Mavericks will not download from Appstore

My MacBook Pro 15" early 2011 model running Lion 10.7.5, wont download Mavericks. Using wi-fi internet connection, any ideas why or possible solutions, would be appreciated.

susanann,
I have a slow DSL connection, and it took about five hours for me to download Mavericks. (It’s over 5 GB, so I’d let it download overnight, and wasn’t observing its progress.) If your internet connection is similar to mine, then perhaps it actually needs that long to download?
Have you also checked to see if your download is paused in Launchpad, despite not pausing it there yourself?

Mavericks will not download from app store

Trying to download the app through the app store to install Mavericks on my Mac Book. Will no download for some reason. I definitely have a very strong connection to the Internet. Any ideas?

What is the error message you are getting?
Is it asking for some other Apple ID?

Mavericks will not download from the App store. Repeatedly receive a message that "an error has occurred. Try again"

I have repeatedly tried to download Mavericks from the App store. When attempted from the update tab it fails and instructs me to try again from the Purchases tab. When I try it there, I receive an error message that "an error has occurred" and to try again. I have successfully downloaded other apps (both Apple and third party) but Mavericks won't do it.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw. However, it will not download from the "Update" option in CS6.

I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw (I was told that the Camera Raw update 8.3, which is available for CS6, included this camera). However, it will not download from the "Update" option in CS6. I have tried over 10 times - it just says update is not working. and I cannot find an alternate way of downloading this file. So I still can use my camera, even thought I paid to upgrade. HELP please.

What OS do you have? You say you have explained what you had (computer/opsys) but I honestly don't see it here. If you had mentioned that my advice would have been different; I believe you can only upgrade as far as Camera Raw 8.3 on an older Windows system. There is more information here (look specifically for the "Revert to 8.3 ..." titles).
Adobe Camera Raw Help | Camera Raw/DNG Converter 8.4 on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista
What you've done/written in your last post confuses things further, unfortunately. Photoshop 13.1 is strictly a Creative Cloud version. The highest you can go is Photoshop CS6 13.0.1.3 with perpetual license.
And as far as I can recall, that version can work on Windows back to XP:
System requirements | Photoshop
I don't think you're out of luck, but you seem to be leaping into doing things without having the full story, and are jumping to conclusions a bit too quickly.
Here's what I suggest you try:
1. Remove Photoshop entirely with the Creative Suite Removal Tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
2. Install Photoshop CS6 from your original media or from here:
Download CS6 products
3. Update the application using its own Help - Updates process. That really should get you the latest Camera Raw version that will work. If that does not bring you a Camera Raw that works with your Nikon, use the "Revert to 8.3" instructions above.

Mail will not download from Earthlink POP account

Have two accounts set up in Mail: one is IMAP me.com account; the other is POP Earthlink account. Suddenly, today, Mail on my MBPro will not download messages from the Earthlink POP account. It asked for my password (oddly, because it is in keychain) & then would no longer download mail. Messages download to my iPhone just fine from both accounts. Have checked connection doctor (all ok), deleted messages after last download using webmail in case of malformed email, & fixed file permissions. No luck so far. Suggestions, please?

UPDATE: I deleted the me.com account and added it back in & Mail seems to be working fine again. For some reason, I have a lot of duplicate messages in the Earthlink In box now, though. Still curious as to what caused this to begin with. Is it something about the me.com account? It seemed like Mail quit downloading messages after it checked the me.com account.

Having upgarded to Firefox 5 my desktop will not download from the Internet, it's working on my lap top with the same version and Norton 360

Podcast episodes will not download from podcast stream

I have set up a podcast on my website to download sermons. I created the xml file which I tested in my feeds section of my browser. The xml file works perfectly there in that all the episodes are listed with thier respective audio files. If you click on the actual audio file it downloads the way that it should and plays. I copied the xml file location and went into Itunes and chose subdcribe to a pod cast. It asked for the url which I pasted the xml file location. Itunes displayed all of my episodes the way that it should. The problem then starts. When I click on an episode to download the audio file the episode name flashes for a second or 2 in the window on top and then nothing. The audio file will not download on any of the episodes. It lists them all but other then that I can't do anything with them. My xml file location is: http://www.stpaulsconway.org/stpaulssermons.xml What could I possibly be doing wrong?

Glad to hear that you have solved your problem.
May I suggest that if you have any further questions regarding Podcasts that you are producing, that you post the question in the Producing Podcasts community, where people with more specific knowledge will be sure to help you.
Producing Podcasts is listed under Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Producing Podcasts:

Running Lion 10.7.5 currently, OSX Mavericks will not download. Mid 2009 Macbook Pro

When I attempted to download the update, it asked me for my password but will not down load. It does not show as installed. I am currently running Lion 10.7.5 being unable to correct this message info VIA the drop down provided after several tries.

Make sure you are logged into your admin account to download Mavericks.
System Preferences > Users & Groups > Password
Make sure the Firewall is turned off in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
Disable anti virus software if installed.
Network monitoring apps such as Little Snitch or Growl can prevent App Store downloads
Mavericks is a 5.35GB file. Make sure there's a least 15% free storage space.
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage

Will not download from upstream server

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help please. We have downstream server which is set to synch with an upstream server managed by a 3rd party organisation. We can connect and see new updates needed to be downloaded via our WSUS GUI, we can approve these updates
and then the download indicator just stays a 0%. When we dig around, and look at the BITS jobs they are all trying to download from the Microsoft update site (on the web), not the configured upstream server. All the settings have been checked our end and all
seem good. We have even bitten the bullet and removed the whole of our local WSUS (including DB), and re-installed and pointed back to the upstream WSUS server, but get the same response i.e. BITS tries to go off to the Microsoft Download site. Anyone had
this before please? Any help would be good. Before anyone asks, we are in a location where we do not have Internet access for a number of reasons, but the upstream server does. Thanks very much.
Phil

We have downstream server which is set to synch with an upstream server managed by a 3rd party organisation.
This is always problematic from a technology standpoint. It's also arguably a violation of the WSUS EULA, unless that "3rd party organization" has a Service Provider Licensing Agreement allowing them to provide WSUS services to other licensees.
We can connect and see new updates needed to be downloaded via our WSUS GUI, we can approve these updates and then the download indicator just stays a 0%. When we dig around, and look at the BITS jobs they are all trying to download from the Microsoft
update site (on the web), not the configured upstream server.
As Daniel JiSun notes, you hold the configuration option for this behavior. Reconfigure your WSUS server to download from the USS, not Microsoft. But you've said this is configured correctly, which leaves us with one other possibility: If the USS does not
maintain a local content store, then there's no way you can get files from the USS if it doesn't have them, and your server will be forced to download them from Microsoft. Have you checked with your provider to ensure they're providing the files?
Before anyone asks, we are in a location where we do not have Internet access for a number of reasons, but the upstream server does.

Mavericks will not download on iMac

My early 2008 iMac uses OS X 10.7.5. Yesterday, I tried downloading Mavericks. The iMac froze up. When I go it running, I could not find the download. Now, when I try downloading anew, the iMac will not do anything. I have checked Launch Pad, and the download is not there. Any suggestions?

Try logging in as the admin user and then downloading and installing the software. The /Users folder contains all the home folders for all the users on the system - and whenever you login the default icon for this home folder is always a "home" icon.
Make sure to install the software so that "All users" can use it, not just the person installing it - software installers usually ask you this question.
good luck...

Will not download from download file.

After downloading to download file the file will not open or open folder.

Please explain the situation! What steps where performed? Did you encounter any error messages? How about trying a clean reinstall?
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Safari and Firefox will not download from a particular site

Greetings,
I own a Dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 (FW800) with 2 MB L3 cache per processor and 1 GB DDR SDRAM with the Mac OS X Version 10.4.11
My Safari version is 4.1.2 (4533.18.5)
My Firefox version is 3.6.10
I want to access this site for the information that it contains:
http://www.gis.mt.gov/
Safari has never worked with this site.
Firefox has worked very well for the past 2 years.
Recently, very recently, both browsers do NOT work with this site. I called the state's technical support and was informed:
1) That it is a hit or miss possibility for Safari and Firefox to work properly with this site; and,
2) That the site is optimized to operate with Internet Explorer for Windows.
I am unable to find and to download a recent version of Internet Explorer for Mac. Microsoft ended support for this browser (version 5.2.3) on 12/31/2006. I did download this version and it did not work.
Open this site: http://www.gis.mt.gov/
Click on “Property Map” located in upper left area of the screen.
On new drop-down, click on the “OK” button
A new window should appear with a map of Montana, with outlines of its 56 counties. If this map does NOT appear; then, the problem is being shown.
If this map of counties does appear; then, GREAT.
On this new window and in lower right hand corner choose a city and click on the “Go” button. A new window with the city shown should appear. If this city does not appear; then, there is the problem.
In the past I have used the “Property Map” most of the time because it contains information most useful to me. I want to continue using this “Property Map” into the future. The problem is that my results with both Safari and Firefox is a blank window after completing the above steps.
Help ! ! What can I do different/change/modify?

There is your answer. Many US Government sites are the same - they simply WILL NOT follow the necessary web standards to make them Apple and/or Safari compliant.
The only thing you can try is to go to Safari's Develop Menu and try using Internet Explorer as the User Agent.
