Mavericks download was interrupted and will not resume

I'm upgrading from 10.6.8 that is current and updated to Mavericks.  I began the download, all was well until about 3/4 the way through and my internet connection was interrupted.  I received a warning window saying that the download was interrupted and I lost my internet connection.  I reconnected to the internet and I cannot seem to get the download going again.  The app icon that was downloading on my icon bar is no longer there, the App store does not give me the option to resume the download, I've followed multiple walkthroughs detailing how to restart an interrupted download to no avail.  The App store 'purchases' tab has OS X Mavericks on it with the option to download and nothing else.  I've clicked the download button to either restart or resume and I get the gray wheel of fortune and when that stops spinning, nothing happens.  The gray download button turns white while the grey wheel of fortune is spinning but shortly afterwards it returns to a dark gray.  I've navigated back to the OS X Mavericks page and the download option says 'downloading' but as far as I can tell, nothing is happening.  I have no icon on the launch bar showing that it is downloading and my network monitor does not show that I'm downloading anything.  Also, going to the 'my account' tab in the App store and looking for 'hidden downloads' is unsuccessful.  When I open the 'my account' tab, I don't even have the option to view any downloads, only account information and my account nickname.   
For reference, I'm deployed over seas with a poor internet connection.  This is now day 3 of trying to download OS X Mavericks, so any help would be appreciated. 

I had the same problem, then I noticed it was downloading even while it was showing paused. After clicking resume, look at your Launchpad icon and see if you have a progress bar below the icon.

    OS X Mavericks download has paused and will not restart. How can I get it to restart?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, see if the download is paused and if you can resume it. To do so, open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and press "Resume" next to OS X Mavericks.
    If the download does not carry on, I would recommend you to restart and start the download all over again.

  • In the middle of undating to iTunes10.6.3 a window comes up saying an older version on bonjour cannot be removed.  Then further into the download a window comes up that says the download was interrupted and can not finish and try at a later time.

    I am attempting to upgrade to iTunes 10.6.3 and halfway through the download a window pops up that says "cannot remove an older version of Bonjour", then I click Ok on that and then further into the download and upgrade a window pops up that says cannot complete , itunes upgrade was interrupted, try at a later time.What do I do now?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • TS1424 Does anyone know about a problem 12001 downloading a movie?  The download was stopped and will not start again.

    This occurred whilst downloading.  The download stopped and now I can't start it again.  Even if I try to purchase it again I can't, as it says 'downloaded' instead of the price tag.  I'd love to know the answer as we are in the middle of the third season of 'Game of Thrones'! Thanks.

    This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

    If the download does not resume, then Quit the App Store app and delete the partial download in your Applications folder. Then you will have to start the download all over again from the "Purchases" section of the App store.

  • I keep getting a download error message. I hit retry but tells me I can not download right now. I have been able to download other items. I think the download was interrupted and now it will not continue downloading. Help!

    What do I do when a download is interrupted and then will not continue to download?

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

  • My book download has paused and will not download

    Trying to download a book to my iPad 1 and it has paused and will not restart.  I have since successfully downloaded another book ( sample) and also it's downloaded too my phone- I cannot delete the partial download - or sync from my iMac
    Any thoughts?
    many thanks

    Hello Louise,
    I would be eager to download a book I purchased as well.  I found a couple of resources that might help with downloading this purchase.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted.  You can use the steps in this article:
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If the book does not download after following the steps in that article, I recommend trying to download the book from the list of past purchases.  As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the book, you will not be charged again.  You can find the steps to do this in the following article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you are still not able to download the book, I recommend reporting this issue to the iTunes Store:

  • How to download the same song(track) with different keys? iTunes seems to think I have already downloaded the song and will not download the song in a different key of the Demo Track

    How to download the same song(track) with different keys? iTunes seems to think I have already dowloaded the song and will not let me download the song in a different key or the Demo.

    Hello Jigz19,
    It sounds like you are unable to play a couple of songs from your library becuase you get a message that the computer is unauthorized to play, but other content purchased that same day works without issue. I would verify that the affected songs were purchased with the same Apple ID first:
    Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
    Open iTunes
    Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab.
    The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
    If so, then delete the songs:

  • Adobe Media Downloader pauses and will not resume (June 18 deadline!)

    As an Adobe Photoshop Elements subscriber, I scanned and stored 924 pictures, most of them TIFFs of original family photos from the 19th century. Adobe has emailed me to download all the TIFFs before June 18 because of the platform change to Revel, which does not support TIFFs. As instructed, I have downloaded and installed AdobeAir and Adobe Media Downloader and I have made numerous attempts, on two different PCs (both Windows 7), to make the download. Each time, Media Downloader pauses, usually at about image 400, and says to check if the disc is available (plenty of room on my drives, and I have also attempted with a clean external hard drive) and then to resume. Clicking "resume" just brings up the same message endlessly. So I restart Media Downloader and it begins the process again at image 1, only to eventually pause again and ask me to resume. So hard drive space isn't the problem, and my ISP is Verizon FIOS with measured speeds above 75/35, so these pauses shouldn't be being caused by network speeds.
        Given the time constraint,  I tried to resolve this problem today through Adobe's "pay-for-help" telephone line, but was told that the only support for Adobe Media Downloader is through this forum!
         Suggestions on how to make a complete download of my TIFFs when Media Downloader keeps hiccuping?

    Hi, Pattie. I uninstalled Adobe Media Downloader, downloaded it again
    and reinstalled, began "Download" to a new external hard drive with 1.81
    TB of available space (total download is 3.71GB) ... and got to
    "Downloading 9 of 924 items" before getting the error message: "The
    Download has unexpectedly paused. Please check if your drive is
    accessible and click on "Resume" to continue your download." I click on
    "Resume" but it just brings up the same error message repeatedly. So
    please help me with an alternative method.
