I want to download OS X Yosemite, but can't! Help!

I want to download OS X Yosemite.
When I go to the App Store and find Yosemite, the pulldown menu's only option is "Get".  I push it.  Nothing happens - it just grays out.  Shouldn't this button say "Download" or "Install" instead of "Get"?
I tried restarting my computer and looking around online, but have yet to find any answers.
I have plenty of hard drive space and have backed up the computer.

They are using "Get" in place of Purchase. Does your computer meet all the requirements?
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • I am receiving an error message "Error: 150:30" after having my computer serviced. Repair shop completely stripped down my machine and reloaded Operating system, Yosemite 10.10.1. tried to download a Licensing update, but can't get that to open.????

    I am receiving an error message "Error: 150:30" after having my computer serviced.
    Repair shop completely stripped down my machine and reloaded Operating system, Yosemite 10.10.1.
    I tried to download a Licensing update, but can't get that to open.????
    My machine had originally been a clone of another Mac. Not it looks like a brand new computer.
    Possibly there is something in system preferences to change? I turned off Firewall and allow downloads from all parties.
    Thank You for you help!
    joe

    150:30 means the licensing failed. Photoshop can't be moved like other programs from another drive or from backup.
    I would suggest a reinstall to fix it. Anytime you move Photoshop from from drive to another, it breaks licensing. A install is the quickest way. to fix it.
    When you are done with the install, apply all CS4 updates.  Product updates
