Error in downloading os x maverick

unable to upgrade to OS X MAVERICKS. msg : An error has occured. download button is greyed out with no label

So, if I upgrade OS X Mavricks from OS 10.8.5 there will be issues with Iphoto or Imovie though they say they require OS X 10.9??? Those upgrade requirements never mention Mavericks.

Persistent error when attempting to download OS X Mavericks

I am attempting to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac Dev Center. After I click "Get Download Code", I get the following error:
What am I doing wrong? I clicked the equivalent button for OS X Mountain Lion and it worked without any issues. I attempted this both from Safari on my OS X 10.10.2 machine and from Firefox on my Ubuntu machine. Neither of them worked.

If you never downloaded Mavericks in the past, then you cannot download it now. If you had installed Mavericks before, then you can re-download it from the Purchases page in the App Store. Otherwise, you are stuck with Yosemite.

Where do I locate the startup disc?

The startup disk is your hard drive, where you store all your programs and data. Probably named Mac HD in Finder. Read this:

I keep getting an error after downloading the Mavericks upgrade

I have a 2011 mac mini running Lion 10.7.5 that I want to upgrade to mavericks. I have not had it very long so I hardly have anything on it. I have downloaded and installed all of the updates and verified that the hdd is ok and downloaded the free Mavericks upgrade then when it finishes the 5.30 gb file download I get an error and a cancel or retry option. Did this 3 times. I would appreciate any help or ideas that anyone can suggest. Thanks

HI, Thanks for asking but although i can use wifi, I made sure that I am using the wired ethernet for the upgrade. It will complete the download but just as soon as it completes the 5.30 gb file that is when I get the error. I think that I have everything covered on the check list as far as preparing it for Mavericks. I have no hardware hooked up to it only usb keyboard and bluetooth mouse. I even unhooked the super drive. After doing some checking I'm not so sure that the upgrade is worth it. I have a program I want to install that says requrements are Mac OSX 10.8 or higher that is why I wanted to do it but the majority or people seem to be having serious issues with Mavericks. I'm starting to think it may not be worth the trouble. Thanks for your reply

"An Error Occurred" Downloading Mavericks

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade my Mac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.4. My problem is that I cannot fully download the file without an Error Message.
When I go to download Mavericks either from the Updates or Purchases window, it downloads 1.02 GB and then suddenly stops and gives the message:
"The application could not be downloaded. The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again."
Also, in red letters next to the download button it says:
"An error has occurred"
Here are the de-bugging steps I have taken:
Restarting the software
Restarting the computer
Attempting to download Mavericks in Safe Mode through the App store (same result)
Clearing App Store cookies through the "Debug" menu
Resetting application through the "Debug" menu
Removing software application "Growl" per this thread's suggestion
Switching my internet connection from ethernet to Wifi with a different internet connection
Downloading from Purchases window
Downloading from Updates window
Downloading from OSX Mavericks page accessible on the "Features" page in the App Store.
Creating another Admin account and trying to download through the new account.

APP Store Error when downloading Mavericks

I am unable to download Mavericks from the App store.
I see the following message in my Console:
3/20/14 9:31:54.696 PM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.apple-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [323] for authorization created by '/Applications/App Store.app' [492]
3/20/14 9:31:54.717 PM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [323] for authorization created by '/Applications/App Store.app' [492]
I have tested my Apple userID and password … it's ok.
I am running 10.7.5 on a Apple MacPro 5.1
one other piece of information: I was able to initiate the download 2 days ago, but my internet connection failed and I had to reboot. I have been uable to resume or re-initiate the download/upgrade to Mavericks since.
Thanks in advance.

Step 1
Open LaunchPad and find the icon of the app "Install OS X Mavericks." There will be a small progress bar below it. Click the "X" to stop the download, then try again
Step 2
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Error on downloading Yosemite from App Store

This is to open a separate specific issue that was also a problem from creating a Yosemite boot disk on a flash drive.
I had previously downloaded and installed Yosemite from the Apple upgrade site. I installed it and then my MacBook Pro started to malfunction to an unusable state. I erased my HD and restore back to my Mavericks - 10.9.5 - backup on Time Machine. I found that iTunes was now corrupt and want to try to install Yosemite from a clean HD and start over. So I have created an empty thumb drive with a single partition to use as a bootable drive to do a clean install after wiping the HD.
I now cannot download the Yosemite installer from the App Store though. I get a popup saying: "OS X Yosemite failed to download. Use the Purchases page to try again." When I go to the Purchases option at the top of the page, I get a new one page listing Yosemite (dated 10/9/2014) with a red message "An error has occurred." I have tried 3x to download again and no luck. The history also gives the option of downloading Mavericks (2/25/2014) and has iPhoto (10/20/2014) ready to Install. In the Application folder it has the Yosemite install icon greyed out with an X at the corner to cancel the install. Clicking it and confirming cancel of the install, I still get the same download error after. The download bar under the Application folder is blank, i.e. no progress.
How do I get around this?

Even the ignorant get lucky sometimes, or sometimes they just think they are lucky and will find out soon that they aren't so lucky. In any case, in my desperation to get my MBP operable again, I seem to have made some progress. I had been unable to get my first install of Yosemite to work so I ended up reverting back to Maverick via a complete restore from Time Machine. As noted above I still couldn't get a successful download of either Maverick or Yosemite to use to make a recovery flash drive (in order to wipe my HD and start over). I thought maybe I could use the built-in recovery disk on my HD to get a clean copy of Mavericks and hopefully that would fix things. I thought Mavericks would be on the recovery partition (if that's the right term) since I was running a restored Maverick. I found that the version there was 10.10 - Yosemite even though I was running Maverick Since I had already used Time Machine to restore to Mavericks I felt comfortable in seeing what would happen if I restored from the Yosemite recovery. Well - it worked. It got me up and running and let me download and complete the install of Yosemite. It now runs smoother then it did before without the spinning beachball of death all the time. But iTunes will still not launch so I need to figure that out. And I downloaded the Yosemite Installer which I can use to make a recovery flash drive.

Because there is a flaw in the App Store that gives you an alert you can never ever get rid of telling you to download Mavericks, even though when you click it then tells you your machine is too (I have to say 'darn' here because Apple automatically astersiks out the first word I used that also begins with d and is four letters) old. So you have to live with that little "1 update available" alert, though in reality, you cannot install it. You can imagine that either it is a sinister plot to wear away at you to buy some new hardware, even though yours is working just fine, or that it is a programming error Apple just doesn't care enough about to correct.

Download os x mavericks

i have a late 2008 mac pro model. trying to download os x mavericks and won't let me. i meet all the requirements to download but unable to. why is this?

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

HT201364 You need 4.93 GB of available space. I cannot download OS X Mavericks. I obtain the following answer: Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space. How do I know what items I should remove in order to make more space available?

You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!
