Mavericks Won't Finish Download

I've been trying to get OS X Mavericks to download on my 2013 iMac. When I go to the purchases page, it says it has 8 minutes remaining but that it failed to download. It's not on my launchpad at all and I can't figure out how to get it to finish downloading. I had no problems installing it on my Mac Air.
Has anyone had the same problem and found a solution?

    TRy to close itunes by double tapping the home button then slide up all of the open apps and try again.
    another option is to turn off your ipad, logout from your itunes account and try again downloading the movie. If it still gives you error, call apple support and ask for itunes agent to see if there is something wrong with the movie you are trying to download

    Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • HT201272 my movie won't finish downloading

    I just bought a movie through iTunes and it won't finish downloading on my iPad....anyone know why?

    Check your purchase history to be sure you have purchased it.
    You can click Store>Check for Available downloads to see if it is still waiting to download.
    If not, then report the issue. Apple should resolve in a day or less:

  • HT1657 My download keeps freezing, and I have to buy it over and over again and it wastes money. I have now rented my movie 4 times and it still won't finish downloading. Why can't I get the rental for free if it keeps doing this?

    If it doesn't finish downloading then just click Store>Check For Available Downloads
    There is no need to keep re-buying it.

  • OS X Mavericks won't start downloading for me

    I went to the App Store, clicked the download button and then the green free install button thingy and the icon for Mavericks went to my Launchpad. It says it is downloading but I've waited for an hour and it still hasn't responded at all. When i went back to my App Store and checked if it's in my purchased tab, it wasn't. I deleted Mavericks and started to download it again but the result is still the same. Does anybody have the same problem? Please help me. Thanks.

    If you do have an iMac, Late 2012, restart the iMac holding the Command+Option+R keys so you boot from the Apple internet servers, you must be on the internet to do that.  You can then choose Install Mac OS X and reinstall your operating system.  Then proceed to go to the Mac App Store and download and install Mavericks.

  • Movie won't finish downloading and won't go away!

    My daughter started a download of a movie and was planning on renting it for a single showing. The movie has never finished downloading and everytime my ITunes syncs up when I start the computer, the downloading resumes and then I get an error message. I really don't want this movie anymore and I have tried to delete it, but it always seems to come back. How do I kill it once and for all.

    Try reset your iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

  • When i buy a app it won't finish downloading

    When i buy a app it says installing but when i go to lanch pad it wont ever finish downloading heres a pick its in top right its bean like that for 3 days and yes i have wifi          

    Did you check if the orientation lock is activated? Double click the home button and bring up the multitask bar, swipe to the right until you see the play controls for music, right next to it is the lock icon for the orientation of the screen, tap on it to unlock. Close the task bar again by hitting the home button.

  • The ipod won't finish downloading updates.

    I am having trouble getting my ipod's (2 of them) and my iphone getting updates.  Here is the problem.  I connect them, click to update.  The computer says 4+ hrs to finish download.   All is well but it seems to stop when the computer goes to sleep.  As long as I messing on the computer, it all goes according to plan.  This happens to the phone and to each of the ipods so it has to be me doing something wrong.  The same thing happned when trying to restore an ipod.  It started and says going to take long hours.  Leave it alone and it just fizzes out.  What am I doing wrong??  Thanks!!!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Need help with an app that won't finish downloading to my iPhone 5s

    This app will neither finish downloading, nor will it delete. The app is called Google Translate. please help me. Thank you all in advance.

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

  • Pages on Mavericks won't open downloaded Google Drive docs

    How can I force Mavericks to let Pages open downloaded Google Drive docs?
    I installed Mavericks and then reverted back to iWork 09 but Pages now won't open files in .docx format that I download from Google Drive.
    I get error:
    The document “5TThinkPiece.docx” couldn’t be opened.
    This is one of the biggest #firstworldproblems I can imagine; if Mavericks isn't comptatible with Google Drive then the Mac has to go, because Gdrive > Computer.

    I had the same problem, but fixed it.
    Having bought the CD-ROM with iWork way back updates for this does not appear automatically in Mavericks App Store. However, after downloading the update for iWork here:

    - Pages works like a charm again when it comes to opening all kind of Word documents.
    Hope this will help you also.

    The best option is to choose the default location which is your User folder or try saving to your desktop.
    Alternately if you continue to experience difficulties then you can follow the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.
