Maverick not downloading

Attempted to download Maverick. Not showing in launchpad or application folders. Deleted purchase on app store and tried to download again. Will not go past the install app button. System currently running OS X Lion 10.7.5. Not sure what to do. Have tried multiple restarts.

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

Mavericks not downloading or showing up in "Purchases" window.

I don't know what else to try. I can initiate the download, and it shows up in Launch Pad, but the download never progresses.
It also doesn't show up in the "Purchases" window.
In Launch Pad, it looks like this:
Even after hours of waiting, it hasn't progressed.

Hello there, I've had the same issue all day, but I *think* I've fixed it, I'll be more sure in a few hours when the downloads actually had time to progress...
Pause the download by clicking on the app
Click and hold the app icon until you get the 'wobblng' effect and the little crosses come up
Click the cross and say yes to deleting the app
Re launch the app store and start over.
You can check that the app is downloading by using activity monitor (->Utilities. Select the "Network" tab in the app) to see if there's a continued spike in your "data recived". This is best seen whilst not downloading anything else so you have a 'rest' level, then begining the download. The jump in numbers and graphs will make it pretty clear.
NOTE: The app hasn't re-appeared in my purchased list on the app store. I deleted another app off that list and re-downloaded it for a comparison and that didn't come back either, but still downloaded successfully, so that's just probably just another one of the app stores delightful quirks and not nessiserily tied to the issue. But don't take my word for it =P
That's what I've done and so far so good

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.

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.

Mavericks Not Downloading!!

I have with me, a 13" MacBook Pro with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5. When I went to the Mac App Store to download Mavericks, firstly it shows a "download" button rather than the regular "install" button, and then shows this error: "You have updates available for other accounts. Sign in to b*****@****.com to update applications for that account." Now, this e-mail id is not mine and I've never encountered this id ever in my life. Please help!

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

Why are some of the new voices on OS X Mavericks not downloading?

Whenever I check off Federica, Paola, Luca, and/or Otoya, it will begin to download the voice, but it then stops at around 10% and this message pops up. Please help me! I want to download the male Japanese voice, so I stop talking like a girl when I speak Japanese!

OR you could just ask for specifics instead of calling it a 'pointless post'.
Specifics:
iMac v. 10.8, 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Photoshop quits about 10 minutes into working on it no matter what I am doing. There are no specific causes to it quiting (particular font, selection, etc.). It just quits no matter what around 10 minutes into designing and gives says 'Photoshop has unexpectedly quit'. Adobe Acrobat quits while launching.
I have not had time to check all of the other programs in the master collection because PS is my main design tool and I am crippled without it. I assume since two of the main systems are shutting down that there are a few others that will shut down too. Illustrator, Indesign, Audition, Bridge, DW, and After Effects work fine so far.

Mavericks not downloading and not showing in purchases.

I can see the mavericks download icon in the launchpad but download bar never progresses and it just stays on 'Downloading'. Also, I cant see Mavericks in the purchase tab of the app store. I restarted my Macbook pro but no change. Anything else I can do?

After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time. It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete." What can I do?

After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time. I receive the following error message:
You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete. So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it. Now I reinstall it and the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7. SMH....Now what.?

Cannot download OSX Maverick? My current system is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and even when logged into the app store I'm getting the message that I can not download at this time. Try Later?

Are you connected via wifi? If so, and it is an option, try connecting using a ethernet cable. It sometimes seems to help as it can give a more reliable connection for the 5.3gb download.
If you do manage to download it you may want to make a copy of the installer file - which gets downloaded to the Applications folder - before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. It may save you another monster download in the future.

Exactly which model/year is yours and does it meet the system requirements for Mavericks?
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
A minimum of 4 GB RAM is recommended as well as enough hard drive space.

Whenever i try to download OS X Mavericks, it will download to 995.6MB then will freeze and not download any further.

Whenever i try to download OS X Mavericks, it will download to 995.6MB then will freeze and not download any further. I have tried restarting the download a couple of times and still nothing happens. Restarted computer and still nothing. I don't know what is happening or if it is a problem my side or on the apple side of things. I am running quite a powerful computer so i dont think it is the computer that is having problems either.
Help would be highly greatful. Thanks!

Hi casturrr,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of what you are describing. If your whole system is hanging or freezing completely, and it is occuring during the download and not during the install portion, you may find the troublehsooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
