How do I re-download the OS Maverick if I don't have the 'disk'
I don't understand what disk I'm suppose to have
To redownload Mavericks, you can open the Mac App Store, the stylized A inside the blue circle on the Dock, then click Purchases and see if it shows up there.
If not, restart the computer holding the Command and R keys, the from the utilities drop down that opens, select Reinstall Mac OS. That will cause the Mavericks Installer to download...the file is 5.31 GB and will take a considerable amount of time to download.

I have the white screen of death, but am able to get into OS X utilitites. I have verifed disk and it's ok. I am trying to reinstall mavericks, but i don't have enough disk space. Dilemma is i can't get onto computer to delete files to create space.
Any suggestions?Upgrade iPhoto:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
I'm trying to install Mavericks and got this message: You need 4.94 GB of available space to download OS X Mavericks. Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space. How do I do this?
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 iMac'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!
Look though other Apple Mail folders like the junk mail and delete the mail that is in there. Look through your sent items folders and see there is any mail in there that can be deieted.
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.
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! -
I messed up and deleted a few songs by mistake. When I go to the "purchases" option it only lists apps and books that have been downloaded, but music is not an option to see what was downloaded previously. Anyone know how I can re-download the songs ?

How can I re-download the purchased in iTunes?
How can I re-download the purchased in iTunes? I purchased yesterday as I download the album there are many songs came in fragmented.
Your kind help would be highly appreciated.
ThanksIf you try to download something that you've already bought, then you don't have to buy it again. You can just press download. Therefore, if the songs are fragmented, you can just delete them and re-download them without paying a penny

I recently purchased a movie at 1080p and when I went to view it, I received a message stating 1080p is too large for playback. How can I re-download the movie at 720?
Not sure what happend there. But ATV only streams, no HD so if you leave it too long, the whole download gets lost.
Check with iTS.

I downloaded a song from i-tunes. It plays on my computer, but won't play on my i-phone. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or how can I re-download the song without getting charged a second time. I could not find an option to "report a problem".
I could not find an option to "report a problem".
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.) -

You can't export the History in Firefox. It is possible to copy History items and paste them to a Bookmarks Folder and export the Bookmarks to an HTML or paste the history items to an HTML editor.

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.
You may be experiencing this phenomenon:

How, specifically, do I download the latest operating system for my Mac laptop?
How, specifically, do I download the latest operating system for my Mac laptop?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

How do I re-download the mpeg 2 playback component that was purchased more than 18 months ago?
I wanted to check to see if I could re-download the installer for the QT MPEG 2 Playback Component, which I had purchased several years ago, but have since lost since I wiped my hard drive and upgraded my system to Leopard. I have a copy of the app from the backup I made of my old system, but just copying it over to the new Applications folder doesn't seem to do anything.
I went to check on my order history at the Apple Store to see if there was any indication I could re-download the installer. I logged into one of my Apple Store accounts (I have two, accidentally), but it had no order history for the past 18 months, and I couldn't look further back. I purchased the MPEG 2 decoder several years ago.
Not only that, but I could NOT logout in order to log in to my other account. If there's a logout button anywhere on any of the pages in my account I checked, it was very well hidden. WHERE IS THE FRIKKIN' LOGOUT BUTTON!!!???
I managed to log into my other account by switching to Firefox, but of course, it didn't have any purchase history past 18 months back.
How can I re-download the installer? I another thread, I saw someone mention re-downloading the decoder from the "Downloadable Applications Page in your account," but can't find anything like that in either of my accounts.
ThanksI am suspecting Apple have made a change since I last had to do this and have caused a FUBAR. If you read http://store.apple.com/uk/help/downloads?mco=MTM3NDgzNTM we are all doing it the right way but the option is not being listed when it should.
As I read the above document and as I recall from the past, we should be seeing a Software download option on the main account page of the Apple webstore once you have logged in and this option should automatically be listed if your account has been previously used to purchase downloadable software.
I suspect either they have incorrectly cleared older than 18month order data from accounts rather than merely not giving an option to list older orders, or that as part of the move to the App Store for downloads they have change the process and as a result messed things up.
I would suggest the following to you all.
If possible find your email confirmation of the original order to use as evidence
Ring the Apple Store phone line
It is possible the Apple Store person will be able to see older orders than the website is allowing you to see and they will be able to trace your original order
They may choose to solve the problem by giving you a credit for a new purchase
