I erased my drive on Macbook pro, trying to reinstale os x Maverick but it is not available on App store, what should I do?

I erased my drive on Macbook pro, trying to re-install os x Maverick but it is not available on App store, what should I do?

Install Yosemite instead of Mavericks. Or you can do the following if your computer supports Internet Recovery:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • I have a early 2008 Macbook pro and just bought a new battery, but it is not holding a charge

    I have a late 2008 Macbook pro and just bought a new battery, but it is not holding a charge.  I read it may be the charger,
    that sometimes is blank, but it does charge my computer.
    Anything I can try?
    I have updated to 10.9.2
    Message was edited by: wplewis

    Bring it back to the Apple store with your MBP and charger.  If the battery is found to be defective, they should provide you with a replacement (assuming you are in the warranty period).

    I have a macbook pro 17" 1,1 model (early 2006), but I do not have installation discs.
    If I order a replacement, what version is it?
    Can I install the latest version 10.8.4 in 1,1 model?
    If it is possible, what I have to do to get it done? And the price?
    Thanks

    MacBookPro1,1 can only run Mac OS X 10.6.8, as it has got a 32-bit processor.
    If you order replacement DVDs, Apple will send you DVDs with the original Mac OS X version that came with your Mac, in this case, Mac OS X 10.4.5.
    If you decide to get replacement DVDs, Apple will only charge you for the delivery

  • Every time i enter my appleID in my MacBook Pro it says-"Your apple ID has not yet been used with the app Store" what should i do?

    Every time i enter my appleID in my MacBook Pro it says-"Your apple ID has not yet been used with the app Store" what should i do? i have even verified my appleID account..please help

    Hey there Mark,
    If this is indeed the first time that you have used your Apple ID in the iTunes or App store you do need to have a payment method the first time you set it up:
    Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    If you've already created your Apple ID, you'll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment methodafter you sign in to the store. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HT1933 I have tried everything including reseting my iPhone but still can't connect to App Store, and it's been over a week now! Totally annoyed now!!

    I have tried everything including reseting my iPhone5c but still can't connect to App Store, and it's been over a week now! Totally annoyed now!! I'm not sure if it started after I updated my iOS cos I was able to update a few other apps. I just can't connect to neither apps store nor iTunes! I need help else I'd boil this phone alive!

    Hello IamJudekow,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with connecting to the App Store on your iPhone 5c.  I found a couple of articles I recommend for this issue.
    First, I recommend using the steps in the section titled “Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch” in the following article (the article title refers to the iTunes Store, but the steps are relevant for the App Store as well):
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    If the issue persists after following the steps in that section, I recommend continuing with the steps in the section titled “Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)” in the article below:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I erased my disk and tried to reinstall Mavericks but "installation information" not available?

    I decided to erase the disk on Macbook Pro late 2011 model and do a clean reinstall of Mavericks.  When I tried to restore the software I get an error message that says something like "installation information for this machine is not available - call AppleCare".   Any suggestions?  Thanks.

  • I am trying to reinstall OS X Mavericks but the disc is locked.

    I Am trying to reinstall os x mavericks after reading pressing alt on start up is the right thing to do. I have followed the instructions upto the point where it has asked me to select the disc. The disc is locked and only has 117mb left. Can someone advise me what to do To get everything working again?

    Repartition and re-format the disk provided it has not failed. If you have a free external drive to use, then you can try cloning the drive to the external to save your data. Otherwise, it is lost:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • Will software that I purchased with my MB Pro transfer to my new MB Air?  They're not showing on App store as purchased.

    When I purchased my 2011 Macbook Pro, I ordered it with several programs, including iWorks, Aperture, and MS Office.  When I look on the App store, neither iWorks or Aperture show up as "installed" (Wasn't really expecting that MS Office would).  Now that I'm getting a Macbook Air, I understand that purchases from the App store will also transfer to my Macbook Air.  However, if they don't show up as "installed" in the app store, will I still be able to get these on the MB Air?  I paid for them - shouldn't I be able to have them as I would the other apps that I purchased on the App store?

    Got me, there.  I had never even opened the software when I received the MBP.  The iWork and the Office software were stashed away, and a little digging around in my wife's office resulted in finding them.  Also, it turns out that I did purchase the Aperture 3 on the App Store, so hopefully I am good to go when the MBA arrives tomorrow.
    Thanks for the reminder.  I appreciate it!

  • Can't erase hard drive on macbook pro

    I've used up all the space on my Macbook Pro and I want to clean it all off, as I do art and college work on it. I have saved the files on USB sticks and I can install the applications and programs I need back off the internet. However, when I look through the internet, they say that I should go to Disk Utility and select the hard drive and click erase. I have done this, but it doesn't give me the option. The button to click is dull and is not highlighted, not allowing me to erase it. I am also worried about getting back on, because some people claim that they have to reinstall OS with a CD, and mine never came with one as I got this laptop in late August 2013. I don't know how to erase it, as I've had this for nearly a year and I haven't erased it once.  Please help, as I need to erase it ASAP!

    If you got it new in August 2013, there aren’t any disks. Restart it with the Command and R keys held down instead.
    Regardless of what model it is, you’ll need to restart from an alternate system, such as a DVD or the recovery partition, before you’ll be able to erase the partition containing the primary one.
