How to download Mavericks a second time?

I have limited bandwidth at home so downloaded and installed Mavericks on my Air at work.
I also have a 27" iMac at home. I thought I would be able to use the same down load to update both machines but it was deleted once I installed it on my Air. Now I cannot download it again on the Air.
I go to App store and click to down load it, it says it is already installed and asks me to hit continue if I wish to download again, which I do but then nothing happens and no download starts. Any Ideas anyone? Is it a bug in the App Store?

Open App Store, click on Purchases icon in the toolbar. Locate your Mavericks purchase and click on the re-download button on the right. Note that since you have Mavericks installed you cannot re-download it. If you wish to reinstall it:
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
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I think I downloaded Mavericks a second time by mistake

    I just downloaded Mavericks.  It went through quite painlessly but after the restart I noticed that there were already some updates.   In the purchased apps listing, I believe I mis-clicked something about a complete download insted of just updating it so I now have another Mavericks download waiting to be installed (took about an hour the first time and five the second!).  If I haven't installed it, can I just throw the download in the trash?

    Apple are not here. This is a user-to-user support forum only.
    iCloud is free.
    The only cost is additional, optional storage (paid annually) which cannot be purchased "by mistake" - it takes numerous steps and asks for payment details.
    £70 is the cost for the maximum 50GB of optional extra storage.
    Check your card payment statement if you can't remember whether you went through the purchase process and confirmed the purchase.

  • How to download lion a second time

    It looks like my first download of lion is corrupted. I want to download the file again but the App store says it is alreayd installed and won't allow me to redownload it. Any ideas?
    The install failed at boot and I kept getting errors. I can now only boot to Snow leopard via the boot options.

    Boot into Snow Leopard then open the App Store and log in using the same Apple ID you used when you purchased Lion. Click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry.
    FYI:

    Yes, but you must first install Snow Leopard unless you still have an active download button on your Mountain Lion purchase entry in App Store.

  • I cannot download Mavericks. Every time the file download stops a message appears that says the file is damaged and cannot be used to install Mavericks. I delete the file, download again and the same message appears. What can I do?

    I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
    I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
    Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

  • Purchased Direct Access from iTunes.  I cannot locate the download and I cannot download it a second time.  Any ideas as to where the original download might reside?

    I've checked my downloads folder, the movie I rented is nowhere in my itunes library, but if I go to rent it again the store tells me I will be renting it a second time. *** apple? I've got a show in an hour, guess I'll rent it twice. Thanks.

    You donwloaded it on your ipod ( this is the ipod forum)?  it is in the videos app.
    On your computer?  it should be in your library under movies.

  • How to download maverick?

    I need to update one of my computers to instal Pages... I really DON'T want Yosemite (not only it's super ugly but i've read way to much bad stuff about this system). My other computer is on Maverick and is working fine. I want to update the second one but can't find how to download it.
    Right now the computer is on 10.7.3

    Have you ever downloaded Mavericks? If so, then as long as you are using 10.7.3 you can upgrade to Mavericks on the App Store.

  • How to execute f.07 second time

    hi all,
    i am trying to do f.07 second time.but it says 'no changes need to be made'
    how to do this.
    thanks,
    kumar

    Please read the F1 help:
    SAP recommends that the program is run at the beginning of the new fiscal year. If the program is already run at the end of the last fiscal year, postings which are posted after this to the last fiscal year, do not result in automatic adjustment of the balance carried forward because it is not a "posting to a previous year". In such a case, it is necessary t let the program run again after these postings to carry forward the postings entered later.
    The program can be started as often as desired.
    Nevertheless, you can post to the new year if the program has not yet run. When posting, the accounts, however, with a balance carried forward of greater than zero are opened. Postings in the previous year do increase this balance carried forward, but do not carry forward the total of the items already posted in the old year to the new year; the balance carried forward only has the items posted by the new year into the previous year, but not the items posted in the previous year itself.

  • HT201364 How to download Mavericks

    I have a new MBP with Mavericks "factory installed". I want to make a USB recovery drive. Step 1 in this procedure requires me to download a copy of the Mavericks installer app. However, the App Store will not let me download it. Please advise how to download the Maverics install app.

    There are two ways to download Mavericks on pre-installed systems.
    1. Restart using Command+R to boot into the Recovery HD. From the OS X Utilities Menu, select Reinstall OS X.
    2. Restart using Command+Option+R to boot into Internet Recovery which boots into Apple's servers and their Recovery HD. From the OS X Utilities Menu, select Reinstall OS X.
    The above 2 methods will download AND install Mavericks to the target drive.
    What you might try is the following to extract the necessary file(s) to create a USB thumb drive installer:
    Plug in a formated USB external drive (not a USB thumb drive unless its 32GB) and point to that drive to install to.
    You will have to watch the download and when your Mac restarts after the download and at the black screen, unplug your external drive. You should boot to your normal Desktop.
    Plug your USB external drive back in and look for an InstallESD.dmg file. It might be in a folder named something like "OS X Install Files". Copy it some where like your ~/Downloads folder or your ~/Desktop.
    Download DiskMaker X 3.0.3. When prompted for the Install OS X Mavericks.app file, point to the InstallESD.dmg file from the above step. Point to a USB thumb drive (8GB) as the destination drive.
    I don't know if the above steps will work as I don't have a Mac with Mavericks pre-installed. But I got that last step from the DiskMaker X FAQ under the question of "I got my version of OS X pre-installed with my Mac. How can I get the OS X installer ?"

  • How to download Mavericks

    I connected my Mac Mini via Ethernet in order to download Mavericks. I chose a nighttime download. My Mac runs Mountain Lion. After eleven hours it has pausd on 900 MB, and states that there is an error. This is my third attempt and it always ends this way. Any suggestions?

    Make sure your Mac can run Mavericks.

  • HT201364 how to download mavericks, with lion installed?

    Can I download Maverick for free?.

    thank you for your response. I had Mavericks installed on my computer and after updating to Yosemite my computer ran slow. Very slow. Dead slow. So I restarted it with its original OS software which is Lion. I was hoping to get back to Mavericks where I had no issues with.

  • How can I install Mavericks a second time?

    I tried installing mavericks and got the disk corrupted error. I found I couldn't fix it, so I tried installing again this time onto an attached hard drive. This sort of worked, and allowed me to run diagnostics on internal hard drive ( it's fine ). Now I want to install Mavericks again on the internal hard drive but when I boot from the internal drive ( again, it's fine ) Software Update ( App Store ) tells me that Mavericks is installed on my 10.8.5 OS computer and won't let me do anything to fix that.
    What I want to do is update my internal drive and use that to boot from. It's not apparent how I can do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    The Mavericks installer should be located in your Applications folder. If it's not there anymore open App Store. Go to "Purchases" and click on the "Download" button next to Mavericks.
    Disconnet the external drive. That's why you're getting the message that Mavericks is already installed.
