Maverick not downloading from App Store, button turn back grey

Hello,
I'm try to install Maverick on my mac but can't seem to download it from the app store. I already search a lot on that subject and tried many thing, I just can get it to work.
The first time I downloaded it, a download icon appeared in my dock. It was not moving, me not realising it is a 5 gb dl I canceld it. Afterward, I tried to download it from the last purchace user interface of the apple store. When I clikc the grey button, it turn dark grey and the goes back to light gray, displaying no download and not putting any maverick download icon in the dock.
I emptied the cache of the app store through the debug menu, nothing changed after I restarted my computer. Here are my mac specs:
Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Model Name:          iMac
  Model Identifier:          iMac8,1
  Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:          2,4 GHz
  Number Of Processors:          1
  Total Number Of Cores:          2
  L2 Cache:          6 MB
  Memory:          3 GB
  Bus Speed:          1,07 GHz
I have no firewall, no mack keeper, little snitch is disabeled and no antivirus.
Can anybody give a hand on this? Could my hardware be to old to use maverick?

Also wanted to mention that I did not find any file being downloaded on my computer. Maybe it's hidden in a temporary folder, but I doubt it even if some user did solve their issue but finding it on their computer.
Still not working

  • OS X Mavericks not downloading from app store

    When I try to download the free upgrade through the app store, nothing happens. OS X Mavericks shows in my purchases list and has the option to download but again, not happens. I have a Mid-2010 MacBook using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
    Any ideas?

    Try here >  Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
    If that doesn't help ...
    Mavericks requires 8GB's or more of storage space.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    If it's not a storage space issue ...
    Disable anti virus software if installed
    Make sure the firewall is turned off in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
    Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

  • Mavericks will not download from app store

    Trying to download the app through the app store to install Mavericks on my Mac Book. Will no download for some reason. I definitely have a very strong connection to the Internet. Any ideas?

    What is the error message you are getting?
    Is it asking for some other Apple ID?

  • Amazon Instant Prime App will not download from App Store

    When I try and download this App from the App Store I get an error message saying that "the App you tried to buy is no longer available".
    Any ideas?

    Found out why. The localisation setting in Restrictions (even though Restrictions is turned off) was set to United States, and I'm in the UK.
    Good grief...

  • My iphon4 dose not download from app store it says "your request cannot be processed"

    It is a few months my iphone4 never downloads

    There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
    I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
    Anyways, thanks for your suggestion. 

  • Mountain Lion will not download from app store

    I have a new macbook pro running Lion, and I tried to download Mountain Lion from the app store yesterday.  it downloaded partly and but then the download seemed to stop. So I disinstalled the partially downloaded software and tried again. But when I try, the icon says "waiting" and the actual download never begins.  I've tried several times with the same result. What should I do?

  • Software updates not downloading from App store

    Hi,
    I have 9 updates available in the app store. When I select update all or even update one of them, all I get is the whirling ball. I turned off my antiviral software but it still isn't working. Any ideas?

    I found the problem. I think the AVG antiviral was blocking the download. They updated it a couple of days ago. I turned it off. But it didn't solve the problem. I restarted my computer. When I opened AVG I noticed it was updating again. Im guessing that they found out that they were blocking updates. Now the updates are downloading and installing.  I still have AVG turned of while I'm updating all my software for Yosemite..

  • I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine

    I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine - files too big
    Please assist

    You need to download it on one of the iMacs via App store but not install since after it installs the installation download gets deleted.
    After it is downloaded you can copy to a USB device. You can also make a bootable USB install device by:
    downloading and using DiskMaker X

  • I bought student mac air through university account, Iworks were included when I purchased mac air. But there are no iworks and It's not free when I tried to download from App Store

    I bought student mac air through university account, Iworks were included when I purchased mac air. But there are no iworks and It's not free when I tried to download from App Store. OS was OS X Mountain Lion 10.9 When I received it. Is it because of OS? I upgraded to OS X Mavericks right after I got it.

    Today, I went to the mac store and asked the staff about above issue. Apple obviously sent me a mac air which was manufactured before October 2013 and therefore, iworks and OX Mavericks weren't installed. I have refund for around £45 to purchase iworks. However, I wasn't happy with what Apple actually did. I asked for replacement and refund the one I got and getting the new one from store so I can use mac straight away. however, the refund takes 5-7 working days. The staff on the phone told me if I have enough money I can just buy the new one in the store and get refund later. So I gave up! I was so disappointed with Apple. Even though I use the mac now, this was not the one Apple promised when I purchased online. if anyone would like to buy a mac, Please go to the actual store. DO NOT buy a mac through MAC ONLINE STORE!!! I strongly recommend! I feel like I wasted my time because the company doesn't keep its promise.

    Mountain Lion downloaded from App store on 11th and 12th June will not install. Downloaded TWICE it times out after 20 secs into install. Can't get any help!!! Going around in circles!!

    Purchased 2010

    Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
    Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download
