I was downloading Mavericks. Internet failed and now can't resume

I was downloading Mavericks. Internet failed and now can't resume.
I´ve tried several times and it says "OS X Mavericks failed to download"/Use the purchase page to try again. I went to purchase page but is impossible to resume.
Could you help me please?

Whatever you do, DO NOT REFORMAT THE DRIVE. You can just get a small <500Gb EXTERNAL bus powered drive, dismantle it and follow the instructions above. If you already have one then that's even better.
The drive I'm showing here is the drive that used to be inside of my computer. It took apart an old 320Gb seagate drive. The connections on these drives are all universally interchangeable. They just add some circuits and a USB (or other) interface. I would just get the cheapest drive that you can get that is for laptops and looks simple to take apart. (This is almost exactly the drive that I did this too http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-FreeAgent-Portable-External-ST903203FAA2E1-RK/dp/B 001FWIE0K/ref=sr_1_56?ie=UTF8&qid=1343340447&sr=8-56&keywords=seagate+external+h ard+drive)
The "old internal" drive should still be able to allow you to install ML on the "new" drive as long as you tell it to. It sounds complicated, but it's really not once you get in there and start doing it. It was actually quite easy.

  • I downloaded the Adobe Reader and now can't open PDF files

    I downloaded the Adobe Reader after notification on my MacBook Pro and now can't read PDF files

    Yes, I was able to open PDFs until I downloaded the new version as per the alert on my MacBook Pro.  I was using Adobe Reader often. 
    I downloaded whatever they sent me my way (11?) and my operating system is Mac05 (10.5.8-10.9 English).The message says I’ve already downloaded it.  It didn’t mention file.org.  I looked in my preferences and didn’t see Adobe Reader, only Flash Player.
    I’m not terribly computer savvy, so I’m trying to figure this out.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Downloaded latest IOS update and now can't open apps or mail attachments.  Help?

    Just downloaded the latest IOS update on my iPad and now can no longer access app's or attachments in my mail box.
    I am receiving my e-mail but cannot access the internet, Google etc
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Downloaded coupon from shopathome and now can't get onto the internet how do I remove it

    In order to get access to download coupons I had to upload their information and toolbar which is visible on my problem loading page from Mozilla. I was able to get this far by going into windows safe mode.
    I can not get on line by Internet Explorer or MSN. The address is correct. I fear that a virus maybe backdoor or simply the ShopAtHome site has locked me out of the internet. All other computers in the home work on the internet. Is there a way to go back before I downloaded this or is there a way to delete it

    Instructions from the ShopAtHome.com web site ( http://www.shopathome.com/pages/faqs.aspx#gen13):<br />

    I am completely new to iPhone Have been trying to set up and use phone toi get some use out of it.
    So i am a 76year old dummy as far as iphone is concerned
    Can anyone tell me what has happened
    Started out updating iTunes and have ended up wiyh a phone that is jammed and failed to restore. So i am going nowhere.
    I know that i should have gone back to the store but not to mobile today so tried to do the job myself. Looked simple!!!
    Any advice on how i can get out of my predicament???

    You need to plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it. Have you tried that? If so, what happened?

  • ITunes (upgrade) 10.1.0.64(x64) fails and now can't install iTunes

    Hi...need a bit of help here please.
    I've been running iTunes fine now for years and due to the 'always seems to work' I even bought an iPhone and iPad, however I'm now stuck.
    Last Thursday, the iTunes updater service told me a new version was available, without even thinking about it (as it always seems to work) I said yes...oh dear.
    At the end of the installation it wanted to reboot, so I said yes, however after the reboot the iTunes icon wouldn't startup iTunes and complained about a lack permissions. I checked the folder structure and it was true, my account didn't have permissions...in fact no account did other than something called msiserver. So I took over the permission but still nothing.
    I then set about uninstalling iTunes (control panel etc) and downloaded the iTunes64 package from Apple. This time it complained about the "Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be found".
    So...pop over to the iTunes forum and seems like I'm not alone. Advice was to uninstall and download 'Revo Uninstaller' and make sure everything is removed. I did this and rebooted. Tried the installation again and received the same message about the Installer Package.
    Another '****-up' is that when the installation fails, it doesn't remove everything as it's trying to back out. The Mobile Device, Bonjour and Apple Updater remain.
    Any ideas?
    Scott

    I finally got it to work! Whew! Sorry. lol Ok, I went to the support page for iTunes (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/) and went to the Installing and Removing iTunes bar and clicked on the Uninstalling iTunes sub category. Then, I clicked on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. You can choose which article to use depending on your operating system. I followed all the steps then downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and it worked. All of my stuff is back.

  • Downloaded IOS 7.1 and now can't access Game Center or friends list in the games I play on ipad.  What is the fix?

    I downloaded IOS 7.1 on my ipad.  Now I can't open Game Center or access my friends lists in the games I play.  My ipad is about 3 years old.  What is the fix?

    Swiping up from the bottom of the screen with four fingers did not bring up the app preview. A single press on the home button still brings me back to the home screen, but a double press of the home button does nothing following updating to 7.1   Given that, when I added a software home button as suggested by DIAVONEX, I found that all of the apps WERE still open! So thank you DIAVONEX, and you should be careful, bobseufert, as your information was inaccurate.( I did try turning it off and that didn't change anything. ) I don't really want a software home button on my screen, but I guess I will use it until either there is another update to resolve this glitch or someone else identifies a quirky setting that I inadvertently activated...

  • Mountain Lion install failed and now can't access HD

    Currently on a Early 2011 high-end Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard.
    I downloaded and then went to install Mountain Lion, everything was fine and it began to restart for the install after the initial loading thing. However, when it came to install it gave me an error that roughly said the drive is damaged and can't be repaired, telling me to click restart and try installing again. I did this, (taking slightly longer and the colour of the background became more yellow at one point) but instead of the logon pane it went to OSX Utilities.
    On Disk Utility, it said Macintosh HD was unmounted. Below that, under 'disk1' Mac OS X Install ESD appears and then below that under 'disk2' Mac OS X Base System is shown. I tried to mount the HD but it didn't work, and when I tried to repair the disk it said it couldn't be repaired and that I should back up my files. I do think my files are still present, I was able to access them on the Burn pane through the finder window. I then tried to reboot using the Macintosh HD startup disk but that then said it didn't have enough information to do so.
    This person's problem (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3192437) seemed almost identical to mine, however I have files I need and cannot afford to lose them. What do you suggest I do to retrieve my files? That is what I am solely concerned for right now. I backed up the most important files earlier, but I really do not want to lose everything.

    A few days ago, my Airport Express wireless connection stopped working. The network status lights for Internet and Servers are RED and indicate failure. My Ethernet connection works fine. Any idea what my problem is?

    You could try a Safe Boot - restart holding down the shift key until the grey progress bar appears. When it's booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    If that doesn't help you could try an SMC reset:
    SMC Reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer’s power cord and disconnect peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • Downloaded updated Adobe Reader and now can't open attachments

    My MLS system program CoreLogic's Fusion just did updates and the updated version of Adobe Reader is the only one which will allow attachements to be read.  Well, I upgraded my version of Adobe Reader to the right one and it worked for a few minutes but now it doesn't work.  I can't read any attachments.  This is not just my problem.  Others have experienced the same thing.  What can I do to fix this?  It is really a big problem for me in my line of work.

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?  Email client?  If you use web-based email, in what browser.
    Finally, what exactly means "can't"?

  • Downloaded new upgrade Firefox and now can't open firefox. I get the following error message "Offline Mode Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the web."

    The error message says to uncheck the "work offline" menu. Where is the work offline menu?
    I have a Imac and Safari works fine.

    The work offline option can be found from Firefox button -> Web developer or from the menubar toolbar -> Work offline (Or at least thats what happens in Windows).
    Have you any other reason for being offline; router off, firefox not dialing up or whatever. Or is security software or a firewall blocking firefox, or a network connection, or firefox setting etc set wrongly.
