Impossible to download OSX Mavericks from App Store

I would like to upgrade to Mavericks, but I can't download OSX Mavericks form AppStore, because my computer is always smashing into the process. After restart, I see in Launchpad, that the download is in progress, but it is paused.
I tried it several times, but the result is always the same: I have to press power button to get my computer alive again.
I have a MacBook Pro, purchased in May 2010, running OSX Lion. Could anyone help me how to solve this?

I tried with wifi and with cable as well. Unfortunately with the same result.
Some days ago (since 24.11) my computer seems to be totally damaged, because it is smashing always in ten minutes after start. It is no matter if I start a browser or just want to write an email. After a few minutes comes the "beachball"... I think it has to get a clean install, but to manage that, I would have an OSX setup file.
Before 24.11 evening it has no problem except this download issue.

  • Cannot download Mavericks from App Store

    Hello to all,
    I just want to download OS X Mavericks from App Store and I get a simple error message:
    "We could not complete your purchase.
    OS X Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer."
    And the "Learn More" button points me to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    I am doing this from my brand new Mac Book Pro 13'' Retina (Late 2013), running Mavericks 10.9.1.
    My objective is to install Mavericks on my Mac Mini (a system bought at the beginning of 2013), whose original harddrive was replaced with an SSD. That is the reason I just want to do a fresh install on it.
    Waiting for feedback.
    Thank you.
    Marius

    Hi Thomas,
    I should boot a Linux distro from USB just to erase the disk, although I would expect that as an option to be provided during the setup of the Mac OS X installation process.
    Anyway, meanwhile I am following this guide here: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/apple-in-the-enterprise/how-to-create-a-bootabl e-usb-to-install-os-x-mavericks/.
    While writing this response, I manage to follow the whole article and the result is successful for now: right now I am in the process of installing the Mavericks. Interesting is that after booting from the USB I also got "Your computer restarted..." error, but after that the reboot started the installation process. Then I manage to erase the SSD drive using Disk Utility provided during installation.
    Well... 5 minutes left. :-)
    Again, thanks a lot for the quick answers!

  • I deleted my iMovie from computer and from my purchases list in AppStroe. When I'm trying to download it again from App Store a pop up window comes up and says: "These apps were already assigned to your Apple ID and are available in your Purchases list"

    I deleted my iMovie from computer and from my purchases list in AppStroe. When I'm trying to download it again from App Store a pop up window comes up and says: "These apps were already assigned to your Apple ID and are available in your Purchases list". Please help me to reinstall it.

    If new versions of iPhoto and the other iLife applications (iMovie and GarageBand) were purchased by the previous owner from the Mac App Store, then they will be locked to the previous owner's Apple ID and cannot be transferred to you. You will have to re-purchase them under your own Apple ID.
    If this is an older MBA that came with Snow Leopard or an earlier version of Mac OS X, though, the system would have come with an installation disk that included the iLife applications, a disk which the seller should have provided to you. Those iLife applications would be older versions, of course, and may or may not work in Lion depending on how old they are.
    Regards.

    Can I get a direct download link other than from app store

    Try opening the Terminal utility in your system and running the following command to open the system's caches folder:
    open $TMPDIR../C
    Then locate and remove the folder called "com.apple.appstore" and then try relaunching the App Store and downloading the installer again.

  • I download a game from app store and when i start to play my macbook heats up

    The MBA may be used for light game playing. It's not designed for heavy games that demand lots of CPU and GPU power. So you need to determine if the demands of the games meet what the MBA can deliver. It's also possible you are trying to play a game version that is not wholly compatible with the version of OS X in use. This can cause issues with compatibility. It's important that your MBA possesses the minimum hardware needed for a game. Note that having the minimum hardware does not mean that the MBA is suitable hardware.

  • Only allow my kids to download freeware version from app store

    Hello All,
    I have created app store account, but I only want to allow my kids to download freeware version from app store..so the kids should ask me to login before they able to purchase something from app store..
    I need advise..
    many thanks in advance
    Regards

    What kind of advice do you want? We don't read minds here.
    As long as you don't give the kids your password thay can't buy anything. However, your password is good for 15 minutes, if you walk away they could then buy something when you are not looking. So it is best to sign out of the account immediately after the free item has downloaded.
    If you remove the bank card from the account they also can't buy anything.

  • Download installation files from app store to make a bootable USB

    Hi,
    I just got a new mac mini with OS X Server 10.8.2. I want to replace the original hard drive with an SSD, but I have problems downloading installation files from app store to make a bootable USB stick.
    When i click the Purchases button it tells me that OS X Server is already installed, and I'm not able to download the files.
    I have tried all the diffrent forms of Option key clicks but nothing works.
    Anyone out there who have a solution?
    Is it possible to get the installation media in some other way?
    By the way. Is it possible to install the non server version on a computer thats bought with the server version pre installed.
    I thought so. But I read something about firmware problems on a forum page?
    BR
    Daniel

    You cannot download Mountain Lion or Mountain Lion Server from the App Store if it was pre-installed on the computer.
    You can call Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. They may be willing to arrange a download for you. Or you can reinstall via Internet Recovery: OS X (Lion/Mountain Lion)- About OS X Recovery.
    No, you can purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store on the computer you want to install it if it now has Snow Leopard or Lion running.

  • When downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    when downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    Unfortunately there's no way around this.  you will need that password to update the apps. If he won't give it to you, then i'm not sure what to say.
    You should have kept the account with the Apps you bought yourself.
    Otherwise, as I said, delete the Apps, and buy them again.
    Sorry.
