I am unable to download Mavericks from the app store and seem to meet the requirements on my 10,6,8 imac 2010 with 12gb ram

I attempted to download mavericks yesterday in the hopes of using the new lightroom 5 cc.
The download stalled and after an attempt to try anew, I click the download button and nothing happens.
What can I do?

I have restarted the app store, the download button is gray in my "purchased" area and when clicked does nothing, I cancelled yesterday's attempt and started the process again...now there is no response.
I have downloaded a small app to see if the process works...and it does
I have x 'd out of the download which has yesterday's date...
I have clicked the install app button and it asks for my log in approval
In the purchase area the button is grayed out...I logged into my account and saw that I could "unhide" it.
I clicked it again and nothing happens....
How can I start over?

Unable to download Mavericks from my list of purchases (current OSX: 10.8.5)

Hi,
I'm currently working on OSX 10.8.5, and am having trouble downloading Mavericks from the AppStore.
I've previously installed Mavericks using my own Apple ID on another Mac some weeks ago.
When I open the App Store and go to 'Purchases', I can see Mavericks in the list of available apps. However, when I try to download, I get the message 'You have updates available for other accounts' claiming that I have to 'Sign in to (AppleID) to update applications for that account.'.
The Apple ID in question belongs to a friend of mine. I can't be sure, but he may have installed Mountain Lion on this Mac at some point. However, even when he logs in to the App Store (using Store -> Sign Out / Sign In) and tries to download Mavericks, he gets exactly the same dialog message, preventing the download from starting.
Crytpically, the dialog message still shows the same AppleID, even though that's the currently signed-in account.
I'm at a bit of a loss at the moment. I've tried varying combinations of signing in / out of the App Store (as well as quitting and re-launching it, in case that was the issue). I'm not really sure what to do at the moment. As it stands, I'm stuck with 10.8.5 with no possibility of installing the update.

I would use the Mac that already has Mavericks installed and resownload the installer. Then either make a bootable Mavericks installer on a thumb drive or just transfer the installer to the other Mac.

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
Step 2
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.

How come I can't download anything from mac app store?
I've tried everything it all started when my apple app store icon in the doc disappeared.
It will not go to the Mac App Store
I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?

If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.

How do I remove my old iMac from my App Store and iTunes Store accounts?

Before I sold my friend my old iMac, I used the Migration Assistant to transfer all her files from her MacBook Pro to the iMac. I then deleted all my files. My old iMac and her MacBook Pro were both upgrated to Mavericks before the Migration.
Now, she is being prompted to download and install the updates for Numbers and Pages on what used to be my iMac, but the App Store displays my account identification and asks for my password.
(1) How can I delete my old iMac from my App Store and iTunes Store accounts?
(2) How can she access the App Store and iTunes Store using her own accounts?
Thanks in advance.

That isn't how to prepare a Mac to sell or give away. You should deauthorize your iTunes account on the Mac. Call Apple Care and have the Mac disassociated from your Apple ID. Then erase the Mac and install the latest version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac using the Install DVD or OS X Recovery, depending on what version shipped on the Mac. Until you do this, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps belong to you. She will need to buy the iWork apps for herself, using her own account. You cannot pass any apps that you bought on to her, that would be piracy.

If you mean the DL appears to be stalled give it about half an hour, if there's no movement restart and the DL should pick up from where it left off.

I keep getting 'unknown error' after clicking 'install app' when trying to download Mavericks from the App store.

Trying to install Mavericks from the App store on my 2011 11" Macbook air, (wihch has more than 15GB free space). After clicking 'Install App', and entering the Apple ID password, I get 'unkonwn error'.

You can't use Safari to download iPad apps. Only use iTunes/App Store.

Unable to download Mavericks from AppStore - Error 1004

I want to redownload Maverick to diagnose and possibly fix a problem with iTunes. After which I may upgrade to Yosemite
I go into Appstore, click on 'Purchases' then try to download Mavericks. The action fails with the error message "Error 1004 please try again later.". Then it says "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (13)"
I've been trying to download it for a few days now. Is there a problem with Apple's servers?

I think that I may be getting somewhere.
Before I originally downloaded Mavericks I partitioned my HDD into two volumes. On that new, 50GB, volume I then downloaded and installed Mavericks. I did this so that I could test out various items of software first, such as my printer drivers and such. Upgrading my system in the past once left me with only a partially function A-I-O printer with it taking over two years for the full functionality to be restored after several updates.
On a hunch I have booted into my Mavericks partition and now, finally, I find I can re-download the installer from 'Purchases'.
So I now intend to stop the Installer when it starts up then (if I can find it) either drag it over to my original HDD volume using Finder, then reboot into Mountain Lion to re-run the Installer, or I might quit the installer, reboot into Mountain Lion then locate the installer and run it again. Or maybe copy it to a memory stick and run it from there. I'm guessing as long as I'm booted into a Mountain Lion admin. account this should enable me to upgrade my main Mountain Lion partition to Mavericks.
If this works I might upgrade the small Mavericks Partition to Yosemite to test that out for a while. I will probably not wait until the next OS upgrade to be released before I do that however.

Can't download anything from iTunes/App store

For the past week, everytime I try to download anything from the App store or iTunes I get a message saying "Unable to Download App" then it says "name of app/song trying to download" could not be downloaded at this time. Done or Retry.
I have logged out of iCloud, iTunes and my AppleiD and nothing has worked. I went online on my Mac and updated my credit card (which was not out of date) and tried to buy a sont on my Mac...purchased, but could not be downloaded. All my devices are having the same problem. In the Error details on my Mac it says to check the Internet connection and try again. My wifi is working fine on my mac and iPhone.
Any suggestions?
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1, since last iOSupdate was installed

I found a solution, and it's horrible.
1. Back up your data. I used iCloud, but I also made a restore file through itunes, though you CAN'T USE THAT RESTORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. It will just install the problem anew! Delightful!.
And then, basically do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 which translates to:
2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data
3. Set up your iPad as a new ipad - if you choose to restore from an old restore file, you'll just reinstall the original problem.
4. Connect to iCloud to reclaim your iCloud stuffs.
5. Spend the next hour annoyed and frustrated as you restore your music, photos, apps, etc... to what you think you had them.
But miraculously, this let our ipad download apps again.
Again, restoring from a backup will not fix the problem.
All this speaks to some issue that requires the drive on the ipad to be reformatted with new permissions, or something, which is pretty **** annoying. Waiting to see the problem re-appear after it's finished syncing my music. Hurray!

How can I download lion from Mac app store in recovery mode on an imac?

I bought a mid-2007 imac from a friend, who the computer was working perfectly for. When I went to start up it wouldn't start up (past the gray screen) from the regular HD no matter how many tricks I tried (resetting SMC, PRAM, etc), so I went in to recovery mode. I verified and repaired the disc more than once (even though it said it was fine), and tried to reinstall lion from the online recovery function but it said "item temporarily unavailable." I basically tried every combo of things possible before erasing the HD but nothing worked, so then I decided to erase the HD.
SO that happened, and now I can still boot up in recovery mode and it -seems- like if I can find a way to reinstall lion (which was the last os running), I may be back in business.
however, see the problem with "item temporarily unavailable."
I decided to purchase it from the Mac store online on a different device and it says it will email me a link in 1-3 business days (really??! That long to save me with an EMAIL LINK???), and my thought is that maybe I can log in to my email from the safari window and download it that way. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to access the Mac app store if that is where it downloads from.
Ultimately, I'm trying to avoid a trip to the Apple Store because this thing will be a nightmare to lug on public transportation. My questions for you are as follows:
- how likely do you think it is that I'll be able to successfully download lion from the email link in recovery mode?
- Do actual discs with lion exist anywhere in the wide world? If so, how can I get one?
- would it be worth it to grab an old lion usb stick from amazon?
- is there ANY other way to reinstall lion or install a new os on this thing without physically taking the computer anywhere?

What a silly company , i have the same exact problem with my macbook pro and i've checked every topic that mention this problem and they didn't solve it .

I can't download Pages from Mac App Store

I have been having some trouble in dowloading Page from Mac App Store.
I had dowloaded and used before, but recently I reinstalled the Mac OS.
When the download reachs amost 10MB, it restarts a few times and gives me the message: "Pages failed to download. Use the Purchases page to try again."
I tried both two following methods:
1 - open $TMPDIR/../C* and deleted com.apple.appstore
2 - Quit App Store.
Open Terminal.
Execute this: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
Launch App Store.
At the Menu bar, there should be a "Debug".
Click on that and press "Reset Application"
Restart App Store.
But none of them worked for me.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers.
