Mavericks OS X10.9

I'm trying to install Mavericks OS X10.9 from my mac mini to a seagate external hard drive. I'm on the last step but when I click the install button I get a message "this item is temporarily unavailable. Try again later". Can anyone help?
Thanks
Chuck

You could try & make a bootable copy or clone, using Disk Utility; or one of the well-known
clone utilities (shareware) that can do a fine job, SuperDuper from shirtpocketsoftware, or
Carbon Copy Cloner from Bombich software; both download & work in a demo mode free.
http://www.bombich.com/ - offers 30-day trial, & version for older OS X.
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html - heroic saves for OS X.
Also, for another backup method to build an OS X installer later, you could read up on using
DiskMaker X http://diskmakerx.com/ to make an OS X installer for your computer. This isn't
to be confused with a bootable copy, or other method. There are times this may be handy.
Hopefully you can resolve the issue you had at the time of the above inquiry though simply
logging into your App Store and see the previous purchases or updates, of OS X and apps.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Message not working on Maverick OS X10.9.1

    I am running OS X 10.9.1 (Maverick) and cannot get Messages to work. The version I have of Message is 8.0 (4218).
    Can anybody help fix this?

    Hi there. I have none of these error messages.
    Quote simply I can type a message but will not send it. And I cannot receive messages on the Mac but will come on iphone and ipad mini...
    Only really noticed it since Mavericks was installed.

  • IMovie 10.0.5 crashes into millions of colored pixels when I add v/o narrative using Pages to read script from and using a USB mic attached to my iMac. I am running Mavericks OS X10.9.4

    Hi, I have been editing a project for a week and over the past 2 days iMovie 10.0.5 has crashed into millions of colored pixels about 6 times. I am working on a 27" iMac running OS X 10.9.4 with 6GB of Ram, plenty of space on start up disc (217 GB's)  The crash seems to coincide with any effort to use an external USB mic plugged in to record a narrative. I can record the voice over but a few minutes later I get some awful audio scrubbing sounds and then it pixelates. Why is this happening and how can I work around this to record a voiceover please? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm nervous to continue if my work is going to ultimately be lost. My project is currently about seventeen mins and includes, video clips from 2 different cameras (both Canon) a music track from iTunes and some still images (jpegs.)

    Thanks Erik,
    If nothing else, this huge list of updates and fixes, shows clearly that the Logic Dev team is working hard on fixing and improving LPX to a major degree.... and from the list of fixes done.. show they do read the bug reports submitted!
    As an aside....
    I recall how all the 'naysayers' prior to LPX (and in some cases, since...)  were proclaiming how Logic was dead, the team was being disbanded, we won't see any further development, the Dev team doesn't listen or care... and so on....... I wonder where those people are now?

  • Maverick OS X10.9.4 won't save scan from HP All in One

    Have new iMac running OSX10.9.4 and am trying to scan from my old HP All in One Deskjet 3070A. I have managed to launch the scan function from System preferences, but it does not appear to be saving the scan anywhere. I have asked it to do the scan to the desktop and it is not there.
    When I try and scan using the Old scan icon from along the bottom of my screen it comes up with an error message. Boo HIss HP, it is very complicated to have to go through system preferences. Please update the software!

    Hi @pearl46 
    I can help you scan using your Deskjet 3070a despite there being no full feature software and drivers for 10.9.
    I have seen the scan not save before in System Preferences, I believe I may have a quick solution for you. When you open the Scanner it does an overview, you might need to change the scan size. It seems that for some reason the Apple scan software is defaulting to custom and 0 x 0, thus it is not actually scanning and saving anything because the scan size is 0. I know it is strange ,but if you unselect custom, then change the scan size to the desired size, and click scan it should then save to the location you selected! 
    I hope this helps.

  • HT201364 I tried to download OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 into my iMAC purchased on June 25, 2007 and upgraded to Snow Leopard OS X10.6.8  When I tried to download Mavericks OS X,  the message came up that it cannot be installed in my computer.   Why?

    I tried to download OS X Mavericks v 10.9.2 into my iMAC purchased on June 25, 2007 and upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8    When I tried to download OS X Mavericks v 10.9.2 into my iMAC, the message  came up that it cannot be installed in my computer.   Why?

    Because there is a flaw in the App Store that gives you an alert you can never ever get rid of telling you to download Mavericks, even though when you click it then tells you your machine is too (I have to say 'darn' here because Apple automatically astersiks out the first word I used that also begins with d and is four letters) old.  So you have to live with that little  "1 update available" alert, though in reality, you cannot install it. You can imagine that either it is a sinister plot to wear away at you to buy some new hardware, even though yours is working just fine, or that it is a programming error Apple just doesn't care enough about to correct.

  • IMovie 10.0.2 and OS X10.9.2 Maverick

    It does not want to "share" a movie I made, not to YouTube, not to file. It seems that this version of iMovie does not collaborate with the OS X Maverick.
    When will Apple have a fix for this?
    A tech. on the phone told me to reinstall the old iMovie 9.0.9 because it works!
    But what good was it to upgrade to the new iMovie?

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
    Free solutions:
    Burn - a free alternative from Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    Gives a fairly good resulting Video-DVD
    Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
    (very simple - Quality ?? not sure - looked problematic reg. Interlacing)

  • I have OS Mavericks on my Macbook Pro but just bought HP printer yesterday saying i need Mac OS x10.5 or 10.6 only. HELP

    Need to know how to updgrade to Mountain Lion or Leopard from Mavericks.

    Check this list to find out if your printer is on it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    Any not listed, will have to come from the vendor directly.
    Apple provides updates to the printers on the HP link
    for the HP printers listed on the first link.   Check obviously that HP's own 10.9  drivers for your particular printer are not newer than HP's link from Apple.
    If HP does not have drivers for your operating system, open source may be a solution*:

Can some one help me on how i can downgrade to OS X10.9.1, or fix pro tools for anyone out there whos really good at pro tools 11. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!
    Adrian Whitehall

    Hi,
    Pt8 works on mine Macmini which I just Updated form Mountain Lion to Mavericks. I used Mbox Micro as interface. Haven't tryied with mbox 2 pro.
    You must have the latest PT8 version which is something like 8.05. That was the update for Mountian Lion.
    You will also have to have the PT10 interface drivers intalled. Midi drivers won't work. If you have them installed and try to use Logic, it won't start until you have trashed them.
    Hope this helps

  • Want to update my imac a1224 2.66mhz mac os x10.5.8 to newer os

    can i update from os x10.5.8 to yosemite or maveric.?

    Back up your data, click here, and read the entire page. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004; some other installed software may also be incompatible.
    Upgrading requires going through Snow Leopard, and Mavericks is no longer available.

  • External Drives for Mac Experiencing Data Loss with Maverick OS -- UPDATED FOR NOVEMBER 6, 2013

    --- Updated November 6, 2013 ---
    On October 30th, 2013 Western Digital informed registered customers of affected products via E-mail regarding reports of Western Digital and other external HDD products experiencing data loss when updating to OS X Mavericks (10.9).  Our investigation to date has found that for a small percentage of customers that have the WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager and/or WD SmartWare software applications installed on their Mac, there can be cases of a repartition and reformat of their Direct Attached Storage (DAS) devices without customer acknowledgement which can result in data loss.  
    WD has been tracking this issue closely through our WD Forum and through our Technical Support hotline and the occurrence rate of this event has been very low.  A specific set of conditions and timing sequences between the OS and the WD software utilities has to occur to cause this issue.  Should this event occur, the data on the product can likely be recovered with a third party software utility if the customer stops using the device immediately after the OS X Mavericks (10.9) upgrade.  WD will be issuing updated versions of these software applications that resolve this issue.
    WD strongly urges our customers to uninstall these software applications before updating to OS X Mavericks (10.9), or delay upgrading until we provide an update to the applications.  If you have already upgraded to Mavericks,  WD recommends that you remove these applications and restart your computer.  If you have already upgraded to Mavericks and are experiencing difficulty in accessing your external hard drive,  please do not save anything to the drive, disconnect the drive from your computer, and contact Western Digital Customer Service at http://support.wdc.com/contact/.
    --- Updated November 5, 2013 ---
    There are reports of Western Digital and other external HDD products experiencing data loss when updating to Apple's OS X Mavericks (10.9).  Western Digital is urgently investigating these reports and the possible connection to the WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager and WD SmartWare software applications. 
    Until the issue is understood and the cause identified, WD strongly urges our customers to uninstall these software applications on their systems before updating to OS X Mavericks (10.9), or delay upgrading.  If you have already upgraded to Mavericks, WD recommends that you remove these applications and restart your computer. WD has removed these software applications from our web site solely as a precaution as we investigate this issue.
    If you have already upgraded to Mavericks and are experiencing difficulty in accessing your external hard drive, please do not save anything to the drive, disconnect the drive from your computer, and contact Western Digital Customer Service at http://support.wdc.com/country/ for further assistance.
    You can now download the WD Software Uninstaller.  This utility will remove Mac WD SmartWare and WD Drive Manager software.  You can find the uninstaller under any of the Mac Drive Downloads sections such as the My Book Studio below.

    I agree. After installing Mavericks I was troubleshooting and reinstalling drivers for days. Many Apps did not work anymore, although the updates slowly arrive. As total divergence of the old Apple philosophy, I had to use endless library cleaning terminal commands to get a new Canon network printer running again. Canon provided the procedures after updating from OS X10.6 to 10.7 already. Now it seems, that the first time I used the Super Drive (CD-DVD Drive) trying to burn an audio CD with baffling error messages (Drive already used..). After this, the RAID1 status of the two MyBook archives changed to JBOD. The changes of OS X10.8 to 10.9 I find unnecessary (iBooks could be an App, Maps we have already the same on other channels). Some changes are even a step back (calendar graphics), the so much more user friendly Office suite iWorks is free, but degraded an of limited use!MadOverlord wrote:
    I have had multiple cases of data loss on WD drives since upgrading to Mavericks, and I do not use any WD software. I was using a 4-bay PROBOX USB3 enclosure with 4 independant drives, each with 1 volume, no RAID. I have managed to copy large files off the WD drive onto my MBP internal drive using the finder, and then find that they are not identical. This problem is intermittent, does not generate any Finder errors, and the drives all show 100% health via SMART. The configuration was rock-solid before Mavericks, and has trashed the directories of 4 drives since I upgraded last week. I am attempting to find a solid replication case for this, but it is difficult. I have not been able to replicate the issue on another 2-bay USB2 dock that I have (different manufacturer). One thing is clear: only one thing changed -- I upgraded to Mavericks.
