Maverick will not download

I cannot get Maverick to download. It hangs up showing it's waiting and then a notice that the download failed. What is wrong?

Hi DGP1,
Try http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2013/10/23OS-X-Mavericks-Available-Today-Free-fr om-the-Mac-App-Store.html
It has a link to the right where you can download Mavericks.
Hopefully this works for you,
Good luck,
Dr. C.

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.

Make sure you are logged into your admin account to download Mavericks.
System Preferences > Users & Groups > Password
Make sure the Firewall is turned off in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
Disable anti virus software if installed.
Network monitoring apps such as Little Snitch or Growl can prevent App Store downloads
Mavericks is a 5.35GB file. Make sure there's a least 15% free storage space.
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage

Mavericks will not download on iMac

My early 2008 iMac uses OS X 10.7.5. Yesterday, I tried downloading Mavericks. The iMac froze up. When I go it running, I could not find the download. Now, when I try downloading anew, the iMac will not do anything. I have checked Launch Pad, and the download is not there. Any suggestions?

Try logging in as the admin user and then downloading and installing the software. The /Users folder contains all the home folders for all the users on the system - and whenever you login the default icon for this home folder is always a "home" icon.
Make sure to install the software so that "All users" can use it, not just the person installing it - software installers usually ask you this question.
good luck...

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?

Mavericks will not download from the App store. Repeatedly receive a message that "an error has occurred. Try again"

I have repeatedly tried to download Mavericks from the App store. When attempted from the update tab it fails and instructs me to try again from the Purchases tab. When I try it there, I receive an error message that "an error has occurred" and to try again. I have successfully downloaded other apps (both Apple and third party) but Mavericks won't do it.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Mavericks will not download. I always get the message "an error occured, go to purchases and try again". When I do that it still bombs. Any ideas?

I am running OS 10.8. on a macbook pro. I have not been able to download Mavericks, which the system tells me is an "upgrade". I get an error every time.

I just posted the same issue. I was reading some other posts and found that a restart actually allowed me to continue with the download. I hope this helps.

Mavericks will not download from Appstore

My MacBook Pro 15" early 2011 model running Lion 10.7.5, wont download Mavericks. Using wi-fi internet connection, any ideas why or possible solutions, would be appreciated.

susanann,
I have a slow DSL connection, and it took about five hours for me to download Mavericks. (It’s over 5 GB, so I’d let it download overnight, and wasn’t observing its progress.) If your internet connection is similar to mine, then perhaps it actually needs that long to download?
Have you also checked to see if your download is paused in Launchpad, despite not pausing it there yourself?

OS X Mavericks will not download

I got my harddrive changed. They installed the initial program I had on this laptop. I was then told to download my iWorks 09, Software Update and then to go into apple store and download whatever else was pending.
OS X Maverick was pending with the iWorks (Pages, Numbers and Keynote). I have downloaded Maverick numerous times through the Apple Store and through Purchases and pressed download. In the first screen it says it will save to Macintosh HD and then another saying .... minutes remaining. Then I get the next screen saying installing. Then the next screen saying the computer will restart automatically. And finally there is no Maverick on my computer. It remains in purchases with the option to download. Same occurs with iMovie.
Can you help me please?
Thanks!!

My new macbook pro will not download Mavericks, says it does not meet system requirements. Help!

Mavericks will not download on new macbook pro. says it does not meet system requirements. What?
Thank you! Sales associate said it needed to be downloaded. I am new to Macbook. Thanks again!

It already has Mavericks installed on it. There's nothing to download.

I tried to download from the app store. It will not download. It shows up under "other purchases" but the action button is blank. I have tried to re-download it and it won't let me do that either. Any suggestions?

Mavericks will not download from the app store. It shows up under "other purchases" but the action button is grey and will not allow me to install, uninstall or redownload. I meet the system requirements but nothing is working. Any help would be appreciated!

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.

HT202159 Mavericks will not complete download

Mavericks will not complete download

It may depend on your download speeds.
Check here > http://www.speedtest.net
Minimum download speed should be approximately 20 - 25mpbs.
Keep in mind, if you do install Mavericks, at some point you will need to repair the startup disk or restore OS X. Both require a high speed broandband connection as noted here.
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.

None of my "paid" books will open in iBooks. They show they are there, but when I open them all I get is a blank page. I have checked all the newbie mistakes. Mavericks will not let me uninstall and reinstall iBooks.

All the books I paid money for will not open in iBooks on my MAC. Mavericks will not let me uninstall iBooks, so I cannot uninstall and reinstall it on my Pro. I have deleted and re-loaded the books and they show in my library (as they always did), but when I open them, all I get is a blank page with three dots at the bottom, flashing in sequence. This does not affect the free books from the book store nor does it affect the PDF I have loaded myself. (I had this problem on my iPad when the latest big software came out about a year or two ago, but I was able to re-initalize the complete iPad from my Pro Book.) I have tried just about everything I can think of, but all to no avail. To save time, I have reset my iTunes password and performed all the other "Apple Tips" in the support section, but after 5 hours I am giving up. Surely someone else must be having the same issue??

Yup, same issue since installing Mavericks. iBooks works fine on my wife's Macbook Pro, but on my Mac Pro none of my purchased (protected) books will open - only the free/unprotected ones.
I'm asked for my AppleID password, but nothing happens when I try to open a purchased and downloaded book. I deauthorized, reauthorized, etc ... nothing. Each purchased book that I double-click gives me a dialog asking for my Apple ID password. Nothing else.
I was already buying more books via Kindle than iTunes and this just seals the deal for me. At least I can read my already-purchased iBooks books on my iPad still...

Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty.

Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty. It now has a blank bar under the launch pad and no matter how many times I try re-downloading it or restarting my computer it does not work. I use too play starcraft and other games on this computer although new patched/updates have made it that I can no longer do that now. Really frustrating having to deal with this especially after buying this computer upfront and now out of warranty.

Go to your Applications folder and find a file called "Install OS X Mavericks". Send it to the trash and delete it. Then try the download again.
