Is Mavericks available from the AppStore?

I have a Mac for sale and so I've followed this ( What to do before selling or giving away your Mac ) and used DiskUtility to safely erase the HDD, ( I got down to and the first part of step 5 done) but now when I try to reinstall OS X Maverick I log into my Apple ID and then I get a pop up message
"This item is temporarily unavailable, please try later" is Apple no longer verifying Maverick? How do I get an OS on my Mac now then?

Lion creates a hidden Recovery partition from which you can boot your Mac and perform repairs in the disk. See:

  • An error has occurred when trying to download Mavericks from the AppStore, why?

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

    Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
    /Library/Printers/Canon
    and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

  • OS Mavericks - Boot Camp Assistant can not download windows support software because it is "not currently available from the Software Update server."

    When trying in install windows 7 on my mac, the Boot Camp Assistant attempts to fownload windows support software.  However, the program continues to return the following error: the windows support software "not currently available from the Software Update server." 
    Is there another way to get this software? 

    64 bit.  I found the support drivers and got the windows installation done.  When trying to run the 64 bit support drivers in Windows 7, it says my computer doesn't support 64 bit.  Sooooo.....
    I'm assuming I have to download the 32 bit support drivers for Windows 7.
    Correct?

  • When trying to download Boot Camp Windows Support Software, error says: "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

    I use a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010 on Mavericks and I've tried using the Boot Camp assistant to download support software for Windows 7. This gives the error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
    Further, I tried to separately download Boot Camp 4 and 5. When I do this and try to install from Windows 7, it says that this version of Boot Camp is not for this computer and doesn't install. The result is that I have Windows 7 working and installed, but am unable to use the trackpad to rightclick, brightness settings, etc.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    You need to run Bootcamp Assistant and select only the menu item to download the Windows Support Software. Follow the instructions. The download servers are extremely slow therefore it may take several hours to get the download.

  • I tried to install the Watch ABC (a free app) on my iPad from the AppStore. It would not download. I attempted to install it a second time, and got the message "You've already purchased this, so it will downloaded now at no additional charge." Any advice?

    I tried to install the Watch ABC (a free app) on my iPad from the AppStore. It would not download. I attempted to install it a second time, and got the message "You've already purchased this, so it will downloaded now at no additional charge." Any advice? This is a fee app so I do not understand the message referencing a purchased app. I get the cloud symbol, but it will not download. I closed the App Store app and restarted my iPad, but to no avail. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    You are aware that there the app may have downloaded and been placed on the second screen.  Not the main one.  Can you swipe to the right to see if it is there?

  • Can't Update Apps from the Appstore

    I have all the latest OS updates for my macbook pro and it seems like I can't update my apps that I have downloaded from the appstore.  I have logged into the appstore and iTunes and also have made sure the information in the account are correct and up to date.  When I open the appstore I click on updates and it says, "All Apps Are Up to Date" but when I click on "Purchased," it clearly shows that there are updates available.  When I click on update it says that I need to be signed in in-order to update the apps.  I AM signed into the appstore and iTunes.  What is going on here?  I tried emailing support for Apple and they couldn't even help me.  I know there are people having the same issues.  Can someone point me to the right direction or have any advices to fix this issue?  Its very annoying unistalling an app and to reinstall just to update it.  Thank you in advance.

    I had just posted a thread regarding a similar issue, except it's attempting to "load" all of my apps again. This includes loading old apps that were previously deleted off my iphone. It's annoying. I can't even access these apps to delete them. This renders my phone useless...

  • Software for HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP is not currently available from the Software Update server.

    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, and found that I could no longer print to  my HP CM1312nfi.
    This is usually a problem with HP at every upgrade, but this time, they appear to have offloaded the driver download process to Apple.
    My printer is connected wirelessly through a time capsule by IP address—the physical, not the virtual, e.g: 169.254.xx.xx instead of 10.0.1.x.
    When I try to download the driver by bonjour or IP, I get the following error message:
    Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    Is this truly a Software Update server error, and if so, any clue when it will be resolved?
    I am able to print with the generic driver as of now, but fax and scan capabilites are gone. The add fax dialog  lists no devices.
    Scanning is not supported on my printer model with the Hewlett Packard Print 2.12 driver. Will support be forthcoming, or did Mountain Lion brick my scanner?
    Thanks for your time and attention.

    Of course, once I posted this, I tried again and downloaded the driver without issue.
    My second question still stands, however:
    Scanning is not supported on my printer model with the Hewlett Packard Print 2.12 driver. Will support be forthcoming, or did Mountain Lion brick my scanner?

  • Can't install printer driver: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn drivers "not currently available from the Software Update server"

    I was having trouble printing to my HP Color LaserJet 2605dn from a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, so I went to System Prefernces -> Print & Scan deleted it and atempted to re-add it.  When I try add the printer I get this message:
    Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
    After clicking Download & Install (the only option other than Cancel), I get this:
    Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet 2605dn because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    What's the workaround when Mountain Lion can't find the driver?
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    The 2605dn has dual Network and USB connectivity. Which are you attempting to configure: Network or attached USB?
    Printer on, and if networked, use a static IP address
    Print & Scan
    IP
    Provide printer static IP address
    Select Printer Software ... HP Color LaserJet 2605dn driver (not sure about that 2600 driver)
    Add
    Configure Driver under Options and Supplies
    I have a 1994 HP Laserjet 4m Plus set up using these steps and the appropriate driver. I just added another network printer, using the same IP address, but using the above 2605dn driver without any issue other than complaint about a redundant IP address.
    Hopefully, you have already sorted this out.

    You keep it on the usb stick for after you boot into Windows. From Windows you install the Windows Support software on the stick. Do you realize that you need to buy and install Windows? The Windows Support software you downloaded is only the Windows drivers for your hardware.
