Mavericks does not download, it just stays in "waiting"

I'm not downloading anything currenlty (apart from the OS X) but the app just stays on "Waiting". When I restart the mac, the icon dissappears until i press the download button again in the App Store. But it won't change from waiting.

  • OS X Mavericks does not download, infact shows downloaded but it doesn't appear anywhere in Launchpad and neither can I download it again

    I am having trouble downloading the OS X Mavericks. In my initial attempt to download the update from the App Store, it started downloading but stalled. It wasn't paused, but just stalled. I restarted the Mac and tried to install it again. The next time the download commenced but stalled after reaching a certain point (it appears to have tried to restart from where it left off earlier), but the download doesn't continue. Says "Mac OS X Mavericks failed to download". Now on deleting the icon from Launchpad, when I try to install it again from the App Store, it shows downloaded. How do I restart the download process and install Mac OS X Mavericks? I am currently on OS X Lion 10.8.5.

    Yes, I do have an external drive, which I now disconnected and restarted the Mac to try installing. Didn't work.
    I then kept it disconnected and restarted in Safe Mode, which again when trying to download showed "Downloaded". So didn't work.
    Then tried one final time by plugging the external drive back in, and starting in normal mode and it appeared to have started downloading once again.
    Unfortunately, it didn't give up so easily and the download is now stuck at 996MB.I think it's really testing my patience now.  I tried looking up the communities for a similar issue and see that others have had their download stop at 996MB, but it seems to be an ISP/Router related issue, and I don't have alternatives for either.
    Have written to the local Apple retailer for support, fingers crossed.

  • Okay, just tell me now that Mavericks does not support iMovie 6 HD which I have migrated across my devices since it first came out as iMovie 4. If this is true, then I will just jump off the nearest bridge, as I use it as a business.

    Okay, just tell me now that Mavericks does not support iMovie 6 HD which I have migrated across my devices since it first came out as iMovie 4 and have supplemented with third party add ons from 3Gee. If this is true, then I will just jump off the nearest bridge, as I use it for my videography business. Since upgrading to Mav, I can not get the program to launch and am getting no pop up to tell me what is going on. It let me open and start a project at first, but then I was half way through and it crashed and I lost everything and now will not launch at all. Does anyone out there still use this magnificent program? Please help—the wedding I just commissioned is on hold and I am not want looking forward to facing a bridezilla.

    right now just to get yer work done, get ahold of any OS that will run iM6HD and get it done. then dump MAVRICKS (wait till 10.9.2 at least) and retro back to OSX 10.6..or 10.7 (if you have it). I use FCExpress4 on 10.6....you might want to consider keeping a dedicated mini or something that ONLY runs your editing sw. I have 2 older machines that I will never upgrade because the editing SW wont run on the newwer OSs.
    abuve all, be honest with your client. we all got kind of blindsided by this initial relese (like a bug infested matress).
    ask if they have any apple stuff that has Mavricks probs. bridzillas only happen when they are out of the loop. Keep them informed. but ...also be ready to duck.
    hope this helps.

  • Trying to download OSX Lion from AppStore on my iMac but it just hangs everytime and does not download

    Trying to download OSX Lion from AppStore on my iMac but it just hangs everytime and does not download

    I downloaded Lion on my 17" Macbook Pro and it took about 17 hours. At first I thought it wan't downloading so I cancelled. The next day I tried again and let it ride for the duration; If the status bar is showing that it is downloading (the bar at the bottom will show some blue after about an hour), then be patient. It will download. The installation takes roughly 30 minutes.

  • I have just purchased OS X Lion but it does not download although it appears in my purchases. Any tips to get the download active? GJ

    I have just purchased OS X lion via App store. this shows as a purchase but it does not download after hitting download button in recent purchases in App store

    Hello Gregory,
    If you have properly upgraded Snow Leopard to 10.6.8, say with the combo updater v1.1, Lion should run comfortably with 4GB of RAM on your model.   
    You may be able to inject a further 2GB of Ram and to check that, go to Crucial.com and feed in your Machine specs.    The site has a tool which will confirm the maximum amount of RAM you can fit.
    It's not too difficult to fit by yourself and Crucial give instructions how to do it.

  • IOS 8.1 Does Not Download All iCloud Mail/ Keeps Cache?

    Hello,
    I have setup and enabled an iCloud e-mail account on all of my devices and was successfully able to use the Mail app in Mac OS X Yosemite to copy mail from my Yahoo! inbox to my iCloud inbox.  All e-mail copied from Yahoo! Mail appears in the OS X Yosemite Mail app as well as in the iCloud.com site, however, my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 5 both running iOS 8.1 does not download all of the mail from iCloud.  I have tried the following on both iOS 8.1 devices with no success.
    - Disable iCloud mail and re-enable
    - Sign completely out of iCloud and sign in again, then reconfigure all iCloud services including mail
    The result of both steps is that the incomplete list of e-mail in the iCloud inbox just reappears in the Mail app instead of downloading from iCloud again.  It looks like the incomplete list of e-mail is stored on the iOS device and signing out of or disabling iCloud mail just hides it; re-enabling or signing in merely shows it again.  This appears to work differently than my Yahoo! Mail configuration where if I sign out of or delete the Yahoo! account and reconfigure, iOS downloads a fresh copy of all e-mail in the inbox and all other folders.  Here are my two questions:
    - How do I get my iPhone and iPad Air 2 to download ALL e-mail from my iCloud mail account?
    - Are my suspicions true? Does iOS actually store a cached copy of iCloud mail on the device when the service is disabled and just "redisplays" it when re-enabled?
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem. My iCloud it's a mess since the iOS 8.1 update.
    Probably your iCloud isn't working too.

  • My new mac mini with Maverick does not go to deep sleep even if i press power button or Apple-Sleep mode.

    Hi.
    I have my new mac mini with Maverick that does not go to deep sleep even if i press power button or menu Apple-Sleep mode. He goes only to something like stand-by  (power lid is on; after i turn off and then turn on the power he does not wake up just starting). I tried "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode X", tried mode 0,1,3, and even 25. nothing helps. he goes to deep sleep (when all data on HDD) only first time after i change hibernatemode couple times and force it to sleep. Today i even tried to force it to sleep (menu Apple-Sleep mode) and NOT turn off the power for whole night, in the morning he is in this "stand-by" mode anyway.
    Could anyone help me please? i need it sleep but don't want to keep my power on for whole night.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • TS1559 My iPhone 3GS will not now join wifi.  This is a very recent problem and I have tried everything so hope someone can help.  I go Settings then Wifii, it picks up network no problem but then does not download IP Address.

    My IPhone 3GS will not now join wifi, this is a very recent problem.  It finds my network but does not download the IP Address hence when I load password Join remains grey.  I have tried all the fixes suggested I.e.  network reset, airplane on then off but still nothing.  I also have another iPhone of the same type and an iPad and they are just fine so I know it is not a router problem.  Please please what do I do?
