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.

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.

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.

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.

I know about > command R and how to download ML. richard

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.

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?

HT1390 Where the **** is the downloaded movie? I already tried to download it a second time and the computer tells me it recognizes I already downloaded this movie, but I go to itunes and movies and it is not listed.

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 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.

When downloading Firefox, the second time I click run I do not get the set up wizard and Firefox won't install on my PC. Why?

When I first click download and run, It takes about 2.5 minutes to download the program. It then prompts me to click run again, but this time instead of taking me to the Wizard as it says it will, it processes for about 2 seconds and all prompts go away without installing Firefox.

Hi sahgin,
The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply.

As a new user of apple TV, I need some advice. When I rent a movie from Itunes for viewing later, it seems to download for a second time, with a message saying ready to view in 30 mins, it proceeds to load up all over again. What am I doing wrong

As a new user of Apple TV, I need some assistance.When I rent a movie on iTunes and download for viewing later, say a day or two later, It seems to load itself all over again with a msg saying ready to view in 25 mins ! So having waited the 25 mins movie starts and runs for maybe 1 hour and the pauses for maybe 5 mins while it seems to load again . any help appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you use the Apple TV for something else or turn it off it will erase whatever is on it's drive. If you are going to download content for later viewing you might consider doing it on the computer, downloads don't disappear until they expire and you can watch them as many times as you want.

Unable to download podcast the second time

Using iTune with my ipod touch, once I started downloading a podcast (whether I finish it or not), if I deleted the podcast afterward or while downloading I am unable to re-download it again.
Is there a way to do that? Thanks!

I'm absolutely baffled as to why it was once available on iTunes, I know this cause I subscribed back in sept, but now it's not.
I've just (gone out of my way and) done a web search for the Glenn Beck Insider Podcast. This took me to the Glenn Beck website, where six of the links from the home page were "page not found!" I have even found a direct link to the site for Podcast, which took a long time, but the page has finally loaded.
It's unclear when, but there has been a change to the way this provider offers the Podcast. It refers to the Podcast as a new feature, available only to Insider Pass Members, and if I launch the iTunes link for the Podcast, it takes me to a login page.
So first of all, the Podcast is only available to signed up members of the Glenn Beck Podcast. So this is not a straight forward Podcast, it has additional steps (and hurdles) to get through before the Podcast can be downloaded. This probably explains why I can't find it in the store.
In the end, I stick by my previous advice - contact the Podcast provider because only they know how their complex system works. Frankly, I'm not even sure of that judging by the number of "page not found" links on their site. What is certain in my mind is, you won't find the solution through Apple.

I opened iTunes today to find that at some point, it had downloaded everything a second time, with the duplicates having the iCloud symbol next to them. As a result, all of my albums now have every song twice. How do I stop this??

This is extremely annoying as I have over 100 albums and I have to manually go through and 'hide' each duplicate. Attatched is an example:
Not only that, but every time I sync my iPad/iPod's with my PC, the same happens on those devices, with albums copied on twice!!
Any help on resolving this annoyance would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the help.
This seems to have solved the issue!
Thanks again

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:

How do I download a voice memo a second time?

I have a series of voice memos I recorded for work. After I downloaded, we accidently erased them from the iTunes library.
Now we need to re-dowload them to iTunes. However, because iTunes "remembers" that it has already downloaded the memos, it won't automatically download - and they are too big to send by email or message. How can I either manually download them to my computer (or anywhere!), or convince iTUnes to download them a second time?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks. But again:
1. the memos have been erased from the libarary and are no longer availabe anywhere, excpet for my phone.
2. when I sync my phone, it will download new voice memos, but the older ones (that have already been downlaoded, and erased) are not downloaded, because iTUnes knows that it has already downloaded them.
I neeed to figure out how to get iTunes to not recognize that it has already dowlowed copies of these files so that it will re-download them.
