Mavericks download error

Hi
I treid to download Mavericks and after 5 hours got an error message, possibly my weak internet signal, but now the App Store just records an 'an error has occurred' (very helpful!) and seemingly wont allow me to try again. What to do?

is the error 1004? (Try even if it is just the generic error too..)
If so read this....

and if that does not work.. read this...

Some of the files listed in the above link may have changed locations in Mav and ML.. so use something like FindAnyFile to locate them.... if you cnanot locate them manually.

  • Mavericks Download Error; can't resume or cancel

    Against my better judgement, I finally decided to try to install Mavericks. It downloaded about 3Gb before I had to pause it, and now, when I've tried to resume it it just shows that there's been an error:
    If I click the Free Upgrade button, I get the following message:
    OS X Mavericks failed to download
    Use Purchases Page to try again
    I do this - I go to the Purchases Page and hit 'Download' ... and it shows the same bloody message saying to try the Purchases Page. Thanks, that's really useful.
    So, I can't continue, can't cancel, and can't see any details of what the error actually is. I'm beginning to think Windows has it's plus points.
    I have seen advice suggesting using Google's DNS servers, and I have had similar 'getting stuck' issues with XCode that were resolved by changing the network I was using - I have tried using Google's DNS, but that didn't change what I'm seeing.
    Can someone tell me how to resume this, or at least bloody cancel it?

  • Mavericks download error message

    I've made several attempts now to download Mavericks to my late 2009 27inch Imac with Snow Leopard. I keep getting a message :
    Cleanup at startup file does not exist  
    I have no clue what this means. So I don't know where to begin to get my download working.
    I am connected via wi-fi so would this be causing the error message i am getting?
    Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

    This is a user to user forum, you aren't speaking to Apple here.

  • Download Error on Mavericks (mac)

    When I go to the Creative Cloud application on the desktop, I go to the Apps tab and I get "Download Error" and when I try to reload the application, the error persists. 
    I'm on a macbook running Mavericks, I've deleted the AAMUpdater (though it creates a new one every time I reload the applications) folder in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe...  As per Re: Creative Cloud "Download Error" message , I looked in the OOBE folder and there was no opm.db, just a singe folder alias called "PDApp," which contained a pim.db, along with a bunch of other folders and files.  
    When I enabled the root user and logged into that account after restarting, I tried the Apps tab again and it was working just fine, in the root user.  But when I logged out and back into my regular account, I was still getting the download error.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Creative Cloud and that didn't work. I have Photoshop and Fireworks installed, so it WAS working at some point in time... I'm out of ideas...  Help please?

    Try below steps once
    click Gear icon on the top Right corner and Quit Creative Cloud App
    Click on Finder and then hold Command + Shift + G keys on your keypad
    It will open Go to folder window, type  exactly ~/Library and click on Go
    Make sure to open ~/Library not /Library (  there will be two Library folders )
    Then open Application Support > Adobe folders
    Trash AAMUpdater and OOBE folders.
    Then launch Creative Could and check.

  • All I get is message "Download Error" Contact customer support. That contact is apparently impossible!!!!!  Could be Mavericks 10.9.3. everything worked until recently.

    If I try to download anything now,  I get message "Download Error - Contact customer support."  I have Mavericks 10.9.3 on my Mac.  Up till recently I had downloaded Photoshop and Illustrator and Lightroom 5.  Now I am getting nothing for my money.  Rostov

  • I've attempted to download Mac 10 Maverick and I keep getting a download error, any ideas?

  • Download error for mavericks

    My download for mavericks stops at 995.5 mb. Please provide some solution.

    Hi anujsehgal,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your OS X Mavericks download did not complete, first see if you can resume the download using the steps below:
    If downloading an app is interrupted
    Once an Internet connection is reestablished, your purchased downloads should automatically restart. The Mac App Store may alert you that there was an issue with the download and ask if you'd like to restart the download(s). Confirming will restart all pending downloads. For more information on this topic, see Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads.
    See Troubleshooting the Mac App Store for more information. 
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Mavericks download and Install on 10.6.8

    Hello All,
    I am facing weird behavior for Mavericks download on my 2007 iMac. I have checked and it is matching the requirements given by the Mothership.
    However, I have now downloaded it twice and the process fails to create the appropriate file in Applications directory.  I am left with the .pkg file and Retry dowload message.
    The appstore purchases window has entry for OS X but without the Download button. This entry is removed once i click on Retry OR Cancel. The temp directory also vanishes.
    I checked the MD5 hash on both the .pkg files that were downloaded and they are the same -- so in my view the download was good (all of 5.29 gb).
    If I try to run the .pkg file, i get error while selecting the partition - it recognizes only the bootable partition for install.
    Changing the .pkg ext to .app gives error for Classic application support.
    So, I need answers / comments for
    a. Why is the download in .pkg format for me ?
    b. Why does it not recognize the empty partition for install (the method was suggested for Lion or ML earlier).
    c. How do i test drive Mavericks before I take the decision to upgrade.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Well, Just to update.  While I did not find answers to above questions, I did manage to install Mavericks using the downloaded package. It took  bit of command line skills to do it.
    Essentially, I had to extract the dmg files from pkg file using 'pkgutil' command. Once I had the dmg, I created a USB bootable for mavericks and using that installed it on a separate partition for test drive. As of now, it seems to be working well. I have been able to run OpenOffice (3.x and 4). However, my HP printer des not work and HP has not posted a driver yet for my series.
    All in all, I think I will wait for the major update on 10.9 before upgrading 10.6.8.

  • Update and Patch download errors (CC 2014)

    Hi all, this was initially meant to be a customer support chat, but it seems to be unavailable currently, so I'll ask on here instead.
    The issue is happening on Creative Cloud (1.7.1.418)
    I am running Mac OSX Mavericks (version 10.9.4), early 2011 model, 2GHz Intel Core i7 Processor, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Memory
    The Creative Cloud app is showing 6 updates. The updates are as follows...
    Premier Pro CC (2014) : Adobe Premier Pro CC 2014.0.1 Update
    Photoshop CC (2014) : Photoshop Camera Raw 8.5 (CC)
    InDesign CC (2014) : DPS Desktop Tools CC2014 31.0.1 Update
    Flash Professional CC and Mobile Device Packaging (2014) : Flash Professional CC Update - July 2014, as well as Photoshop Camera Raw 8.5(CC)
    Media Encoder CC (2014) : Adobe Media Encoder CC (2014.0.1)
    After Effects CC (2014) : Photoshop Camera Raw 8.5(CC)
    When I click the update button on any of these updates, I almost instantly receive an 'Update Failed' message.
    Upon clicking the 'Learn More' option, it reads 'Update Failed - Download Error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49).
    When Retrying, the same happens every time.
    It also affects newly installed apps. This morning when installing Bridge CC, the app itself downloaded fine, but an error message saying 'Instillation Succeeded, but a patch failed - Download Error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49).' appeared.
    It has been doing this for a fair few months now, having hoped upgrading from the CC apps to the new CC 2014 apps would fix it.. These updates themselves are also quite sporadic in their appearance. When I shut down my Mac and restart it, the updates often disappear, with an 'all apps are up to date' message in their place. They only then reappear when downloading a new app, or a more up-to-date update becomes available.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps multiple times, but nothing changes. In the past, I have tried manually downloading and installing the updates and patches through the website, though that too gave me an error message. I have switched off my firewall on occasion, as well as allowed all Adobe apps to be allowed through, though this does not seem to have any effect. I have tried it in multiple locations, being connected to multiple routers, so I do not believe it is a router issue. I am a student, so not connected to any companies that may be blocking access. I have also had a brief look at install logs in the past, though I am not particularly tech savvy when It comes to that sort of thing. I have also seen people recommend trying to update in root user mode, though I am not particularly comfortable with that, as I have been told It's not a good idea to mess about as a root user when you don't really know what you're doing
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Cheers
    James

  • Download Error in CC Apps Tab

    Why is it that when I go to the Apps tab in the CC app, I see a message saying "Download Error"? My internet is fine, and other portions of the CC app that use the internet work fine. Any ideas?

    Thank you for the pointers. Here's a more detailed description of the problem:
    Error: "Download Error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support."
    Screenshot: CC Error
    OS: OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
    Web Browser: NA, this is in the Creative Cloud application (the latest version, although the problem occurred in the previous version as well).
    Firewall: none.
    Antivirus: none.
    Has this worked before: Yes, many times.
    Changes: I was on a trip and using another computer. This only started happening when I rebooted my home computer (a Mid-2011 21.5'' iMac, 500GB internal SATA disk) and synced all of my files from the CC storage online.
    Admin account: Yes, I am using an administrator account.
    What was I doing: Nothing else, at the time. This was the first thing I tried (don't ask why).
    Other software: Yoink, Memory Clean, Dropbox, Skitch, Found, Google Drive, G-Key Profiler, Skydrive, Evernote, Google Chrome (running at the time of this problem).
    About my Computer: 4GB Memory, 500GB Internal SATA Hard Drive, with 300GB free. 2.5GHz Intel Core i5.

  • Creative cloud desktop app show APPD download error

    Creative Cloud desktop app show APPS 'download error' - gives the option to reload applications or contact customer service
    Reload doesn't work
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app - same error
    Trouble began after I attempted to download a Bridge update which wouldn't complete

    Spent 2.5 hours on support chat and screen sharing with adobe support today, and after many uninstalls, CC clean ups etc, they could not get it working.
    Like you, it has always worked until today.
    The only thing we could get to work was to login to os x as root user and run Creative cloud from there.
    It's a PITA, but I am used to it because my desktop CC installer has been broken since last year, so I now have two computers with broken CC installers.
    OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user
    good luck
