HT201364 Why can't i download maverick when my mac comes with it preinstalled?

I bought a new Mac Book Pro with OS X Maverick. Why can't i download the installer from App Store?

Yes Mavericks can be downloaded but is it the *right* one is what Tuttle was getting at.  Don't take our world for it, take it from Apple:

Notice that even the 13" and 15" Retina models have a different version number.
Here is another thread on the matter:

    why can't i download maverick onto my macbook?

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
      The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks.

    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:

  • HT201303 How can we delete our credit card details and also why can we not download free apps or by apps with credit from an i store card that has been redeemed????

    How can I delete credit cards details from my iPad Air and why cant I use credit from a i store card that has been redeeme?

    To remove the card's details from your iTunes account, tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - on your account's page there should be a payments link. Or you can do it via your computer's iTunes : go into the Store > View Account menu option and log into your account, and on your account's details click on the payment details link.
    Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support
    If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
    What happens when you try to buy something ? If you are trying to gift content then you will need to have a credit card on your account, your balance can't be used for gifting ; if you are trying to buy for yourself and you have a credit card on your account then its details need to be correct and complete - but your balance should be charged for the purchase.

  • HT201364 why can't I download os x mavericks my computer is brand new It keeps defaulting the computer is out of date

    Why am I unable to download os x mavericks on my new macbook pro with retina

    Because the brand new (late 2013) models come with a version of Mavericks tailored to the new hardware.
    Eventually there will be a version you'll be able to download, but the App Store version doesn't currently have the necessary drivers to successfully run your machine.  Check your build number - it's different to the App Store build of 13A603.

  • HT201064 Why can't i download Maverick to my iMac Version 10.7.5

  • Why can't I download Mavericks?

    So I've been trying to download OS X Mavericks from the app store, but it won't let me. Every time I click on the download icon, nothing seems to happen. It shows up in my "purchases" but when I click the download button there, once again nothing happens. I made sure I have plenty of space to be able to download it, so I can't really find a reasoning for why it won't download.
    Am I doing something wrong? How can I fix this issue?

    The reason I bought a late 2008 Macbook pro is it is the only laptop Apple ever produced with a hatch to quickly change the hard drive. So having had a problem loading Mavericks, I swapped in an old 80 GB HD, formatted it and loaded Snow Leopard, then upgraded it to f10.6.8 just to test the download. I also have a new EE/Orange Brightbox router and linked it using an ethernet cable for speed. So no other programs on the disk and therefore no other issues.
    I still can't download Mavericks, the little icon turns for a second or two and then gives up as I have.
    I have had two previous Mac laptops, both fell to pieces after a few years. This current one the plastic hinge broke when it slid off my lap. Cost £400 because you need a new screen. So much for all this aluminium stuff when the hinge is plastic.
    I love Macs but hate the stupid cosmetic design, which is plain impractical. Give me a robust laptop with decent allen key or screw hatches. Also one that's deep enough at the back at least to host a couple of quarter inch jacks and XLRs plus an inbuilt sound card and Full HD 1900 x 1080 screen, no less, no more. Am I the only person that this makes any sense to?
    I also thought about buying an Imac but I see changing the hard drive is a huge problem. I guess I'll go for an Apple Mac Mini and a third party screen just because the Mini has SCREWS!!!

  • Why can't I download the latest CS6 Illustrator Hotfix with AAMEE?

    I tell Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition to Package the latest updates for CS6 Illustrator and what I get is 16.0.3 when the latest update is 16.0.5. I have found the update on Adobe's web site as stand alone exe but it will not install on my installation I'm assuming because I created the original Illustrator Installer package with AAMEE. Why can't AAMEE see the 16.0.5 hotfix?

    Problem solved, The latest hot fix was not a regular update. You have to download the exe form Adobe's websight and follow their instructions to install. you can't just double click the exe. It is a copy and replace the file in the \Support Files\Contents\Windows folder. It is important to make sure you are at the latest version before attempting the update. I trashed my first attempt and had to reinstall. Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I install Mavericks on my mac pro?

    hi, I have macbook pro, intel core 2 duo, 2.33 Ghz. why can't I update it to OS X Mavericks? everytime I click on install, it says "can not be installed on this computer". thanks!

    Check the model number.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    If your model number is less, you'd need a new computer.

  • Why can't I download movies when I've just increased my storage capacity?

    Tried downloading a movie rental but was told I need to increase storage capacity in local settings. I changed my plan to the max amnt
    (55GB) with 49 remaining. However, when I tried downloading a rental once again, the same thing happened.  I've turned my iPad on and
    off to no avail. Thoughts?

    When you download the movie to your iPad, it uses storage space on the iPad itself, purchasing additional iCloud storage will not help you at all. You will need to free up some space on your iPad.

  • HT201364 why can't i download this I have a brand new MacBook

    I have a brand new mac and says I dont have the requirements

    Your "brand new" machine actually has a newer build of Mavericks than the version available on the App Store.  So you can't use the version available in the App Store, as it doesn't include the drivers for your new Retina MacBook Pro.
    If you need to re-install the OS, you can boot into the recovery partition and re-install the OS, so you can get Mavericks that way if you really need it.
