 2 GB). If you are doing anything more than just checking your email you may want more RAM, especially if you are doing things that are more memory intensive, like audio/video recording/editing. It all depends on your degree of tolerance for the SBBOD (the spinning beachball of death). At the moment you've got no page-outs so that's good.

These next categories are all things that are loaded at startup and can be potential causes for poor performance, as they run in the background. These all need to be looked at carefully if you want your mac to run better. The rules are:
1) if you can live without the app that installs these potential culprits, uninstall it. You have to uninstall the app itself, not just the file that is listed here.
2) if you can't live without the app, then at least research it to see if it is compatible with Mavericks, and make sure you have the latest version.
Some of these I don't know about, but I've marked those with **; you'll have to research them yourself.

Download using wifi is very slow for my ipad may i know what is the problem?

Downloading using wifi is very slow for my ipad may i know what is the problem

Maybe your internet speed is slow. Check your download speed.

I need to update to the latest version of Snow Leapord-currently running v10.6. Because of where we live the slow download speed for such a large file has kept me from downloading the update. What can I do short of hooking up computer elsewhere?

Do you ever visit a friend or realtive with a Mac who has faster internet? Maybe the local library has Macs on a fast line. If so, get a USB thumb drive and put this link on it from your computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Then put this link on the drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1429
When you are at some place that has a Mac with a decent download speed. insert the thumb drive in that Mac and click on the first link ("DL1399") and direct the download to your thumb drive. Now do the same this with the second link.
The installer files will now be on the thumb drive and, when you get home, drag them from the thumb drive to your desktop. Install the Combo update first.

Why is the download speed for Creative Cloud updates and initial software installation so slow?

Why is the download process for Adobe Creative Cloud updates and initial installations so slow? I can download and update other software from other providers almost an order of magnitude faster. This slow download problem has been present since I started using Creative Cloud soon after it was initially offered.
Adobe customer support maintains that there is no throttling at Adobe's end, and that no one has complained about this problem -- this forum shows the latter not to be true.
What is the problem?

Hi ErstwhileCreative,
I don't think I've ever checked the download speed but the installers are definitely large files, many several GB. It might seem longer because the download immediately progresses into the installation at 50%

Download speeds extremly slow for CS6 trial version

I am trying to download the trial version of CS6 using the Adobe download assistant. It is extremely slow (Currently saying it will take another 15 hours to download.) It has been stuck at 987 MB for over two hours. I have a very fast fibre optic line and just did a speed test. I am seeing download speed of 75.79 Mbs so it is not my broadband. I am on Mac OS Lion 5.7. and have plenty of empty disk space. Any ideas of what the problem is?

so it is not my broadband.
