How do I get OSX Mavericks on my MacBook which has snow leopard 10.6? I also have a grey question mark in my dock that says app store but nothing happens when I click on it.....
Please find out!!!

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.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
The App Store should work if your 10.6 is updated to 10.6.6 or later.
Try running the combo update.
10.6.8 Combo Updater

Safari version 7.0.6 (9537.78.2) won't play html5 videos. (Mavericks on Macbook Pro)

Since upgrading to Safari version 7.0.6 (9537.78.2), html5 videos will no longer play. (Mavericks on Macbook Pro) I get the error message "Please upgrade your browser to view HTML5 content". The only extension I have is ClickToFlash. When I disable it, I get the error message immediately without having to click on the "Flash" button to give it permission to run.

same thing for me... yesterday i started noticing flakey graphics on video playing, then went shopping on Amazon which kept telling me to upgrade my browser, and when I check the link to safari update, I am greeted with I have the latest version of safari. I checked my Last Yosemite update... it is current.   I rebooted my computer went to bed, and today, nothing on Yahoo, Abc News, youtube will play when it comes to video.   A conspiracy in the making to take down or disrupt all apple users I am sure must be going on.    I say this because I checked another iMac which has been working flawlessly.   And update to flash came in, I did not perform that update.   Videos worked fine.   That update was done and bam... no video playing on that computer either.
I think Apple should release something immediately and stop anymore flash on mac updates to be installed.   Adobe needs to be notified that what ever they have released is killing all apple users who use safari.
ANYONE READING THIS BE AWARE THAT THE LATEST FLASH UPDATE PROMPT WILL KILL YOUR MAC SAFARI AND VIDEO PLAYING ON SAFARI WILL END.   AMAZON and OTHER SITES WILL TELL YOU YOUR BROWSER IS OUT OF DATE, IGNORE THAT BECAUSE I THINK WHO OR WHAT EVER COMPANY IS BEHIND THIS HAS BEEN WORKING INSIDE WITH THOSE COMPANIES ALTERING CODE SO THAT PEOPLE ARE DRIVEN TO START UPDATING SOFTWARE IN HOPES OF SNAGGING THE UPDATE FROM ADOBE THAT CAUSES THINGS TO CEASE WORKING.
TODAY Both IMACS Running YoSemite will not play video and are both crashing with Graphic Hardware errors... 2 iMacs that are 2 years apart on Manufacture date, and both were working flawlessly this past weekend.

Just upgraded to OSX mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

Just upgraded to OSX 10.9 mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

TS3276 I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As". So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail. I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Here's what I know:
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update. None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them. This is maddening! What can be done? Apple?? Anyone???

Installed Mavericks on MacBook Pro. Now my Contacts has no records. Contacts on my iPad are OK. How can I repopulate my MacBook Contents from my iPad?.

This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.
Post by Zevoneer: iPod media recovery options - https://discussions.apple.com/message/11624224 - this is an older post and many of the links are also for old posts, so bear this in mind when reading them.
Commercial software utility for transferring songs from i-device to Mac - http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - just media purchased from iTunes Store
You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that. iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

Are you using the App Store to obtain Mavericks? Is your ISP reliable? Can you visit a friend with reliable Internet with adequate broadband (25mb/sec)?

Is your MacBook compatible with Mavericks? Open  > About this Mac > More Info, and you will see the MacBook model you have got. Then, check in this site if it's supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
If your Mac is not compatible, OS X 10.7.5 is the most recent version for your Mac. Also, copy the whole message you see when you open the Mavericks installer

HELP! I can't install OSX Mavericks on MacBook Air

Help! I just download and install OSX Mavericks on MacBook Air (2012), its already downloaded and installed but when booted, the wheels machine on the screen keep running. its even more an hour and i restarded it for severel times. but still not working. should I wait until the installation finished? for how long? 1, 2, or 3 hours?

Then the hard drive is corrupted. You will need to erase it then reinstall:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

After installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro and my MacMini can't shut down, only a grey screen and finish. Must be killed by the power button. Why?

After installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro and my MacMini can't shut down, only a grey screen and finish. Must be killed by the power button. Why?
Nach der Installation von Mavericks kann ich weder das MacBook Pro (2 x 2.4 GHz) noch den MacMini (2 x 2.66 GHz) herunterfahren. Es bleibt ein dauerhafter grauer Bildschirm. Nach 20 min habe ich einen erzwungenen Neustart durchgeführt.
Ausserdem startet die Macs wesentlich langsamer als mit OS X 10.6.8.

same here... sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't!!

How do I find in the "Mac App Store" the authorize --my computer to do an upgrade on the newest imovie in Maverick? MacBook Pro 15' 10.9.2

How do I find in the "Mac App Store" the authorize --my computer to do an upgrade on the newest imovie in Maverick? MacBook Pro 15' 10.9.2. Thank you!

He shouldn't have done that. Now you have a pirated version of iMovie on your Mac that you will never be able to update. The MAS Terms of Use do not allow that type of sharing. His Apple ID is encoded in the copy on your Mac and you can't change that.
Legally you should delete the app.
Your Mac should have come with the iLife apps pre-installed, why did he do that?

After the update of the operating system to OS X Mavericks my macbook retina became very slowly to work

After the update of the operating system to OS X Mavericks my macbook retina became very slowly to work, a response at the programs is very long (5 - 10 seconds). I work yet with the connected external monitor of NEC. Problems are very noticeable in transition of cursor from one monitor on other - very often a cursor stops beating on 5-10 seconds. The complete new setting of the system did not help.

Drag the newer iTunes icon from the Applications folder to the Dock and remove (control key / Options) the older version.

HT201364 why i don't install mac os x maverick for macbook pro retina later 2013?

why i don't install mac os x maverick for macbook pro retina later 2013?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Late 2013 MacBook Pro already comes with OS X Mavericks. However, if you try to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, you will get a message telling you that your MacBook Pro is not compatible, when it is.
This is caused because the Late 2013 MacBook Pro is running a special OS X Mavericks version which is different than the version available in the Mac App Store. This makes that you get an error message when you try to download OS X Mavericks even when you are using it.
Instead of downloading OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, you can still download OS X Mavericks to reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 You will be able to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store when your MacBook Pro uses the same version as all other Macs
